2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 31, 1994 DEBATE Continued from page 1. sible. We all know what happened with, 'Read my lips."' Abraham said he would pledge to never raise taxes. "It's people like Bob Carr who have been down in Washington raising taxes," he said. Abraham also pointed out how much money taxpayers send to Washing- ton. "In 1950, $1 for every $50 went toward taxes. Today, it's $1 for every $4," he said. Carr also claimed he would work to take the "pork out of projects." He said he would not cut Social Security or Medicare, but would target other entitlements. "We've got to protect the individual," Carr said. Abraham contested Carr's claims, saying that in last year's $500 billion budget deficit reduction package that Carr supported, there was a 56-per- cent cut in programs Carr said he would not cut. On more personal issues, includ- ing the negative campaigning that has at times soiled the race, both Carr and Abraham went on the offensive. Abraham defended a campaign ad that asserted that Carr would receive a $2 million pension upon retiring from Congress. Though the ad was changed last week omitting the $2 million claim, Abraham said, "I've run a campaign that's very issue-ori- ented. One of the issues in this cam- paign is Bob Carr's record." Carr called the claims false, and said he would have to live to be 111 years old to receive the $2 million pension. He said he will receive $18,000 a year. "It raises the issue of integrity in this campaign. Mr. Abraham is prone to back-room, dirty politics.... He finally made a mistake and over- reached in a factually inaccurate way and he admitted it," Carr said. During much of the debate, Carr and Abraham spoke at the same time, sometimes over the panel of journal- ists at the debate held at WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) in Southfield, in an effort to drive home campaign themes. Snide remarks came from both candidates, with Carr at one moment COUNCIL Continued from page 1 the veto power. Sheldon last summer overruled the council on a third-party review of the city's Materials Recov- ery Facility, and earlier this month on allowing left turns onto Oakway Drive. Democrats now hold a 7-4 major- ity on City Council. Under a worst- case scenario for the party, they would lose the 3rd Ward and 5th Ward, giv- ing the majority to the GOP. But such a scenario is unlikely. telling Abraham: "I'm getting a little sick of you talking about things that aren't so." When Carr was outlining his posi- tion on tax trends and spending cuts, Abraham remarked, "Here we go with the history lesson." Last night's debate marked the final chance for the two candidates to discuss issues together before next Tuesday's election. Both will be criss- crossing the state this week-includ- ing making stops in Ann Arbor - as they head for the finish line. - The Associated Press contributed to this report. Both wards traditionally vote Democratic, and Democratic chal- lenger Stephen Hartwell stands a fair chance of winning the 4th Ward from Republican Julie Creal. Hartwell projects himself as a mod- erate Democrat, in the mold of 4th Ward Councilmember Peter Nicolas. His opponent, Kathryn Renken, op- posed Nicolas last year for his seat in the most bitterly fought campaign for council. The race between Renken and Hartwell is more subdued, although both parties have a heavy stake in the outcome. Incumbent Democrat Tobi Hanna- Davies - arguably the most liberal memberof City Council -will likely carry the 1st Ward over independent challenger Andrew Wright, an LSA sophomore. Incumbent Republican Jane Lumm, who faces no Democratic op- position in the 2nd Ward, will likely win for second term. That leaves the 3rd Ward as the linchpin race. The nominally Democratic ward has often played the wild card in Ann Arbor poli- tics, and neither major-party can- didate holds a substantial edge in this year's race. ST WARD; Continued from page 1 tial areas as well as from students. He said Hanna-Davies "hasn't kept; in contact with large areas of the ward." Wright decided to run after serv- ing as a City Council liaison. "When7 you see the inefficiency, you develop a rage," he said. "A lot of issues with the Univer- sity could easily be solved," he said. REWARD Continued from page 1 eventually helped find the boy's killer. Weiser called the latest increase in reward funding "something that had to be done." "We checked with the task force to find out whether they thought it would be helpful or would it be a hindrance. They said that they felt that a reward of that size could be very helpful," Weiser said. Other pledges were initially made by the Ann Arbor Apartment Asso- ciation, Domino's Pizza Inc., the News and the Neighbors of Eberwhite Woods ---acity park where one of the rapist's victims was attacked. The suspect is described as a