2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 28, 1994 CODE Continued from page 1. the regents as a "partial victory." "This is a partial victory but the code is seriously flawed and it should not have been implemented," Kight said. Kight urged against making the code a permanent policy at the public comments part of the regents' meeting two weeks ago. "Making it a permanent policy sends the message that it is 100 percent OK and it should be left as is," he said. In an effort to ward off criticism that the code, once made a permanent policy, would become intractable, PresidentJames Duderstadt said, "that making the non-academic code of conduct a permanent policy "doesn't set the policy in stone.... Whether the policy is an interim or a permanent one, it will evolve." But Kight said the University should dump the entire policy. "Even with amendments, the University should not have this policy. We are opposed to codes of non- academic conduct because they inherently violate student rights," Kight said. Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen A. Hartford, an adamant ad- vocate for the code, said, "We all agree that this is not the language we want but it is workable." The code will continue as an interim policy until it will be re- evaluated again in April 1995. Two attempts to approve amendments failed when the University administration failed to convene a quorum of the student hearing panel. Regent Rebecca McGowan (D- Ann Arbor) said Friday's meeting should end students efforts to change the code. "It is not yet finished. The opportunity to amend it has not yet happened." Opponents to the code have cited that it fundamentally violates students rights and does not provide adequate due process. In addition, code opponents say the University fails to report enough information in order for students to monitor the process. Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) praised MSA members for voicing their opposition to the code and said, "This deals primarily with students and they should be given the opportunity to propose amendments." And now it is up to University students to once again pester the administration to get a quorum of the pool of jurors to show up. Whether they do, is anyone's guess.

"When we explain to people that we aren't looking for special rights, and tell them that in Michigan you can be fired, denied housing or public accommodations because of your sexual orientation, they change their minds about the proposed amend- ment," she said. MCHD is a coalition of state and national organizations concerned over the ballot initiative. Shapanka said that about 60 percent of the organiza- tions involved are gay-identified, but predicts that percentage will decrease as more people become involved. INN Continued from page 1 First Centrum proceed with the $4.6 million from the city at half the going rate. First Centrum Treasurer Nicholas Faber said the company decided to abandon its request in order to meet a state deadline for tax credits. To receive low-income housing tax credits, First Centrum had to sign an agreement with the city by March 1. Over Nicolas' objections, the council agreed to leave open the possibility of future subsidies for the project. Before receiving any subsidies, First Centrum must set aside additional housing units for its lowest- income tenants. The compromise was hailed by most council members as an improvement over an earlier plan to hand out the parking subsidy without conditions. But Nicolas, noting the city's current woes over a five-year- old loan guarantee to the YMCA for Women's organizations, minority coalitions, and different religious groups are among the thirty-six orgay- nizations that make up MCHD. "Ba- sically anyone who has been attacked by the extreme right," Shapanka said. Kathy Hines, member of the Ann Arbor branch of MCHD, said she became involved with fighting the ballot initiative because of its rel- evance to her life. "It's very frightening to me that we could lose our rights - we don't* have that many rights to begin with," she said. Hines added that the amendment would not just affect lesbians, gays and bisexuals. "If they can take away the rights of one group of people, they can take away anyone's rights." Makousek could not be reached. housing, objected. "There's a good chance that ifyou leave the language in, then a future council could consider a subsidy," he said. "I'm just feeling uncomfortable that a future council would have to bail out the Ann Arbor Inn." Councilmember Tobi Hanna- Davies (D-1st Ward) said limited subsidies are justified for "this very special project." She lauded the guarantee between the city and First* Centrum reserving the inn for low- income tenants for 30 years. Ann Arbor will act as the go- between in the planned transfer of the inn from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to First Centrum in June. The city will buy the 11-story structure at the corner of Huron and Washington streets that the state repossessed after the inn's former owners declared bankruptcy. Construction on the project is expected to begin shortly after the transfer. According to schedule, the inn should be ready for occupancy in late 1994 or early 1995.

"It proves my point even further that this was a political move of the Michigan Party," Bodoh said. The Michigan Party's candidate for vice president, LSA Rep. Jacob Stern, defended the party. "We just feel that this is our constitution," Stern said. "Idon't think we kept anyone in the dark." Despite its timing, Kight denied the Michigan Party's proposal for a new constitution was simply a campaign move. "I've been on MSA for three-and- a-half years and I've been trying to do what I could to make changes to make MSA more effective," IFight said. The proposal may change the focus of the debate from the assembly's support of the Michigan Collegiate Coalition (MCC) and the Ann Arbor Tenant's Union. The Students' Party has announced its continued support for MCC and the AATU, while the Michigan Party has been critical of both. "I think (the Michigan Party is) trying to cloud the debate to take away from MCC and AATU," Bodoh said. "We'll try to keep the focus on the true issues, not the ones that are made up by the Michigan Party." Stern said the AATU and MCC will be issues in the campaign as the election approaches.
