"There is a lot of education in the community as a
whole, starting from our own police department, stuf'
at all the schools, parents to (parent teacher organiza-
tions) on awareness and identification," El-Ayoubi
said.
But even with the high success of these programs
and others like it that combat gang activity in Washte-
naw County and the surrounding areas, some high
school students still say that gang affiliations are com-
mon.
"We're the Diag rats. Anything that goes on in Ann
Arbor, we know about. There are gangs around," said
one 16-year old Ann Arbor high school student, who
requested that his name not be printed.
The student, who wears baggy jeans and clothes like
those prohibited from Pinball Pete's, said he was at one
time affiliated with a gang.
Steve Nawojcsyk, a juvenile justice consultant locat-
ed out of Little Rock, Arkansas, said looks can be
deceiving.
"I always tell people that it is very difficult to look at
an individual and tell that, because of movies or TV,
that they are in a gang. Baggy pants and bandannas are
just what kids wear now."
Nawojcsyk added that Pinball Pete's dress code is an
approach to curbing gang related behavior that is simi-
lar to those of many schools across the nation.
"A lot of schools try to institute a no-gang attire pol-
icy but it's so difficult to tell what is gang-related cloth-
ing," Nawojesyk said. "The only way to do that is to
make kids wear uniforms."
Considering that this approach is not feasible for
stopping gang affiliation on city streets, El-Ayoubi said
she meets with officers from other jurisdictions to dis-
cuss the appearance of trends and sort through written
information confiscated from gangs.
"A lot of times, because gang members are not per-
manently situated, they tend to be transient from neigh-

} "I don't want to wake up Wednes-
day morning and say I didn't lend my
name, or whatever little I could do, to
stop a Bush presidency," he said
before the event.
Cusack made unfavorable com-
ments about Republican Texas Gov.
George W. Bush on several issues.
"To me, underneath this nice,
warm frat boy kinda thing is a bunch
of arch conservatives just waiting to
get the country back," Cusack said.
Admitting that he reveres Ralph
Nader, Cusack said in the situation of
the tight election he feels the Green
Party candidate is "dead wrong" by
campaigning in swing states.
Even though the event celebrat-
ed 80 years of women having the
right vote in federal elections,
speakers last night focused less
on women's issues and more on
pcampaigning for the Democratic
ticket.
Michigan Supreme Court Justice
candidate Marietta Robinson
invoked boos from the crowd when
she talked about the Republican
Supreme Court majority.
"Our courts have been taken over
by Engler's politicians," she said.
Robinson appears without par-
tisanship on the ballot and urged
voters to remember her name and
er colleagues Edward McCall
Thomas and F. Thomas Fitzgter-
ald.
"There's no excuse for forgettin"
me, I'm the only woman there,"
Robinson said.
When Lieberman took the stage,
she received several standing ova-
tions and a rendition of "Happy
Birthday" celebrating her 86th birth-
ay on Wednesday.
After her speech, Lieberman said

she felt that she was friends with the
audience. "You will do right by Joe's
mother," she said.
Serving as emcee and speaker,
Rivers (D-Ann Arbor) - who is
running for re-election against
Republican Carl Berry -- spoke
about the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Many Democrats are saying they
fear the loss of abortion rights if
Bush is elected Tuesday.
Rivers retorted against com-
ments she said Nader made on
television within in the past few
days, accusing him of trivializing
the abortion issue.
"Ralph Nader is free to build a
third party ... but he is not free to
build it on the backs of women,"
Rivers said.
The last speaker on the roster was
Senate candidate Debbie Stabenow,
who spoke on several issues facing
the nation.
"I wish I had a dollar for every
time somebody said to me 'Educa-
tion is the most important thing'
and then they go off and do some-
thing else," she said.
Returning to the night's theme,
Stabenow said, "There are only
nine women (in the U.S. Senate)
and I think there ought to be at
least 10."
Stabenow is one of three
women running for the U.S. Sen-
ate alone with fellow Democrats
First Lady Ilillary Clinton in New
York and Maria (artwell in Wash-
ington.
If elected, Stabenow would be
Michigan's first female U.S. senator.
The senate hopeful also cam-
paigned for Gore.
"It's not about if you want to have
a beer with somebody," she said.
"Have a beer with George Bush and
elect Al Gore the President of the
United States."

