2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 2, 1994 RIVERS Continued from page 1 least two in the 13th Congressional District. "I've been taking resumes by the bushelful," Rivers said. Rivers probably won't fill her staffs until early January, she said, after receiving committee assign- ments later this month. "I will put a lot of staff in Michi- gan," River said. "As an elected offi- cial, I have always put a lot of stress on constituent services." Returning to Michigan next Wednesday, Rivers will join the lame duck session of the state Legislature in Lansing, where the House will take up the issue of assisted suicide once again. "I'm still the state rep from Ann Arbor," she said. While Rivers prepares for her pro- motion to national office, her parents, Bob and Ladeema Carruthers, said they are not surprised by Lynn's suc- cess in politics. "Not if you knew her, no," her mother said from their winter home in Inglewood, Fla. Mrs. Carruthers added that as a girl, her daughter "was good at any- thing she did, and still is." Rivers' father concurred. "She's been pretty single-minded about this," he said. The family is originally from Au Gres, a small town on the northern shore of Saginaw Bay. The Carruthers still spend their summers in Au Gres, but now winter in Inglewood. Au Gres residents are proud that one of their own has gone so far in public service, her parents said. Al- though an infusion of union retirees is changing the town's politics, Au Gres residents have traditionally been Re- publicans, including the Carruthers. Rivers said of her victory: "They talk about it, but then they add, 'You know, she's a Democrat."' "I'm glad (she won)," Mr. Carruthers joked, "even though we're usually on opposite sides of the fence." Rivers married her high school sweetheart, Joe, the day after gradua- tion. They moved to Ann Arbor, and Rivers eventually received her bachelor's degree from the Univer- sity. Rivers has been a state represen- tative since 1992. MANDATE Continued from page 1 "They don't necessarily try to keep students here once they get here," she said. "A lotof students feel unwanted." Clay said blatant discrimination is rare, but stereotyping and covert rac- ism are common on campus. "I think racism is definitely preva- lent. It's just more subtle, it gets insti- tutionalized," she said. Lisa Quiroga, president of Alianza, the Latino student alliance, said the progress of Latinos under the man- date should not please Duderstadt. "Duderstadt said he was happy with the progress of all minorities other than Blacks. He should have talked to the community because we are not happy with it," she said. Quiroga said Alianza currently is surveying Latino students about the environment on campus. She said re- sults are "overwhelmingly negative." She said the University needs to hire more Latino faculty and counse- lors. "It goes back to having a net- work of support at the University." Other student leaders said the lim- ited number of minority faculty mem- bers adversely affects the environment for minority students. Of professors who are tenured or on the tenure track, 13.1 percent are minorities. "I'm tired of hearing the same humdrum Anglo-Saxon, male, patri- archal perspective," Clay said. While Black and Latino progress remain a challenge for the University, Asian Americans have made large statistical gains under the mandate. Eighty-eight percent of Asian Americans graduate in six years. In 1988, the number of Asian American and Black students on campus was equal; today there are 706 more Asian American students on campus than Black students. Duderstadt attributed the dispar- ity between Black and Asian Ameri- can graduation rates to socioeconomic I B GN TE a M STUDENT W/D.H$4.00 EVENINGS +"BENEFIT AS A GOODRICH QUALITY E FREQUENT MOVIEGOER ~ BAGAINMATIEES 6PMALL SCREENS STEREO GAT Continued from page 1 that standard." Vern Terpstra, professor emeritus of international business, said pro- tests by Ralph Nader and others who claim the WTO will allow other coun- OF- tries to outvote the United States do not worry him. "The United States is a big market and that gives us a lot of influence in international organiza- tions. It is also possible for the United States to leave the WTO at any time." Terpstra calls GATT a "win-win situation," where all parties signing the agreement will benefit from greater exports, higher incomes and cheaper imports. On the whole, he predicts it will increase the general standard of living in all countries. U 11 DIon't get left in the cold!

