LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 24, 2000 - 7 tmore: Affirmative action necessary DETROIT (AP) - Racial equality remains a distant hope, and America needs to recommit itself to closing the gap between whites and minorities, Vice President Al Gore said at a Democratic fundraiser last night. The expected Democratic presidential nominee addressed 350 people at a $300-a-person Democratic National Committee event at the opulent, historic etroit Athletic Club. Earlier yesterday, Gore held a $20,000-a-person DNC fund-raiser at the home of former ambassador to Norway David Hermelin in the Detroit suburb of Bingham Farms. Together, the events raised an esti- mated $705,000. The average black or Hispanic family has one-tenth the wealth of the average white family, he said at the Athletic Club. Gore blamed'the gap on the cumulative effect of centuries of racial discrimination. "I support affirmative action because it's still needed in our country, and we need to fight for it," Gore said. He mocked Republicans who say they oppose policies that take race into account. "'We're advocating a color-blind society,' some of them say. Hellooooo," Gore said. "They use that color-blind like duck hunters use a duck blind. They hide behind it and hope the ducks don't notice." Unequal wealth means many potential young black entrepreneurs never get the family financial backing that is key to the success of their white counterparts, he said. The nation as a whole suffers when any group is denied full participation i its development, Gore said. "That is a limit on our economic growth," he said. The vice president aimed several barbs at Texas Gov. George W. Bush, saying the Republican presi- dential candidate should listen to GOP rival Sen. John McCain on the issue of tax cuts debt reduction. Bush's tax cut proposal would undercut efforts to reduce the national debt Gore said, echoing a view expressed by McCain before he stopped actively seeking the Republican presidential nomination. "Bush said he didn't learn anything from McCain," Gore said. "He should have been taking notes." After spending the night with a Troy family, Gore is scheduled to spend the school day today at L'Anse Creuse Middle School in suburban Detroit.

Turnout skyrockets in MSA elections MSA Continued fm Page 2 voting this year because people are seeing and hearing more about the elections. "'Plus, it's fun and easy. You don't have to do anything to vote because it's all by computer," Nebulon said. Jessica Curtin, the vice presiden- tial candidate for the Defend Affir- mative Action Party, said she feels the high voter turnout is due to MSA becoming more politicized. "Students realize the importance of these elections with the upcoming lawsuits. The outcome of these elec- tions is of national importance," Curtin said. Elise Erickson, the vice presiden- tial candidate for the Blue Party, said the number of candidates run- ning caused many students to cast ballots. "All of the candidates heightened all of the competition. There were all of these people out there campaign- ing in so many different ways. Hide- ki (Tsutsumi, the independent presidential candidate) has really brought an interest into MSA. The turnout really shows commitment from the student body," Erickson said. Most fears of fraudulent voting have been quelled by ITD's ability to identify the candidates each student voted for, which was introduced this year. Last year, 71 fraudulent votes were cast, postponing the declaration of the results for more than two weeks. "Last year there were allegations AWA RD S Continued from Page 1 school to help prepare them for their careers and S3,000 for their undergradu- ate studies. "There is no question that both of them in different ways fit the critique of the Truman scholarship to a tee. They are both very knowledgeable about the issues they are interested in," said Crown, who is also Masters' academic adviser. "Peter is known for his work with (Students Organizing for Labor and Economic Equity). He is an activist, and Michael is the president of Blood Drive United and the chairman of community service for Michigan Stu- dent Assembly and is very active with the Native American community of the Pine Ridge, South Dakota, Indian Reservation, which I think really stands out," Van Der Voo said. Romer-Friedman, who plans to attend law school as well as public policy or graduate school to study eco- nomics, said he was impressed by the competition during the interview process in New York. "I left the interview feeling confident that I did my best in displaying my own abilities and my vision for the nation" Romer-Friedman said he was hon- DAVID ROCHKIND/Daily More than 8,000 students, about one- fourth of the student body, voted online in the Michigan Student Assembly elections. that an individual had voted, and arranged a program from his room to cast votes for himself under others names," Virnm Rezmierski, Chief Information Officer Office of Policy Development and Education Director said. "An investigation showed the votes were cast by an auto responder from his computer." This year, initial reports from the Department of Public Safety alleged there had been one account of voter fraud. But spokeswoman for the Chief Information Officer Wanda Monroe said the votes were uninten- tional. "Someone reported he attempted to vote, but he couldn't and was told he had alrcady voted. It was reported as possible fraud, but it was nonin- tentional," Monroe said. "Upon investigati on, it was dis- covered that the student had left himself logged on while he walked away for a short period. Another student, believing the computer was available, cast her vote not knowing she was voting as someone else," JTD officials said in a written state- ment. But Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Diane Brown said an investigation is still ongoing. ored to be acknowledged for his wofk on campus social issues. "I'm ecstatic to be recognized for my achievements at the University especially the major victones that my colleagues and I in Student Organizing for Labor and Economic Equality have collectively attained in the past two years," he said. Michigan Student Assembly ?re i- dent Brain Elias was told about his Fulbright award last night. Elias said he was "excited nervous, really happy, really sad and really nervous" about the news that he received one of 12 Fulbright scholarships to the United Kingdom for next year. The program allows students to travel abroad to per- form research for an academic year. The inernationa award w as estab- lished in 1946 by former Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Nearly 230,000 have received the award and about 4,500 are awarded annually. Elias will study in Belfast, Northern Ireland and work towards a Masters cf Art in Comparative Ethnic Conflict. "Half of th e year will be spent studying and working on the peace process between the Protestants and the Catholics and then I'll spend the second half of the year comparing that peace process to the mechanics used in South Africa in the post-Apartheid government," Elias said.
