3,000 vote at 'U' polling sites
Precincts report overwhelming support for Democratic candidates
by Jon Casden, Matt Pulliam, and Lee Shufro
Reflecting an image of a liberal
University community, students yes-
terday overwhelmingly voted for
Democratic incumbent candidates
over Republicans.
Polling figures indicate that more
than 3,000 voters participated in the
democratic process at University
polling stations. Most of these vot-
ers were students.
LSA Sophomore Erick Laurila
had strong feelings about voting yes-
terday. "I'm disgusted with voter ap-
athy and I don't want to be part of
it," he said. Laurila expressed sup-
port for candidates with a pro-choice
stand, as well as opposing the depu-
tization of a campus police force.
Engineering first-year student
Brian Ankrapp attempted vote by ab-
sentee ballot in his hometown of
Bloomfield Hills but was unable to
receive one in time. Though many
students utilized their constitution-
ally guaranteed right to vote yester-
day, others elected not to.
"B lanchard has screwed up the
economy, but Engler's an
(expletive). Engler would do a better
job with taxes, and Blanchard is full
of empty promises. However,
Blanchard is pro-choice and Engler is
not," said Joe Guith, an LSA first
year student who chose not to cast
his vote for either candidate. "Both
have their high points, but they're
outweighed by the low," he said.
The anti-incumbency voter sen-
timent expressed in national polls
before the election was also reflected
on campus. LSA senior Erik
Kafarski, who successfully voted by
absentee ballot in Bloomfield Hills
said, "I voted for non-incumbent
Republicans because most of the in-
cumbents haven't done anything I
have liked."
LSA junior Jeff Meyers also ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with current
office holders but felt they were
better choices than their challengers,
"I am not totally satisfied with the
job Levin and Blanchard have done,
but I voted for them because they are
the lesser of two evils."
Some students simply forgot to
vote.
"I'm not registered to vote," said
Randy Daykin, a first-year student in
the School of Music. He continued,
"I don't see the point because I don't
know the issues, and I didn't think
about an absentee ballot."
Engineering sophomore Ted Chau
said he is registered to vote, but
didn't find out in time where the
polling stations were.
Many of those who chose to
vote went one step further and 461I-
unteered to work on the recruiting
staffs of the two major partieps.
t«
While the Republican presence was
not very visible, the College
Democrats had a strong showing.
"It's freezing. If it wasn't for my
friend giving me an extra shirt, I'd
freeze my ass off," said LSA senior
and Democratic volunteer $an
Ruzumna. Ruzumna stood outside "of
the Alice Lloyd residence hall from
9:15 in the morning until 8:30 at
night encouraging passers-by, to
vote. ,

Michigan Democrats hoped to
parlay a strong top-of-the-ticket per-
formance and voter disfavor with
President Bush into their first state
Senate majority since 1984 in yes-
terday's election:
Republicans hold a 20-17 edge in
the Senate and a Democrat was ex-
pected to fill a vacant seat. That put
the Democrats only one seat away
from a 19-19 tie and possible Senate
control on the strength of the lieu-
tenant governor's tie-breaking vote.
Democrats last had the Senate
majority in 1984, after the 1982
election which gave them a 20-18
edge. Following an income tax in-
crease in 1983, voters recalled two
senators, tilting the edge to the
Republicans.
The 110-member Michigan
House was guaranteed to get at least
18 new members in yesterday's elec-
tion.
Republican David Camp was
elected to succeed departing Rep. Bill
Schuette yesterday, and Michigan's
other incumbents were well on their
way to re-election.
Reps. Howard Wolpe (D-
Lansing) and David Bonior (D-
Mount Clemens) won easy victories
despite spirited Republican chal-
lenges.
In the 13th District, Detroit City
Council Member Barbara-Rose
Collins was heavily favored to suc-
ceed retiring Rep. George Crockett
although early, sketchy returns
showed her trailing.
Rep. Carl Pursell (R-Plymouth)
defeated Republican Raymond
Shoulders, of Detroit, the first
District.
With 139 of 364 precincts report-
ing, Pursell had 61 percent of
24,000 votes to 39 percent for
White.
In addition two incumbents on
the Michigan Supreme Court and an
Owosso attorney vying for a spot oar
the Court of Appeals held early leads
last night.
Democrats last had
the Senate majority in
1984. after the 1982
election which gave
them ,a 20-18 edge.
Following an income
tax increase in 1983,
voters recalled two
senators, tilting the
edge to the
Republicans.
With 8 percent of the prepi acts
reporting, Justice Patricia Boyle had
94,892 votes, or 35 percent, and
Justice Michael Cavanagh., hoid
74,749 or 28 percent. Botl~are
Democrats.
Former Republican U.S. S,exgate
candidate Clark Durant had 14, per-
cent of the vote, and former $~anry
County Prosecutor RepublicanfJ idy
Hughes had 13 percent.
In the 2nd District Appeals Court
race, with 7 percent of the vote' in,
E. Thomas Fitzgerald had 60 percent
of the vote, while Linda Hallmark
had 40 percent.
In other races Attorney General
Frank Kelley and and Secretarj, of

strong leads over longsh~ot

night.

favorable," Kelley said,

Berggren agreed that it is unusual

main objective is to change the whole

"Judges schedule many cases at the
