*Gas prices continue to
soar, upset consumers
Pictures at an exhibition
DETROIT (AP) -- Gasoline prices
skyrocketed again in Michigan this
week, averaging almost $1.62 for a
gallon of self-serve regular. But it isn't
expected to harm the state economy in
the short run.
Statewide prices jumped about 6
cents a gallon this week, the third
straight week of sharp increases total-
ing nearly 18 cents per gallon, AAA
Michigan said in its weekly "Fuel
Gauge" report, a survey of 300 service
stations across the state.
Ashanti Johnson of Grand Rapids
said it used to cost $20 to fill her car -
"It's ridiculous. I remember when gas
was 99 cents a gallon."

but now it's closer to $30 per tankful.
"It's ridiculous. I remember when
gas was 99 cents a gallon," she said
yesterday at a gas station in her home-
town. "I can afford for the prices to stay
where they are, but not any higher."
Prices are at their highest since
the auto club began tracking gas
costs in 1973. Fuel prices began ris-
ing after oil exporters inside and
outside of the Organization of Petro-
leum Exporting Countries cut pro-
duction in 1998 and 1999 to boost
historically low prices.
PROTEST
Continued from Page 1
SCC consisting of a thorough examination of the conditions
that SCC says Michigamua must meet if it is to dispel its
"racist" demeanor. These include the elimination of
Michigamua's name as well as practices and rituals that
SCC believes are propagated by the organization, such as
the use of broken English in its documents that mock
Native American speech. 4
Reilly said the elimination of Michigamua's name is a
fundamental part of the group redefining itself.
"It's a very symbolic reference. It embodies 98 years of
racial practices and beliefs," he said. "Keeping it will be
evidence to the University that they don't want to change."
Reilly said Michigamua has not signed any written agree-
ments with SCC regarding the removal of Native American
references. He said University faculty and staff members,
including anthropology Prof. Richard Ford, have been in
Michigamua's office space taking an inventory of the arti-
facts. Reilly said the anthropologist identified some of the
artifacts to be authentic and more than a century old.
Michigamua spokesman Nick Delgado said the society
was approached by a Native American community member
who addressed topics to be discussed between Michigamua
and the Native American community. Michigamua is work-
ing to organize a meeting in the near future with Native
Americans from state tribes, the local community and the
University community.
"This is key," Delgado said. "It is exactly what we're
looking for. It's good for everybody."
Delgado said it is important for people to know that
Michigamua is prioritizing it's responsibilities by beginning
the healing process with the Native American community
instead of trying to negotiate with SCC.
Delgado said Michigamua will discuss the issue of its
name with the Native community and not SCC.
"Its important for everyone to prioritize here so that the
top issue is for Michigamua and the Native community to
get together and share thoughts and concerns," he said.

Although he took advantage of the
mild temperatures, Lee said he hopes
it snows a little more before winter
comes to an end.
Other students simply went outside
to relax. Many students were sprawled
about the Law Quad and other grassy
areas of the University, lounging or
studying.
"The Diag was crazy," LSA fresh-
man Paul- Solustri said. "I like to see
everybody out."
As students probably noticed yester-
day, the temperature fell significantly
throughout the day, and Kahlbaum
said they will probably will stay cooler
for awhile.
While many students said they hope
the weather is finally going to warm
up, it doesn't look as though that is
going to happen just yet.
The National Weather Service fore-
cast predicts weekend temperatures
will range between 30 and 40 degrees.
Snow is also likely Saturday and Sun-
day.
Kahlbaum added that the Ann
Arbor area is on the fringe of a pres-
sure front, which means that a differ-
ence of only a few degrees will greatly
determine whether precipitation will
fall in the form of rain or snow.
While it is difficult to determine
what the weather will be like in the
next few weeks, Kahlbaum said, it
probably won't be as warm as earlier
this week.
"It was expected to get cold again
because it's Michigan,' Chehade said.

dominantly male still. Many times
when I sit in a meeting, I am the
only woman of color at the table and
it's so important to know that if you
want to help people, there is more
out there than being a clinician," she
said.
Career options suggested by the
speakers included perinatal nursing,
nurses aids, administrators, public
health positions, social workers and
counselors.
Joan Chesler said she realized her
calling of becoming a teenage repro-
ductive health care activist after sev-
eral other jobs including teaching
English Literature to seventh- and
eighth-grade students.
She spoke about the importance
of applying talents and skills to
positions one feels strongly about.
"I got into sex education after one
of my own 13-year-old students
became pregnant one month before I
did when I taught English in 1964,"
said Chesler, executive director of
Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti,
which offers counseling to teenage
parents as well as medical care and
educational and social service out-
reach programs.
"I found out that I valued the con-
fidential reproductive health ser-
vices for teenagers," she said.
Tamera Waltman, a perinatal
nurse for University Hospitals and a
teacher of nursing home aids, said
that like the traditional medical
avenues, there are many personal
benefits to following a path less
ventured.
"I help someone, a woman, every
single day," Waltman said, "and that
is the biggest reward for me when I
see my students, who are mostly on
welfare, do well in my class and get
on their own feet.
"These women get self-respect
and confidence in themselves when
they do a job right and are compli-
mented for their work. There are
studies that relate the achievement
in life to a mother's education level.
I help the future of a woman's fami-
ly and children," she said.

Vaughters said the office is able to
guide students as they examine all
their professional possibilities.
"There are opportunities in all dif-
ferent areas of humanities, scientific
research and non-profit agencies,"
Vaughters said.

gram, the Undergraduate Women's

HAZING
Continued from Page 1
hazing issues using a tale of a hypo-
thetical fraternity pledge.
"It's a product of ego. It has
everything to do with trying to make
yourself feel better than someone
else," he said.
"If hazing is so good, why not
throw it out there? Come join our
chapter at the University of Michi-
gan, we'll beat the snot out of you!"
he said sarcastically.
"Sometimes I wonder if our new
members don't realize their authori-
ty and power," Westol said, stressing
the idea that it only takes one person
to stand up against hazing to stop it.
"I hope I can motivate one, two,
three, four pr five of you to go back
to your chapter and say, 'It stops."'
"I really appreciated the awareness
and the way the audience hung in there
with me " Westol said after his sneech.
"I feel the presentation is a great
opportunity for University students
to look at hazing issues that have
plagued universities for decades,"
said Theta Chi member Corey Fer-
nandez, an LSA junior.
The presentation was "a direct
result of the problem of hazing on
campus," Interfraternity Council
External Relations Vice President
Jerry Mangona said.
The campus Alpha Epsilon Pi fra-
ternity lost its charter after a pledge
was shot in the groin with a BB gun
in December. The shooter, LSA
sophomore Zachary Marwil, was
sentenced to probation by a Washte-
naw County Circuit Court judge last
.month.
IFC has appointed a Hazing Task
Force to "investigate the problem of
hazing on our campus and design a
policy and solution to carry -out
whatever actions are necessary to
ston the nrohlem.r" Mangona said.
