2- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 1, 1994 COURT Continued from page 1 But a magazine called "Wide Awake: A Christian Perspective at the University of Virginia" was denied 5,862 in publishing fees by the stu- dent council because it was deemed a "religious activity." The council relied on university guidelines in refusing the subsidy. The magazine, founded Ay undergraduate Ronald Rosenberger, is published three times during the year and distributed free on campus. Backers of "Wide Awake" pointed out that other religiously oriented groups, such as the Muslim Students Association and the Jewish Law Stu- dents Association, had their activities and publications subsidized. The uni- versity defended those subsidies as "cul- tural activities," not religious ones. "Because 'Wide Awake' is ajour- nal pervasively devoted to the discus- sion and advancement of an avow- edly Christian theological and per- sonal philosophy," the university may not subsidize it, the appeals court said. It cited the First Amendment's ban on laws fostering an "establish- ment of religion." T i T he w orlid's a r g est s tu de n t a nd yo u th t r a vel org an iz a ti on.

Bryan Graham, local spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refu- gees, said about 12,000-13,000 Serb civilians had fled the fighting and 9,000 alone were in the town of Bosanski Petrovac. Some were in corridors and basements of overcrowded buildings. Silajdzic said he hoped the battle- field victories would bring the Serbs to the negotiating table. A perception of coming victory may make the Bosnian government reconsider its acceptance of the peace plan. "I am very satisfied with the re- sponse among the fighters, with their ever-increasing morale, and the excep- tional support among the people," the Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA quoted Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic as saying. "The international community, es- pecially America, is tolerating the Mus- lim offensive, which is why we had to mobilize all our manpower, economic and other resources to defeat the Mus- lim forces as soon as possible," he said. 6 BOOTS K BOOTS K BOOTS We have the largest selection of winter boots.

Liberty 2 Blocks off of State The radio, in a report confirmed by the United Nations, said rebel Serbs from neighboring Croatia joined forces with the Bosnian Serbs and launched artillery attacks on several government-held towns in northwest- ern Bosnia. The United Nations reported a mass- ing of armor and troops in Croatian Serb territory near the Bihac area. The fiercest combat raged in north- western Bosnia, where government forces continued a two-pronged offen- sive that has gained 100 square miles. Government troops reached Kulen Vakuf, 21 miles south ofBihac. Other units renewed an assault on the Serb- held town of Bosanska Krupa, which they surrounded Saturday. U.N. peacekeepers also confirmed that government troops south of Sarajevo had advanced about two miles toward Trnovo, a town strad- dling a vital supply route linking the main portion of Serb-held territory with relatively isolated southernmost Bosnia. Lt. Col. Tim Spicer, a spokesman for peacekeepers, said government forces had not taken any sections of road yet, but were close enough to disrupt traffic. There was no Bosnian army com- ment on the Serb claim about use of the tunnel. In apparent retaliation for the at- tacks, Serbs have shelled the govern- ment-held suburb of Hrasnica. Three people have been killed and 23 wounded in three days of shelling. FIRES Continued from page 1] officials said someone seeking re- venge may have started the blaze.

Christie pointed out that both stations can be heard on campus., Christie said the campaign then made the decision to accept invita- tions to two private "voter-contact" events tonight, including one in Ann Arbor, which former Michigan foot- ball coach Bo Schembechler is ex- pected to attend., it's extremely frustrating. But I think what we had last night was a group of people ... who were intent on starting* fires, and obviously they did,' McKinnon said. "When you have people bent up on committing this kind of destruction, it's very diffi- cult." McKinnon also dismissed the criti- cism that the authorities had not done enough to get the community orga- nized against Devil's Night. McKinnon said he would be out pa-0 trolling last night to prevent a recur- That reasoning hasn't made Schall's withdrawl any more palat- able to organizers of tonight's event. "(This) is extremely disappoint- ing to us because they had confirmed twice," Boyer said. "The Schall cam- paign selected the date around which all the other candidates have formed@0 their schedules." Rivers charged Schall with duck- ing the forum for political reasons. "His withdrawl is particularly tell- ing," Rivers said, "given his attack pieces have begun to appear around the district and given they are riddled with inaccuracies." Schall could not be reached for comment last night. Boyer said this was the only such event for the congressional race. "This is the only live debate with all five candidates that the general public is invited to," she said. "He's frustrated our mission to get a fair and equal opportunity to evaluate the candidates."