nces among yout
"It's easy to take the kid out of the gang but hard to
take the gang out of the kid."
- Adele EI-Ayoubi
Ann Arbor Police crime prevention specialist

borhood to neighborhood. It's not uncommon to have
gang members move from one area to another," El-
Ayoubi said.
Gang specialists refer to these members as "trans-
fers." Nawojcsyk said that transfers are one of the
ways that gang culture spreads.
"The first way is recruitment. Hard-core gang mem-
bers recruit kids to become gang members and drug
dealers, these are synonymous. The second way is
transfers. It's easy to take the kid out of the gang but
hard to take the gang out of the kid," Nawojcsyk said.
Nawojcsyk's point can be illustrated by an 18-year
old Ann Arbor resident who calls himself Shotgun.
Shotgun said he grew up in Detroit where he was
part of a Los Angeles-based gang. Shotgun still bears
a tattoo branding and scar that he received as a mem-
ber of that gang.
"I was an innocent bystander. I was standing
next to a house where there was a drive-by. I
started to run because the crackheads next door
started shooting. I got shot in my left wrist with a
shotgun," he said.
Though he still has the physical reminders of the
gang, he said he would not use his real name because
he had left the gang and was planning to enter the
army so that he could go to college.
Nawojesyk said it is not totally uncommon for for-
mer gang members like Shotgun to attend college.
"Usually it goes dormant in college because
they move away from their respective homes," he
stid.
But Nawoicsyk also said these students may still

affiliate themselves with their gangs while at cdlege
even ifthey are not active members.
"There's still students who associate withgangs
before they go there and still have a feeling that they
are in the gang because the gang becomes like family.
That feeling can be displaced by a fraternity or sorority
or club or school," he said. "I'm not saying they're
organized, but there are people who were involved in
gangs in all walks of life now, be it in academia, the
military or in work settings."
El-Ayoubi said some gangs go as far as se Oing
their members to college.
"Some gangs will keep their members clean of all
criminal activity and send them to college so that they
would maintain ties and later put to use the knowledge
they attained in college to help better their gang,' she
said.
She added that the little gang activity Ann Arbor
does have may be a result of the Ann Arbor's diverse
University atmosphere.
"Our gangs are very loosely knit. But because we
are a college city, we attract people from all over the
world. Our gangs are as diverse as our city, they cross
all ethnic and racial backgrounds, socio-economics
and gender," El-Ayoubi said.
Because of the strides taken in the past Ann
Arbor isn't facing the problems that other cities
are having with gangs. But El-Ayoubi added that
this shouldn't make residents think that there is no
problem.
"Never say never. If we close our eyes and are not
aware, we won't see it coming," she said.

SENATE
Continued from Page 1
Abraham, Conrad Burns of Mon-
tana, Rhode Island's Lincoln
Chafee, Washington's Slade Gor-
don, Rod Grams of M innesota,
Delaware's William Roth and John
Ashcroft of Missouri.
The circumstances surrounding
Ashcroft's vulnerability are particu-
larly unusual.
Ashcroft was being challenged by
Democratic Missouri Gov. Mel Carna-
han, who was killed in a plane crash
last month. Because Carnahan's name
cannot be removed from the ballot, he
could still win the election.
In this case the state's new gover-
nor would appoint someone to fill
the seat. Carnahan's wife, Jean, has
announced she would be willing to
fill her late husband's seat and the
governor has indicated he would
appoint her.
The appointment of a deceased

politician's wife to his post is not an
uncommon move, University political
science Prof. Michael Traugott said.
"What's unusual is that the candidate
died before the electionl," he said.
Adding an even more bizarre twist
to the Missouri race, recent polling has
shown the deceased Carnahan with a
slight lead over Ashcroft.
"We're glad she decided to accept
the appointment should Governor
Carnahan win. We feel she'd be the
best person to accept the job,"
DiMartino said.
The closest watched Senate race
in the country is the New York
showdown between first lady
Hillary Clinton and Republican
Rep. Rick Lazio.
This race, much like the one in
Michigan, is anything but amicable
and is characterized by massive
;amounts of advertising spending.
According to the Federal Election
Commission's latest figures, Clin-
ton and Lazio have spent a corn-

billed S59 million.
"This is a big money
around ... and this is a h
race in particular,"Train
"Both candidates are rai
sive amounts of money a
ing massive amounts. Ne
an expensive place to run.
