2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 23, 1994 CODE Continued from page 1 articles in the Daily had threatened to sue both the University and the Daily. One such article detailed the theft of a tree. In November, University Depart- ment of Public Safety officers appre- hended seven students stealing a tree near the Coliseum. The students were charged with theft by University police. The students were also separately charged under the code for theft. While the University wanted to keep the names of the accused confidential, the names had already been released by the police. To further avoid such disclosures, the University has decided to keep the details of code cases locked away. _ This latest move has been met with criticism from both members of the Board of Regents and students. Regent Rebecca McGowan (D- Ann Arbor) said she was surprised by the decision and that she expected to be informed officially soon. "I was under the impression that if I wanted to, I could walk into the Office of Student Services (sic) and say 'I want to read about the code,' and now I can't." McGowan was hesitant to say that the University was in violation of the code until she "had heard the University's side." But Brian Kight, MSA vice presi- dent, said he believes the University is in blatant violation of the code." "The Office of Student Affairs has unilaterally decided to keep private these records. It is the public's loss, not just the Daily's." Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Ar- bor) said this development was "un- expected." "It is clear that the University will have to look at some kind of disclo- sure which will protect privacy," Power said. But he added that he has not "formed a view on the issue" be- cause he had not learned of the change until yesterday. University officials claim that former editors of the Daily entered into an agreement not to publish names. Lew Morrissey, the University's Freedom of Information officer, said he was under the impression that the editors of the Daily had entered into an agreement not to print the names of students brought up under the code. Former Daily Editor in Chief Josh Dubow, said the then-editors had "never made any such agreement." SEARCH Continued from page I. The Feb. II ruling by Washtenaw County Circuit Court Judge Patrick Conlin stemmed from a Sept. 29 Michigan Supreme Court ruling that declared the presidential search "ille- gal." In denying the request for the docu- ments, the University's FOIA officer, Lew Morrissey, cited reasons of pri- vacy and that Conlin's order prohib- ited disclosure of the documents to the Daily, or any other media outlets. Morrissey and other University officials have read Conlin's order as a "penalty" to be "paid" to the News and the Free Press. He said no other media organiza- tion requested the documents during the lawsuit. Morrissey said University attor- neys made the decision two weeks ago not to appeal the order. "The University attorneys decided not to appeal the decision; they could have." Under an agreement reached with the University, neither the News nor the Free Press will publish any of the records until Saturday. ELECTIONS Continued from page 1 Brown said he voted for candi- dates from the Michigan Party and the Students' Party, based on cam- paign literature. Tomica Williams, an LSA senior who has voted in most MSA elec- tions, said she voted for the DO Party because of its views. "It's going for no racism and equality through cam- pus," Williams said. Business junior Mike Beaton said he voted for candidates from the Stu- dents' Party."I voted specifically be- cause I know some representatives running," Beaton said. LS A sophomore Lindse Winegarden voted for the first time in this election. "A bunch of my friends are run- ning," Winegarder said."Ireally don't know much about (MSA) at all." Winegarden said she voted for can- didates from the Outsider Party. Poll workers include members of student organizations and MSA repre- sentatives not running in this electiog Many student organizations stat the poll sites to raise money for their groups.

Rackham Rep. Janelle White then made a motion to extend constitu- ents' time, but Greenberg failed to recognize her. Following this, the meeting split in half, with AATU supporters on one side of the room and the rest of the assembly on the other. LSA Rep. Brian Clune made a motion to suspend the rules, which takes a two-thirds vote, to consider recalling MSA's appointees to the AATU board. Clune's motion failed in a 13-7 vote. RC junior Donna Bryan, a mem- ber of Queer Action, said she is con- cerned about the issue. "If these members continue to be on the AATU board, you're going to find a lot of resistance among your constituents," she said. Public Health Rep. Meg Whittaker said AATU needs to accept the mediator's report. She said the lef wing representatives on MSA need work to have more liberals appointed to AATU's board. "They beat us to the punch and we're going to have to learn to live with it," she said. AATU supporters continued gath- ering, and Greenberg attempted to continue with the meeting. But in the beginning of the agenda, House mad a motion to adjourn the meeting. Greenberg said since no one ob- jected, the meeting was adjourned. "The meeting would not have been adjourned if people were paying at- tention," Greenberg said. "It's a shame that people don't respect the order of the meeting."

The term "gangsta rap" is often used to refer to rap music with violent or sexist lyrics and has spurred na- tionwide debate and media attention. Panelist David Bomar, a graduate of Eastern Michigan University and active volunteer in Detroit's inner city, commented that the definition of this term has been blurred. "'Gangsta rap' is a title that has been put on every type of rap," he said. "All rap is not 'gangsta rap."' The discussion began with each panelist answering one or two prear- ranged questions concerning issues such as media attention, violent lyrics and community response to rap music. Most agreed that while negative images of African Americans in gen- eral - specifically African American women - do exist in rap, the words merely signify larger societal problems. "Music for African Americans has been a way to express their hopes and beliefs since being brought to th' country," said panel member an School of Nursing Prof. Elizabeth Allen. "Right now African American youths are in extreme crisis." Another panelist, LSA senior Ain Boone, agreed. "You can'tjustchange the music and expect to change the people," she said. In the second hour of the program, audience members commented an asked questions. Most speakers v calized views similar to those of the panelists. "Rap is being scape-goated," one man said. "We're talking about the symptom and not the problem," added another. One woman complained that no rap music was played during the dis-, cussion. The only comment that receiv* resounding applause, however, was made by a woman expressing her personal decision to use the word "bitch" regardless of gender or race. "A bitch is a bitch," she said. hmm~~m ®s A NEW COMEDY FROM THE DIRECTOR OF "BACKDRAFT" AND "PARENTHOOD."

But if Michigan wins Friday, we may have to put out some extra patrols Saturday." Police also are prepared to deal with larger outbreaks of violence. Under a county-wide mutual aid pact, officers from other departments would assist in quelling serious disruptions. But tear gas and batons aren't the only weapons against post-game vio- lence. MSA and University officials are cooperating on events beginning Friday to provide alternatives to drunken post-game revelry. "We want to provide a support mechanism for the team that people want to do instead of going out and getting blitzed," said Vice President for University Relations Walter Harrison. "We did a similar thing last year, but we didn't sit down and plan it until about four days before (th tournament)." MSA, city, University and police representatives first met last Tues- day. They will hold another meeting Monday morning. In a speech to the Ann Arbor City Council early yesterday, MSA city liaison Andrew L. Wright advertised the assembly's slate of "Michigan Madness" events. The events begin with food specials at the MUG and t Club on Friday and Sunday. During the Final Four tournament, "Michigan Madness" organizers plan to sponsorprize drawings, a rock band, free transportation, performances by the Michigan Marching Band and cheerleaders, and T-shirt giveaways.
