Too often MSA elections slip by the student body because of a general disinterestin MSA. It is importantnot to let election day slip by. MSA should function as a bridge between students and the administration. It serves to represent the students' voice in the bu- reaucratic University red tape. Student participa- tion in MSA elections will insure that MSA better speaks for students. The choices in this year's election are to vote for the Conservative Coalition (CC), the Progressive Party, Independent candidates, ora combination of all of the above. In past elections, voters generally tended to support an entire bloc of candidates from a single party. There are two problems in voting this way. First, one is voting for a lot of bureaucracy. Parties tend to regurgitate debate amongst them- selves and get caught up in their own.agenda. After a while, they tend to lose sight of the students they should be representing. Second, if one votes for an entire party, it becomes hard to identify where each 'individual stands on a particularissue. It is essential. to identify each individual's views in order to hold the individual personally accountable for positions taken. The need to vote on individual candidates has been proven by both the CC and the Progressive Party's preoccupation with fulfilling their own agendas. For three consecutive weeks this term, the CC-led assembly had not met quorum. In order to have quorum, more than half of the assembly members must be present. Without quorum, the assembly cannotvote on any issue, thereby stalling decision-making for weeks. Both CC and the Progressives are responsible for this apathy. Each representative who failed to show up for the mectings seemed to be led by the idea that their party affiliations outweighed individual responsi- bilities. Both parties claim that student rights are the most important issue MSA addresses. However, both parties demonstrated a lack of commitment to students' rights by not participating in most Stu- dent Rights Commission (SRC) meetings. Where should students go to register their grievances? Who is responsible at MSA? Currently, the only place to lay blame is on a political party, rather than with the actual individuals who can effect change. As far as CC is concerned, there is something severely wrong with a body designed to represent students stating its greatest claim to fame is that it has a good relationship with the administration. MSA should represent the students' views to the administration not the administration's views to the students. MSA should be made upof individuals who will genuinely represent the interests of stu- dents. In order to fulfill this, representatives from CC and some representatives from the Progressive Party need to be on the assembly. In fact, there are many individuals in the Progressive Party who are worth taking note of. What is most important is to elect a leader who can mediate the opinions rep- resented in MSA; someone who can lead MSA to reach compromises between the differing opinions of students and students and not between the dif- fering opinions of students and administration. An Independent candidate who has shown a real concern for student's rights and an ability to see many different student perspectives is Robert Van Houweling. Van Houweling is currently the Vice- chair of the SRC. His goals are not motivated by a party line or by any political dogma. Van Houweling seemed sincere in seeking to give MSA back to the students by making it ac- countable to student needs. He supports giving students a choice in many key issues, like the MSA commissions, by deciding the issues through ref- erenda. Van Houweling, as an Independent, is easy to hold accountable for his ideas. In addition, because of his desire to have MSA be accountable to all students, not just to one specific agenda, Van Houweling will be more likely to find a way for everyone to get a little of what they want instead of only some people getting all of what they want. 141141 lint I r_. ..411.:i'}:1' ". .11.1 :"M:{'Jl. 1y r.4."}..

