The Michigan Daily- Friday, April 10, 1992 -Page 3 Libertarian Marrou attacks government .in presidential race by Hope Calati New alcohol policy to be implemented at Union events 4 uaiiy Start Keporter Libertarian presidential candidate Andre Marrou courted voters with an anti-government message chal- lenging the positions of the two ma- jor political parties to a crowd of 50 * people in the Union last night. "Our thrust will always be to minimize, minimize, minimize --. Marrou fastest growing national party. "The Libertarian party will be the next major party. It is inevitable that we will elect a Libertarian president and congress," Marrou said. "We expect to do well not with- standing Ross Perot," Marrou added, referring to the Texas billionaire who recently entered the race. Marrou highlighted the issues of his anti-government platform which include the repeal of the personal in- come tax, a restoration of gun own- ership rights, legalization of drugs, an end to all tax funded subsidies and an elimination of governmental bureaucracy through attrition. He said the current system of taxation is destructive to the econ- omy. "Whatever you tax is going to be discouraged," Marrou said. He said reducing bureaucracy faster than abolishing taxes will create a surplus which can be applied to the national debt. Marrou also advocates the re- moval of government from health care. "Health care is expensive be- cause the government subsidies of the last 25 years. We would be able to afford it if the government got out- (of health care) as we did before the government got in," Marrou said. Marrou casted himself as an al- ternative to the Democratic and Republican candidates. "(They) are trying to mandate activity or restrict action ... You should have as much freedom as possible provided you! don't hurt or defraud anyone," Marrou said. Marrou said the Democratic and Republican forum for national de-] bate effectively closes out other can-1 didates. He said Clinton and Bush! "say anything and do anything they can get away with to get elected." 1 Marrou criticized the news media for ignoring his candidacy. "Why has the press given so much press to David Duke who is a Nazi and a Klu Klux Klan member. But what about me? I'm just a nice guy who quotes{ the Constitution." LSA senior Curt Weilder said, "I think this represents a trend ... I think he's on target in predicting that the Libertarian party is growing." Engineering senior Tom Wilberding said, "I agreed with a lot of his ideas ... but he didn't address how those ideas could be imple- mented." by Purvi Shah Daily Administration Reporter The Michigan Union Board of Representatives (MUBR) voted yesterday to change the policy for serving alcohol at social events held within the Union. The new policy will become ef- fective after it is approved by the University Task Force on alcohol and other drugs on or by Aug. 1. Guidelines and possible sanc- tions have been established in the new policy designed to eliminate underage drinking at University events. The guidelines for the provision of alcohol at any social event are: All guests must be 21 years of age or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian; Substantial amounts of non- alcoholic drinks and high-protein, low-fat food must be available; At receptions with meals, al- cohol can be served for no longer than an hour before the meal and at receptions without meals alcohol cannot be served for more than two hours; and, Serving of alcohol will cease an hour before the event ends. MUBR chair Priti Marwah said she does not believe that the new policy will have a great impact on the number of organizations Arbor Police Department on a bench warrant for embezzlement.

'Sting' operation worth $3,000 The Briarwood Sears shopping store was the scene of an intricate scam during the afternoon of April 1. The scam, labeled by the police as a "pigeon drop," began with a conversation between two strangers. One woman was approached by a another woman who said she had just found a purse containing $18,000. At that point, a third woman - who police said was in- volved in the scam - joined the conversation, claiming to be a Sears HEATHER LOWMAN/Daily choosing to hold events in the Union. "I think it will affect (student groups), but if you have people un- der 21 drinking, then it's wrong. We're following right along with the Task Force," she said. "It's a very small percentage of student 'We're following right along with the Task Force. - Priti Marwah MUBR chair groups that have these (alcohol- served) events anymore." If any organization violates a policy regulation, the following , sanctions may be taken: written rep- rimand on the first offense, loss of privileges to provide bar service at, an event for a year and removal of right to schedule any event in the Union for a year. The alcohol policy is a part of a new Universitywide Social Events,- Policy, which will be finalized May 1. University administrators are a currently working on framing the- policy, with student leaders later. providing input on a policy draft. - Events occurring within the, Union, Michigan League, Trotter House, and Recreation facilities will be governed by the Social Events Policy. employee. The alleged employee persuaded the other two women to turn the money over to Sears, adding that they could split it three ways if it was not claimed. The two scam artists demanded "good faith money" from the victim. They said she had to surrendet $3,000 to be allowed in the deal. Th victim gave the money to the twq women who pretended to put th' money into an envelope. The two women then pocketed the money. We will always be trying to cut the government," Marrou said. Marrou ran for vice president on the Libertarian slate in 1988 and has served in the Alaska State Legislature from 1985-87. His vice presidential candidate is Nancy Lord, a lawyer and medical doctor who ran for Washington, D.C., mayor in 1990. They won the first national pri- mary in Dixville Notch, N.H., sur- prising the national media. The ticket garnered 3,200 votes in New Hampshire. Marrou and Lord are appearing on the primary ballots in New Hampshire, California and Nebraska. He said several states have laws which require third party candidates to gather signatures or pay a fee to appear on the ballot. The campaign is focusing on get- ting on the ballot in all 50 states for the November general election. The ticket is currently on the ballot in 26 states and near certification in another eight, Marrou said.
