0 Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Monday, November 16,1992 POLICY Continued from page 1 hire DPS security officers to monitor the event. At a meeting Friday between MAC and U-M administrators, MAC proposed the definition of a party be eliminated and that the pol- icy be changed to include all social events. The Office of the Dean of Students solicited input from repre- sentatives from many student groups when it drafted the party guidelines in September. However, there were no representatives from Asian American, Latino, or Native American student organizations in- volved in those discussions, Han said. "I think there are certain prob- lems that minority organizations feel that others don't and that others ne- glected when drafting the policy," Han said. MAC proposed other changes in the policy, including using wrist- bands instead of hand stamping for readmittance to social events, limit- ing the responsibility of the student group to the immediate vicinity of the event, and initiating a Social Events Task Force. Commission members said they would like representatives of the administration, security, and student groups to establish uniform stan- dards of behavior for DPS officers when monitoring events. In addition, they requested race-relations training for the selected DPS officers. "We want to be assured that the officers we're hiring would be sen- sitive to that particular student organization," Han said. U-M administrators said they hope to implement the interim policy in order to "eliminate need for Union Access Policy." The commission asked adminis- trators to suspend the policy or give a specific date when the policy will become ineffective. Associate Dean of Students Frank Cianciola conceded that progress has been made in regards to student conduct around the Union. He said student groups will be re- warded for this improvement by be- ing permitted to fill rooms to the fire marshal capacity, as opposed to the current "manageable capacity" limitation. Dean of Students Royster Harper said the administration is constantly modifying the Union Access Policy - citing the fact that security offi- cers have changed from wearing uniforms to blazers. She added that her office is open to suggestions from students, but it is not at the point where it is ready to repeal the policy. "It's not a policy that we love, either," Harper said. Discussion on the proposed changes to the Social Events Policy will continue at another meeting, scheduled for next week. ISSUES Continued from page 1 "It concerns our freedom of speech and how liberal this campus will be," Blacklock said. "I don't feel that the university should make these decisions." Many students said they would like MSA to make more informa- tion available about how the university uses its money. Fiedrich said, "MSA should be telling us things and be questioning 'I have not seen anything that MSA has done for me directly, other than distribute funds.' - Stewart B/acklock first-year Engineering student regents about where our dollars are going." He expressed indignation over the additional fees the university adds on to tuition. "Things like MTS (Michigan Terminal System) are an extra $100 each term that they add into your tuition, but they don't tell you what it's for," Fiedrich stated. "The uni- versity nickels and dimes you to death." Other students were concerned with the lack of MSA response to tuition increases. "They don't ever rally against tuition increases," said LSA senior Gina Consolino, adding that student representatives at other universities protest increases. Consolino also said she would like to see more interaction between MSA and the administration. Some students said they feel MSA is inaccessible. Fiedrich said, "I don't actively go looking to see what they are do- ing, but then again nothing they have decided on ever filters down to me. "I want my voice to be heard by the regents and the people upstairs. I'm paying too much money not to have a say in what goes on at this university," he added. Junior Steve Stark, an LSA rep- resentative on MSA, acknowledged that many students have no opinion about MSA issues. "Most students are ignorant of MSA," Stark said. Stark suggested a forum to let students voice concerns. He said he would like to start a newsletter with information about candidates so students can begin to know their representatives. Feedback is important from stu- dents, Stark added. "Less feedback from a lot more people would be better than a lot of feedback from only a few," he said. W OMEN Continued from page 1 docsn't d(o a lot to make people awalrc." }(ouse also saiI{ c( does not speciifically try to recruit female canitlidates. "We try to run the best people that we can possibly have for MSA. All of us represent the goals oft all the students. We're all students first. I don't pIretenid to support the view of all men,"I ouse said. "Student issues concern both men and women. We don't want to politiciz.e it as mtcli .' lS . A Rep. T1 obias /immerman said that while the Progressive Party did not intentionally recruit women, it puts a high priority on a diverse slate. T h e lrogressive Party is en dorsing four men and fi ve women. "I'm sure if we ended up with an all male slate we would've (done something about that, but I don't recall any extra-special elfort. It all seems pretty natural."' Zimmerman said. "'t'he lProcressive Party is committedl to diversity on all levels. both on the assembly and out of it.' /.immerman also said the atmo- sphere at MSA ineetings can alienate women. "I think that conservatives mIiake a lot of people feel uncomfort<'h°" 'l'here aire at least three or four peo- pIe who have said blantantly racist things," Zimmerman said. llowever., Budget Priorities C'omnlnittee C'hair Sejaf Mistry said that a lt hou g h more men wield power on the assembly, she has ne ver beel intimitated at MSA meeting;s. "()f course women should be mrnh more represented< on the as- sembly. l'here is a great disparity in power. I munthe only woman com- mittee chair," Mistry said. "But it's not a hostile environment that cre- ates this. I am very conscious at times of being the only woman, but I think I' ve built up the respect o' the asseim bly members. I don't think they would treat me any dif- ferent if I was a man. A t least I would hope they woukdn't.' Mistry also said the responsibil- it y of recruiti1C more women alIls on the parties' shoulders. "lhe reason that more men aie on the assembly is because more men want to do it. It's important to solicit women to run, and it is the responsibility of the parties to do this solicitin," Mistry said. ISA junior ''racy Robinson, the only woman on the ('(' ticket, said it should not make any di'fference whether a candidate is male or female. "it should be students' issues, not wlomiien s t' mlel's1 isSUCS, Robison said. 6 0 CLINTON Continued from page 1 Dole, who also appeared on "Meet the Press," cautioned the next presi- dent "not to try to overload the cir- cuit" with too much legislation in his first few months. Dole said Republicans would try to cooperate on an economic stimu- lus package but also would keep a watchful eye to make sure Clinton's plan dealt with deficit reduction. Clinton heads to Washington later this week for a meeting with biparti- san leaders of Congress. Dole said he owed it to Republicans who don't agree with Clinton "to at least indicate we're not going to be patsies and floor mats and rubber stamps. "We're going to try to be helpful, but at the same time, we are a na- tional party," Dole said, noting the GOP has a chance to make inroads in the Senate in 1994 with 22 Democratic seats up for re-election. ..
