Irr LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 31, 1996- 5A *ECONOMY Coninued from Page IA Arbor). 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. Student-run television station expands lineup AJA DEKLEVA COHEN/Daity Chris Schmitt, David Felbeck and Mary Schroer, candidates for state representative, met at the Michigan Union last night to debate student and University concerns. 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 W O L V' s growth from i an organiza- W eW C tion with a few cameras, a desk and two p chairs to one with a new state-of-the-art things ar production studio, aidback increased stu- dent member- ship and a Woi growing pro- gram lineup. 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.

Currently e dorms, WOLV's By Prachish Chakravorty Daily Staff Reporter 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."

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. ,RESEARCHER Continued from Page 1A 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."
