Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, March 4, 1993 SIGN Continued from page 1 Yeltzer said most patrons thought it was funny and wanted to see the ad, but he did receive some phone calls protesting the flyer. "It was upsetting the women, so we took it down," Yeltzer said. Six days after the article was printed, The Pit placed a full-page ad in The Lantern apologizing for the incident. The ad portrays a character re- sembling Bart Simpson writing, "I will not degrade women," on a blackboard. Below it reads, "Only 4,479 more to go." After reading the apology, Chandler said she wanted to thank Pit management. "They have to realize in order to keep women as customers they have to not degrade us. If there's any word they should equate us with it should be goddess," she said. Yeltzer said the ad effectively communicated his message. "I thought it was kind of a cute way to apologize," he said. University English Prof. Martha Vicinus said, "My general larger view of these kinds of things is - it's like going after a symbol rather than the larger issues that seem much more difficult to solve. HOLOCAUST Continued from page 1 John Murphy - a faculty mem- ber on the UT publications commit- tee, the body that voted to run the ad - said he believes the ideas are foolish and will be refuted by intel- ligent people. "If someone wants to say the world is flat, let them take out an advertisement," he said. "If someone ,wants to say something as ridiculous as the Holocaust didn't occur, let them." Murphy was the one faculty board member, along with five UT students, who voted to run the ad. The board has ultimate jurisdiction over all material printed in the Daily Texan. Murphy said failing to print the ad would be a form of censorship. "It is a very dangerous incursion on the reader's rights," he said, adding that it is not the function of the newspaper or the board to decide what is acceptable for the reader to read. But Baker said the board's ac- tions allow outright anti-Semitism. "They are willing to support the rights of a bunch of Nazis over the rights of members of the Jewish community," he said. Some students at the Daily Texan said they did not wish to run the ad, but were required to in response to the board's decision. The newspa- per's Editor in Chief Geoff Henley, said he regrets the ad's appearance. "It is misleading. An ad of such sensitive nature can't be that way and it is offensive," he said. Faculty board member Eli Cox said he voted not to print the ad be- cause the board policy is to reject all ads that involve attacks of a per- sonal, racial or religious nature. But Murphy said he is sure stu- dents can determine truth from lies. "I have a lot of confidence with the students' ability to identify Bradley Smith's distortions and half-truths for what they are, which is just garbage," he said. Smith said revisionists will con- tinue to challenge historical docu- mentation of the Holocaust as un- true. "Every year a half a million tourists in Auschwitz are being lied to," he said. "I feel that students have the right to read the literature of people who are writing radical, dissenting views about alleged historical events," he added. Baker said nothing can excuse the printing of the ad and the anti- Semitic feelings it encourages. "The Jewish community is very upset about it and I think quite right- fully so," Baker said. "For (the ad- vocators of the ad), what does it MEDSTART Continued from page 1 for Children won this year's award. In 1991, a group of medical students concerned with the lack of compas- sionate instruction in the first two years of medical school began this program. The group focuses on the lack of health-care services available to children in low-income families. In January, the group held a one- day conference, which Medstart member Norman Harrison said grew to include students from many of the University's graduate programs. Medstart was chosen over five other student groups - University Activities Center, Greek Week Steering Committee, Reflections of Croatia, and Project SERVE. Maureen Hartford, vice president for student affairs, said applicants were judged using four criteria: team initiative and enterprise, enhance- ment of the campus/community en- vironment, achievement of goals through cooperative effort, and recognition of individual contribu- tions to the group. Robins said, "We're continually 'Teamwork has been key to Saturn's success, and we are proud to join with University of Michigan to share our philosophy with students.' - Lori Robins Saturn Product Planner impressed by how students are committed to the teamwork approach." Medstart's next step is participa- tion in the national Saturn competi- tion in Spring Hill, Tenn. There, they will compete with teams from 15 other colleges and universities for an award of $5,000.

The posters, designed by the non-partisan staff, will only an- nounce that MSA elections a, be- ing held on March 17-18. U M' ' campaign posters, they are solely intended to encourage students to vote and will not in any way en- dorse or mention any specific candidates or parties. A statement released by the Michigan Party said, "at least 1,065 posters would be posted by the various candidates and parties, saving the Elections Staff consid- erable time." The Michigan Party made its proposal after a similar plan was submitted by the Progressives. However, the earlier alternative called for each individual candi- date and party to design its own poster. Select MSA representatives de- cided to use the Michigan Party's proposal, and Elections Staff members are planning to distribute fliers to each candidate. The Michigan Party's proposal mandates that: the Election Staff design and distribute 15 posters to each can- didate; the posters only announce the dates of the election and a general encouragement to vote; the posters not endorse, mention, or support any specific candidate or party running for of- fice so as to maintain absolute non-partisanship; the posters not advocate any position to be taken on any ballot questions; and, the Election Staff strongly encourage all candidates to volun- tarily participate in this voter turnout drive by putting up at least their allotment of posters in addi- tion their own campaign fliers. Election director Allison Insley said the success of the drive de- pends on candidate participation. "They can only help them- selves by doing it," she said. Greenberg added, "We are all working toward one goal to in- crease student participation. The Michigan Party thinks this is nec- essary for a good student govern- ment."

"With more student input into MSA from all different parts of the University, we can achieve our goal of making MSA an effective student government, not an ideological battleground," Greenberg said. Conservative Coalition (CC) candidates said they want to focus MSA's efforts towards local issues. CC presidential candidate Brent House said, "We are trying to bring MSA back to campus issues, back to things that actually affect students." House echoed other candidates' concerns about student organization funding and suggested reworking MSA's budget as a possible solution. House added that he and CC vice presidential candidate Michelle Toger will meet with the administration regularly. "We might not be able to While the parties' platforms are diverse, they share a common goal of increasing funding to student organizations. change or get rid of all the policies, but at least we can keep the student body informed and prepare for what actions we can take." *I WeIr All -ghter. oAb outH You Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our copy centers provide everything you need to meet impossible deadlines.
