Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Wednesday, April 1, 1992 Court ends control of racial balance Ann Arbor voting wards rse lnn 1I - - - L-L..-.1.-~ WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court said yesterday racial integration of public schools may be achieved piece by piece, making it easier for federal judges to stop su- pervising broad desegregation efforts. The 8-0 decision permits an end to federal court supervision over sfdent enrollment in DeKalb County, Ga., even though schools there have never been fully integrated. A five-member court majority also emphasized it generally is not unlawful for Blacks and whites to at- tend different schools if they live in different neighborhoods. "Racial balance is not to be achieved for its own sake," Justice MSA Continued from page 1 problems with the elections. Things are still going pretty smoothly though it's not over yet," Pittman said. "Things are smoother than last year. Last year we had problems with people not showing up at polling sites but things are better this year." "The big problem yesterday was that Rackham student government ran out of ballots but they got more to us today," Pittman said. Fox said there had been a few problems with the elections. "There aren't people showing up to work at polling sites and they're running out of ballots. Otherwise I Anthony Kennedy wrote. "Residential housing choices and their attendant effects on the racial composition of schools present an ever-changing pattern, one difficult to address through judicial remedies." The ruling could affect hundreds of school districts nationwide, many of which still engage in massive busing for racial balance as part of their court-supervised desegregation efforts. Christopher Hansen, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who represented Black par- ents in DeKalb County, said, "It's a difficult decision to comprehend, but we are very disappointed by it and its overall tone." He predicted the ruling would cause "an explosion of litigation, and given its lack of clarity who knows how that's going to turn out." He said many school districts now will seek to end court supervision over some aspects of their desegregation efforts. "It seems the court's majority is growing weary of its commitment to racial justice. It is not prepared to abandon that commitment, but it is clearly frustrated," Hansen said. Kennedy, writing for the court, said, "Federal courts have the au- thority to relinquish supervision and control of school districts in incre- mental stages, before full compli- ance has been achieved in every area of school operations." He listed three factors federal judges should consider in making such partial-withdrawal decisions: -Whether there has been full and satisfactory compliance by school officials in those aspects over which supervision is to end. -Whether continued court con- trol over all aspects is needed to achieve compliance in other areas. -Whether a school district "has demonstrated, to the public and to the parents and students of the once- disfavored race, its good faith com- mitment" to integration. Kennedy said judges should give "particular attention to the school system's record of compliance." L: r ail ----------- Washington' I E. Liberty N.

Candidates were optimistic about their chances, but were wary of declaring the final outcome of the election. "I think we have just as good a chance as anyone else," Fox said. "I think we all worked really hard and did the best we can do so now we just have to wait and see." "I think things are going well," Gast said. "You get people who are really enthusiastic and some who aren't. The majority are just really apathetic about the whole process. I'm not making any predictions." O'Connor agreed.

"We just need to be tougher and smarter, and in return we need to demand more accountability here from our workers and what our companies do," Blanchard said. In response to Rackham graduate stuJent Patrick Moore's question about recent changes in the Michigan voting districts, Blanchard said, "It's a real shame ... it means a loss of influence and power and clout when the delegates (from the Democratic party) were finally coming of age." Blanchard said this fall's election will be a measure of voter disgust toward incumbents. He said the real story of the 1992 presidential campaign is Gov. Bill Clinton's qualifications.

Hiselman said students could re- late to him because he is "extremely mellow" and "a modern man." "The Libertarian party has two things I think students really like," Hiselman said. "Economic freedom and social freedom. ... One Libertarian on council would make life in this city a lot more enjoyable. "We would probably vote with the Republicans to make things a lot less expensive in Ann Arbor," Hiselman said, "and would proba- bly be making it a more liberal en- vironment for having a good time." He said the Libertarian party supports the legalization of drugs and elimination of the drinking age. Grady said students should also be able to relate to his candidacy. During his term on the City 'I would like to see a closer relationship between the city and the U of M.' - Joe O'Neal R-3rd Ward Council, he said he has met and worked with leaders from campus Greek associations in order to "create harmony between surrounding neighbors and the Greeks." Most campus Greek houses are located in the 3rd Ward, and Grady said he has made a great effort to meet not only the Greeks, but other students in the area. FORUM Continued from page 1 coordinator.

"We also have concerns just living in Ann Arbor." He said in addition to issues like the special exception permits that all co-ops and Greek houses are re- quired to obtain before remodeling Erin Einhorn/DAILY GRAPHIC "I think students play a vital role in this community," he said. Grady said he took initiative to eliminate the jail term punishment from the Noisy Party Ordinance which allows police to ticket people hosting unreasonably loud parties.

"I would like to see a closer rela- tionship between the city and the U of M," O'Neal said. "I am a resi- dent and can appreciate the need for peace and quiet, but I've also been a member of the Greek system and can appreciate the part it plays on the life on campus. We've got to find a way to make it work." O'Neal has raised the most funds of the 14 City Council candi- dates, even though he has refused to accept donations of more than $25 and will not take funds from public interest groups. O'Neal has col- lected more than $13,000 in monetary and non-monetary contributions. Hiselman said he is hoping to earn fair consideration despite being a Libertarian. "There's an extreme bias in the system toward the two parties who are in power right now," said Hiselman. "No law should be writ- ten that favors any party over another." or moving into a new house, the panel also plans to ask questions 'This is an opportunity for the Greeks of the University of Michigan to really get their opinions across to the candidates and just to hear what they have to say.' - David Garcia candidate forum co-coordinator 01 *I Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watte 0 MI TIE IS DEEP tI, SoOtA.EA-T SLEEP, DRE~AING OF C*4SES A KEEN pEYES A NING S ~AMMSONs K SMEMBFREL O! ~ 1NW S1992 Watterson/Distributed by UniversalPressSyndicate W -MMMMMM 2 1 F- tPi'nt Night Wednesdays Pints of the "Best Draft beer selection" in town at Glass Prices 'a WRITE FOl TIlE I)A WRITE FOR SPORTS WRITI NEWS WRITE FOR ARTS W FOR OPIONON WRITE FOR MICHIGAN DAILY 76/-0552 L i - TAT- 1 1 i !
