Page 8-Thursday, January 22, 1981-The Michigan Daily MSA member N res (Continued from Page 1) AN APPLICANT for a position on the judiciary panel, Jerry MacDonald, argued that Schaper's return to MSA was illegal - that Schaper should go through the same process other. prospective justices are required to go through, rather than simply being voted back in by the assembly.r Schaper retorted that since his resignation was never accepted, he had never technically left the organization. But on Tuesday Schaper decided to step down once again, and "wait for the next set of (CSJ) vacancies to occur." He said he will probably reapply for a position. "I WOULD STILL like to be involved in: the future," Schaper said when he told the Daily of his resignation. A few MSA members, familiar with Schaper's history, said they were caught off-guard by the abrupt way his re-appointment was proposed, and voted against it However, he was reappointed by a 17-2-1 vote. "If that whole thing took four minutes I'd be surprised," said Bernie Edelman of- MSA. "People didn't realize the significance of the situation. They were really voting in ignorance." Edelman said he didn't vote for Schaper to return to; the judiciary because he "knew about his past." JOHN FEIGER, MSA's legislative relations coordinator, said he was "shocked" when Schaper reappeared. "I did not expect him to do that," Feiger explained. "It's incredible that people continue to let him participate in student government - it's ridiculous for him to be involved for so long." MSA President Marc Breakstone argued against Schaper's reappoin- tment. He questioned Schaper's role of "interpreting laws that only he under- stands," and compared his continued involvement to a Band-aid - a tem- porary aid that does not attack the problems. The majority of MSA members disagreed, citing Schaper's experience and his seemingly limitless energy in working in student government. "I DIDN'T KNOW about that," said member. Sherri Young after hearing about the 1974 lawsuit levied against Schaper by Carl Sandberg, who was president that year. "And it does turn me off. I am surprised. All I've heard about Dave Schaper is what he's doing now. That's all anybody talks about." - Kevin Ireland, another MSA mem- ber, said he didn't know the details of Schaper's history when he voted in favor of his reappointment. "I knew something went on, but I wasn't aware of the details. I just know of my ex- periences with him here. "He has worked his butt off, and has done a real good job," he said. DURING HIS LONG career,.Schaper has crossed paths with hundreds of students and University ad- ministrators, in addition to par- ticipating on dozens of committees. Some of his associates from past years, now working outside of Ann Arbor, ex- pressed great surprise to hear of Schaper's continuing involvement. "I'm flabbergasted," said David Faye, who lost the 1973 SGC election to Lee Gill - an .election that Schaper directed, and which was invalidated due to ballot box stuffing. "Here is a person that has always abused power, and he's the same student who's working on the student judiciary," he said. Faye explained that Schaper ap- proached him after the election, which ultimately went to Gill, and told him how he fixed the election. "He rigged the Gill election because he could get something out of it. He told me so," Faye said.' SCHAPER WAS THE center of con- troversy in 1974 when, upon in- vestigating Lee Gill's financial records, student government President Carl Sandberg discovered that nearly half the 1972-73 budget was unaccounted for. Schaper and then-President Bill Jacobs were named as co-defendents in a civil suit. "Sandberg said, 'C'mon, let's get some accounting,' " said Calvin Luker, the MSA president who decided on the case in 1976. "We spent a summer day going through their records, and found that they had documentation in most igns cases for their expenses. Where they didn't, let's just say the explanations were credible." Luker added, however, that suspicions still remained in his mind about Schaper, Jacobs and their ac- tions, even though the case was decided in their favor. "It wasn't necessarily a fact that they'd done anything technically wrong, but that doesn't mean they were ethicallly and morally correct. A person, I believe, could be acting within SGC policies and procedures and still be outside the law. I'd have doubts about that case in a real courtroom," he said. "IT'S HARD FOR me to understand how people like Dave can have a con- tinuing interest in student gover- nment," Luker added. "In cases in which people are creating a fiefdom, there has to be some monitoring. But I won't deny his right to be involved." Tom Easthope, the University's associate vice-president for student services, expressed similar curiosity about Schaper's career, which he has observed since its beginning. "My understanding was that he retired," Easthope said. "I was disap- pointed to hear otherwise. I think Dave should move on to other things in life." He described as "self-serving and egotistical" the notion that Schaper is the only person qualified to handle the judicial responsibilities at CSJ. a I :::::::::::.::::::::......:::::...:. :::....:s..:: ...........,..............r ..a.., .......,..... :: :::: r....... r....... ....... r .....rr::..::::... ....r..

"This is one of the few times when inaction is the best action," Akins said. AKINS EXPLAINED that the U.S. image abroad was tarnished by its han- dling of the hostage crisis. "It is dif- ficult to tell people around the world that we are not evil, we are merely in- competent," he said. Akins said he felt the whole Iranian crisis could have been avoided. "It was perfectly predictable to anyone who opened his eyes and ears." Turning to Iran's war with Iraq, Akins speculated that the war was predominantly caused by Iran's call for the Muslims in Iraq to kill their officers ATTENTION HONORS STUDENTS!

Akins added, however, that "(The threat of) a revolution in Saudi Arabia should worry us much more than a revolution in Iran." He explained that former President Carter refused to sell the Saudi Arabian government equipment for their American-built F-15 aircraft.
