r_ __ _ __ _ __ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ __ _ __ _ __ _ The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 11, 1996 - 9 LOCAL/STATE .tate House approves minimum-wag increase LANSING (AP) - How times change. Five months ago, state Republicans said in rsponse to Democratic calls for action on Michigan's minimum hourry wage that there was "nb'need to raise it. But now, with the November W1ttion approaching and a newly enacted feder- al increase, the GOP-controlled Legislature is hurrying through a Democratic bill.to lift the rate to $5.15 from $3.35. The House Human, Resources and Labor Committee yesterday approved the bill, 6-0, with Rep. Charles Perricone (R-Kalamazoo) passing on his vote. The entire House quickly followed, voting 94- 12 to pass the increase. The vote was capped by Democrats singing the lines "I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see," from the gospel hymn, "Amazing Grace.' Senate Majority Floor Leader Dan DeGrow (R-Port Huron) said that chamber also would probably pass the measure before lawmakers adjourn in three weeks. Jeff McAlvey, Gov. John Engler's lobbyist, said the governor was likely to sign the bill. Republicans acknowledged that their new- found interest in raising the minimum wage grew mostly from political concerns, rather than a change of heart about whether an increase would be helpful to workers and the economy. "We felt it was going to be an issue in the fall," said House Speaker Paul Hillegonds (R- Holland) who voted against the increase. He added that Republicans believe it was important to match the new federal rate. "It's not something I'm comfortable with," said Perricone, who also voted against the bill. "It's a prime example of election-season politics." Labor Committee Chairman Walter DeLange (R-Grand Rapids) believes raising the rate is unnecessary because only a maximum of 133,000 Michigan employees work for the state wage, and unwise because many of those work- ers could lose their jobs. But DeLange said he bowed to the wishes of other Republicans who began to push for an increase - particularly after President Clinton signed the federal legislation last month. DeLange and Hillegonds are not running for re- election this year. Tom Shields of Marketing Resource Group Inc., a Lansing-based firm which does consult- ing for Republicans, said the move was a smart one. "It will prevent the Democrats from using it as a campaign issue," he said.

LANSING (AP) - Elizabeth Dole charmed about 1,500 supporters yester- day with stories about her husband's childhood and private good deeds as she urged voters to decide the presiden- tial election on the candidates' charac- ter. Mrs. Dole stepped away from the speaker's platform and strolled the aisles around the crowd while empha- sizing virtues such as patriotism and love of God she said make up her hus- band's character. "This election is about the vision and values that will shape America as we move into the next century. It's about the character of the person who will lead us there" she said. And she said Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole's character is the reason voters can be sure he will cut income taxes 15 percent if he's elected. "He doesn't make a promise he doesn't intend to keep. You can take it to the bank when he says he is going to do it' she said. The stress on character was 4l reminder to voters of some of the issues that have dogged President Clinton's four years in office, including questions about an Arkansas land development known as Whitewater. Before speaking to workers and sup- porters on the plant floor at the Demmer Corp., Mrs. Dole took a short tour of the plant, a tool and dye manu- facturer for the automotive industry. Afterward, she got rave reviews. "I think she was wonderful," said Elizabeth Bogusz of Charlotte. Bogusz said she likes "how she endorses her husband, stands behind her husband:' Asked what impressed her most about Mrs. Dole's speech, she said, "Everything, everything." Mrs. Dole recounted how her hus- band learned values such as personal responsibility and respect while grow- ing up poor in Russell, Kan. REPORT Continued from Page 1 "Education has to include the totality of experience," added Alan Levy, direc- tor of Housing public affairs. That means that not only classroom learning, but also living and co-curricular activi- ties count as academic experiences, he said. The task force now hopes to get feed- back from students, faculty and admin- istrators. "The reason we're floating this as a proposal is to get feedback," Levy said. "We are looking at what it would take, what are the logistical obstacles. The issue of how to set it up will take some time. David Schoem, assistant dean for undergraduate education, said the pro- grams will create smaller academic environments and more individual attention. First-year student Margarita Banda, who is part of the Lloyd Hall Scholars Program, comes from a small high school. She hopes the living-learning community will help her adjust to a large University. "I'm coming from a small school and I didn't want to jump into U-M and get lost," Banda said. "We have a close-knit group of people," said LSA first-year student Seth Myers, another living-learning participant. "It's really nice to be going to classes with people I'm liv- ing with." Schoem said it still "remains to be seen" whether the task force will meet its 1998 goal. "It's a good outline of what's possi- ble, but it will take an increase in fur- ther interest and new funding," Schoem said. "The timeline is very optimistic." Hartford said the University's deans will discuss the report later this month; Juip said he plans to lead a series of RHA forums, the first on Oct. 1. Advisory committees also will be formed to study and create the specifics for each program. Before implementation, final approval needs to be given by the partners of each pro- gram and the University president, Hartford said. "We have a lot of input-seeking to do," Hartford said. "We need commit- tees to flush out the recommendations of the task force' Schoem said there also needs to be further discussion about ways to fund the new programs. But in the meantime, the report out- lines a plan for each incoming class - about 5,000 students. "You see U-M committing itself to living-learning communities," Juip said. "We're placing ourselves academ- ically and culturally ahead of any other university in the country, possibly the world." - Daily Staff Reporter Heather Miller contributed to this report.

NWROC members said they think the billing is ridiculous. "The charge is outrageous," said NW ROC member and Detroit resident Luke Massie, who attended the June 22 rally. "They say we should pay for the service of being pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed. The overwhelming majori- ty (of anti-Klan protesters) weren't even NWROC members. "They can shove their charge up their ass," Massie said. He said the billing is just one of a number of mistakes Ann Arbor officials made in dealing with the Klan's petition to rally, specifically in their decision to provide police protection to Klan mem- bers. "It's outrageous (the city) went so far afield in staging and lavishly subsi- dizing the rally in the first place." Massie said he believes the Klan, should be not be billed either. "They shouldn't be charged because they shouldn't have been there in the first place.: Ann Arbor Organizing Against the Klan (A2 OAK), a grassroots organiza- tion of University students and Ann should seek legal counsel against the city. George Washington, a .Detroit attorney, defended several of the eight anti-Klan protesters arrested on June 22 and said he would likely work on the legal issues of the billing. "It's outrageous to bill them and prosecute eight people," Washington said. "It's what towns in rural Mississippi tried to do to the NAACP 30 years ago and Ann Arbor is follow- ing in those footsteps." "In my opinion, there's no way (the billing will) hold up in court," Washington said. Berlin said he had no reason to think the city could not collect on the bills. "We wouldn't have done it if we thought it would be futile," he said. "I don't believe there's a precedent in Ann Arbor, but I know other cities: have charged for services associated with rallies." Another Klan rally and counter-rally took place in Saginaw shortly after the Ann Arbor rally. A large contingent of Saginaw and State Police officers also monitored that rally. Saginaw City Attorney Catherine Ginster said Saginaw has no pending litigation against the Klan or protest groups, and no plans to initiate any such litigation. Massie said NWROC members will make their concerns known to the n. , iimm -of ha f,. ;fv SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS needed, $5.50 an hr.
