Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Monday, March 29, 1993 EVIDENCE Continued from page 1 selling cocaine in off-campus housing is no longer accused of a statement violation. "He came in and he said he didn't do it," Antieau said. "I've investigated and there isn't sufficiernt evidence to send it on to the next level. He is no longer an accused under the policy." Antieau said she is pleased the case has been dropped. "It makes me happy because it's a (Department of Public Safety) referral. There are a lot of concerns that every time DPS sends us something, the student is im- mediately guilty and that's not true," Antieau said. "I'm pleased the system worked in a positive way." Antieau said she accused the student because when she received the charge from DPS, she thought police had already pressed charges against him. "I don't think it had been dismissed when I got the file but when he came in, they had been dismissed and so the charges were also dropped here," Antieau said. Antieau said the student's name will not be tied to any official University documents since the charge was dropped. "There's no official anything. It becomes part of our historical file," Antieau said. "There is no official recorded link with his name because there is no violation." Antieau added that she does not believe the student was adversely affected by the charges made against him. "He was very sure from the initial point with me. He knew the charges were dropped and the case would be as well," Antieau said. "I have no reason to believe this was upsetting to him personally." AcCUSED Continued from page 1 ment. "I was like, 'That cop was right. He's going to get me,"' White said. "First the eviction letter and then this." When he received the letter, White said he did not completely understand what the policy was. "I had glanced at the articles in the Daily but I didn't know the specifics," White said. "I thought it was only in the Union or some- thing." White said a mistake in the Office of Student Affairs compounded his confusion. "They were supposed to send a copy of the Rights and Responsibilities but someone forgot to put it in (the envelope)," he ex- plained. White met with Anticau Feb. 26. During their 20-minute meeting White said Antieau explained the charges made against him. He then wrote his response to the charges and signed a release form allowing Antieau to talk to his mother and lawyer. White said he was frustrated with the meeting. "As this point I said, 'The police didn't file any charges. How are you going to do this to me?"' White said. "I felt like my due process was being violated. I felt like I had to prove I was innocent when they should have had to prove I was guilty." Before White left her office, Antieau told him he had seven days to tell the University what hearing process he desired for his case. An accused can select mediation by a neutral party, an administrative hearing, or hearing by a six-member student panel. White said he did not call Antieau back for two-and-one half weeks. "They never contacted me at all so I called them and she said they were still working on it so, 'Don't worry, we'll get back to you,"' White said. White said he was surprised by Antieau's reaction to his tardy call. "When I called back it was a lackadaisical attitude," White said. "I thought they were going to say, 'You missed your cutoff. We already decided your case. You're gone.' But they were running around trying to figure out all the specifics." White did not hear from the University again until he received a letter Saturday informing him his case had been dropped due to insufficient evidence. "They should let me know what's going on," White said. "When they found out something they should have let me know immediately. But that didn't happen." CELEBRATION Continued from page 1 of crowd controls we can put in place to disperse a crowd if it be- comes rowdy, and to do that at the first sign the crowd is in anything other than a party atmosphere," Melby said. Mayor Liz Brater created a 30- member Safe Celebration Task Force last May to address the same problem. The group - with repre- sentatives from the administration, city, police and student community - met Friday. "We're just really supportive of the Michigan basketball team. We're working to ask people to try to provide the opportunity for us to celebrate in a way that's safe for everyone," Brater said. Maureen Hartford, vice president for student affairs, said the University is also working to ensure safe celebrations in other locations. "Basically, we're trying to create a new tradition for students to cele- brate in an area that isn't full of plate-glass windows," Hartford said. At the request of a number of student groups, Hartford said the University has reserved Crisler Arena and plans to show the Final Four game on televisions located throughout the auditorium. But some students said they would not go to Crisler Arens be- cause they prefer the atmosphere of a bar. "I came (to a bar) last Sunday. It was really fun," said LSA senior Simon Goldberg. "The atmosphere is incredible. It's just like being in an arena." But Polk Wagner, Interfraternity Council president, disgreed saying students at other schools have been sharing spirit in a university- sponsored location for years. "We might as well get into the tradition of being together and cele- brating," Wagner said. "There's no reason that Michigan can't do this too." Despite planning, some students still believe a riot will occur if the Wolverines win a Final Four game. "Definitely, there will be a riot," said Jake Brown, an LSA first-year student. Goldberg agreed. "It'll be crazy. Because of what happened last year, more people will riot." Last year, AAPD officers tear- gassed a crowd of students-gathered in the streets to celebrate. If a celebration takes place this year, Harrison said he hopes it is safer than those in the past. "We all know the last two times we made it to the Final Four, we ended up having an ugly incident," Harrison said. "I've been here for two of these and we haven't done it right yet."

"We need to have proportional representation so that every person in Ann Arbor could have a vote," Raaflaub said. But Hanna-Davies, who is the di- rector of the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice, rejected this idea. She said Democrats should maintain a council majority in Ann Arbor be- cause they have been able to manage a tight budget. "It has been the current Demo- cratic majority in City Hall that has brought the city from a deficit to a surplus through careful management of money," Hanna-Davies said. But Raaflaub, who has other an- swers to the current economic situa- tion, said he wants to cut taxes by privatizing city services and reduc- ing city bureaucracy. He said the council needs to freeze hiring and cut everything in the budget that is "unnecessary." "Government tends to perpetuate itself and protect its own workers," Raaflaub said. "They protect jobs at the expense of raising taxes. As a way of tax relief, we need to priva- tize everything that needs to be pri- vatized." Hanna-Davies offered another method to save taxpayers' money - to focus on crime prevention rather than punishment. Hanna-Davies, who said she plans to take a lead on increasing funding for drug treatment to prevent crime, indicated that it costs $30,000 a year to incarcerate one person in jail for minor crimes. "We should be focused on pre- vention to save costs," Hanna- Davies said. "It is dangerous to focus on incarceration as preventing crime." Raaflaub said the city should make it easier for citizens to prevent crimes by allowing them to carry arms, specifying that women should be able to protect themselves from rape and assault. "Police cannot be at the* scene quick enough to always prevent a crime," Raaflaub said. Both candidates said they hope to get more students to voice their con- cerns with city government. "Students have a tremendous amount to offer and are sometimes not regarded as equal. It is a big loss. I believe in working with people and not over them," Hanna-Davies said. "In general, people who are under- age are under appreciated, disre- garded and undervalued. This is a big mistake." Raaflaub said he would like to bring "a greater amount of freedom to University students." "The University has few alterna- tive political thinkers. Students are the future. We need them to carry on the tradition of freedom in this coun- try," Raaflaub said. 0 0 0 YELTSIN Continued from page 1 They marched onto Red Square behind five tractors decorated with pictures of Yeltsin. What began as an enthusiastic rally in support of the president erupted into a mutual display of emotion when he appeared on a platform at the base of St. Basil's Cathedral while legislators voted on a motion to remove him. The crowd chanted his name and waved hundreds of white, blue and red Russian flags. "A Communist coup has failed. The people have won," he happily told the crowd. 0 The University of Michigan's Office of the Vice Provost for Minority Affairs and The Office of Minority Affairs presents....