"The reduced tariffs will make prices decline and the real income of the American go up," Moller said. "Industries that will be positively affected are construction, chemical and pharmaceutical. In Michigan, Dow and Upjohn will benefit from GATT." For the auto industry, Moller said he predicts only a modest or long- * term impact. "As tariffs are lowered elsewhere in the world, the export of vehicles may be expected to rise." The Uruguay round of GATT negiotiations - the most recent - inhavs for the first time addressed trade in service, and the agreement includes rules for services, such as financial and accounting services, TV, movies and computer software -areas with a U.S. comparative advantage. "GATT will give service compa- nies in the United States better access to foreign markets," said Prof. Gunter Dufey, who instructs on international business and finance. "The inclusion of intellectual prop- erty rights in the GATT is an issue that has been pushed by the United States," said Economics and Public Policy Prof. Robert M. Stern. "Ameri- can high-technology companies that have been selling products on foreign markets have not been guaranteed protection. Foreign companies have MOLIN Continued from page 2. Meanwhile, Molin's former du- ties will be diffused within the Office of University Relations. "We have a team of people including (Vice Presi- dent for University Relations Walter Harrison) and we also have experts," said Lisa Baker, associate vice presi- dent for University relations. Harrison's office took up the gov- ernment-relations responsibilities of Vice President for Government Rela- tions Richard L. Kennedy after his re- tirement earlier this year, a move Baker termed "a natural kind of evolution." Harrison said he will likely post the opening for the position sometime in January and hopes to have a re- placement in a couple of months. He said the month of December will be used to examine the position. "The first thing I'm going to do is talk to a lot of people about the sort of person we ought to be looking for and see if we're structuring our state rela- factors. "Most Asian students are com- ing from affluent families, most our African American students are from cities," he said last month. Edgar Ho, president of the United Asian American Organizations, agreed that most Asian Americans on campus come from affluent families, but said the University should also recruit disadvantaged Asian Ameri- cans. "A lot has to do with the diversity of the population. The Asian Ameri- cans on campus are not representative of the Asian American population in the United States," he said. Ho asserted that the University uses the success of Asian Americans as an excuse to ignore their needs as a group. He said stereotypes make it difficult for Asian Americans students to get academic support. "It seems like Asian American who come here feel isolated from the rest of the community, particularly in academic settings." been able to create similar products at a cheaper price." The industries that could be threat- ened by the GATT are the textile industries in the Carolinas. These are industries built around low technoo ogy, against which most countries can compete. "The presence of apparel, cloth- ing and footwear industries in the U.S. economy will be reduced," said Economics and Public Policy Prof. Alan V. Deardorff, but he said that the long-term drop in employment is will not be big and will be manageable. Deardorff and Stern estimate th only 0.2 percent of the work forc will be shifted into new industries over the 10-year phase-in of GATT. "The adjustments are very predict- able and over a long period of time." The agreement would give Ameri- can companies greater access to for- eign markets, including the Asian mar- ket, which, according to World Bank statistics, will dominate business iL the next century. Linda Lim, associate professor of international business, said, "Ameri- can companies, with emphasis on high technology, will benefit from this ac- cess to Asian markets." The reduction of tariffs will lower revenues collected by the government, which was a concern of some lawmak- ers, butSternpredicts that theincreased income from exports will compensat, for that reduction in tariff revenue. tions approriately," Harrison said. Molin said he expects his former position to change with his successor. "Those positions take on the shape of the person who is in it," he said. Molin added that the position would have likely changed anyway following the recent elections. "You have as a result of last month's electioS a very different government," he said. "You need to blend the institution's agenda with the agenda of those in the state and federal government." Molin said he will not be involved in finding a replacement. "I have long preached the gospel that when you leave, you leave. You don't pick your successor, and stuff like that, because it's just not right.'g Molin said he was confident he could make the transition from gov- ernment relations to athletics. "The department has been one of the real assets we had to draw on" when rep- resenting the University, he said. Despite his lack of formal experi- ence in the department, Molin said, "I've been around athletics all my life." t ,J The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the tall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
