Former Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates - who presided over the department at the time of the ri- ots - will debate Nadine Strossen, the international president of the American Civil Liberties Union, Nov. 19 at Hill Auditorium. "We're not necessarily bringing controversy," said Bhavin Shah, who is coordinating the debate for Viewpoint. "We're bringing them here so that students can ask questions." Shah said he expects 4,000 peo- ple to fill the auditorium and plans to allow students to question Gates and W Strossen. "It's very easy to sit at home and bash on Daryl Gates," Shah said. "But this type of format allows stu- dents to critically analyze the events that happened in the L.A. riots and discuss them." Shah said Viewpoint plans to host facilitator-led discussions about the issues after the debate for interested students. Tickets for the debate - sched- uled from 8-10 p.m. - will be available to students for $3 at the door, and to non-students at the door for $5 . Clinton seeks strategies for political reform Road tripp in' [SA sophomore Bob Spieth posts a message on the Ride Board yesterday in the Michigan Union. Spieth said he is looking for a passenger to share gas expenses for a trip to Ohio this weekend. Anoymiy1srroud Dea of tudntsOffc LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The strategists who helped Bill Clinton win the White House are now quietly sketching plans for a po- litical operation that would keep him there a full eight years. As Clinton himself concentrates on weighty transition matters and devotes little attention to shaping a White House political team, top aides plan to attend to the latter, bent on helping the Democratic Party build on its first national victory in a dozen years. Key players in the effort are sure to be those who orchestrated Clinton's winning campaign: com- munications director George Stephanopoulos, manager David Wilhelm, strategists James Carville and Paul Begala, pollster Stanley Greenberg and fund-raiser Rahm Emanuel. While they plot strategy, they're shopping for new cars - a practical acknowledgement that Clinton's crew members dare not drive foreign models once they're in power in Washington. Stephanopoulos, one of Clinton's closest aides and his most visible spokesperson, is certain to land in a senior White House position. Wilhelm, who built Clinton's or- ganization in crucial states and often served as an emissary to labor and other interest groups, is likely to land either in the White House or at the Democratic National Committee. The outcome depends on whether Clinton chooses to run his political operation from inside the White House or through the party. "David is the right hand for poli- tics," said one senior Clinton ad- viser. "Where he lands is where the politics get directed from." Past presidents have tried it both ways. Ronald Reagan turned first to campaign spokesperson Lyn Nofziger and then other Republican I wouldn't live in a country that would allow me to work in the government' -James Carville Clinton Campaign Rep. operatives to run a White House political team. President Bush, on the other hand, installed campaign manager Lee Atwater as Republican Party chair and kept his political team at party headquarters. After Atwater's death, the Bush operation shifted to the White House but was never as effective. Carville, who directed Clinton's daily strategy, has made it clear he wants no role in government. "I wouldn't live in a country that would allow me to work in the govern- ment," is a favorite Carville line. by Jennifer Silverberg Daily Administration Reporter The Dean of Students Office, formed Sept. I as an offshoot of the Office of Student Affairs, remains an enigma to many students although it was intended to provide an outlet for their concerns. "I've never heard of it, but I think it sounds cool," said LSA first year student Nicholas Dongvillo. "Does it have something to do with the Dean's List?," asked an- other student, who wished to remain anonymous. The Dean of Students Office, lo- cated on the third floor of the Michigan Union, is headed by Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Royster Harper. The office is divided into unit-specific areas headed by associate deans: Richard Carter, who is responsible for multicultural activities; Delores Sloan, who oversees specialized education services; and, Frank Cianciola, who is re- sponsible for the Student Organization Development Center, the Michigan Union, North Campus Commons and the Michigan League. Because advertising has not been a priority, Harper said many students. are still unfamiliar with the office. "We didn't want to promise more than we could do.

"(The fear of AIDS) didn't start to affect me until a friend's friend tested HIV-positive. Then I started to think about it more. Before then my sexual habits were influenced more by fear of pregnancy," said an LSA first-year student who wished Secoind of two articles I to remain anonymous. While U-M students' views about sexual morals differ considerably, most said they have reconsidered their sexual practices as a result of the AIDS virus. "This is the first generation to grow up with the threat of AIDS. I think things have changed a lot in the past few years. I think that peo- ple are becoming more responsible," said Sarah Barnett, a master's degree candidate in the School of Public Health. However, some students said they are not overly worried about contracting the disease because they do not consider themselves to be at high risk of exposure. "(AIDS) is kind of scary. It didn't affect me too much since my sexual behavior wasn't too promiscuous to begin with. I've always practiced safe sex," said Kristina, an LSA first-year student. "Maybe if I knew somebody well it might affect me more. I don't think about it on a daily basis. When I'm about to have sex I don't think about it," she added. Many students such as Scott, an LSA sophomore, said they arc taking precautions to protect themselves from AIDS - including regular testing for the HIV antibody. "It's a very important issue be- cause of increased sexuality. People need to practice safe sex," he said. "The difference between knowing the facts and following what you MSA Independents buck parties Shadow ofnational elections brings andi-party mowment to campus by Megan Lardner Daily Staff Reporter Many new MSA candidates are following in the footsteps of Ross Perot by shunning the two estab- lished campus parties in favor of running as Independents. "There's a big independent movement going on nationally in this country," said Lisa Silver, a se- nior running on the School of Music ballot. Her campaign for an MSA seat will reflect this trend on a smaller scale, she said. "I'm standing on my own principles," Silver said. Candidates from all parties said this election year is notable for the overwhelming number of Independent candidates seeking MSA office. Fourteen Independent candidates - including eight candidates seek- ing the eight avaialble LSA seats - have bucked the assembly's two- party system to vie for open seats. The Independent candidates have chosen to run their own campaigns without the support of either the Progressive Party or the Conservative Coalition. Most Independents said they do not feel the need to associate themselves with an established party. "Parties divide the MSA and di- vide the student body as a whole," said Independent LSA candidate Craig Greenberg. Most Independent candidates have expressed a strong aversion to current MSA policies. The parties are overly concerned with issues unrelated to the students, said Independent candidate Mark Chasteen, an LSA junior. "MSA needs to get back on track in terms of helping students and doing things for students," he added. But Independent candidates said the parties have an election advan- tage due to their financial resources and set base of voters, Chasteen said. Independents also view students who vote along party lines as a pos- sible threat to their candidacies. Many students will vote for party candidates, even if they know noth- ing about them, said Lorne Gearhart, an Independent candidate running See MSA, Page 2 know is the key.