Black male with a light complexion, ap- proximately six feet tall, about 170 pounds, between 25 and 35 years old, with short hair and a ponytail or tuft of hair at the back of his neck. He was last seen wearing a short- sleeved, light purple "polo-type" knit "It's just a matter of getting together with the right people." He mentioned the issue of whether the University or the city will pay for the Fuller Road expansion as one ex- ample of a problem that could be resolved without any great difficulty. Hanna-Davies agrees that the City Council needs to work with the right people. "I'd like to see David Stead elected mayor.... David is a leader at getting@ people together to find acceptable solutions." shirt and blue jeans. Within the last two weeks, 21 in- vestigators from four different agen- cies, including the University's De- partment of Public Safety, have worked full-time on leads about the attacks. The task force has to date received@ more than 900 tips, 200 of which were a result of the latest assault. The tips have led the team to investigate more than 500 potential suspects, 210 of whom have been cleared. Task-force members have also begun canvassing the area where the attacks occurred to see if new infor- mation about the serial rapist can be discovered. Also, they are informing* citizens in those areas of their ef- forts. Weiser's concern for his commu- nity also sparked his involvement. "I don't know if you've everexpe- rienced fear, it's not a very pleasant feeling," Weiser said. "A lotof women in this community are experiencing it now. That'snot something they should have to go through." ) AUSTRALIA Q CANADA 0 CHILE 0 CHINA © CZECH REPUBLIC 0 o 0o The University of Michigan 313 764 4311 tel z .

The regents' ordinance has bogged down the prosecutor's office with minor infractions, critics claim. "We deal with a broad spectrum of problems. The most serious being rapes and murder, the least being things covered in the U-M ordinance. We have a very limited staff here. The more time we have to deal with serious crime, the happier we are," Burke said. The prosecutor's office is compelled to investigate all misdemeanor charges. In addition to making the offenses civil infractions, the proposal also would create new regulations. The proposal would make posses- sion or consumption of alcohol in the Arboretum a civil offense. "That change is being made based on rec- ommendations from the School of Natural Resources, which manages the Arboretum," Baker said. The change also would prohibit unauthorized people from entering the playing field of any athletic event at the University while the event is in progress or for a reasonable time be- fore and after. In addition, the proposal would require animals broughton campus to be leashed and held by the person responsible for them. Exceptions to this include animals used for handi- cap assistance purposes or Univer- sity-sponsored research. Representatives from the University's General Counsel Office, Department of Public Safety and School of Natural Resources and the Environment drafted the changes. The University will post changes for public review today in the Univer- sity Record and tomorrow in The Michigan Daily., Suggested changes will be pro- posed to the Campus Safety and Se- curity Advisory Committee, which will review the proposal. Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Farris W. Womack will for-- ward the proposal to the regents. "One of our objectives is to have this out long enough so people can comment," Baker said. Over the summer, two editors o4 the University's Gargoyle magazine were charged by DPS with selling baci issues of the magazine on the Diag during Hash Bash in violation of the regents' ordinance. But the editors had been encour- aged by David Friedo, Student Publi- cations manager and a University employee, to sell the magazines to raise money for the magazine. The Board for Student Publica- tions - a University oversight board - oversees the finances of the Daily, the Gargoyle and the Michiganensian yearbook. The case went to court May 24, but before the trial began, Judge Timo- thy Connors granted Burke's motion to dismiss the case. At the time, DPS Associate Direc-, tor Robert Pifer said he was unaware. of the regents' bylaw that gives au- thority to the Board for Student Pub- lications. And Friedo said he was unaware of the existence of regula- tions over the sale of student publica- tions. Michigan Student Assembly Presi- dent Julie Neenan, a member of the Campus Safety and Security Advi- sory Committee, said she feels the* new penalties are more reasonable, but does not like the hike in parking fines. Neenan said she does not think the lower penalties will increase these offenses. "I don't think it's going to have much of an effect on behavior. It's just going to change the conse- quences," she said.
