SPEECH
Continued from page 1
Brown also discussed economic
issues pertinent to this area, includ-
ing problems within the auto
industry.
"Both Clinton and Tsongas sup-
port giving President Bush
unlimited power to negotiate the
treaty with Mexico to accelerate the
layoffs in the auto companies and
the parts companies in this state,"
Brown said.
Brown explained his proposed
national health care system which
is similar to Canada's. He said that
in Canada people pay $500 less per
capita on health care, the infant
mortality rate is 50 percent lower
than in the U.S. and the life span is
two years longer. "The problem is
not technological, it's political. It's

greed. It's the $300 billion that the
drug companies and the insurance
companies use to buy Congress to
keep it the way it is," Brown said.
In addition to the crowd inside
the Union, Brown gave remarks to
onlookers gathered outside. He em-
phasized the rights of "Hispanics,
women, gays and all people."
Business graduate student
Robert Iorio said he thought Brown
could bring a new attitude to the
national government. "I think he's
the definite change master and can
definitely lead America in change."
"I think Jerry Brown's policies
in many cases are similar to Harkin
and in some cases are better,"
Rackham graduate student Robert
Garisto said. "I think we should
send a message to Washington that
it can't get away with business as
usual."

BROWN
Continued From Page 1
Boston Herald.
"Did you see this? Clinton be-
longs to a country club - what's it
called - the Country Club of Little
Rock, that has 1,000 members and
..." he said, leaving the rest to the
public's imagination. And then af-
ter this interlude, he shifts right
back to the tax issue.
"What it does is that it simplifies
taxes. This tax will collect a lot
more money. And, you see, that's
what I mean. This idea's been
around for 10 years, but it never got
through. Taxes should be con-
structed in the least political way,"
he said. "Make it simple, so you
can figure it out on a postcard."
By now, Brown is moving a
mile a minute - both his words

and his minivan. He turns to an-
other favorite policy - health care.
"The Canadians pay $500 less
per person than we do," he said.
"We're paying 13 percent of our
gross national product, and they're
paying 9 percent.
"In medicine, you're always
dealing with life and death - with
pleasure and pain. But a single
payer will give us the universal
coverage that we so desperately
need. It's the lobbies that are trying
to keep it the way it is now."
And Brown does not seem
daunted by the task of taking the
government back.
"The people in the crowd are
going to help me. We're going to
have a movement," he said. "That's
the way it works."
Then, as the interview drew to a
close, the conversation turned to the
weather.
"You know, with the snow on
the highway, I wonder if we'll
make it to Detroit tonight." And he
added sarcastically, "Maybe we
should take that high-speed train."

BUCHANAN
Continued from page 1
whether he plans to drop out due to
low election returns, Buchanan
said, "In the Buchanan lexicon,
there is no word named 'quit.' We
are going forward because the na-
tional campaign is more than dele-
gates, elections and titles."
Buchanan's national campaign
manager Paul Erickson reiterated
that Super Tuesday was a success.
"If we continue with one-third
of the percent of the vote, we have
won. What we are trying to do is
take a regional campaign from New
Hampshire and take it nationwide,"
he said.

Erickson said Buchanan sup-
porters are looking to defeat
President Bush in Michigan be-
cause Bush has said he places high
priority on the primary.
However, Dorothy Giffel, Bay
County GOP chair, said that Bay
County Republicans are evenly split
between Bush and Buchanan.
"I think it's about 50-50 in Bay
County", she said.
State Rep. Dave Jaye (R-
Macomb County), Buchanan's
Southeast Michigan coordinator,
said he supports Buchanan because
he will get rid of preferential treat-
ments for Blacks, affirmative action
and racial quotas.
"The middle class Macomb

County residents are sick and tired
of foreign aid for Japan, Egypt, the
Philippines, and Israel. They want
America first," Jaye said.
Other conservatives said they
support Buchanan for his commit-
ment to traditional family values,
said Livonia resident and mother
Lin Mills.
However, Buchanan has taken a
less concrete stand on higher edu-
cation.
Mark Stern, canvassing chair for
the University Students for
Buchanan, said Buchanan's general
agenda will help university stu-
dents.

Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton talks to reporters in Little Rock before departing
for Chicago Tuesday afternoon. Clinton was scheduled to spend the night in
Chicago following the Super Tuesday returns.

CAMPAIGN

tallied in Florida, Bush had 67 per-
cent of the Republican vote, to 33
percent for Buchanan.
In returns from 9 percent of Tex-
as' precincts, Bush was gaining 71
percent to 23 percent for Buchanan
and 2 percent for Duke.
Clinton and Tsongas, one ap-

pealing first to the middle class, the
'We are winners
tonight.'
- George Bush
other to upscale suburbanites,
clashed almost exclusively in

Florida, the crown jewel of the bus-
iest night of the primary campaign.
Clinton was gaining 51 percent
of the Democratic vote in Florida,
to 33 percent for Tsongas and 13
percent for Jerry Brown. In Texas,
which offered the biggest delegate
prize of the night, early returns
showed Clinton with 65 percent, to
Tsongas' 19 percent and 6 percent
for Brown.

serve on the board," he said.
Brown added that he thinks stu-
dent-regent communication could be
handled better through the student
government or the vice president for
student affairs.
The MSA student regent advisory
committee will be comprised of the
MSA vice president and six other
students.
"We are planning to go around to
different groups on campus and put
up posters to publicize the commit-
tee," Bartlett said. "We want a di-
verse group."
Bartlett said Vice President for
Student Affairs Maureen Hartford
originally proposed the student re-

gent advisory committee draw all of
its members from MSA. He said,
however, that MSA does not repre-
sent the whole student body.
"We didn't think that MSA was
representative, but Vice President
Hartford wants to increase MSA's
voice with the regents and the ad-
ministration. She thought it would be
good for MSA to make the change,"
he said.
Bartlett said he hopes the com-
mittee will eventually be able to
place one student - with a vote -
on the board.
But LSA sophomore and Black
Student Union member Amy Ellis
said it would be impossible to find
one student to represent the views of
the entire student body to the re-
gents.

"Even if students from all differ-
ent interest groups on campus get
together and try to choose a student
regent, they can't find someone who
is going to be across the board
enough to represent everyone's
views," she said. "Jamie Green, as
the MSA president, is seen as the
speaker of all students, and I don't
think he has all of his constituents in
mind."
Rob Van Houweling, vice chair
of MSA's Student Rights
Commission, said a student regent
would be the only way to ensure that
the regents consistently address stu-
dent concerns.
"The regents should not be fair-
weather friends. They need to take
responsibility for student concerns
and never leave it," he said.

ARRAIGNMENT
Continued from page 1
ficers at the second of two public
hearings called to discuss the trans-
fer of deputization authority from
the Washtenaw County Sheriff to
the regents.
According to City of Ann Arbor
District Court records, both arrests
were made by DPS officer Tim
Shannon. Neloms is accused of as-
saulting Stephany Anderson, be-
lieved to be a University employee,
and Locke is accused of assaulting
DPS Lt. Jim Smiley.
However, some students who
witnessed the event said it wasn't
possible for either Neloms or Locke
to assault anybody, and claimed that
the arrests were an attempt by the
police to scare students.
Rackham student and Coalition
of Students Against Deputization
(CSAD) member Colin Leach ques-
tioned how the police will be able to
find evidence of assault.
Leach said Neloms entered the
Fleming Administration Building
through the door facing Thompson

Street as another person exited. He
said she was wandering around and
on her way out when somebody
grabbed her and an officer hand-
cuffed her.
Locke, according to Leach, was
pushed through an open side door by
the rowdy crowd, and landed on his
back. "The next thing we knew, he
was arrested."
"The really funny part is that they
let the woman in by their own mis-
take and the man was pushed in by
the crowd," Leach said. "We
thought the charge might be tres-
passing, but the police are trying to
send a clear message to dissuade
others from protesting," he said.
MSA Rackham rep. Amy Polk
agreed that the arrests were not jus-
tified. "This was not a glamorous
arrest," she said. "The University is
using the court system to intimidate
students."
Locke and Neloms are being rep-
resented by Washtenaw County
Public Defender Lorin Brown, who
is a former University law student.
The preliminary trial is set for
Tuesday, March 24 at 2 p.m.