More equivalency To the Daily: Thomas Renau's letter in the Daily on Tuesday (11/5/91) is a prime example of the new sickening trend of moral equiva- lency. One example of this trend was Saddam's justification of his rape and pillage of Kuwait, where he attempted to equate his act of aggression with Israel's occupa- tion of territory it captured in its own defense. In general, it occurs whenever someone judges two unrelated events as if they were on the same moral plane. Moral equivalency compares apples and oranges. In the case of Renau's letter, it is more like comparing watermel- ons and kamquats. He apparently found the annual birthday card to Israel, which is a full-page letter in the Daily sponsored by Tagar each April signed by hundreds of students, faculty and members of congress, as upsetting as Bradley Smith's vitriolic anti-Semitic Holocaust revisionism. First of all, the annual happy birthday to Israel expresses the pride and love deeply felt by Zionists for the Jewish state. Our ad enumerates the physical challenges successfully overcome by the fledgling state. The only feeling that comes to mind is wonderment when I read about how the pioneers of Israel took a neglected strip of rocky, barren, swampy, mosquito infested land and turned it into the homeland for millions of dispossessed Jews. Perhaps the letter writer's ire was raised at the way last year's card publicized the agricultural assistance lent by the resource strapped state of Israel to several Black African nations. Maybe Renau was ticked off to learn that Israel has rescued 15,000 Ethio- pian Jews from starvation and religious persecution. I think that he was most offended because our card to Israel reminded him once again that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. By a specious claim of moral equivalency, Rcnau has for the first time raised the frightful possibility of suppression of free speech.What is most depressing is that he didn't have the guts or the motivation to challenge the ideas that he disagreed with, which is the democratic custom. Jonathan Margolin co-chair, Tagar Bad review To the Daily: I am writing in response to the narrow minded preview of the Dan Fogelberg concert that took place last week at Hill. The author described Fogelberg's tour as "has-been" and contrasted it with the MTV success of Don Henley (who is a great musician). The author implied, not in a subtle fashion, that a musician's talent and success can only be judged by video popularity and hitting the Top Forty. It saddens me to think that one's musical taste can be so limited as to only include music Casey Kasem approves of as successful. Do musicians actually rate their own talent by their ability to create an over-budgeted video? Fogelberg provided his listeners with a wonderful concert consisting of his voice, an acoustic guitar, and a piano; his music is beautiful and can be appreciated by all. There are so many different and wonderful musicians out there today; do not dismiss them if they do not reach the charts or you may miss out on some great talent. Jodi Abramson LSA senior Follow the rules To the Daily: In response to Dave Corbett's letter on Nov. 8, 1991: Yes, the Michigan Credo does state that "(The University) is a community designed to foster freedom of thought and unconventional, even uncomfortable opinions."But what Mr. Corbett does not cite is The Housing Policy and Proce- dures on Discrimination and Discriminatory Conduct, which states "physical acts or hreats or verbal slurs, invectives or epithets, referring to an individual's or a group's race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, creed, national origin, ancestry, age or handicap, made with the purpose of injuring the person or groups to whom the words or actions are directed.... are prohibited when they occur within the residence halls. Intent to injure may be inferred from examining all the surrounding facts and circumstances." Corbett also declined to mention that his sign, "AIDS: Anal Inflicted Death Sentence" was posted right next to another sign that read, "Speak English or Die." One can easily imagine how a gay resident or a foreign resident may feel as they passCorbett's door. Corbett, and all others who chose to live in the residence halls, need to remember that living here is a PRIVELEGE, not a RIGHT. He, like everyone else, signed a lease in which he agreed to uphold the University's standards for that safe and harassment-free environment. If a student with ingnorant and bigoted thoughts such as Corbett is "ashamed to attend school here," I am confident that no one will beg them to stay upon their exit. Timothy Madion resident director, WOBN Wh ite wash Warren Commission sweeps students' rights under rug An Investigation by a Subcommission of the Student Rights' Commission of the Michi- gan Student Assembly on the South University Teargassing Incident of Sept. 14, 1991." So read the cover page of the impressively official report released by the Student Rights' Commission (SRC) on Nov. 12. Obviously the SRC, chaired by Michael Warren, has failed to comprehend its basic responsibilities to the University's student body. The SRC's "Warren Commission" did a won- derful job in creating a rapport with the University administration and the police force. Portions of the commission's report even went so far as to defend police actions. "The first sweep was justified...," proclaimed the report. But it was during this critical "first sweep" that more than 13 police officers formed a line and approached the crowd, presumably to disperse them. This action served only to anger the boister- ous crowd, and, to a large extent, contributed to the melee that followed. A