A Page 2--The Michigan Daily- Friday, March 27, 1992 DEBATE Continued from page 1 the actions made by council during her term. She pointed out while the Republicans rant about a 10 perecent salary increase, the difference amounts to an $800 addition to an annual $8,000 income. Peter Nicolas, the 4th Ward Democrat vying for a council seat said he would like to see more pro- ductive suggestions from candidates - referring to mainly to Mogdis, his Republican opponent - and fewer complaints. "Any of us can complain," he said. "However, complaining with- out attempting to provide clear solu- tions or positions is irresponsible and inappropriate and does not pro- vide voters with any indication of how you serve them on council." "People want to meet individuals and listen to their ideas and they are tired of the partisan politics which you continue to advocate," said Nicolas to Mogdis. The 1st Ward candidates ad- dressed the lack of parking in the campus areas. Incumbent Larry Hunter said he hopes to introduce city-wide . _ - - __ residential parking permits similar to ones already instituted in the 1st Ward. His opponent, Howard King, suggested working with the University and students to find alter- natives to car transportation such as the increased use of bicycles, and the possible use of shuttle busses to satelite parking areas. "This is a real opportunity to strengthen relationships with the University," King said. "I think you alter people's behavior by involving them in the problem solving ... Everyone involved ought to be in- volved in creating the solution." Candidates from the 3rd Ward also discussed student-related issues. Joe O'Neal, the Republican can- didate from the 3rd Ward said he would like to join the recently- formed committte of the City Planning Commission tosdiscuss special exception ordinances. All fraternites, sororities and co- ops need to obtain special exception permits before making changes to their houses or moving into a new house. O'Neal said he would like to work toward "developing harmony" between the Greek organizations and their surrounding neighborhoods. "Both of these are here to stay," he said. "And both deserve to know how to respect things in the future." In response to a question about city-student relationships, both 3rd Ward candidates, present at the de- bate said they felt relations with the students have been strong. "I think city-student relationships have not deteriorated other than in the aftermath of the South University incident," said incumbent 3rd Ward candidate Bob Grady. "That particular incident was a func- tion of the University's failure to provide appropriate opportunities for students on the campus." O'Neal agreed city-student rela- tions have not deteriorated. "As long as you have a large university in a city the size of Ann Arbor, there will be areas of friction," he said. "But one must be able to handle those and I do not see a serious problem in this regard." "It was a vigorous, spirited de- bate," said incumbent Larry Hunter (D-1st Ward). "I had my first oppor- tunity to answer many of the distor- tions that have issued in this cam- paign." E-mail message calls on students to oust CC in assembly elections i by Jennifer Silverberg Daily MSA Reporter Rackham graduate student Todd Shaw sent an electronic mail mes- sage to hundreds of students Wednesday urging them to vote against Conservative Coalition (CC) candidates in next week's Michigan Student Assembly elec- tions. The message was sent in re- sponse to a fight at Tuesday's meet- ing between LSA Rep. Bill Lowry and Max Weintraub, a constituent attending the meeting. The message - sent to the Black Student Network, Students of Color Of Rackham (SCOR), the Latino Network and the Asian American Association - compared the Conservative Coalition to "Hitler Youth" and stated the sexist and racist attitudes of CC came to a climax Tuesday night. Shaw, who wasn't present at Tuesday's meeting and only heard second-hand accounts of the event, could not be reached for comment. CC members said they were upset by the message. "I'm outraged by the message. It is obvious that our opponents don't feel they can win the MSA election on substance. It was a complete work of hateful fiction," said MSA President James Green. "I have rel- atives who died in Nazi Germany and to equate CC with the Nazis is a very hurtful thing." SCOR co-chair Colin Leach, who received Shaw's message but wasn't present at Tuesday's meet- ing either, said, "I thought it was justifiably angry and frustrated. "It was a strong message to all organizations that specifically have people of color.... This was just one recent incident that was very blatant. This is an example of what goes on. In light of that, we need to go out and get involved." . "s ; a S a a a a NORML Continued from page 1 denied on the basis of failure to abide by guidelines for Diag use," she said. "The decision was content- neutral. It was in no way an effort to silence what NORML has to say." Alfaro-Lopez said NORML ex- tended the use of amplification for last year's Hash Bash well beyond the allotted one hour. "Clearly the loud, disruptive noise caused by the up to 10,000 people on the Diag disrupted the ed- ucational mission of the University for the students trying to study in the libraries and other buildings near the Diag," she said. "The University is under a legal obligation to take action when we