Though two nationally-recog-
nized candidates kicked off their
campus campaigns last night, only
-one showed promise for real sup-
port.
Campus groups supporting Re-
publican candidate Pat Buchanan and
insurgent Democrat Jerry Brown
both held their inaugural meetings,
but while the Students for Buchanan
had nearly 30 supporters present,
the Brown campaign attracted only
four.
Students for Buchanan organizer
Ron Kennedy, an LSA junior, was
impressed with the turnout.
"I'm very pleased," said
Kennedy, adding that he hoped more
conservative students will stand up
for their ideals, instead of maintain-
ing their loyalty to President Bush.
"There are those who say that we
are weakening Bush and the Repub-

ing students to New Hampshire to
help out there, Students for '
Buchanan is trying to ensure a large
conservative turnout in Michigan's
March 17 presidential primary.
Despite the small number pre-
sent, those who did attend the

'Jerry Brown can see
the problems at their
bases, and he is bold
enough to try to make
the changes
necessary.'
-James Barta
LSA senior
Brown meeting were enthusiastic
about the Democrat's message.
"The trends in our society are
pretty disturbing," said Ann Arbor
resident and group organizer Bill
Krebaum. "He's the one candidate
who has a good grasp on ecological
issues.
Krebaum said his number one
reason for supporting Brown is his
hope that he will return to "grass
roots democracy" and make some
structural changes in the democratic
process.
"Jerry Brown can see the prob-
lems at their bases, and he is bold
enough to try to make the changes
necessary," LSA senior James Barta
said. "Here's Jerry Brown, someone
who's been inside the system and can
see how corrupt and disgusting it
is."
Even though Brown's supporters
like his platform, they disagree
with the negative tone they say he
has used to circulate his message.
"Some of my friends said they
liked the message, but not the mes-
senger," Barta said.

The Michigan Student Assembly
Academic Affairs Commission held
its first official meeting amid intra-
commission squabbling Tuesday to
discuss the issue of a 24-hour
library.
The commission plans to start a
petition drive next week to get stu-
dent support for the establishment
of a 24-hour study facility on cen-
tral campus. Commission members
will be collecting signatures in the
fishbowl, on the Diag, and from
Greek houses.
"This will be the first immedi-
ate thing that's symbolic to the ad-
ministration - that this has broad
student support," said LSA Rep. and
Commission Chair Jeff Muir.
The commission is also working
in conjunction with other major
campus student governments to ex-
amine how to fund the 24-hour
facility.
"We're not asking for a fully
operational library but we want a
secure, well-lit area that people can
go to like the first floor of the
UGLi," Muir said.
The commission plans to call
students at other Big Ten schools
who have operational 24-hour study
centers to discuss operational
procedures.
Muir said he would like to see
expansion of existing facilities by
finals at the end of this semester and
full plans begin next year.
The commission also plans to set
up appointments with various ad-
ministrators to explain its goals
and expected timeline of events.
"Students will see immediately
that this is something the assembly
is taking seriously," Muir said.
"It's a non-partisan effort. There are
no dividing lines."
The commission also plans to in-
vestigate many departments' choice
to offer three-credit classes instead
of four-credit classes to upper-level
students.
"We want to know the reasons
behind the change because it affects
students getting credit and it costs a
lot more over the long haul," Muir
said. "We need to have course offer-
ings that meet the needs of
students."
Muir and Rackham Rep. Amy

Polk, commission vice chair and
former commission chair, have pub-
licly disagreed on major assembly
issues in the past. Muir specified
disagreements over the Ann Arbor
Tenants Union budget reform, but
Muir said the disagreements would
not affect the commission's work.
Muir wrote an article concerning
Polk in yesterday's Michigan Re-
view titled "Is Amy Polk as Dumb
as She Looks?", saying that "the
woman is missing a few screws."
Muir said the article was unre-
lated to issues affecting the
Acadmic Affairs Commission.
"Out of that adversarial rela-
tionship, she took some pretty nasty

public swipes at me - specifically
accusing me of ethical violations,"
Muir said. "If she dishes it out, she
. ought to be willing to take it."
Polk said that she was upset by
the article and that she did not know
how it was going to affect
commission work.
"I find a lot of things in Jeff to
respect, but the fact that he would
pull something so sophomoric and
unprofessional makes it hard for me
to find something to respect in
Jeff," she said.
Muir insisted that the article
would in no way affect his working
relationship with Polk on the
commission.
"We're both public figures in
the University df Michigan student
community and in the press she's go-
ing to do and say what will best
help her cause and I'm going to do
what will best help my cause,"
Muir said.
"We both agree that the goals
the commission has our good goals
so there's no reason we can't work
together," he added.