minority of the commission - a commission which is supposed to coordinate and act upon the interests of the student body - stated that the behavior of the students was shame- ful. Michael Warren said, "The officers' use of tear gas was a reasonable measure to protect the safety Df themselves, the crowd and property." Thanks for your support, Mike. The SRC's mission is implicit in its title, to protect "students' rights." Any efforts, ranging from protests to community forums to negotiations With University and Ann Arbor officials would have been helpful. But the Warren Commission pas offered only a weak, muffled and overdue response. At least the activities of the SRC during last year's deputization controversy, circus-like as they sometimes were, better voiced student concerns. Its only shortcoming was its determination to pro- test without properly following up with negotia- tions and compromise to achieve their goals. By contrast, this year's SRC has been too willing to settle for meetings and memos, and adverse to mobilizing a student body violated and angered by the South University gassing incident. Moreover, the commission's report is dated Nov. 12 - 59 days after the tear-gassing incident took place. Why did it take the Warren Commis- sion so long to produce this non-reaction? Most students could probably produce such a non-reac- tion in a matter of minutes. It took the Warren Commission two months. The word "investigation" has traditionally been the administration's euphemism for: "We really don't wantto do anything about this situation, so sit tight. We'll have something in print soon enough." Michael Warren has made himself a tool of the administration by subjecting students to the same type of rhetoric. Next time the students' rights are threatened, we may as well turn to the administration. We may get more support from them than from the SRC. Band misses out - again s aturday, as the Wolverines clinched their third outright Big Ten title in four years and earned the ever-important Rose Bowl invita- tion, an integral part of Michigan football was missing - the band. The 225 members of Michigan's high- stepping ensemble were forced, like many other students, to watch the Wolverines battle the Illinois Fighting Illini from their living room couches. And those Michigan fans who ventured to Champaign to see the game in person were left to cheer, "Let's Go Blue" without the familiar musical accompaniment. The absence of a rousing chorus of "The Victors" after key plays was also painfully obvious. Admittedly, the band isn't able to make it to every away game; Minnesota, Boston College and Iowa were understandably left off this year's itinerary because of budgetary restraints. But to miss such an important contest as the Illinois game was inexcusable. The band, the team, and the die-hard Michigan fans who support both deserve better. Hopefully, the Athletic Department, the Alumni Club and the band itself will take this into consideration in the future. 0 ":n " VNt YYY Y.YJA" -M"n ". :LY: nY,".ty : '~YRV:,V -x ".

Magic Johnson and Anita Hi'll What do Magic Johnson and Anita Hill have in common? First, they both have shown exemplary integrity in deciding to disclose a personal trauma in the service of the common good. Each has brought long over- due atten- tion to a se- rious prob- lem. The is- sues onb which they have spo- Pattrice ken out are both fre- Maurer q u e n t Ily veiled in secrecy; few have had the courage to break the silence imposed by the blaming and shaming to which per- sons with HIV and survivors of sexual harassment are subjected. Hill and Johnson are both Afri- can-American. Women of color are more likely to be sexually assaulted and, as Anita Hill's experience has prevalent in communities of color and make it harder for people of color to live with AIDS. While people of color make up the major- ity of new AIDS cases and over 90 percent of the children with AIDS, the government dedicates only 6 percent of AIDS education money to "minorities." This is genocide. A less obvious similarity be- tween Hill and Johnson is that both have drawn attention to a problem of great importance to women. We all know that women are most fre- quently victimized by sexual ha- rassment and sexual assault and that these abuses spring from sexism. Few of us, however, are alert enough to the issues regarding women and AIDS to know that, when it comes to AIDS, sexism=death. Women are the fastest growing group of people with AIDS in the United States. Women with AIDS die five times faster than men with AIDS, living an average of only 15.5 weeks after diagnosis. This is a result of discrimination, which table vaginal infections - are not counted towards an AIDS diagno- sis. As a result, most women with AIDS arc diagnosed very late in the syndrome's progression or after death and cannot qualify for the (few) governmental benefits avail- able to them. This is gynocide. Even though a pregnant woman with the HIV virus has only a 20 to 30 percent chance of transmitting the virus to her fetus, HIV-positive women are often pressured to abort and to have themselves sterilized. The common medical attitude which equates women with wombshas led researchers to exclude women from studies of AIDS treatments. This traditional practice limits women's access to treatment and limits gen- eral knowledge about AIDS. At home, traditional sex roles and the prevalence of violence kill women. Many women dare not de-. mand condom use for fearofrape or battery. Women with AIDS in the traditional role of primary caregiver often place the care of their partners and children before their own needs. Nuts and Bolts , t CIRCus IS COMING -M TOW4N.
