LOCAL/S TATE The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 21, 2000-- 7A MeCain to shift focus in Mich. y YaelKohen ily Staff Reporter EAST LANSING - As Arizona Sen. John McCain began his final campaign push in Michigan yesterday, ie has been trying harder to define himself as a "reform conservative" Losing to Texas Gov. George W. Bush by I 1 points in South Carolina on Saturday has made Michigan a cru- cial stepping stone in securing the presidential nomination. "We thought that an overtly positive ampaign would prevail over an overt- ly negative one and we were wrong," McCain's Campaign Manager Rick Davis said. "There will be more active contrast so he won't get defined" by Bush, Davis said, adding that the campaign "didn't work hard enough to define ourselves against these charges, jainst his Republicanism," Davis ld. McCain will allocate S2.5 million to new advertisements to gain support in the upcoming primaries across the nation, Davis said. Concern regarding McCain's loss in South Carolina has led some to worry that the results will effect Michigan's primary tomorrow. But supporters who crowded into the Michigan State University Intramural orts Circle gym said they do not look South Carolina as an indicator of which republican candidate Michigan voters will choose tomorrow. McCain's Chief Strategist Mike Murphy said he thinks that Michigan voters will "ignore" South Carolina's result and added that Delaware hasn't appeared to affect the campaign either. The latest Detroit News poll taken between Feb. 15-17 has McCain lead- Bush by 2 points in Michigan. The win in the Michigan primary will be meaningful, Davis said. "Michigan is going to be the first industrial state that tests Bush and McCain," University political science assistant Prof. Margaret Howard said. McCain should expect a tough fight in Michigan with Gov. John Engler supporting Bush. Engler, who is also Bush's state campaign chair, has mus- tered strong Republican support for the Texas governor. But Murphy said "organization is the most overrated thing in politics," adding "I don't think any governor anywhere can deliver much." If McCain loses Michigan, then winning the California primary will become more crucial. McCain plans to continue cam- paigning in Michigan today before he returns to his home state for the Ari- zona primary tomorrow. "Given that Arizona is McCain's home state, McCain sure doesn't want to lose Arizona," Howard said. But McCain has not campaigned in Arizona, which he has represented in Congress for the last 17 years, to the same degree as in other states. "He's been focusing on states that don't know him as well," Arizona McCain spokesman Douglas Cole said. McCain has attracted Democrats and independents in the state and many Democrats plan to vote in the tomorrow 's primary instead of the March I1 Democratic caucus. MSU freshman David Connolly said that although he considers himself a Democrat, he plans to vote for McCain in the primary. "I like McCain out of all four,' he said. But Democrats who vote in the prima- ry cannot vote in the March 11I caucus. "It is against Michigan Democratic Party rules for a Democrat to vote in the primary and then in the caucus," Michigan Democratic Party spokesman Dennis Denno said. SHARPTON Continued from Page1A Michigamua and University administration, he may return to campus to join the SCC members and spend the night at the tower before spring break. He added that he will encourage promi- nent national civil rights leaders to visit the seventh floor of the Michigan Union. "There are some of us that are available to do what's necessary," Sharpton said. "I want Martin Luther King III to come. I want Jesse Jackson to come. I want Dick Gregory to come." Michigamua spokesman Nick Delgado said he and other members of the group attended Sharpton's speech. "Reverend Sharpton gave the idea that you had to define yourself and we whole- heartedly agree with that," Delgado said. "Michigamua cannot allow the students in" the tower to define who we are," he said, adding that his group was labeled as racist and similar to the Klu Klux Klan by Sharp- ton. "Accusations like that only propagate hate and that in itself is dangerous," Delgado said. Colleen Kendall, a Native American Ann Arbor resident, who helped organize the rally, said the event's purpose was "to show that there's community backing to this this situation. We are 100 percent behind them." SCC spokesman Joe Reilly said he was encouraged by the rally and Sharpton's visit. "There's been a lot of frustration due to a severe lack of response from the administra- tion," Reilly said. "That frustration was transformed into a good feeling."

Attempting to bring an end to this isolation, after the rally, McCain told the Daily that he feels his commit- ment to education will resonate with students. McCain outlined his plan to increase funding for higher education and expand financial aid resources for students who cannot adequately meet, the rising costs of a college education. Speaking specifically of land grant universities including Michigan State, the senator said he would like to see more funding for these institutions. "At land grant universities ... where the cost of edu- cation is relatively low, they deserve more money and more support." As for tuition assistance, McCain said he would make Federal Pell Grants available to more students. "Obviously we need to expand eligibility for Pell Grants and also to help students repay their loans," he in our own way." ferred to McCain's televi- tisement that compare him nt Clinton as negative and people of South Carolina overwhelming numbers aid out a positive agenda." nse to McCain's comment gcampaign finance reform sh) is a reformer, than I'm an Bush retorted by saying that first candidate to list contri- almost real time on the Inter- net. Bush received some heat for speak- ing in South Carolina at Bob Jones Uni- versity -- a school that prohibits interracial dating and has been accused of anti-Catholicism. Rep. Peter King (R- New York) announced yesterday that he was moving his endorsement from Bush to McCain due to the speech. Professing that he is not anti- Catholic, Bush noted that his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is Catholic. Bush also said he would not prohibit interracial dating. Former President Ronald Reagan, and McCain's advisors have visited Bob Jones before, Bush said. "I think that this effort to try to put an associa- tion on policies of Bob Jones is a cam, paign tactic that we're not going to:, stand for," said Engler, who is Catholic. While the Michigan primary will clearly have a large influence on the overall outcome of the race for the Republican nomination, Engler said. A loss in Michigan would probably not stop McCain, he said said. Students demonstrating financial need receive Pell Grants, which are not repaid to the federal government. Student loan repayment is an issue with which the senator said he is particularly concerned. He favors a more lenient policy toward collecting them. McCain said he would like to strengthen the connec- tion between civil service and student loans. "I favor expanding military opportunity ... plus other service incentives, which would be rewarded by education benefits ... and obviously forgiveness of loans or ways of repaying loans done by service to the coun- try," he said. McCain also said he supports an issue that directly affects the University of Michigan - affirmative action. "My stand is that I support affirmative action, I do not support quotas. I think quotas demean the indi- vidual and the institution. I believe we can provide help, assistance, training to get people up on a level playing field but I want to see a basis of need and economic origin." McCain did not visibly express disconcertion over his loss to Bush in the South Carolina primary Satur- day. "We took a little hit yesterday, but we've taken hits before and we'll bounce back," he said. McCain attributes his defeat to the massive special interest funding of his opponents. "I think there was an overwhelming amount of money including special interest and tobacco money," he said. Because tomorrow's Republican Primary in- Michigan is open to all registered voters, many polit- ical analysts have said there is potential for Democ- rats to "raid" the primary by voting for McCain to ensure a Bush loss. The senator said he does not support this practice, but failed to condemn it. "Obviously I welcome their votes, anyone is wel- come to vote,' he said. As of now, McCain said he has no plans to drop out of the race -- even if he is not victorious in Michigan. "The next step will be Washington," he said, which will hold its primary on Feb. 29.
