The Democrats gained a handful of new redistricting monopolies Tuesday, most significantly in Florida and Texas, which will gain seven of the 19 House seats likely to shift in 1992 to reflect population shifts of the 1980's. Only Republican Pete Wilson's win in the California gubernatorial race kept a disheartening day for the GOP in the costly, decade-long redis- tricting battle from turning to total disaster. "The greatest area of Democratic victory," was Democratic Party Chair Ron Brown's assessment of the redistricting fight. "Our party is very well posi- tioned not only for 1992 but for the rest of this decade," said Charles Black, chief spokesperson for the Republican National Committee. Black's assessment was based on the GOP's having a voice in redis- tricting for 231 of the 435 congres- sional districts, roughly 65 more than ten years ago. But given the overwhelming re- election rate of incumbents, the true battlegrounds are in the states gain- ing or losing seats, an area where Democrats clearly will have an edge. And for most of the 1980 Republicans said their chances of b coming the House majority an4 making inroads at the state legisla- ture level rested on their success in redistricting battles this year. Overall, Democrats emerged from) Tuesday's vote with redistricting monopolies in 17 states. Re- publicans control the process out- right in just three: New Hampshir Utah and Vermont, none of the major redistricting battlegrounds. Democrats also have an edge of sorts in many of the states whero power is shared because they contrcj or were likely to control 74 of the nation's 99 legislative chambers.

Senate Democratic Leader George Mitchell and House Speaker Thomas Foley, their majorities strengthened in the 102nd Congress, went to work on an agenda for the next two years. Foley said it would include "tax fairness," as well as legislative ini- tiatives for health care and education. Democrats emerged from the elec- tions with a 56-44 majority in t Senate, a gain of one seat. They were adding nine seats to their Hodse majority for a likely edge of 268 167. Their major congressional dis- appointment was GOP Sen. Jesse Helms' bigger-than-expected re-elec- tion in North Carolina.

'I think that it is important for President Bush to have support in Michigan' - Brian Brown, LSA first-year student In the battle for the U.S. Congress seat in Michigan's 2nd dis- trict, Republican incumbent C .l Pursell easily outdistanced Democ* Elmer White and Tisch Independent Paul Jensen. Pursell received over 76,000 votes to White's 43,147. The number of votes Jensen received was unavailable. White expressed little surprise at his defeat. "It's a heavily Republican district," he said, "and they usually receive about 60 percent of the votes. I was somewhat surprised th the student voters weren't involved. LSA first-year student Brian Brown expressed concern at the fail- ure of several Republicans to gain office. "I think that it is important for President Bush to have support in Michigan.

"The main point is, how do we make a safer campus? There are many ways: improved lighting, vol- unteer walking. There is a wide range of ideas the University is try- ing to bring forward," Power said. Power proposes cost-cutting mea- sures for the University as a way to limit rising tuition costs. McFee graduated from the Uni- versity in 1951 with a B.A. in His- tory and now is mayor of Battle Creek. She has served as commis- sioner of both Battle Creek City and Calhoun County. McFee said a code would be "totally inappropriate in a University environment" and said the issue of MTV Continued from page 1 Interim Vice President for Stu- dent Services Mary Ann Swain said R6oCp Worldp Tour Color Printing Color Printing Color Printing Color Printing Big savings on color printing for all clubs, businesses, and organizations. c~~rwQkft I that at the meeting with UAC offi- cials, Union officials, and security officers held before the MTV event, it was made clear that student ID's would be required at the door for en- trance in keeping with the new safety policy. UAC President Sarah Jackson said because student ID's were re- quired when tickets were purchased for the MTV event, ID's were not checked again at the door. Swain said if ID's were not checked at the door then "the plan didn't get carried through... there was a slip-up." Swain said she plans to investigate why ID was not required for entrance. "Plans (to check student ID's at social functions) are consistent for Black Greek events and this one," Swain added. Black student leaders, however, contend that the University uses a double standard in its application of the policy. deputization should continue to b. evaluated and "if it proves unneces- sary... then we will act accordingly." On limiting tuition rises, McFee said the regents should be "inter- facing with the state legislature and the governor constantly to keep tuition down." Power and McFee will assume their positions on the Board in Jan- uary. MSA Vice President Angela Burks said the University is "strongly enforcing the policy on certain groups, especially Black groups." Black Greek Association Presi- dent Glenn Eden said, "The Univer- sity is not enforcing the policy out- side the Black Greek Association or other Black organizations." Another complaint of Black stt- dents is that the cost of holding a social event in a University facility has risen as a result of the increased number of security guards required for an event "What the University is doing is turning the Union into a country club because those who don't have the economic resources, can't us it," Burks said. Burks said if some sort of resoli- tion in this conflict over the safety policy is not arrived at, "this Uni- versity is going to see a BAM III or IV, whichever one we're on." You re invited! TODAY!
