lican leadership. Why? So we
wouldn't be able to stand up here and
celebrate the passage of Superfund."
Clinton continued, "It is wrong
when a senator of the other party can
filibuster lobbying reform, which we
have worked on so hard for so long,
and then walk off the floor of the
United States Senate and be cheered
by a crowd of lobbyists for killing it.
But it happened."
But Clinton saved his harshest
rhetoric for the Republican Contract
with America, signed two weeks ago
on the Capitol steps by 350 GOP
congressional candidates.
In the contract, Republicans say
they will cut taxes, increase defense
spending, pass a balanced-budget
amendment and implement tort re-
form within the first 100 days of a
Republican Congress.

can get a few thousand (from MSA),
we'll find a way to make due."
MSA also passed a resolution to
put the question of AATU funding on
its November ballot. The ballot ques-
tion reads, "Shall the MSA fee be
increased by $0.25, effective at the
beginning of the Winter term of 1995,
for the exclusive purpose of funding
the Ann Arbor Tenants' Union?"
Any fee increase for the tenants'
union would have to be approved by
the University's Board of Regents
"If you read the contract, it's not
a contract with America," Clinton
said. "It's a contract on America."
Clinton said it was an unfunded tril-
lion-dollar promise Republicans
could not keep.
Clinton concluded his speech with
an analogy: "It's not so different build-
ing a country than it is building a car."
He said both required keeping an eye
on the past, working together and
thinking about tomorrow.
Mustang engineer Sued Ahmad
was not impressed.
"I think he's lying again, the way
he did 20 months ago when he's
elected," Ahmad said. "We were much
better off before he got in office."
Most autoworkers had a lukewarm
response to the president's speech.
"It was all right," Edward Carter
said. He would not elaborate.
"I hope it meant something more
for those kids," said Robert Snow,
gesturing to the waiting members of
before taking effect.
Maurer said she was pleased MSA
put the question on the ballot, and felt
"confident it will pass." She told the
assembly that AATU supporters had
been collecting signatures for a stu-
dents' initiative to put the question on
the ballot.
Because the budget passed, the
assembly may now resume normal
business, including funding to stu-
dent groups.
MSA also ratified its decision to
hire the lobbying firm of Cawthorne,
McCollough, and Cavanagh to repre-
sent students in Lansing.
the Dearborn High School March-
ing Band. "Jobs like what we have
today are gone. They're not coming
back."
Some in the crowd were much
more enthusiastic.
"I thought it was very impres-
sive," said autoworker Roy Granger,
who shook Clinton's hand after the
speech.
"In 1989-1990, we didn't have a
lot ofjobs," Granger said. "Now, he's
saying it's pickin' back up, takin' a
lot of people off welfare - I like
that."
And from listening to autoworkers,
Republicans may have a tough time
winning traditionally Democratic
union votes this fall.
Granger said, "I think the Repub-
licans are more for the rich people,
not the poor. And Democrats, they're
more for the working man." He said
he'll vote a straight Democratic bal-
lot in November.
After leaving the Dearborn plant,
Clinton met separately with execu-
tives of the Big Three automakers and
United Auto Workers officials in
Detroit.
The Mustang, which Ford had
considered discontinuing in the late
1980s, has become a prominent sym-
bol of Detroit's comeback.
Dearborn Assembly Plant spokes-
man Bill Carroll said employees are
currently working overtime and Sat-
urdays to fulfill demand for the sporty
cars.
"We planned to do about 135,000
per year at capacity. We go along to a
point now where we're doing about
200,000 a year," Carroll said.
Yesterday, Clinton, the owner of a
vintage 1967 Mustang, sat in one of
the gleaming new models just off the
line.
Perhaps he was looking for the
same sort of revival for the Demo-
cratic Party.
College Dems chair .
heading to D.C. to
meet with president
By MAUREEN SIRHAL
For the Daily
It's every College Democrat's
dream - a chance to hobnob with
Washington's elite, especially the
president.
Robin Evans, a LSA senior, was
invited by the Democratic National
Committee to participate in "Michi-
gan Day" tomorrow at the White
House.
Evans is co-chair of the College
Democrats and has participated ac-
tively in the Democratic Party. She
has been chosen to represent the
University's Democrats at the event.
"I'm very excited. It's an honor
to represent the College Democrats,"
she said. According to Evans, she
will represent the University in a
number of meetings with state offi-
cials and business leaders as the
White House tries to gain support
for President Clinton's agenda.
Her day will begin with a lu
cheon with David Wilhelm, the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, followed by a series of
meetings with officials from the
White House, Congress and the state.
To end the monumental day,
Evans will attend a reception hosted
by the president at the White House.
She expressed the importance of
the coming four-day trip. "Our mes-
sage is being heard: our concern A*
the students. That is what I will be
talking about. We're not the genera-
tion that doesn't care," Evans said.
Because students will be one of
the main focuses in the upcoming
election, Evans said her participa-
tion will be important. "Certainly
(this is) very rewarding. This is an
exciting year to be involved in Col-
lege Democrats."

