l The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 13, 1988 - Page 3 Dukakis' mother visits Ann Arbor BY AMY KOCH Euterpe Dukakis, the mother of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, lauded her son's "family- oriented" values to residents of Miller Manor's senior center yesterday during a campaign swing through Ann 'Arbor. Mrs. Dukakis spoke of her immigrant background and its influence on her son. Coming from Greece at age nine, Mrs. Dukakis and her family found "life here good." With her brothers working in a shoe factory and struggling for education, Mrs. Dukakis feels her eventual financial success embodies the meaning of "Democratic opportunity." After highlighting the integrity and strong character of the Dukakis family, Mrs. Dukakis introduced the essence of her visit: her son. "MIKE KNOWS the needs of senior citizens. He cares about housing, nutrition, and social security. He wants nurses to come to seniors' houses to help with cooking, errands, or just to hold hands with. He wants to address the frightening question 'what will happen to me when I can't take care of myself?"' Prior to Mrs. Dukakis' entrance, the crowd was immersed in political discussions of their own. Many expressed fears of both Bush's determination to squelch social security benefits as well as his seeming lack of concern for America's elderly. The Dukakis headquarters in Ann Arbor was responsible for bringing Mrs. Dukakis to Miller Manor. Christine Montague, Deputy Director for the Second Congressional District feels Mrs.Dukakis' "mini" campaign for her son is "great" because she is "correcting all the lies being spread about him." Steve Levy, coordinator of the Ann Arbor office for Dukakis, feels that Mrs. Dukakis' speeches to the elderly are critical since the campaign is "trying to reach all segments of the community with relevant issues.". MILLER MANOR, a federally subsidized housing development for low income senior citizens and the handicapped, is a typical target for Mrs. Dukakis' speeches. With a major thrust of Dukakis' campaign aimed at alleviating the elderly's housing, medical, and social security dilemmas, Mrs. Dukakis is addressing older Americans around the U.S. to assure these people of her son's intentions. And, in closing, Mrs. Dukakis did not hesitate to affirm that "behind every great man, there is a woman - me." U'U erases anti- Libertarian preaches less government rape gr BY LAURA COUNTS A group of women who spray painted "A woman was raped here" at about 300 locations around Ann Ar- bor last week suspects the quick re- moval of the graffiti may be a con- gerted effort by the University to ig- nore the issue of rape. "The University immediately ef- faced our signs so that the question could not continue to be so boldly raised," said one of the painters, who asked not to be identified for fear of prosecution. Although the fine for defacing property varies from case to case, the city attorney's office said that the maximum penalty is 90 days imprisonment or a $100 fine. The painting - done by about 70 concerned women who organized the effort for five months -- was in- tended to heighten community awareness of the under-reporting of sexual assault, said a spokesperson for the unnamed group. But David Pope, a plant opera- tions employee in charge of graffiti affiti removal, said the removal was not a consciously aimed at this specific graffiti. "We don't decide if it's right or wrong, we just remove it," said Pope. No direct action has been taken by the city to remove the signs be- cause it is not against the city code to write on Ann Arbor sidewalks, said an employee of the city Trans- portation Department. Property owners are responsible for the sidewalk in front of their property. The city only responds if there'is a complaint, and then usu- ally paints over the offending graf- fiti. Virtually all of the rape sites were taken from the monthly crime maps published in the Ann Arbor Observer over the past three years. About ten sites were from unreported rapes. A similar campaign in 1980 met with more publicity and some painting remained for two years, said organizers. BY MICHAEL LUSTIG The least amount of government is the best government. That's the basic philosophy of the Libertarian Party, based upon the ideas of Thomas Jefferson. And Dick Jacobs, the party's candidate for the U.S. Senate, elaborated on it last night in a visit to the University. Jacobs, making his sixth cam- paign stop in the day, said Libertari- ans want to shift government ser- vices to the private sector because "competition in the private sector can give us better services at lower costs." About 15 people came to in An- gell Hall to hear Jacobs' speech. This would mean, he said, elimi- nating large portions of government - including the Postal Service, civil service, and the welfare system. The goal of this is to reduce the fed- eral budget by $500 billion, Jacobs JESSICA GREENE/Doily said. Libertarian Party candidate for the Michigan He also wants a balanced budget by Sen. Don Riegle, speaks on the Liber-amendment to the Constitution and a of less government last night. line-item veto. If elected, Jacobs' would sponsor legislation to reduce all Congressional salaries by 20 percent and freeze salaries until the budget is balanced. He added that he would voluntar- ily take the pay cut if elected. He also favors legalizing drugs. "I don't advocate it or condone it, but that's your choice," he said. Jacobs said banning certain drugs leads to crime, and pointed to Prohibition in the 1920s as an example. Libertarians are opposed to abor- tion, Jacobs said, because they con- sider it a form of violence. But, he said, he would permit it in a case of rape or incest because those are also violent acts. Jacobs, a businessperson from Holland, Michigan, ran for governor in 1982. The Libertarian Party, founded in 1972, has 47 candidates in Michigan, and its leader, Ron Paul, a Texas physician who served in Congress as a Republican repre- sentative for eight years, is on the ballot as a presidential candidate in 46 states.
