Focus: Hope
members walk
to raise money,
awareness
by Tim Greimel
Focus: HOPE continues to redefine the '60s slogan
"Black Power" as it mobilizes an expected 6,000-
*10,000 participants this Sunday in its 18th annual Walk
for Justice.
Ann Slawnik, assistant manager of Focus: HOPE's
volunteer department, described the group's mission as
an effort "to overcome racism, poverty, and injustice
and to build a metropolitan community in which all
people live in freedom, harmony, trust, and affection."
The eight-mile walk will be held in Detroit and
Highland Park at 1 p.m. Two buses will leave at 11 a.m.
from the front of the U-M Business School for those
students who want to participate.
* Focus: HOPE was founded in 1968 as a reaction to
the 1967 Detroit riots, which were eventually put down
by the U.S. Army.
Slawnik said that the organization was created "to
bring together Blacks and whites and to heal the
wounds caused by the riots."
She called Focus: HOPE a "civil and human rights
organization," and said, "We are basically a food and
job training program."
The money raised by the walkers through pledges
will be used to fund the group's food distribution and
0 high-tech training branches.
"It's a really good program. It helps people who re-
ally need it and who are left out by the system," said
Alan Davis, a multicultural peer advisor assistant at
Mary Markley Residence Hall and a former Focus:
HOPE volunteer.
"Focus: HOPE is so big and well known that it
draws a lot of people from the suburbs who otherwise
may not feel comfortable getting involved."
The organization's food prescription program serves
both young mothers with kids under six years of age
and senior citizens more than 60 years old.
Focus: HOPE operates a "Fast Track" program that
helps students get a more complete high school educa-
tion, along with a Machinist Training Institute.
A third program called the Center for Advanced
Technology (CAT) gives people associate's, bachelor's,
and master's degrees in technological fields and has a
90 percent job placement rate.
Charles Van Hoy, a U-M first-year student said his
* friend was able to get a job with the Coast Guard be-
cause he got an associate's degree from CAT.
He added, "I think that they do a lot of good by
bringing in kids from the suburbs to meet inner-city
kids and by getting the community more involved."
Father William Cunningham and Eleanor Josaitis
were the founders of the group, which was originally
run by volunteers in the basement of Detroit's Madonna
Catholic Church.

This is the last in a
three-part series on
third-party candidates
running for local,
state and national
office in the Nov. 3
election.

Michigan voters will see the
Tisch and Natural Law Candidates
alongside more publicized candi-
dates on the November presidential
ballot.
The Tisch Independent Citizens
Party - the Michigan affiliate of the
United States Taxpayers' Party -
opposes abortion, and "homosexual
conduct."
The party's platform calls for
major congressional reforms,
including an abolition of
Congressional Pensions, the Civil
Service System and the Federal
Reserve System.
Running on the Tisch ticket is
Paul Jensen - who ran in
Colorado's Democratic presidential
primary in March - a candidate for
the U.S. House of Representatives in
the 13th Congressional District,
which includes the campus area.
In state and local elections, the
Tisch party is running Pat Burkard
for 53rd District State House seat
and Leif Larson for County
Commissioner in the 11th District.
Both of these districts also encom-
pass the U-M.
The party has nominated Howard
Phillips for president and Robert
Tisch for vice president.
Phillips' political career includes
work in the Executive Office of the
President. He headed two federal
agencies - the President's Council
'Neophyte Nation'
show
on Youth Opportunity and the U.S.,
Office of Economic Opportunity.
The party was formed in 1982 by
supporters of the Tisch Tax Cut
Amendment, which proposed to re-
duce property taxes in Michigan by
60 percent with the funds lost by
public schools to be reimbursed by
the state.
Voters will also see The Natural
Law Party (NLP) on the presidential
ballot. NLP was formed in April in
Fairfield, Iowa by "citizens who
were dissatisfied with the entrenched
two-party system's inability to solve,
the problems of America," said vol-
unteer Doug Gorney.
The presidential ticket of John
Hagelin and Mike Tompkins is run-
ning onra plan of economic and elec-
tion reform, said Nebraska
Campaign Manager Ron Pero. The
economic plan, titled the "Trillion
Dollar Solution," calls for saving $t
trillion a year through using existing
technology in areas such as health
care and energy conservation. The
party says it would reduce the fed-
eral deficit and sponsor
"responsible" tax reduction.
Presidential candidate Hagelin is
a quantum physicist and vice presi-
dential candidate Tompkins earned,,
his Ph.D. in the science of creative:7
intelligence.
The party was created to "bring
the light of science into politics,"
Gorney said. "As such, we felt it was
quite natural to put a man of science-,
in the presidential position."
The NLP platform supports crime
prevention through education, urbarr
revitalization, reduction of societal:
stress and criminal rehabilitation. It
promotes shifting foreign policy
from military aid to research and the
creation of environmental industry to -
further the interests of the economy
and the environment.
The ticket is on the ballot in 30
states and Washington, D.C. There
are no local NLP candidates.

The University Activities
Soundstage has been silent for
be back starting today.
Center (UAC)
a year, but will
Local alternative band Neophyte Nation
will appear on the steps of the Graduate
Library from noon to 1 p.m., kicking off the
Soundstage's return to campus. Soundstage co-
chairs Kathleen Denton and Kathy
Dimitrievski plan to host bands every other
Friday night at the U-Club, starting with
Neophyte Nation's performance tonight.
"The people who were hired to do the
Soundstage last year just didn't do it," Denton
said. "They figured students wouldn't be inter-
ested because of the no-alcohol policy at the
U-Club."
Encouraged by the success of the Escapade
program in the Michigan Union last month,
Soundstage organizers said they hope to return
the Union to its previous status as "a fun place
to hang out."
"In the old days, when the U-Club started,
it was a popular spot for students," Denton
said. The new Soundstage staff does not antic-
ipate that the U-Club alcohol policy will be
detrimental to the success of their program.
"This will be good for the younger stu-
dents," Denton predicts. "Only the seniors are
21. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors all
need a place to go, and something to do Friday
night - as well as students who don't drink. It
will be a good atmosphere for everyone."
A variety of local bands are scheduled to
attract students to the U-Club in upcoming
weeks, with Uncle Chunk and Vudu Hippies
on the calendar for October. The Soundstage
aims to host a nationally-known band next
semester, a feat the committee could accom-
plish if they find a sponsor.
"We are looking for co-sponsorship in other
venues to add to UAC funds," Denton said. "If
not, perhaps we will put all of our money to-
ward one popular band, in hopes of making a
profit to keep it going."
