PLANS TO FIGHT MORAL MAJORITY
Riegle rallies local Dems
By NANCY BILYEAU
Acknowledging his place at the head of
the Moral Majority "hit list" for 1982,
U.S. Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Mich.) told
Ann. Arbor Democrats at a meeting
held last night he expects nothing less
than "a hard, tough fight" for re-
election.
In spite of the large amounts of
"special interest money" Riegle expec-
ts to be used by "the other side" to
defeat him, the senator expressed con-
fidence that a "major citizen campaign
effort" could assure his victory.
"IN OUR STATE we have the kind of
deep, broad, strong history of indepen-
dent thought" that should deter
Michigan voters from "turning their
decision over to a hit list," he said.
Riegle discussed his re-election, the
state economy, President Carter's
defeat, and his auto industry speech
Self-defense, campus Dial-A-Ride investigated
The MSA Security Task Force is
looking into the possibility of of-
fering self-defense classes to con-
cerned students, according to task
force chairman Bruce Brumberg,
who said he has already contacted a
black belt karate expert. Closer to!
completion, according to Brumberg,
are plans for a Dial-A-Ride service
for University students. The com-
mittee is looking at two plans: one
involving University-run vans, and
another using taxicabs subcontrac-
ted by the University for which
students would pay a nominal fee
each time they rode.
given earlier yesterday with about 60
Democratic workers and candidates for
city government positions. The
gathering was held in the Michigan
League's Henderson Room.
"The Senate is not a happy place
these days on our side of the aisle,"
Riegle said. "To see the chairs of men
such as John Culver and Birch Bayh
moved over to the Republican side is
pretty depressing.
"We're going to have to pull together
to be successful" in turning the
Democratic minority into a majority in
the Senate, Riegle said, adding that the
1984 elections would be crucial at all
levels.
Among the Democratic candidates
gaining advice for their own 1981 Ann
Arbor city council elections were
Lowell Peterson (First Ward), Cheryle
Griffin (Third Ward), Mary Burger
(Fourth Ward), and Sheila Cumber-
worth (Fifth 'Ward.)
Also present were Democratic
mayoral candidate Robert Faber, State
Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor), and
State Sen. Ed Pierce (D-Ann Arbor).

Students may guide Union policy
By MAURA CARRY
The Acting Executive Committee of
the Michigan Union unveiled a charter
yesterday that proposes to give studen-
ts more authority in guiding policy-
making decisions concerning the soon-
to-be renovated Michigan Union.
"We've come up with a document that
allows students to have a voice in how
the Union will respond to them," said
Matthew Neumeier, a member of the
AEC. The AEC has been negotiating
with Union Director Frank Cianciola
since early September on the develop-
ment of a charter that would give
students a more active role in deter-
mining how the Union will function at
the University.
THE PROPOSED charter must first
be approved by Vice President for
Student Services Henry Johnson before
going into effect.
A new Union Executive Committee,
according to the proposed charter, will
be the Union's chief policy-making
body. The committee will have 17
members,: eleven of whom would be
students. The ;remaining. members
Would be: drawn from the ranks of
University alumni, faculty members,
and administrators.
Cianciola said that the students on the
AEC have shown "a real sincere in-
terest in the Union."
THE PRIMARY CONCERN of the
AEC is to see that the Union becomes a
student center rather than a University
or community center, member Mark
Bonine said. Until January 1979 the
Union was controlled by a Board of
Directors. At that time, the Regents
turned control of the Union over to the
Office of Student Services because
students were not using it.
There was little student input in Union
policy until last spring, when a group of
students decided to draft a charter that
addressed the renovation and gover-
nance of the Union, according to AEC
members. This initiative eventually
lead to the formation of the AEC and
the charter that was presented yester-
day.
"The enthusiam and general interest
in the Union has been exciting for me,"
said Cianciola.
THE AEC HAS FOCUSED on the
Union "as an idea rather than as a
building," Cianciola added. "Its
revitalization isn't hinged on physical
renovations," he said.
Cianciola said that the new executive
committee described in the proposed
charter will be concerned with finding
out what students, faculty, and ad-
ministrators want from the Union.
A student advisory group has been
meeting with the architect in charge of
Union renovations to offer their input.
This committee is considering
developing an audio visual presentation
about the Union that students and other
members of the University community
may-submiit reactions to.
"THIS IS SUPPOSED to be a student
Union," Neumieier said. Therefore, he
added, students should have a major
role in determining space allocation in
the building and how it will be used.
"I hope this charter becomes a model
for other Universities," said Brad
Canale, chairman of the AEC.
The Union executive committee will

serve as a guide to the Union director,
making sure that the Union is respon-
sive to the needs of its users. Together,
the executive committee and the direc-
tor will establish policies for use of
space in the Union and will approve any
proposed physidal changes, according
to the proposed charter.
BONINE SAID applicants for the
proposed Union executive committee
will be screened and finalists would be
chosen by the Michigan Student
Assembly. He added that members to
the committee could be chosen as soon
as Mar. 1, but that the AEC "is not
trying to push MSA for a date."
Canale said he was pleased with the
way the students have worked to create
the proposed charter. "We attained a
goal with much honesty," he said. He
added that the AEC had'worked closely,
and openly with Cianciola.
Cianciola agreed, and said that there:
were few major disagreements bet
ween the students on the AEC and the
administration. "There was never any
disagreement in terms of what the
Union ought to be," Cianciola said.
