Clinton is enjoying the unsolicited
praise that President Bush missed out
on. in his bid for re-election, said
University economics Prof. George
Johnson.
While Rivers said she supports
Clinton's economic policies, she c:iti-
ized analysis that holds officials
responsible for economic trends
beyond their control.
"The argument that everything that
goes wrong is his fault and everything
that goes right is to his credit is just
silly," she said.
Along with proposals for block.
grants and entitlement revamps,
Republicans shift praise and responsi-
bility for the economy to the states.
,Wichigan Gov. John Engler's economic
rogram is considered a test model for
Dole's programs in GOP circles.
"We've done these things at the state
level and we know they work," Engler
said at the summit.
Dole and Kemp met with business
leaders and Republican governors from
across the country who claim their
states' economies have flourished
under economic plans similar to Dole's.
Democrats strike back, however, and
aim victory in an overall national
economic revival led by Clinton and his
Democratic allies in Congress.
"If John Engler were solely and even
mostly responsible for the economy
doing well, then the economies of the
states of which John Engler is not gov-
ernor wouldn't be doing well," said
Michigan Democratic Party Chair
Mark Brewer.
Reduced taxes, reduced regulations
Wr businesses and reduced authority of
the federal government puts more
power in the hands of the people, GOP
governors said at their economic sum-
mit Republicans have said a 15-per-
cent across-the-board tax cut and $500
perschild tax break could stimulate the
economy, allow more mothers to stay
home with their children, and increase
the accessiblity of higher education.
"We've got to give men and women
he choice to go to work, and not force
them to go to work to pay the taxes,"
Kemp said at the summit.
Shifting programs from entitlements
to block grants to the states will help to
triai the budget, Dole and his supporters
assort. The Welfare Reform Act, which
Clinton signed this summer, is the first
prominent entitlement to be allocated to
be moved under state control.
National standards could suffer,
owever, because state governments
don't always have adequate funding or
the perspective to deal with the extra
responsibility, Rivers said,
While Democrats claim the plan will
increase the deficit and require cuts to
Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid, some experts say it sounds
too good for voters to believe.
Dole's plan is "not credible to large
sectors of the population because of
heir experience in the early 80s,"
Traugott said.
"here are economists who do this
fora living who say ... this is just pie in
the sky - it can't be done," Rivers said.
In raw numbers and budgets, most
experts agree it doesn't add up. But
increased revenues will make up the
difference, Republicans say.
"What happens when you have a tax
cut is tax revenues actually increase,"
-aid GOP U.S. Senate candidate Ronna
Womney. "The key to everything is
- making sure that spending is kept
under control.'
Romney said her own plan, which
varies slightly from the Dole plan,
requires that the gross domestic prod-
uct expand at the same rate of governe-
ment spending.

Can iates for local distnct
seats debate student concerns
By Kathy Camp
For the Daily
When LSA junior Jessica Herman
agreed to be on WOLV's Dating Game,
she hoped the evening would change
her future.
"We went to the U Club, and I came
home with flowers," she said. "It was
nice."
A few weeks later, the phone call she
was waiting for finally came. But
Herman wasn't expecting romance. The
call was from WOLV, the University's
student-run television station, inviting
her to work on the station's news pro-
gram.
This second evening eventually led
to a position as the station's news direc-
tor and then to the creation of the post
of entertainment director, which she
currently holds.
Stories like Herman's are behind

While the Office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs recog-
nized the station's achievement last year
by voting it Outstanding New
Organization, WOLV Director James
Wang, an LSA senior, remembers the
group's beginning three years ago.
"WOLV started as two guys with
an idea who were interested in a
learning experience with TV," Wang
said.
In its first year, the station's origi-
nal staff of about 100 students pro-
duced a weekly news show, game
shows, a news magazine and provided
sports coverage.
Today, with membership approach-
ing 200, the station delivers 10-12
hours of original programming each
week. Some of these shows are creat-
ed from scratch - written, acted,
directed and produced by WOLV
members.
WOLV's lineup ranges from news to
the soap "Beyond the Ivy" sports cov-
erage, music videos and sitcoms. Its
news crews were present recently when
President Clinton delivered a foreign
policy speech at the Fisher Theater in
Detroit.
LSA senior Brad Rosenberg,
WOLV's president, said this is the kind
of coverage the station wants to expand
in the future.
"We are really trying to get our feet
wet in things like this and make contact
with big events coming into town," he
said.
Though not everyone involved
with WOLV plans to enter the com-
petitive world of television broad-
casting, those who do believe that
their time at the station provides
good preparation.

