The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 3, 1984 - page 3 Ann Arborites are unique, Bullard says Johnson opens minority festival By SUSAN ANGEL 'Everyone in Ann Arbor is weird because they get their "information from newspapers instead of television," state representative Perry Bullard told a group of four students at Markley Dormitory last night. Bullard, an Ann Arbor Democrat who is up for re-election this year, called Washtenaw County's low unem- ployment and political savvy "an island of a good-thing," compared to the rest of the nation. HE CONTRASTED Ann Arbor voters to the average voter who is fooled by President Reagan's "patriotic and rosy picture" of national affairs. "It's a whole different level of ignorance in the White House now," Bullard said. "We're in an ideological wonderland and it's dangerous. 'Bullard said last October's Grenada' invasion can be attributed to Reagan's simplistic world view which sees com- munism lurking behind every development in world affairs. OVER THE - NEXT few weeks, Bullard will be visiting with students to try to determine what students' con- cerns are and to lobby for presidential candidate Walter Mondale. Bullard said Michigan will be unable to make significant headway on its 12 percent unemployment rate without a more sympathetic gover- nment in Washington. "We need a new government in Washington or else we're stuck with boot-strapping in Michigan," he said. In response to a question about whether Jesse Jackson might take away some of Mondale's votes, Bullard said: "Jesse Jackson has no chance to win the presidency or to get the Democratic nomination. I hope he understands that unless he can pull a lot of support for the Democratic party, it's all rhetoric with no long-term significance.'' At the end of his talk, Bullard joked that he should go to the T.V. room where the Michigan-Michigan State basketball game was playing, in order to reach more students. By ALLISON ZOUSMER Vice President for Student Service Henry Johnson kicked off the Minority Arts and Cultural Festival last night by urging black students to "be greedy' and take all you can from this place" educationally and culturally. Johnson, speaking to 60 faculty and students at East Quad, said "the dream is still alive, if not completely well...(and) the manifestation is you." THE FESTIVAL, now in its 10th year, is sponsored by the East Quad Minority Council to commemorate Black History Month. Although Johnson did not speak specifically about racial problems at the University, he said black students have to "work doubly hard to conquer past barriers and current ones." Johnson urged students to continue to pursue Martin Luther King's dream that black people will be judged on their abilities,,not on their color, but he said the tactics of the '80s are different from those used in the past. "THE RHETORIC of the '60s and '70s doesn't cut it today," he said. Johnson said blacks must "lead with their brains, not the gut." He said blacks can make a dent in their problems by working for can- didates and voting in November's elec- tions. He urged the audience to refuse to accept "a pattern of being used to abuse," and declared that blacks have an obligation to work toward the solution of society's problems. Naveena Daniels, an LSA sophomore who is coordinator of the minority council, said last night'sceremony drew the largest attendance in the festival's 10-year history. The festival offers a number of events continuing through Sunday. Tomorrow night there will be a Gospel Concert at 7:30 p.m. in Rackham Auditorium; Saturday there will be a workshop on solving minority educational problems and an art exhibit; and on Sunday, School of Music and Dance students will perform a classical recital.

In graduate school it would cost you thousands; in the Navy we pay you. And the Navy pays well. The start- ing salary is $17,000 (more than most companies pay).
