Students revive PIRGIM fee
controversy for MSA elections
(Continued from Page 3)
bly's general fund.
More than 1,000 signatures are
required by Feb. 19 to put a referen-
dum on MSA's March election bal-
lot. Non-voting MSA member Bruce
Belcher, a Rackham graduate student,
said the assembly will probably
sample 10 percent of the signatures
to see if all are students before a ref-
erendum is finalized.
MSA Vice-President Wendy
Sharp said she was ambivalent about
the petition. "Any student can bring
up anything if they get enough sig-
natures," she said. "But, it seems re-
dundant... the students already de-
cided that PIRGIM should be funded
by MSA."
In MSA's elections last spring,
69 percent of the students voted in
favor of a referendum to fund PIR-
GIM with an optional refund.
But Bhushan said many students
signed an earlier petition to get
PIRGIM on last spring's ballot be-
cause the group was in the "public
interest," not because they wanted to
contribute.
But Sharp said students probably
knew what the PIRGIM petition en-
tailed. "I don't think there are many
people who sign something without
reading it," Sharp said.
Regardless of the lingering PIR-
GIM controversy, Angelotti said he
started the petition because PIRGIM
receives a disproportionate amount
of student funding. "The 75 cent fee
is unfair because it is directed to one
group (PIRGIM)," he said. "Whereas
MSA's general fund goes to a vari-
ety of groups."
Weine said PIRGIM has re-
sponded with a petition to keep its
funding from the student fee, but
representatives from the group were
unavailable for comment.
Campus reacts to court decision

LSA senior Brad Appleton dances during an Impact Jazz performance last night at the Mendelssohn Theatre
in the League. Impact is only open to non-dance majors and offers members the unique opportunity to combine
dancing with academics.
Neal includes prosecutor in civil suit
effect on the University.
The group has unsuccessfully
lobbied the regents to change regen-
tal bylaw 14.06 to include the pro-
hibition of discrimination based on
sexual orientation.
In ruling for the soldier, the court
said homosexuals who contend they
were denied their right under the
Constitution's Fifth and 14th
amendments to equal protection of
the law must get the same type of
judicial review the Supreme Court
has required only for racial minori-
ties and aliens.
Wayman said that because the
ruling gives homosexuals the same
protection that other minorities re-
ceive, the Board's three major rea-
sons for refusing to add discrimina-
tion on the basis of sexual orienta-
tion to bylaw 14.06 will be com-
pletely invalidated.
The main reasons given by some
regents were:
-It would force the University to
stop dealing with organizations,
such as the armed forces, that dis-
criminate against homosexuals;
-It would force the University to
give preference to homosexuals in
admissions under its affirmative ac-
tion policy;
-It has no federal or state mandate.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar-
bor) refused to comment on the rul-
ing because he had not read the
court's decision.
Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline)
was also unfamiliar with the ruling,
but said, "If that is in fact determined
to be the law by the Supreme Court,
I'm sure that (the regents) would
follow it."
One member of the University
community who can identify with
the court's decision is Billie Davis,
Lesbian Coordinator for the Lesbian-
Gay Male Programs Office in the
Michigan Union.
Davis was discharged from the
Marine Corps in 1967 because of her
homosexual orientation. "I didn't
choose to fight it. I was 18, naive,
and scared. I just wanted out," she
said, "I was told it could've been a
lot worse if I fought it."

the woman)."
He added, "Cooper candidly
admitted immediately after the ac-
quittal when speaking to the press"
that he repeatedly made allegations
"without really having any founda-
tion."
"He decided to vent his spleen by
castigating our client to the press,"
Boak said.
The trial caused many groups to
respond. Director of the Sexual As-
sault Prevention and Awareness
Center Julie Steiner said Neal's
charges "are very clearly done for
harassment purposes."
Cooper's defense attorney in this
lawsuit is Miriam Meier of the
Washtenaw County Corporation
Counsel's office. She was unavail-
able for comment.
The suit is not expected to come
to trial for several months.
