2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 12, 1994 Write for The Michigan Daily this summer. Mass meeting Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at 420 Maynard CODE Continued from page 1 An Entr6e Plus card was stolen by a female undergraduate. The woman admitted to stealing and us- ing the card. She was sanctioned to restitution and received a formal reprimand. A male undergraduate was al- leged to have possessed a knife in a residence hall. A minor at the time, he allegedly was under the influence of alcohol. The student accepted responsibility for possessing the knife, but denied that he was under the influence of alcohol. The administrative hearing officer found the man responsible on both counts. He received a formal letter of reprimand as a sanction. In a case off campus, a male undergraduate was alleged to have harassed his housemates. The man neither admitted or denied respon- sibility and chose to have his case heard by a mediator. After mediation, the man agreed to move out of his home. BYLAW Continued from page 1 "Our report is finished and given to the president; what he does at this point is up to him," said School of Dentistry Dean Bernard Machen, who chaired the task force. Machen said he feels the advisory report offers fair suggestions. Ryan Bradley, an RC sophomore who works in the Lesbian Gay Male Programs Office, agreed. "Given the charge that they were given... they're doing theright thing," he said of the task force members. Bradley said he felt the University would have to follow the suggestions Because you can't pt it all in your backpack... EURUPE We specialize in student and faculty travel to Europe!

"You can't put a price tag on jus- tice anyway," he said, adding that the dollar amounts mentioned in the re- port were not large. Bradley was referring to the task force's cost estimates, based on fig- ures from other colleges and univer- sities with similar policies. The report estimated the financial implications of extending benefits to same-sex couples at between $100,000 and $250,000. Currently, the University spends around $260 million on ben- efits. Specifically, the task force rec- ommended that all medical and den- tal benefits now granted to employ- ees' spouses and children beextended to homosexual employees' children and partners, and that same-sex couples be given access to family housing. The task force suggested a mecha- nism for documenting that employ- MSA Continued from page 1. The Election Court errors include not holding an open hearing on the proposed constitution, not having a summary of the proposed changes at the poll site and not posting the con- stitution in the offices of the Central Student Judiciary (CSJ), the court governing MSA. CSJ Associate Chief Justice Eu- gene Bowen, also a member of The Michigan Daily's editorial staff, said at the hearing the Election Court did make mistakes. "We're new and we overlooked it. That was our mistake. No one else is to blame but us," Bowen said. The new constitution had at- tempted to solve the problem of inex- perience on the court by appointing the justices for the entire time they are a student at the University. Justices now serve for one-year, staggered terms. During the hearing, Bowen said the Election Court had not held the required open hearing, which former MSA Vice President Brian Kight dis- puted. "I'm somewhat amazed by the tes- timony of (Bowen) because I was at a meeting that I was under the impres- sion was the hearing for the petition SACUA Continued from page 1 Stein would not comment on her reasons for resigning, but said she did not make the decision until after the March 21 election. At the last SACUA meeting, the committee decided to generate a list of women eligible to fulfill the va- cancy left by Stein. The list of candi- dates was not discussed at yesterday's meeting before appointing Blair. SACUA member Ronald Lomax made a motion that the incoming member be the next highest vote get- ter from the lastelection, which turned out to be Blair. If confirmed, he will serve for one of Stein's two remain- ing years on the committee. Blair said he was inclined to ac- cept the position, but he will first discuss the issue with SACUA Chair Henry Griffin. "Since I was not elected, I was asked to serve on the Budget Study Committee. My serving on SACUA would probably be contingent on my decision to resign from that," he said. ees and students who claim benefits for theirsame-sex partners are in com- mitted relationships. The task force recommended re-0 quiring the couples to register their domestic partnership, and predicted that most couples would choose to register in Ann Arbor. Machen explained that couples in Flint and Dearborn could register in Ann Arbor as well. "I don't anticipate anyone having a problem with that," he said. The task force also recommended* that same-sex couples be treated just like married couples for student poli- cies such as residency status, health insurance and eligibility for athletic tickets. Allocation of financial aid, the task force found, is already in compli- ance with the amended bylaw. "It's a complicated process,' Machen said, "but at best we can figure out, (family status and sexual orientation) don't play a part." wording," Kight said. "They made it clear to me at the time that they con- sidered it an open meeting and now they're saying something else." Bowen said the MSA Compiled Code is a confusing document, mak- ing it hard to follow the procedures In addition, Bowen said this is onl@ the second election for the court. "There are five of us on the court and no one person can make the entire decision for the court," Bowen said. Public Health Rep. Meg Whittaker, who supported Lee's suc- cessful opposition to the constitution, said the assembly should work to high- light the applicable code sections for the court. "They completely ignored all the rules, but they didn't know any bet- ter," Whittaker said. Yesterday's decision will also cause changes in the business of the assembly. The new constitution gave the president the power to appoint com- mittee chairs with MSA approval, while the present constitution cal[l for elections for these positions. The assembly had planned to ap- prove Neenan's appointments ,at tonight's meeting, but Neenan said the assembly will wait until next week's meeting to elect the commit- tee chairs. Next winter, the Senate Assembly will elect a new member to the board for another one-year term. "I think that (choosing Blair) fol- lows the will of the assembly by pick- ing a person who truly received the votes," said SACUA member Charles Smith. SACUA member Jon Birge, the lone dissenter, questioned whether' the predominantly male board will be responsive to the concerns raised by female faculty. "I'm not sure people were voting with this in mind. I'm not sure that this is representative of what people want," Birge said. Smith said women should be en- couraged to run in the next election. He asserted that SACUA will remain committed to women's issues despite the fact that the board now contains only one female member. "There is a fallacy here. Appoint- ing a woman or a minority to a com- mittee does not mean we get someone supporting women or minority issues. I think the current group of SACUA members is very supportive -of women's issues," Smith said. Diversified Portfolios What is a global investment bank's single most valuable asset?
