Most universities prevent any campus group from discriminating unfairly. But what if the group happens to be the Department of Defense and its ROTC chapters? Can you imagine being thrown in jail for 10 years just for possessing two joints? That's what happened to John Sinclair, who recently spoke with our Mark Binelli.

Bill Clinton, will address University students today at noon in the Law School's Hutchins Hall. "She's a fantastic speaker. She tends to be particularly well-received in student areas - that was a f factor (in bring- ing her to the University)," said Jonathan Grossman, LSA senior and a member of U of M Clinton for Clinton President Committee. Clinton - who specializes in corporate law - will speak about her views on law and experiences as an attorney, Grossman said. Grossman said the committee brought Clinton to the University in- stead of the presidential candidate due to scheduling conflicts. See CLINTON, Page 2 Labor issues top candidates' Mich. agendas Associated Press Presidential hopefuls yearning for the votes of Michigan's blue- collar workers toured factories yes- terday, promising a stronger econ- omy and job security for nervous workers. Democrat Paul Tsongas got a union jacket and a lukewarm recep- tion when he pitched his idea to do away with strikes to workers at a Detroit auto parts factory. Vice President Dan Quayle told about 1,000 cheering workers at Detroit Diesel Corp. that their turnaround of a plant destined for closure four years ago symbolized the strength of American workers. "I am getting just a little sick and tired about those people from outside our country who tell us the American worker can't get the job done," Quayle said. "You're. out there every day doing the job and do- ing it well." Democrat Jerry Brown cam- paigned in Detroit and Democrat Bill Clinton spoke at a town meet- ing in Warren as the candidates fo- cused their attention on the indus- trial Midwest before Tuesday's contests in Michigan and Illinois. Republican Patrick Buchanan also campaigned in Michigan in hopes of appealing to the General Motors workers that are being laid off. He focused his attention on Michigan because its traditionally automobile-based economy is in deep trouble and the law permits independents and Democrats to vote in the Republican primary. "When you get up in the morn- ing, you don't read about 74,000 General Motors workers being laid off, you read about President Buchanan laying off 75,000 more bureaucrats and regulators so you can get the economy going," Buchanan promised when he spoke at Lansing Community College. He is hoping to strike fire with voters in Michigan, where the un- employment rate is 9.6 percent.

But the bill has to pass the hurdles of the Senate Appropriations Committee and state legislatures before it will provide tangible re- sults. The bill, passed by the Senate Feb. 21, outlines a seven-year plan reauthorizing fed- eral financial aid to college students. It will provide students with $15.7 billion in aid in the form of Pell Grants and Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) in its first year. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) and Sen.

He supports equal rights for all races and religions, but does not favor the use of quotas as the preferred method of achieving that goal. Bush has made several minority appointments during his presidency, most notably the appointment last fall of Judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme court. Bill Clinton: Clinton's civil rights policy is based on the idea of providing equal access to education, economic opportunity, and health care for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Clinton emphasizes his record as Arkansas governor as evidence of his commitment to civil rights, including appointments of minorities to staff positions and state boards, and actions designed to improve the status of minority businesses in the state. David Duke: Duke's platform calls for equal rights and opportunity for all Americans. To accomplish this, he plans to eliminate all Affirmative Action practices. He is staunchly opposed to the creation of any kind of legislation that would create quotas for hiring or anything else.

"We want to make sure the economic ne- cessity is not a barrier to pursuing a higher education," said Bill Bryant, press secretary for Pell. The reauthorization act targets middle-in- come families. Its qualification procedure now eliminates home and farm equity for families that make less than $50,000. Before the act's passage, this criteria prevented many middle-class students from receiving financial aid, a Pell spokesperson said. If the act goes into effect in 1993, the maximum amount of aid a student could re- ceive would increase from $2,400 to $3,600 for Pell Grants and $2,500 to $3,700 for GSLs. However, because the reauthorization act has eliminated the entitlement provision that automatically provided financial aid in the past, all increased funds for Pell Grants and GSLs will have to be approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Tom Butts, executive director of the University's govern- ment relations office in Washington, D.C. "There is no guarantee that the funding Pell Grants increased from $1,800 to $2,400, he said. "The idea of funds increasing from $2,400 to $3,600 is a pretty big leap," he added. Still, Butts said he is pleased the Senate Bill has proposed improving and extending federal financial aid programs. A Senate Appropriations Committee Spokersperson said the United State's $450 billion national debt has made it difficult to maintain current funding levels. "Appropriations almost never meet ex- pected levels ... It looks like the ceilings will not let us even keep up with inflation," said a Senate Appropriations Committee spokesper- son.