know that there is illegal substance use going on our campus," she added. Shelton questioned the University's refusal of the permit. "How do you think that not issu- ing a loudspeaker permit would pre- vent drug use?" he asked. "If you are allowed to deny permission to plug in speakers and people come to the Diag and do whatever it is that you don't like, what are you going to do?" Alfaro-Lopez called upon Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs Mary Ann Swain -- who made the decision to ban NORML from using the Diag - and Department of Public Safety Director Leo Heatley to testify on behalf of the University. Heatley said police stayed on the perimeter of the crowd because they feared direct confrontation could lead to violence or rioting. "We can- not arrest three or four hundred peo- ple in a crowd of 7000. Two years ago law enforcement officers were injured while trying to make arrests." Swain, who was at Hash Bash for an hour in the early afternoon, and returned later in the day, described the atmosphere as "a big party." PRETRIAL Continued from page 1 received a call that the meeting was canceled. Washington and De Roo agreed that the anonymous phone call can- celing the meeting might be con- nected to next week's elections. "Because of the timing of this event I think it could be related to the upcoming elections," Washington said. "One of these parties wants the fee limit and one does not. This is speculation but it seems to me that if your party wanted the fee cap on the ballot, then not laving this meeting worked in their favor. Now there can be no tampering with the amendment before the elections." De Roo agreed there might be a link between the cancellation of the meeting and the elections. "Purely speculatively, I think someone who did not want this case to go forward prevented it from go- ing forward," De Roo said. "All those strongly in favor of it, the Conservative Coalition and the Moose Party, would suffer. They made this a cornerstone of their platforms to get this amendment." MSA President James Green doubted any connection between ballot amendment creating a student vote to determine if there should be a cap on the MSA fee at the current level of $6.27. Washington said De Roo's com- plaint is that temporary statements belong at the end of the MSA con- stitution not as part of the amend- 'They are trying to get this thrown out on an absurd technicality.' - Brian Kight Engineering representative the canceled meeting and the elec- tions. "I find it highly unlikely that anyone from Conservative Coalition would have any involve- ment in calling justices," Green said. "I think that's a ridiculous charge." De Roo's pretrial hearing con- cerns the legality of the upcoming ment itself. This amendment will only be adopted once, making it a temporary statement and violating the constitution. Kight, who wrote the fee cap amendment, disagreed. "They are trying to get this thrown out on an absurd technicality," Kight said.

She added there was a visible dif- ference in the air near a smoke eater currently in the billiard room and the rest of the room. Carpenter said, ''I think if we can get another couple of smoke eaters, it'd pull out a lot of excessive smoke." The changes follow two informal polls taken on student attitudes con- cerning smoking in the Union and an earlier decision by the board to re- frain from making smoking policy adjustments. A majority of respondents to the second poll - taken earlier this month - said that they would like smoking prohibited from the MUG, but only 38.3 percent claimed to want smoking banned from the whole Union. The board also discussed making the following conditions to the alco- hol policy, but after discussion the. proposal was sent back to committee: Requiring all guests be 21 years of age or accompanied by a parent or guardian at all catered events hosting a student group and serving alcohol; Mandating that food of a sub- stantial nature is served at all such events; Placing time limits - maybe two hours - on the bar service and closing the bar a half-hour to an hour before the event's close. These guidelines follow the 1991 University Task Force recommenda- tions pertaining to alcohol and other drugs. But many board members were opposed to the idea of requiring only student groups to meet these guidelines. MUBR member John DeSue said he believed the distinction was mo- tivated by financial concerns since private groups pay more for Union facilities. He added he believes the proposal does not adhere to the poli- cy's intent to create a safer environment. "My major problem with this is that we're distinguishing between student and non-student groups. I think it's a money issue," he said. "That's a terrible message to send." UAC President Joe Merendino said the increased cost stemming from heftier food requirements is detrimental for student groups. Other board members empha- sized that the policy should keep in mind that the University faces liabil- ities if underage drinking occurs. But DeSue added he was con- cerned about a possible increase in the number of students who would. go to Ypsilanti to drink and drive home as a result of the proposed policy. He said, "We are ... slamming the door on all student organizations that have members over 21 who can drink and want to be around their under 21 friends who can't drink." 0 0 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
