The Michigan Daily-Thursday, January 15, 1981-Page 3 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).

Dr. Michael Voorhies from the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln discovered the fossil bed. 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 CONTACT LENSES SOFT AND HARD* CONTACT LENSES $210.00 includes all fees. * includes a second pair of hard lenses Dr. Paul C. Uslan, optometrist 545 Church Street 769-1222 by appointment 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. . -~ 1 vi Victory ipasto :00 til close -, i Pitcher l mm ~1i N..
