The right to vote is something which all American
citizens should hold dear. With the Michigan
Primary today, everyone should take part in the
democratic process.
It's deja vu all over again for the filmgoer taking in
American Me. The film takes tired actors, tired
plot lines, and tired dialogue to form a movie
which could best be described as...
With the hockey and basketball teams entering

a message

Today's primary is a chance for people in Michigan
to say they want their jobs back, as well as their envi-
ronment and universities, Democratic Presidential
hopeful Jerry Brown said in a speech last nighLt.
"People in Washington have lost touch of what has
happened right here in Michigan, the industrial cen-
ter," Brown said to a crowd of more than 1,750 at
Michigan Theater. "This election is about how dedi-
cated the people of Michigan are to keeping their jobs
and how separate people like Tsongas, Clinton, and
Bush are to what is happening here."
Brown stressed the need for a rebirth of American
thinking and the importance of strengthening educa-
tional institutions.
"We can do almost anything. There is not resis-
tance, only stagnation in Washington," Brown said.
"We'll tell (Bush) this country is about life, liberty,
and actually pursuing happiness."
LSA junior Chris Terry said Brown's issue-focused
campaign attracted him to the speech.
"I'm a Buchanan supporter and (Brown's) the only
Democrat I'm willing to listen to because he's not

Michigan Student Assembly candidates met last
night to go over last-minute campaign details and pick
the order they would appear on the ballot.
The Michigan Moose Party will remain on the ballot
although the presidential and vice presidential
candidates resigned last week.
LSA junior Carrie Pittman, election director for
MSA, said she hopes the election runs as smoothly as
last year and outlined strategies MSA is using to
increase voter turnout this year.
"We've really been trying to publicize it," Pittman
said. "One thing we've been trying to do is to have all
the poll site hours covered by making sure there are
enough workers there. This will increase accessibility to
the poll sites and make voting easier for the students."
Pittman also said the decision to overturn the rule
limiting the time candidates can campaign before the
election will also help to publicize MSA more.
"I think it's a really good idea. Two weeks before an

The nine and zero-meal plans
gave more than 2,900 students
roughly $900,000 in Entrde Plus
credit, but also created new prob-
lems for students and food service
-staff in the cafeterias - such as
longer lines and food shortages.
Since 30 percent of the money
given back to students came from
extra raw food costs, the Housing
Division and the Union began week-
end consolidation to offset the other
70 percent, said Larry Durst, Busi-
ness. Manager of Residence
Operations and Student Residences.
One part of the consolidation has
limited the number of residence hall
cafeterias serving meals from Friday
dinner until Sunday lunch.
"By saving that money from
weekend consolidation we were able
to give that money to students who
wanted to eat on Entrde Plus," Durst
said.
But weekend consolidation has
also resulted in longer lines and food
shortages for some residence hall
cafeterias.

service coordinator for Stockwell
Residence Hall, said Friday dinners
