2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 12, 1994 CLINTON Continued from page 1 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. MSA Continued from page 1 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." Working for the Daily is an experience that everyone should try. 764-0552 DEMS Continued from page 1 "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 IRAQ Continued from page 1 ment is we had an excellent chance to. 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. COOKIES "Baked with Love... Just the way your Sweetie Likes It" 715 N.

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. 4 if The Investment Banking Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. cordially invites University of Michigan students of all majors to attend an information session on the Financial Analyst Program Goldman Sachs' Financial Analyst Program offers exposure to a broad range of industries and transactions, a high level of responsibility and client interaction in a collegial work environment.
