Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Friday, February 12,1993 ABORTION Continued from page 1 Competing with the music of church choir practice at times, Schroer spoke emotionally about her personal experience with abortion rights. "I am not a scholar on this issue. I am a street fighter for abortion rights," Schroer said. "I come from a Catholic home where abortion was viewed as a sin." Schroer told the discussion group that her 88-year-old mother said, "I never thought I'd be supporting someone who was for abortion," when she provided funding for CALL FOR ART: Jewish Women's Art Exhibit March 22-April 8 Michigan Union Art Lounge ENTRY FORMS DUE BY MARCH 14 Call Debbie 995-9439 or Mara 741-0139 Schroer's campaign. Noting the current 9-9 split on the House Public Health Committee - the body which hears abortion legislation - committee member Schroer, warned that House leaders were planning to add two anti-abor- tion members to the committee. In the state House, four female anti-abortion members re-introduced an informed consent bill containing a 24-hour waiting period and a re- quirement to view drawings of aborted fetuses yesterday. Johndal expressed concern over the anti-abortion legislation, adding that only 50 of the 110 House mem- bers are pro-abortion rights. At a press conference, Sen. Jack Weston (R-Grand Rapids) said the Senate version of the informed con- sent bill "would allow women to make informed choices before they go out and kill their babies." CUSTODY Continued from page 1 learned of his daughter's existence, the DeBoers had already been granted custody of the child and were waiting for the adoption pro- ceedings to become final. The DeBoers brought the child back to Ann Arbor from the Iowa hospital where she was born, and named her Jessica. Meanwhile, Daniel Schmidt be- gan his legal quest to regain custody of his daughter. While the mother had given up her parental rights to the child, Schmidt had not - the le- gal basis for his case. In December 1991, an Iowa District Court ordered the DeBoers to return the child to Schmidt. However, the DeBoers kept the child while appealing the decision. In September 1992 the DeBoers lost their appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court, at which time they were told to return the child to Daniel and Cara Schmidt on Dec. 3, 1992. Instead, on that date they were in Washtenaw County Circuit Court, beginning legal proceedings to have the Michigan judicial system assume jurisdiction over the case. In January of this year, the venue moved to Ann Arbor because Ager agreed to hear the case in his court with a view to deciding the "best interests of the child." The hearings started Jan. 29 in the downtown Ann Arbor court- room. This complex battle is expected to set a legal precedent for similar custody trials in the future.

Scarnecchia is being assisted by a select group of students from the U- M Law School's Child Advocacy Clinic, who are involved with re- search and some motion presenta- tions for the case. Scarnecchia, however, is the primary legal repre- sentative. The court has heard testimony from both couples, psychologists, the attorney who handled the DeBoers' original adoption attempt, Daniel Schmidt's former lovers, and his 16-year-old son from a previous marriage. The psychologists offered testi- mony concerning the effects poten- tial outcomes might have on the child and the mental fitness of the adults involved. This testimony concerning the LEADER Continued from page 1 being toppled from its superior posi- tion in a hierarchy, said Jamal Young of the Office of Minority Affairs. "White folks do look for leader- ship, like Black political-type lead- ers," Young said. "But they are cho- sen by and anointed and made prominent by white folks," he said. He cited a lack of recognition of Marcus Garvey, Frederick Douglass, and W.E.B. DuBois, in public schools to reinforce this point. Vice Provost for Minority Affairs Charles Moody said Malcolm X was not appreciated by everyone during the 1960s because of a lack of expo- sure to his platform of extreme pro- Blackness - a theory which advo- cated using the white race to thrust Black Americans into positions of political power. In this century society has ac- knowledged a few Black leaders. But who remains in charge? Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan? African American holiday Kwanzaa founder Maulana Karega? Members of the Black community ask why a minority group has to have a spokesperson. Not everyone in that group shares the same ideologies, Black Student Union Speaker Tonya Clowney said. "I don't feel the Black commu- nity is looking for one specific leader. There is an absence of a na- tional leader but this is because one person must speak for the beliefs, wants, or experiences of a nation of people," she explained. Moody shared Clowney's view, and said there are many forms of leadership - including politics, sci- ence and entertainment. He compared a movement to a basketball team during a game. "You need different people to play different roles to carry out a game plan or movement," he said. "And when the TV cameras go off, the work still goes on." As well, people of color wonder why every individual who is a mem- ber of a minority group becomes a role model once they achieve suc- cess. Basketball player Michael Jordan and musician Prince never asked to specifically lead a group of Blacks, Moody said. I adults is expected to be fundamental to the outcome of the case. University child psychologist Thomas Horner testified Feb. 3 that granting custody to the Schmidts would initially be very painful for the child, but she might eventually recover from the trauma and form her own identity. Ann Arbor psychotherapist Beth Clark told the court Wednesday of the results of her psychological ex- aminations of the two couples. She gave damning testimony about Daniel Schmidt, saying he is easy to anger and apt to blame others for his problems. "It really gives you a feel ... that he's about to lose it," Clark said of Schmidt's emotional control. The DeBoers have said they will abide by Ager's decision and will place the child's interests before their own, even if it means losing her. "As soon as a Black, Hispanic, Asian American, or Native American ascends to some kind of position, the first thing people say is,,.You have to be a role model.' I've never heard anyone saying a white had to be a role model," he said. Moody said he thinks Black celebrities often receive a lot of at- tention because they have not had much mainstream exposure. "You can have all the Barry Manilows and Springsteens," he said. "But there hasn't been enough room for contributors who are Asian Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, and Hispanics." This has also been a concern of the University community, where members of a certain ethnicity, reli- gion, racial, or sexual preference, question one of two things - why members of their community who have ascended to higher positions such as professorships do not speak for them or why members of their community designated by someone from outside decide to speak for them. Clowney said she questions the latter, wondering why a leader must be imposed on her. "You don't look toward one speaker for white Americans, and when you look for that one specific leader in Black Americans what you're doing is denying a person his or her identity and it is insulting for people to be- lieve they experience that at all," she said. A leader cannot speak for all peo- ple, not even a leader resurrected from the past. Society can continue to look for role models, but each person has their own and has many. The return to Malcolm X last year was a stepping stone by which Americans could examine his preach- ing critically and either maintain or change their opinion about the leader. But the leader is no longer with us and if he were, who is to say an entire community would follow his views? "Martin didn't speak for the fol- lowers of Malcolm and Malcolm didn't speak for the followers of Martin," Clowney said. "And Martin and Malcolm didn't speak for those,- who didn't follow either. Leaders speak for those who follow them." 3s 0 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the faN and winter terrs by students at the University of Michigan.
