LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 21, 1996 - 7A BOLLINGER Continued from Page 1A SIlly reneged on the agreement. ... He said he changed his mind." Steiner said Bollinger agreed with the ACLU to redisplay the exhibit and hold a censorship forum. She said Bollinger then backed out of the agreement. "These were actions. They were taken. They speak for themselves. We don't think these were isolated inci- dents,' Steiner said. - Steiner said Bollinger agreed with the ACLU to redisplay the exhibit and hold a censorship forum. She said Bollinger then backed out of the agreement. He also said the ACLU used the con- troversy as a focal point to criticize MacKinnon. An outspoken legal schol- ar, MacKinnon's fame and infamy are legendary in national academia. She was given the "Censor of the Year" award by the ACLU prior to the contro- 4ersy's development. "I felt that the ACLU was engaged in this instance in an effort to intimidate and silence Catharine MacKinhon," Bollinger said. Bill Dobbs, a Law School student in the early '80s, said he was "horrified" when hearing that Bollinger was cho- sen as president. "Basically, he is terrible," Dobbs said. "He is no friend of free expression:' Dobbs said the art exhibit controversy shows Bollinger's lack of respect for speech. He also blasted Bollinger because he "never uttered a word against the speech code on campus." Yet in an Oct. 24 town meeting, Bollinger said he and former Law Dean Sandalow stated their concern about a 1987 draft of a code of non-academic conduct. "Former Dean Sandalow and I went to the person in the administration and *id, 'We've got to tell you, as your con- stitutional law people around here, that you have a major problem and the code should be withdrawn,"' Bollinger said. Anne Marie Ellison, an anti-Code activist who leadsthe Student Rights Commission on the Michigan Student Assembly, said she is not worried that Bollinger would behave as a censor. "I would hope that he wouldn't sup- port a resurgency of a speech code, and I can't imagine that he would," Ellison said. Far from being worried, Ellison said she is hopeful about Bollinger's presi- dency, because his credentials as a con- stitutional scholar may lead to a more student-friendly version of the current Code of Student Conduct. Nicholas Kirk, president of the University's chapter of the College Republicans, said he is worried that Bollinger may not be accepting of con- servative members of the University community. "I think Lee Bollinger coming in as president may bring a chilling effect on some of the students who have Republican views on this campus," Kirk said. "We look forward to working with the new president. If Lee is sincere about working with all students and working with all student views, we'd be happy to have him." Kirk predicted Bollinger and campus Republicans will "cross paths before the year is out." Bollinger said he attempts to take divergent viewpoints into consideration when making decisions. "I try as hard as I possibly can to keep an open mind on issues and pro- mote open debate and discussion," Bollinger said. Sandalow said Bollinger "will listen carefully to what is said by people on all sides of issues." Bollinger "will probably disagree" with conservative students on some issues, Sandalow said. "I don't suppose that any president or any person alive can make everyone happy." Study: Students are drowsiest drivers By Jenni Yachnin Daily Staff Reporter With Thanksgiving around the corner, plenty of stu- dents will be making a long drive home - a drive that can be dangerous if not prepared for correctly. A recent study published by Three Rivers Group, which makes the alertness drug Vivarin, concluded that drivers between the ages of 16 and 25 are respon- sible for the largest number of accidents caused by falling asleep at the wheel. The study was conducted last year by Bradley Hospital's Chronobiology Laboratory in North Carolina. The theory supporting the study's findings is that student drivers don't prepare for long trips properly - they don't get enough sleep, don't take breaks on the road and often choose to drive at bad times. "Basically we wanted to make students aware what a big problem drowsy driving is among their age group," said Jane Friedberg, a spokesperson for Vivarin. Many students strongly disagreed with the survey, attributing accidents to lack of experience, not sleep. "I agree that students can sometimes be a little more reckless when they drive, but I wouldn't correlate it to not getting enough sleep" said Kinesiology sopho- more Michael Melfi. "It's more according to their dri- ving experience - I wouldn't base it solely on sleep."' The study also offended many students who said it underestimates their judgment. "It does cover a lot of people," said Wendy Golef, an Engineering sophomore. "But it's not like we're going to pull an all-nighter and then make the drive home." LSA first-year student Karen Hodys said, "That (study) is the most absurd thing I've heard. Even if that were true, people of those ages would have enough common sense to pull off the road and rest until they could continue." With Thanksgiving and winter break coming up, many students will prepare in different ways for their drives home. "When I'm done with classes on Tuesday, I'll get into my car and drive," said Ira Weintraub, a Kinesiology senior. Weintraub will drive eight hours u to Rozkville, Md. "I've done (the drive) four or five times at the mu i o same time (of day) and it's never been a problem." tll Some students prepare to drive home with their families. "Before we leave we call AAA LSA fir and get a Triptiks," said Hodys, who is traveling to Burrillville, R.I., at winter break. "My mom buys drinks to pack in a cooler in the car." Students use different methods to stay awake, even on short drives. "I pump up the music so I don't fall asleep," said LSA first-year student Katie Moses. Adding that although her drive home is only an hour, she said the trip can be rough. "I drink lots and lots of coffee. I'll leave around three; I try to beat traffic," Moses said. Melfi's drive to Lansing is also only about an hour, IP )rs but he said he still enjoys the trip. "Some people like to see their surroundings' he said. "Road trips can be fun if you take a friend; it's someone to talk to, to help keep you awake." Many students will drive home with friends, not only for convenience, but for economic reasons. "We all take turns driving, then we can sleep while someone else is awake" said Golef, who is driving to Philadelphia - a 9 1/2-hour trip. "I hate driving alone, no one talks to you. As long as there is one person up I un the and talking to the driver you're N Jusually good to go. dN t "A plane ticket is about $250, gas money is more like $30. It's a P. big economical difference" Golef said. "Even the $30 gets split Katie Moses between three or four people." t-year student For some, flying is more a question of distance. "Lots of people can't or shouldn't fly because the distance is too short," Moses said. There are students who fly home because the dis- tance is too far to drive. "(I'm flying) because it's like a 10-hour drive and I don't like being in a car for a long time - I get rest- less," said LSA first-year student Sara Klenoff. "It's a lot easier and it takes a lot less time." Clarissa Charlier, a Kinesiology sophomore, laughed at the question of whether she would fly home. She rubbed her fingers together and said, "Money."
