The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, March 30, 1988- Page 5 Ward3 Continued from Page 1 Republican councilmember Jeanette Middleton, who chose not to seek reelection this year, is the } current city councilmember for the district. The candidates must face the same divisive issue as other council candidates - the controversial rent control debate, which appears as a ballot referendum. If passed, rent control would tie rent hikes to inflation, utility costs and tax increases. Brater, the Democratic Caucus li- aison to the city's Democratic Party, ! supports rent control as long as the city's housing code is vigorously enforced, in order to retain the qual- ity of units which some fear will decline under the ordinance. BUT CAMPBELL, who man- ages the First of America Bank branch on Liberty Street, responded that "those who decide to live here have to realize that a large chunk of their disposable income will go to- ward rent." Last year, Campbell ran unsuc- cessfully against Council member Jeff Epton, (D-Third Ward) whose two-year term ends next year. De- spite low turnout among students in Ann Arbor elections - which has held true even in previous years, when student-backed propositions appeared on the ballot - the candi- dates agree that students can have a decisive impact in what may be a close election. Campbell says he does not expect to attract a big chunk of the student vote. "The students who are going to vote on April 4 have always voted predominantly Democratic," Camp- bell, adding that "they identify Re- publicans with Reagan and Reaganomics." But Brater actively seeks student support. She hopes to harness the attention and support of students in East Quad, where student voter turnouts are highest, because many backed Epton last year. "STUDENTS are a very vital part of our coalition," Brater said. "We really want students to be in- volved in the city electoral process." Both candidates support a city role to provide low-income housing in Ann Arbor. Campbell criticizes the council for rejecting the Liberty Street sin- gle-room-occupancy project last fall. He commends Mayor Gerald Jerni- gan's and Council member Larry Hunter's (D-First Ward) proposal to double the rooms available at the YMCA. But neighborhood opposition presents an obstacle that must be overcome to gain the needed support W ard2 Continued from Page 1 Hirshorn is basing his reelection on a host of issues, including a fo- cus on development and a knowledge of how the city works culled from both his council experience and aca- demic work. Sheldon said her views more closely reflect those of her neighbors than Hirshorn's. She described Hir- shorn's differences with other Democratic caucus members on some issues - like the minimum- wage housing facility which council rejected last year - as attempts to make himself appear less like a Democrat. In reality, Sheldon says, Hirshorn supported the Democrats 63 out of 68 times. Hirshorn agrees that he normally supports his fellow Democrats. Hir- shorn counters that Sheldon is in fact mimicking his slate: "If you look at her fliers, she's running on my record," he says. REGARDLESS of who's imi- tating whom, the candidates undeni- ably agree on more issues than do rivals in other wards. Unlike many council Republi- cans, Sheldon believes developers should be willing to put up with the sometimes onerous Planning Com- mission process in order to get a project approved. Hirshorn says he has sought to ensure that new buildings are com- patible with their surroundings and reflect the needs of pedestrians. The candidates disagree about council's relationship to the police department. Specifically, a resolu- tion passed two months - and introduced by Hirshorn - requiring the police to provide council with monthly reports on crime in the city. HIRSHORN says the informa- tion provided by these reports will allow council to evaluate the de- partment's effectiveness. But Shel- don calls them "a very expensive use of police time." Hirshorn cited his success in working with the off-campus crime commission, a body made up of Brater . . . calls student support vital for low-income housing, Brater said. She was referring to neighbors' sen- timent against the proposed single- room-occupancy in Ann Arbor's Old Westside. Also running in the 3rd Ward is Libertarian candidate Julie Brock- man. She recommends that afford- able housing can be provided with- out government involvement by voluntary cooperation between de- velopers and charitable groups. Sheldon ... wants balanced neighborhoods representatives from the Greek sys- tem, the Michigan Student Assem- bly, and the University administra- tion, as an example of his ability work with constituents to meet their needs. Sheldon recommends that council work more closely with the police department to reduce crime, "Hirshorn has not been supportive of the police," Sheldon said.