Fisher Theater) with all that other

State representative candidates, com-
peting for two Ann Arbor districts, met
last night at the Michigan Union to take
part in a three-way debate focusing on
student and University concerns.
The debate, organized by MSA's
External Relations Committee, was
attended by Republican challenger and
recent University graduate, Chris
Schmitt, and incumbent Liz Brater (D-
Ann Arbor) - both of whom are com-
peting for the 53rd district. Republican
candidate David Felbeck, an
Engineering professor for 35 years who
is competing for the 52nd district, also
spoke.
Each candidate was invited to
address the audience of about 20 and
answer questions prepared by a three-
member panel consisting of committee
members and general questions from
the floor.
"We wanted (the debate) to be basi-
cally student-oriented," said EdnaYang,
grassroots liason for ERC.""We wanted
(questions) to apply to University stu-
dents."
The questions highlighted each can-
didates' stance on a number of issues
including whether a student should be
added to the Board of Regents, whether
the regents should be allowed to con-
duct the University presidential search
behind closed doors and if the state
should set a fixed percentage limit on
the number of out-of-state students at
the University.
"Yes, I think (supporting a constitu-
tional ammedment adding a student to
the Board of Regents) would be a good
idea" Brater said, arguing for greater
accountability for the board. Both
Republican candidates disagreed. They
said that a single student could not
alone be responsible to represent all of
the University's interests.
"I do think we need to look at how to
make regents more accountable,"
Schmitt said. He added that this should
be done in a different way "that should
include students."
The candidates were also divided on
partisan lines over the requirement for
the University to conduct presidential
searches in public.
"I believe that this open meeting sit-
uation definately hinders (finding the
best person for the job)," Schmitt said.
Qualified people would not risk losing
their exisiting jobs by applying to the
University in the open, he said.
"I believe presidential searches can
be held in the sunshine," Brater said,
noting success in open searches in her
past work in Ann Arbor's local govern-
ment. "It isn't easy, it's very difficult,
but you can respect the public's right to
know," Brater said.
On the proposal that Lansing should
set a minimum percentage of in-state
students that the University must
accept, Felbeck disagreed.
"The University is better off, wherev-
er they come from, having the highest
quality students. It's good for all stu-
dents and good for faculty."
"(The state should) strengthen our
primary and secondary students so we
have more qualified students coming
from Michigan so it isn't even an issue,"
Schmitt added.
LSA senior Tom Font said he thought
Schmitt, who graduated from the
University in August, was in tune with
student opinions.
"I'm not a Republican, I'm a
Democrat, but I just feel that putting
one of our own (in the state Legislature)
- someone who knows what it's like to
be young - is definitely a good thing"
Font said.
long-term plans are to reach off-cam-
pus, but its immediate goal is to expand
its viewership within the residence
halls.
While several students said they are
unfamiliar with WOLV's programming,
other students said they follow the sta-
tion's sports coverage.
"I really like the guy who does sports
because he gives you quick knowledge
of University athletics - just the
University instead of citywide,' said'
LSA junior Brandon Quinn.
LSA senior Carrie Fine, an anchor
on the station's news show, said that
while WOLV continues to aim for a
professional look, members still see it
as a place for students to learn and
have fun.
"We work to produce quality pro-
gramming, but things are really laid
back here" she said.
"If you are going to make a mistake,
it is better to make it here than out in the
real world."

be located on Catherine Street where the
Taubman Medical Library now stands.
"He apparently ran off with his bedsheet,"
Stevens said.
Forest Hill is also home to numerous
prominent Ann Arbor and University individ-
uals.
"Just about every street in Ann Arbor is
named after someone who is buried here,"
said Roscoe Flack, manager of Forest Hill for
20 years.
Former Ann Arbor Mayor William
Maynard, who committed suicide by ingest-
ing poison while serving his mayoral term,
was buried in 1866.
His suicide note discussed his "struggles
with the evil one," referring to the devil.
"Nobody knows what set him off," Stevens
said, noting that he was said to be the richest
man in Ann Arbor when he died.
Several prominent University individuals
are also buried at Forest Hill.
"You have many University people here,"
Flack said.
Five former University presidents are
buried at Forest Hill, including former
President Henry Frieze who during his presi-
dency, was the first to admit women to the
University in 1870.
Football announcer Bob Ufer, who has a
block 'M' engraved on his headstone, per-
manently rests across from former Athletic
Director Fielding Yost.
And Michigan football player George
Jewett., who died in 1908, was the
University's first black athlete.
Forest Hill is also home to several unusu-
al memorials, including the headstone of
Johann Geovg Muller, who died in 1858.
His form of death is depicted on his head-
stone as he is shown writhing beneath the
horse-drawn cart that ran him over.
"It's sort of like an epithet in the picture
alone," said Flack, who added that the acci-
dent occurred at the corner of Hill Street and
Packard Road.
Ann Arbor resident Carole Marie said she
enjoyed the tour because of the cemetery's
historical significance.
"I'm always fascinated by history and I
like cemeteries," Marie said. "I liked (the
tour) because you learn a lot about the his-
tory of Ann Arbor."
Stevens will be offering two more tours
this season at 2 p.m. on Nov. 3 and Nov. 10.
The tour, which meets at the cemetery's
front gates, costs $8.

come will be" she said. "We'll have a
fair and impartial process."
Baker said that a verified violation
of academic integrity requires a
response of either a lowered or failing
grade, a note of misconduct on the stu-
dent transcript, suspension or expul-
sion.
The National Institute of Health is
Sonducting a separate investigation
into the fraud.
However, Don Roboski, a
spokesperson for the agency, said no
findings would be revealed until the
investigation has concluded.
"I had no evidence, in frequent inter-
actions with the junior scientist over the
course of three years, to question his
honesty" Collins wrote in a letter to the
genetic research community. "Even in
retrospect, I am not sure how these
deceptions could have been uncovered
sooner."
Baker said making assertions about
upcoming disciplinary action would be
premature and maintained that the pun-
ishment could vary considerably
depending on the results of the investi-
gation.
"It will take some time," she said. "I
don't know what will happen. I think
it's wrong to speculate in these circum-
stances."
