2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 11, 1998 NATION/WORLD MSA Continued from Page 1 Paunovich said his approach to his campaign for LSA representative on the assembly also will be centered around "going out and meeting people" and "just getting to know people." "I think that the mass flyer isn't as effective as a word of mouth cam- paign," said Paunovich, an LSA first- year student. "I think (mass postering doesn't) give a reflection of candidates as much as talking to them does. With the University so large, it's hard to reach out and know people,' he said. Friedrichs said that although he is running as an independent candidate, he is not worried about the absence of a party's help in contributing funds to his campaign. "Flashy posters and expensive ban- ners may get your name out, but it won't get you elected," Friedrichs said. "We may be at a slight disad- vantage because of our lack of fund- ing, but in the end, it's face-to-face and people-to-people contact that will win." Vice presidential candidate Michael Enright also said he is not concerned about financing his campaign. Enright is running with the New Frontier Party. Students' Party presidential candi- date Trent Thompson said his low-bud- get campaign will not affect his chances for election. But Thompson said he may have a difficult time getting his name out to students. "I would hope that when people vote, they'll vote on issues instead of faces," Thompson said. "It depends on the edu- cation of the voter." Thompson said he has spent about S 150 on posters and campaign supplies. "It's ridiculous how much money people do spend on elections for student government," Thompson said. "We're trying to go as cheap as possible." A candidate information site is avail- able for students to view on the web. The site includes the ideas and plat- forms of candidates. LIBRARY Continued from Page 1 of future research. "It will help researchers overcome a gender bias that is built into the means for accessing historical infor- mation," she said. A library search on the Civil War, for example, only would yield topics such as military campaigns, weaponry, eco- nomics and diplomacy - areas domi- nated by men in the 1860s. "The materials are often by and about men," Bickner said. "This gender prob- lem is especially true for materials that were catalogued by an older generation of librarians who did not need to support research on the history of women. "We are ... creating a means of direct access to sources by and about women," she said. The project also holds personal ben- efits for the historians. "The materials that we are reading and describing are quite rich," Bickner said. "I am now reading a series of letters from a Civil War Union soldier ... and the woman that he eventually marries. "The language ... is so crisp and vivid that I am getting to know these people and their relationship to this period in history," she said. The project's focus on personal doc- uments reflects an ongoing change in the way all history is done, Onuf said. "People aren't just writing biogra- phies of dead white men anymore; they are doing social history - the mun- dane daily life and the 'nobodies,"' Onuf said. Abigail Stewart, director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, noted the importance of this change. "In exploring contemporary women's lives, we have many resources availabH interviews, obser- vation, questionnaires from the women themselves and from people they know," Stewart said. "When, however, we try to understc'nd women's lives in the past, archiva! records - correspondence and diaries - are the closest thing we have to direct, first-person accounts." Onuf said she hopes the in-depth index, when completed, will provide a model for archiving all historical manuscripts. "I'm uncomfortable about think- ing about it just as women's history. It is about women's roles within social systems," which also involve men, Onuf said. The Women in History project received funding from the New Century Fund for Diversity, a grant pro- gram within the University that targets progressive research projects. AROUND THE NATION Woman questioned about Clinton in WASHINGTON - Prosecutors yesterday sought again to test the truthfulness of recent sworn testimony from President Clinton, questioning before a federal grand jury another woman whose path has crossed his. The witness, a former White House volunteer named Kathleen Willey, made no public comments regarding her tes- timony. In an apparent signal that she is not hostile to the inves- tigation, Willey arrived at and departed the courthouse in the company of the staff of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. Willey is one of six women - including former White tis, intern Monica Lewinsky - about whom Clinton was Clinton qlueslic"ed Jan. 1 7 Uy syers for Paula Corbin Jones, the for- met Arkanisg.; 'overnment employee who has filed a sexual harassment suit agail Clinton.

Olivari said tension on campus could be at even higher levels right now because of increased attention to affirmative action caused by the two lawsuits filed this past fall against the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and the Law School that target the schools' use of race in the admissions process. "Lots of people are against affirmative action," he said. "This adds to the tension outside of people's normal beliefs." Levy said people with information about the incident can anonymously call the University's Witness Information Network at 800-863-1355. Clinton announces child care initiative BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Pledging to make government child- care centers "models" for the nation, President Clinton yesterday directed all federal day-care facili- ties to obtain independent accredita- tion based on accepted safety and quality standards. At the same time, Clinton called on Congress to address a "crying unmet need" by acting on comprehensive leg- islation to boost the affordability and accessibility of child care for preschoolers and school-aged children across the country. "We should not let the calendar get in the way of the need for urgent action;' Clinton told a group of several hundred people in a community college gymnasium in this blue-collar, New England coastal city. "We can pass the child-care reforms and we can fund them." The comments reflect a new effort by Clinton to increase pressure on the Republican-controlled Congress to on his policy initiatives despite a re tively short legislative calendar an preoccupation with political and p sonal scandals. At several points in speech, Clinton noted that Co has only 70 scheduled working left this year.

On the one hand, Gelbard denounced the Serb government's use of "brutal, disproportionate, and overwhelming force" in its recent killings of Albanian extremists and at least 22 women and children near the town of Srbica, west of Pristina. He criticized the government for trampling on the "rule of law" by resorting to violence and then blocking efforts by the Red Cross and other independent groups to gain access to the bodies of victims and investigate possible war crimes. Gelbard also told a procession of Albanian political leaders, students and prominent journalists that Washington wants the Albanian community to exercise caution and restraint in responding to the v lence and the Yugoslav gove ment's intransigence. He fuj reiterated that WashingtonI opposes creation of an independ Albanian nation in the Se province of Kosovo - a messa that went down poorly amo Albanians here.