"This is not a campaign event," he
said, "this is a Ford event."
It was a graphic illustration of the
problems the party faces during the
mid-term elections. Normally, a sit-
ting president would be flanked by
his party's candidates for offices from
dog-catcher to governor.
But yesterday, Clinton spoke alone.
He did give a good stump speech.
He delivered a spirited defense of his
economic record, citing the decline of
unemployment and America's contin-
ued economic growth. He tried to draw
a clear line between himself and his
political opponents, and blamed them
for the death of several of his policies.
But for Michigan Democrats the

get lifting or easing, say, in a six-
month time period," Ekeus said. "Now
the trust in Iraq may be undermined
by the steps they took."
Russia and France, two of the five
permanent Security Council mem-
bers, were prepared to give Iraq a
public pat on the back for its coopera-
tion in the weapons dismantling as
the first diplomatic step toward eas-
ing sanctions, which bar all imports
from and exports to Iraq except for
food and medicine.
stakes are too high to take the risk of
campaigning alongside the president.
Many Democratic candidates have
distanced themselves from Clinton
and emphasized their independence.
The president was campaigning
for himself.
In Oct. 1990, by contrast, during
the last mid-term election, then-Presi-
dent George Bush couldn't be in
enough places at once. He enjoyed
immense, though temporary, approval
from voters, and Republican candi-
dates wanted to latch on.
A Detroit Free Press/WXYZ poll
released yesterday, however, showed
Clinton enjoys only a 46 percent ap-
proval rating from Michigan residents.
And another poll this week
commisioned by the Detroit News
indicates thateven those Michiganians
that approve of the president aren't
overwhelmed.
To improve the chances of Demo-
cratic candidates, Clinton must con-
vince voters his policies are behind the
strength of the recent economic upturn.
Clinton has in the past strayed
from his presidential campaign man-
tra, "It's the economy, stupid!" and
yesterday's speech seemed to signal a
return to this theme.
It is a political maxim that the
party in power, especially the party in
the White House, will get the praise
or blame for economic conditions,
responsible or not.
Clinton came out swinging yes-
terday. He didn't mince words when
speaking his mind about Republican
opposition on issues such as health
care and election reform. He looked,
once again, like "The Comeback Ki"
It's the fact the Clinton once aga
has to "come back" that Democrats
like Carr are behind the eight-ball, not
the president.
GRIEVANCE
Continued from page 1
records that he obtained, Moore said
several parts of the process need revi-
sion. He said grievances take too long
to resolve. Currently, a faculty mem-
ber has 180 days to file a complaint,
and a dean must form a review board
to handle the case within 30 days.
Moore's records show that the
dean takes 201 days on average to
form the review board. The board
usually then takes about a year to
reach a decision.
"Faculty members are almost al-
ways denied if they miss the dead-
line," he said. "The schools and col-
leges, and the central administration
regularly take more time than is speci-
fied."
"In thinking about grievance pro-
cedures, I think it is important to
recognize that it is only one measure
of dispute resolution," said Kay
Dawson, assistant to the provost.
Perley said to reach the highest
levels of a grievance review repre-
sents failure. "Any good grievance
procedure operates on the assump-
tion that it is desirable to resolve con-
flicts at the lowest possible levels."
Moore also said that adean should
automatically form a grievance re-
view board upon receiving a com-
plaint. Currently, regulations about
forming a review board are unclear,
and a dean may refuse to form th
board if the time deadline has passe
"The deans have a clear conflict of
interest and should not be deciding if
a grievance goes forward," he said.
Moore said he also felt the conclu-
sion of the review board should be
binding, instead of only a recommen-
dation. The University of Washing-
ton is currently the only peer institu-
tion where decisions must be imple-
mented.

who are in trouble, you need the cour-
age to face the opposition of your
family and friends," she told the audi-
ence.
Recalling her difficult childhood
experiences during World WarI, Gies
said she learned that people in trouble
did not always deserve it. "Educaton
is the best way to improve the world.
Children learn from us that people do
not get what they deserve," she said
She called the people she hid "true
heroes." Of herself, she said, "People
sometimes call me a hero. I don't
want that. The people in hiding were
the brave ones."
She described Anne Frank as spir-
ited. Gies recalled her morning ritual
of going to the hiding place. "Anne
would say in a cheerful tone, 'Hi,
what's the news?"' Gies said.
Gies added that she was struck
most by Anne's maturity and curios-
ity. "Talking to Anne gave you the
surprising impression of talking to a
much older person."
To this day, Gies,'now 85, has a
difficult time dealing with the horror
that befell the Franks. She described
her reaction to the anniversary of the
day they were taken by the Gestapo.
"Every year on the 4th of August
I close my curtains and do not answer
the doorbell and telephone," she said.
Gies said that for some time shm
hated all Germans and Austrians fo
the atrocities the Nazis committed.
However, one day a group of Ger-
mans came to see the hiding place of
the Franks and as she was about to
throw them out she learned some-
thing that changed her attitude.
"I was told that these German
people had been in concentration
camps themselves for their opposi-
tion to the Nazis."
Now Gies lives by the words of
Otto Frank, "We should not lump
people together. We should look at
them individually."
Gies is the fifth recipient of the
award named after Raoul
Wallenberg, who graduated from the
University in 1935 and helped save
thousands during the Holocaust.
