*I Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, March 24, 1992 BULLARD Continued from page 1 two new representatives from Ann Arbor," he said. "At the primary we will see a flowering of talent and en- thusiasm that will be positive." Although many Democrats have expressed an interest in filling one of the Ann Arbor seats, most are reluc- tant declare definite intentions until the Michigan Supreme Court makes a final ruling on districts. However, Briere announced yes- terday that she will run for the state Legislature in November regardless of her district. "I am running for sure," said Briere. "I think it's past time a woman was running for this position." Briere said she heard near the end of last year that Bullard may be leaving his seat. As the chair of the Democratic party, she began to look for candidates to fill his seat, she said. "I realized there was something wrong with me, if I didn't think of myself," she said. "There is a ten- dency among women to be self- effacing." Briere said that at a city party meeting Thursday, Bullard an- nounced he would formally declare his plans March 23. Briere said at that point she decided she would make her declaration the same day. "I would never have run against Perry in a primary," Briere said. Other Democrats expected to run for the House include Bob Alexander, a former aid to Sen. Lana Pollack (D- Ann Arbor), and local attorney Ken Schwartz. "I think it's premature for me to announce my campaign," Schwartz said. "I'm definitely interested in replacing Perry Bullard, but I'm waiting to see what the court does." Briere said she has heard of ap- proximately eight other names but she said, "What Ken said is the same for everyone else. A lot of people will hesitate to commit until they know what their district looks like." At this time, Briere said, Democrats are in competition other democrats." "No with She said that because Bullard was in office for 20 years, people have been speculating for a long time Bullard's eventual departure from the state Legislature. This will yield many candidates, she said. "There will be a primary," Briere said. "But a primary only strength- ens a candidate." Republicans are equally unsure about candidacy, said Ann Arbor City Councilmember Mark Ouimet (R-4th Ward). Ouimet said he might be inter- ested in a legislative seat, depending on the shaping of districts. "I've got to wait and see what they look like," Ouimet said. "If they look the way I've seen them drawn, I'd be very interested." He said he has also heard specu- lation about other candidacies, but said it is still too early to say any- thing firmly. "I would say people are waiting to see what district lines look like," he said. "Once they're redrawn, then you can sit down and put a pencil to paper to see what opportunities you have." Michigan reps defend ri~ght to send free mrail1 DETROIT (AP) - Between rookie lawmakers try- ing to get known and incumbents possibly facing new territories through redistricting, Michigan has four of the top 100 users of the congressional free mailing priv- ilege. Barbara-Rose Collins of Detroit led all of Congress in use of the franking privilege in 1991, according to the National Taxpayers Union. In 1991, Collins, a first-term Democratic representa- tive and former Detroit City Council member, spent $164,872 of taxpayer money to publish and mail newsletters and letters to her constituents, about $1 per address in her district. That exceeded her allowance by more than $22,000. "I make no apology for communicating with those people that I represent," Collins said Monday. "It seems to me that as much interest ought to be exhibited by the media in the substance of my work on economic devel- opment policy, job training and unwaged work." Collins said she would pay for the budget overrun out of her staff budget. The other Michigan congress members in the top 100 were Rep. Bob Traxler, D-Bay City, 90th; Rep. David Camp, R-Midland, 93rd, and Rep. Sander Levin, D-Southfield, 94th. Spokespeople for Camp declined immediate com- ment. A spokesperson for Traxler did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Levin said in a telephone interview that he used the franking privilege to tell constituents of a series of town meetings and for a survey on health issues that he sent to every household in the district. "We were just doing what we've done every year;" Levin said. "Three-fifths of the money used on town meeting notices. We didn't alter it because of redistrict- ing whatsoever. I believe town meetings are a critical part of my work." Levin and Traxler have been mentioned as veteran legislators who may be forced to run against other in- cumbents this fall because Michigan loses two of its 18 congressional seats because of population shifts in the 1980s. * r a M 1 1 i k s yy } 're # t i 1 i d 3 a a .

