Speakers at last night's meeting
of the Ann Arbor Women's
Political Caucus (AAWPC) called
on women to become involved in
politics and bring women's issues
- such as reproductive choice - to
the forefront of today's political
agenda.
About 50 people attended the in-
augural meeting in the Rackham
East Lecture Room, where several
woman politicians from around the
state spoke.
State Representative Jan Dolan
(R-Farmington Hills), said women
are underrepresented in the state
government. Women hold only two
senate positions and 19 representa-
tive spots, she said.
"We do not represent the break-
down of women in Michigan. I
think it's meetings like this that can
encourage more women to be in-
volved," Dolan said.
Carol Miller, acting chair of the
AAWPC and a graduate student in
the School of Public Health, said,
"We're looking forward to being an
active group in the state of
Michigan - to get women into of-
fice and let the political leaders of
Michigan know what's important
to us."
The Ann Arbor organization, the
state's only local women's caucus,
is a branch of the Michigan
Women's Political Caucus
(MWPC), which is in turn a branch
of the National Women's Political
Caucus, Miller said.
Rosemary Wells, treasurer of
the MWPC, said, "The main pur-
pose of the caucus at the state and
national level is to elect women to
office."
However, Wells added, this is
difficult because women do not have
the same access to money that men
traditionally have had. "Money
talks, and that is the key to every
election."
She said the formation of the
AAWPC was a positive step. "A
caucus at the local level can really
do more intense work than a state-
wide caucus that is spread really
thin."
Marcella Stein, co-chair of the
MWPC, said, "I know here in Ann
Arbor you're going to do well be-
cause you have such a wonderful his-
tory of doing things so well when it
comes to protesting and doing
things political."
Because the meeting fell on the
19th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade
decision, much of last night's talk
centered on the topic of abortion.
Miller said reproductive rights
will be an important issue for the
organization. She added that all the
Women's Political Caucus groups
support only pro-choice candidates.
LSA first-year student Julie
Ballin said after coming to the
meeting that she was ready to join
the group. She said she was im-
pressed that reproductive rights
were given a high priority by the or-
ganization.
"I think it has to be because it's
more than abortion - it's the gov-
ernment telling women what they
can and can't do," she said.
Ann Arbor resident Christian
Arandel was the sole male attendee.
"I think it's important for men
to see what women have to say.
Only women raise the issues because
they pay the consequences. So men
aren't attracted to this kind of meet-
ing because they don't feel it con-
cerns them, but it should," he said.
The next AAWPC meeting will
be Wednesday, Feb 19, at 6:45 p.m.
in the auditorium of the School of
Public Health's building one.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
stage was set Tuesday for an emo-
tional debate involving the United
States, Europe and oil-rich Arab
kingdoms on how to speed food and
medicine to defeated Cold War en-
emies in the shattered Soviet Union.
"It's important that we send
them a message of hope," said Secre-
tary of State James Baker, who will
join President Bush in opening the
two-day foreign minister-level con-
ference yesterday at the State
Department.
Baker has stressed the aid sum-
mit would not be turned into a
pledging contest, with the partici-
pants topping each other with dona-
tions. The administration would be
delighted if the invited guests vol-
unteered sizable contributions, but
coordinating aid is the primary goal.
The administration also wants to
avoid having the modest U.S. pro-
gram, totaling $4.1 billion, become
a target if the 47 participating na-
tions conclude the wintertime food
situation is so dire relief must be
pyramided above existing levels.
.Baker, talking to reporters dur-
ing a picture-taking session with
Portuguese Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Joao de Deus Pinheiro, said
there may be food shortages in some
areas of the 11 former Soviet re-
publics and not in others. "There's
been a certain amount of hoarding
going on," he said.