said. "You've damaged this party
more than any percentage in New
Hampshire could ever do.
"It's time to put America first,"
Kennedy said. He also skid the en-
ergy put into fighting communism
for so long should be rechanneled
:into domestic issues. "We've won
the cold war."
The group plans to go door to
door in order to drum up support
for the Buchanan campaign, which
Kennedy admits is being run "on a
shoestring budget." Unlike some
Democratic campaigns that are bus-

'THE LIST
a What's happening in Ann Arbor today

in Tyson
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A1
mostly white, mostly male jury1
was seated yesterday for the trial of
former heavyweight boxing champl
Mike Tyson on charges of raping a
Black beauty pageant contestant.
Three alternate jurors also weref
chosen after attorneys and the judge1
agreed that would be enough, rather{
than four. Court was then closed for
the day while attorneys argued mo-
tions before the judge in chambers.
Opening statements in the trialt
were expected today.<
Tyson, 25, is charged with rape,
criminal deviate conduct and con-{
finement. If convicted, he could bel
sentenced to 63 years in prison.
The jurors range from ages 21 to
55, with most in their 30s. Four aret
women, three are black. Most aret
married blue-collar workers.
Race had become a source of dis-
pute in the trial, with the defense
complaining that the jury pool did
not represent the racial make-up of

heari ng
Marion County, which is 21 percent
black.
Marion Superior Court Judge
Patricia Gifford considered a de-
fense motion yesterday to suppress a
videotape of a Tyson news confer-
ence in September. The tape, made by
local WISH-TV but not yet broad-
cast, allegedly caught Tyson making
disparaging remarks about his
accuser.
The prosecution later agreed not
to use the talie, said Dan Byron, the
station's attorney. Byron said prose-
cutors offered no reason for the de-
cision, but WISH newsman Neal
Moore said the sound quality was
poor.
The judge denied a defense mo-
tion to prevent the jury form seeing
the clothing Tyson's accuser was
wearing. Defense attorneys argued
that her outfit was tampered with .
Gifford also denied a defense
motion to tell the jury the accuser's
sexual history.

Alleged stabber to face trial-

by Lauren Dermer
Daily Crime Reporter
After a preliminary hearing yes-
terday, Perry Lee Shepard, the man
arrested for the Jan. 12 stabbing
outside of the Michigan Union, will
go to trial.
Shepard, a homeless man, was ar-
rested for stabbing another Ann
Arbor homeless man, Thomas
White, in the stomach. White and
three other witnesses were present
during yesterday's hearing.
Shepard was accused of assault
with the intent to murder, but the
case has been moved to the Washte-
naw County Circuit Court with a
lesser charge.
The offense has also been
lowered to assault with the intent
to do great bodily harm because of
evidence provided by prosecutors.
The Ann Arbor Police Depart-

ment was pursuing the possibility
of a connection between the stab-
bing and a slaying at Westgate mall
that also involved a homeless man.
However, Ann Arbor Detective
Nick Schubring said investigations
have not shown any apparent
connections.
Shepard, represented by Public
Defender Ruth Vernet, is being held
in Washtenaw County Jail until
further order of the court or until
his bond of $5000 is posted.
The arraignment is scheduled for
Feb. 4 at the 22nd Circuit Court.

Tom Hayden, catalyst for stu-
dent activism and California state.
assembly member, will deliver the
closing address for the 1992 Neil
Staebler Symposium in Rackham
Hall at 5 p.m., Jan. 31.
University alumnus Hayden was
specifically chosen to be a key
speaker at the symposium,
"Definitions Of Democracy: The
Democratic Ideal In Public Policy,"
as a result of his long history as a
political activist.
A founder of Student Demo-
cratic Society, which drafted its
constitution in Port Huron, Hayden
was also one of the Chicago 7 during
the '68 riots. He is the president of
the Center for Economic

Denocracy.
Press release information indi-
cated that lecturers and panelists
will focus on "defining and finding
creative and practical applications
of the democratic ideal in public
policy" during symposium
seminars.
Although Hayden was origi-
nally scheduled to deliver the open-
ing address, International director
for the Interns for Peace Bruce Co-
hen, will now speak at 1 p.m. today.
Hayden's speech was postponed
due to his political activity in many
California bills up for vote. He is
the main force fighting to save the
Redwoods, one of the bills up for
vote.
