WOMEN
Continued from page 1
"It's interesting that it took that
kind of battle of the sexes in the
Senate for people to do something
about it," Herrmann added.
Hanson predicted the Senate
Judiciary Committee will never be
all-male again, and added that she is
confident women will be represented
in President-elect Bill Clinton's

Cabinet.
"Looking at (Clinton's) record in
Arkansas, it is clear that this is part
of what he is committed to," said
Hanson.
In the election, an enormous
number of women supported female
candidates and an equally large
number supported Clinton's cam-
paign, Hanson said. Most Of the fe-
male candidates who ran for
Congress also supported Clinton.

Hanson added that both male and
female candidates seemed to shy
away from the Bush campaign be-
cause of such a low popularity.
The historic increase in the num-
ber of women shows "America
wanting change," Hanson said.
"Women have worked for 12
years and women's issues will fi-
nally move through - we've
walked up the political ladder."

constructive and cooperative board,"
said Regent Deane Baker (R-
AnnArbor).
Smith agreed.
"It's a non-partisan board," she
said. "I think they will vote for what
is good for the university."
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle
Creek) said she is optimistic about
the board's future.
"I'm a Republican and I was en-
dorsing the Republican nominees
but that does not mean I'm unhappy
with the two Democrats elected be-
cause they are both competent and.
qualified," McFee said.
Baker agreed that partisanship
has little significance on the board.
"The Board of Regents' decisions
are not politically driven. Certainly
there are some philosophical or

changes," Kingdon said. "There's
been quite a lot of talk about reforms
in Congress."
Many analysts agree that
Congress could be successful in
passing bills that were previously
vetoed by President Bush, such as
the Family Leave Act and a national
health insurance plan.
Rosenstone said another advan-
tage of a non-divided government is
that voters will not have a problem
in assigning credit or blame once the
four-year term expires.
"It will be clear who is responsi-
ble for the state of the nation," he
said, adding that the process of
elections functions more efficiently
when voter decisions are based on
performance.
But Rosenstone noted that even
with a Democratic Congress,

ideological differences between
regents but by and large we all keep
our eye on the goal of what is best
for the university."
McFee agreed.
"Most issues with which we deal
are not partisan by nature. Some
might have philosophical overtones
and some things are partisan but
these are small in number," she said.
Kennedy said the U-M is also'
happy with the election results.
"We're obviously pleased that
we've got some new regents and we
are looking forward to working with
them in the future," Kennedy said.
McFee said any of the candidates
who ran would have served the
board well.
"All of the candidates running
would make excellent contributions
to the board, so how could anyone
be displeased?" McFee said.
Clinton will face opposition from
members of his own party in addi-
tion to the Republicans.
Clinton will need to establish
early relationships with Congress in
order to initiate immediate economic
reform.
Analysts said the pressure to pro-
duce big economic improvement
soon after taking office will be
enormous.
"He has to come out of the chute
running," Rosenstone said.
He said Clinton needs to acf fast
and seize upon the first 100 days in
office - when public opinion is
high and he has the goodwill of
members of both parties - to begin
implementing the policies he fo-
cused on during the election
campaign.
The Republicans tend to jump on
the bandwagon earlier in the admin-
istration, Rosenstone said.
As Clinton began his search for a

The GOP lost control over the
State Board of Education when
Democrat Kathleen Straus and in-
cumbent Republican Dorothy
Beardmore were elected.
Democrats won six seats on the

swiftly with the shaky economy.
The Clinton-Gore combination
- representing the prospect of a
new political direction for the coun-
try - comes to Washington as the
emissary of a new generation.
This first-time baby boom ticket
could indicate that Bush was the last
of the "GI generation" presidents -
those who fought in World War II
and witnessed the development of
the Cold War.
Rosenstone noted that the old
guard is disappearing and most will'
be in their 70s by 1996.
He named Jack Kemp, secretary
of housing and Urban Development,
former Vice President Dan Quayle
and Senate Minority Leader Bob
Dole (R-Kan.) as possible
Republican contenders in 1996.

TURNOUT
Continued from page 1
Byrne attributed the long lines at
the polls to high voter turnout and
slow voters.
"A lot of people read the propos-
als for the first time in the booth.
Some people took 15 to 18 minutes
to vote. The state law gives three
minutes," Byrne said.
Though the county clerk's office
does not maintain records on student
voter turnout, students waited at
campus area polling sites in lines
that sometimes lasted more than two
hours.
LSA sophomore Claire Huschle
waited in line 40 minutes at the
Michigan Union.
"It was a long line. It might have
discouraged people. But I had
friends who waited in line for 2 1/2
hours and they still voted," Huschle
said.
Gwyn Hulswit, an LSA junior,
said she waited in line an hour and
20 minutes at East Quad.
She called the polling well-
organized.
"Given the amount of people that
they had, I don't see how it could
have gone any faster. It was mov-
ing," Hulswit said.
The increase in voter turnout may
have helped local candidates.
Democrats Lynn Rivers and
Mary Schroer both won spots in the
Michigan House of Representatives.

Schroer said she does not think
President-elect Bill Clinton was an
major factor in her victory.
"I find it interesting when people
talk about the 'coattail effect.'
'It was a long line. It
might have
discouraged people.
But I had friends who
waited in line for 2 1/2
hours and they still
voted.'
-Claire Huschle
LSA sophomore
Maybe it's just a switch in voting
patterns rather than coattails,"
Schroer said.
She also pointed out that
Republicans gained a majority in the
state Legislature.
Schroer said she does not think
the increased voter turnout affected
the campaign too heavily.
"The turnout effect we noticed
was mostly outside the city of Ann
Arbor. Because I didn't carry a ma-'
jority of this, I think it had little im-
pact," she said. She noted that she
did better than Democrats have done
in townships in the past.
Schroer called the impact of stu-
dent votes "fairly negligible," be-
cause 41,504 votes were cast, and.
North Campus is the only part of the
U-M within her district.