Clinton virtually has the nomina- tion in hand, with a 7-to-1 lead over Brown in delegates. "It isn't over. Bill Clinton has not been anointed by some Politburo, some secular college of cardinals. The people get to choose," said Brown, talking with city employees in Waterbury. He said Clinton was "the greatest bluffer of all time," acting like the Democratic race was over when most big industrial states have yet to vote. Clinton campaigned aggressively and worried aloud that the percep- tion that he has the nomination locked up would keep his supporters from turning out to vote, giving Brown a strong showing. "I think it's a real possibility be- tween people saying, 'I don't want this to be over' and low voter turnout," Clinton said. President Bush and Patrick Buchanan are on the GOP ballot in Connecticut, but Buchanan has made little effort there. Bush con- ducted election-eve satellite inter- views with Connecticut television stations. In the interviews, Bush defended his call for cutting two Seawolf submarines from the budget and ac- cused his opponents of playing "the oldest, most crass political game in the world" by promising defense cuts everywhere but at the plant gates. Ann Arbor in springtime rnv mncvay Mary Schwartzberg, an Art School senior, finishes cleaning the snow off her car yesterday. There was initially about a foot of snow on top of her car. Mary had to call in reinforcements, namely her boyfriend, because she didn't think she could do the job herself. APATHY Continued from Page 1 said LSA junior Jennie Ladd. Raul Medina, a graduate student in the School of Public Health, said although he always votes, he feels MSA is not a pro-active body. "I always vote so I guess it's a trend, but I don't know how much difference it will make. I've been here for years and things have stayed pretty much the same," Medina said. Many students said they are not going to vote because they do not know the election date and are unin- formed about the issues and candidates. Engineering junior Shari Hausbeck said she has voted in the past, but will not be voting this year because there is not much informa- tion reaching North Campus. "I don't feel I have enough in- formation. I used to vote when I lived in the dorms and there was a little more information, but there is- n't much information on North Campus and that's where I am most of the time," Hausbeck said. CRASH Continued from page 1 been de-iced twice, at 8:29 p.m. and at 8:59 p.m., USAir President Seth Scofield said. The plane left the gate a minute later. According to witnesses, the jet had just begun to lift off the runway when it slammed back to the ground, veered sharply to the left and crashed over an embankment. The nose, wing and engine snapped off and the rest of the plane exploded into a fireball and skidded into the water with its top sheared off. Patrick Silver, who watched from his home, said the plane appeared to flip over "three or four times before. it went into the water. ... It lit up the. living room. It was a huge fireball." Inside the fuselage, divers, repeatedly found dead passengers floating head down, still strapped into their floating seats. Some were charred; others appeared to have drowned. A quick evaluation of the cockpit voice recorder yielded no clues, a, federal official said yesterday. } " t t . r Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson GREEKS Wim?! oWi.

But the committee has come un- der increasing criticism for failing to institute significant changes in areas most in need of reform - specifi- cally, the prevalence of sexual as- sault and harassment within the Greek System. "I think the IFC needs the support of all of the houses to accomplish its goals. With all the publicity that's going on right now nationally ... and on campus, people are realizing that (sexual assault) is a much larger issue than we thought," said LSA junior Adrienne Bradley, a member of Chi Omega sorority. "I mean, it's happening to people in our houses and to our friends." Although the IFC proposed to implement a mandatory sexual as- sault awareness dialogue during Greek Week, members of the Greek Week Committee failed to include the event. "I thought the dialogue was a great idea, but they were looking to make Greek Week an enforcement mechanism and I thought it would take away from the spirit of the week," said LSA senior and Greek Week organizer John Miller. "The idea was just dropped." By establishing a resource for the community, IFC members said they hope to go beyond token efforts to combat sexual assault. However, some students said they feel Greek Week is an example of IFC' s lack of action on critical issues. . "The IFC seems to think life is all fun and games, even when it comes to rape. There is nothing more ap- propriate for Greek Week than sex- ual assault awareness," said LSA se- nior Andrew Astley, a member of Sigma Phi fraternity. "This is typical of the IFC. Everything is for show and there is no sincerity or substance," said LSA sophomore Matt Greenburg, also in Sigma Phi. "Three years ago the IFC did not need to be involved. But then the University and Ann Arbor communi- ties got tired of what was going on with noise, alcohol and sexual as- sault," said IFC President Bruce" Namerow. "That was when we de- cided to change our goals from just legislation to providing resources. Now we are hoping people will come to see the IFC as an effective organization." "A lot of the new things they're doing are really good, like the voter registration. It really got more peo- ; ple to vote," said LSA junior and Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity member Scott Merves. "The decisions they've made in the past have been implemented and things have changed. In some cases it has been for the worse, but some have made things better." Attention Graduating Seniors!
