*VALK ,,ontinued from Page 1A }tons of crude oil, other petroleum products and hazardous waste occur annually on Alaska's north lope. SNRE junior Brianne Haven, an organizer of 'Saturday's walk, said that the use of sub-ocean pipelines makes the oil drilling especially tenu- ous. "There's a much higher chance of spills with is kind of drilling," Haven said. "It's easy for these pipelines to crack or burst with ice." -Former President Dwight Eisenhower first set aside Alaskan land for preservation in 1960 and Congress expanded the Arctic Refuge to 19 mil- ion acres in 1980 as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. But the coastal plain currently under dispute was left out of the expanded Arctic Refuge. Two bills before Congress would give the 1.5 million acre coastal plain in Alaska permanent rotection, the Morris K. Udall Wilderness Act in c House and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness Act in the Senate. The coastal plain is home to a vast array of ,wildlife such as musk oxen, polar bears, wolver- The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 1, 1999 - 7A ines and snow geese. Each spring, a 129,000-member herd of Porcupine river caribou trek hundreds of miles from Canada to give birth in the Alaskan coastal plain. Newborn caribou have a higher chance of surviving in this area because it is virtually preda- tor-free and also has lush plant life and few mos- quitoes. In addition to raising awareness about the threatened Alaskan wilderness, organizers of Saturday's walk said they wanted to promote Nichols Arboretum, the University's own wilder- ness reserve area. "We need to respect nature before it's all gone," Haven said. LSA first-year student Alan Mardegian, a par- ticipant in the walk, said he was concerned that the world's wilderness could disappear. "When I get older I want to have some place to go by myself and be with nature" Mardegian said. Participants in the five kilometer walk, orga- nized by the Michigan Student Assembly's Environmental Issues Commission and EnAct, raised more than $1,400. The proceeds will sup- port the Alaska Wilderness League and Nichols Arboretum. CRASH Continued from Page 1A Martha's Vineyard in July. EgyptAir Chair Mohammed Fahim Rayan was asked about reports that the Federal Aviation Administration had warned EgyptAir of a terrorist threat. "We take all precautions and we have plenty of warnings from everybody, including the FAA," he replied. Armed security guards routinely fly on EgyptAir flights. After the airline's passengers go through the normal airport security check, they are again subjected to baggage search just before they board the aircraft. Jim Hall, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, said EgyptAir and Egyptian government officials were heading to the United States to assist in the investiga- tion. Clinton, about to depart for Europe for Middle East peace talks, said there was "no evidence ... at this time" of foul play linked to the crash. "I think it's better if people draw no conclusions until we know something;' said Clinton, who called Egyptian woo President Hosni Mubarak to offer condolences and U.S. assistance.

Call 734-665-6122 or www.denise.kataiamaki wspan.com CONFERENCE Continued from Page 1A level," said co-Chair of MSA's Women's Issues Commission Riley Hoffman, an LSA senior. SNRE junior and MSA Rep. Mona Gupta said she agreed. "I think we were able to re-evaluate the way MSA cur- rently exists and functions," she said. The assembly decided the best way to improve diversity within MSA and the campus is to increase communica- tion with different student groups so assembly members interact more with these groups. The conference also consisted of four issue sessions. Representatives from each school discussed and ana- lyzed a specific issue, including cam- pus safety, alcohol, universities' gov- erning boards and university-city rela- tions. Chrisitna Stejskal, director of Women's Issues of the United Council, facilitated the issue session and said she hoped to change the initial percep- tions about Title IX. "There seems to be a general under- standing that Title IX deals with more than just athletics, but it applied to all services and all activities. I wanted to expand their view of Title IX into cur- riculum and coursework,"she said. During the issue session regarding the governing board and student rela- tions, the representatives discussed the current state of the relationship between each university's student body and their respective governing board and possible improvements. Michigan State University and the University of Michigan were the only ABTS members of the eight schools in attendance without student representa- tion on their governing boards. But MSU has four non-voting stu- dent liaisons who are invited to break- fast prior to board meetings, an MSU representative said. Ohio State University's student regent is also a non-voting position. University of Michigan LSA senior Abe Rafi said of the conference, "I learned ways to empower students so that they may represent themselves instead of me representing them." ELECTION Continued from Page 1A Mayor Ingrid Sheldon. The mayor and two members from each ward make up the council's mem- bership. Members serve two-year terms and one seat in each ward is up for elec- tion each year. Retiring councilmember Patricia Vereen-Dixon (D-Ward I) is expected to be replaced by Democratic candi- date John Hieftje. Hieftje's only opponent is Libertarian candidate Charles Goodman, a Rackham stu- dent. For some, the possibility of a Democrat super-majority is a concern. "The best I can hope for is maintain- ing the 7-4 division," Sheldon said. If the division increases, it could be harm- ful to city residents, she added. Fourth Ward Republican candidate Marcia Higgins - who is trying to replace her husband, Patrick Putnam on the council - echoed Sheldon's con- cern. "I think that would be detrimental," Higgins said. "That removes the veto right." Others feel the issue of a super- majority inaccurately divides council among party lines. "Council votes unanimously on about 90 percent of things," said coun- cilmember Heidi Cowing Herrell (D- Ward III). Herrell, who is running for re-election, said there are often breach- es of opinion within each party. "Vetoes happen so seldom," Herrell said. "I really do see it as a non-issue." Fourth Ward Democratic candi- date Lawrence Kestenbaum said he feels councilmembers vote accord- ing to their own experiences and beliefs. Kestenbaum said gathering a consensus among a party would be difficult because of personal difter- ences. "It really underestimates the integrity" of council members Kestenbuam said. "They're really not conformists." While some councilmembers and candidates said it is unfair to assume candidates vote by party line, others said politics can have an impact on decisions. "My perspective is it tends to be an additional barrier," Sheldon said. "There's always going to be a barrier in philosophy or style." Some council members said a big, ger concern is the loss of minority representatives on council. Kwan is Asian-American and Vereen-Dixon is black. Herrell said these losses can be com- bated by increasing minority represe-n tation on city committees. Herrell said all perspectives not represented p, council still need to be heard. Another concern of councilmembers is the loss of the retiring councilmem bers' skills. Sheldon pointed to Kwan's business background, Vereen-Dixon's expertise in managing a low rent cooperative and Putman's community service back- ground as experiences that will be, missed. Councilmember Jean Carlberg (D-t Ward III) said Dixon's retirement is a' "serious loss" because of her business background and noted Kwan as "always very forthcoming." Higgins said for her husband the decision to retire was "difficult," but she said their are benefits to changes oni council. "I think it's good to see new faces because it keeps bringing a fresh per- spective of the issue, she said.