Main, Ann Arbor 48104 Voters may want to pick up sample of complicated ballot, city clerk says 01 By KELLY MORRISON For the Daily Voters be forewarned: Ballots for next week'selections are much longer and more detailed than most voters might expect, says Ann Arbor City Clerk Winifred Northcross. The ballot includes six proposals and the names of 78 candidates. The two-sided ballot will be used to deter- mine Michigan's next governor as well as multiple congressional, state and local officials. Northcross encourages voters to prepare themselves before filling out the ballot. "Voters should understand that this is a very long ballot. Samples are available at thecity clerk's office," she said. Information regarding the ballot can also be obtained at the League of Women Voters, or by calling "your political party of preference," Northcross said. The ballot is divided into three sec- tions: partisan, nonpartisan and pro- posals. The partisan ballot lists candidates for Congress, state Legislature and state boards, including the eight can- didates vying for two seats on the University Board of Regents. The election will also determine the composition of the Washtenaw County Commission, the City Coun- cil and the next mayor of Ann Arbor. On the partisan ballot, voters will have the option of selecting a straight, mixed or split-party ticket, choosing from the Democratic, Republican, FUNDING Continued from page 2 Klein's prediction of a shortfall reaching $500 million, and possibly ranging as high as $1 billion in a few years, has caught the eye of more than a few candidates. Engler said he could guarantee there would be no shortfall in the final guber- natorial debate. "Governor, what you have done is put a $1 billion time bomb under the children of this state," Wolpe retorted. Liz Brater, the Democratic candi- date for the 53rd district state House seat, was more concerned about the source of the funding. "Our major goal is to make sure the money guaranteed is going to be there," she said. Kearney said the limited options if the shortfall materializes include moving more money from the state's general fund, which could impact state appropriations to public colleges, or raising taxes. Reforming public schools has also been a hot topic. Engler came into office proposing increasing parents' ability to choose where to send their kids to school. "I believe parents ought to have a choice," Engler said. Wolpe said, "I'm not questioning the value of private or religious schools. The issue is only whether the public's tax dollars should go to pri- Workers World, Libertarian and Natu- ral Law parties. The nonpartisan ballot will deter- mine the fates of various politicians vying forjudicial seats, including two seats on the state Supreme Court. A county proposal to limit taxed used to maintain parks is included on the ballot, followed by a city proposal to renew the millage currently used to renovate and improve parks. Several state proposals are also on the ballot. One item proposes the con- veningofa constitutional convention to revise the state Constitution. Other pro- posals include a limit in the number of appeals by a defendant, an amendment: to the state's auto insurance laws and an increase in funds allocated to theMichi- gan Natural Resources Trust Fund. vate or religious schools." Currently, under the Michigan Constitution, it is illegal to give any tax money to non-public schools. Engler has said he would neithert lead nor be part of an effort to change this provision, although he said the original amendment was too restric- tive when it was proposed while he was in the state Legislature. "If John Engler and his cohorts have their way, every sect, cult and religious off-shoot in the state will be standing in line to grab what they will stake out as their share of the public's hard-earned tax dollars," Wolpe said. Some don't have as big a problem 0 with everyone sharing state money. Marty Straub, the Republican candidate for the 52nd district state House seat, said theparents shouldbeable to choose. "I prefer to see this as we all have to fund education, the state gives stu- dents money and they choose how it will be best spent," he said. - is 1 !I FOL.
