LOCAL/S TATE SECOUNT Continued from Page 1 but gave Harris the authority to accept or reject follow-up manual recount totals. Lewis' decision was a setback for the vice president, who wanted a clear order erasing yesterday's deadline. His lawyers found solace in Lewis urging larris to consider "all appropriate cts and circumstances" when recount totals are filed. In another blow for Gore, Democra- tic-leaning Miami-Dade County refused his request for a recount and a second, Broward, also was inclined to reject Gore's request. A third jurisdic- tion, Volusia County, finished its recount yesterday with gains for Gore. A fourth county, Palm Beach, begins its recounts today and Democrats hope cut deeply into Bush's lead there. Harris said she will require counties filing late recount numbers to explain in writing by 2 p.m. today why new vote totals should be accepted. "Unless I determine, in the exercise of my discretion, that these facts and cir- cumstances ... justify an amendment to today's official returns" the totals will stand, she said. Gore decided to hold off an appeal Lewis' ruling and press forward with recounts in four Democratic-lean- ing counties. Gore's advisers hope Harris will approve the hand-counted ballots -- though they expect the worst- and are prepared to appeal if she does not. "If the secretary of state arbitrarily refuses to accept the amended returns CLASSES ntinued from Page 1 Even though most students agree they still rely primarily on advice from friends as well as descriptions fror course guides, many other resources available to students choosing classes. "I usually go through 'Advice Online the (Michigan Student Assembly) Web Engineering junior Suzanne Martin When doing her online course descri arch, she said, "I don't take a cla ere isn't a description, because the pr( sor didn't take the time to let me know.' VOTING Continued from Page1 made up now, the major difficulty is getting them to log on," she said. Election Chair Stephen Lund said he agrees that students who are oing to vote probably already ow who they're going to vote for, but he does not think the loss of last minute campaigning on the Diag because of inclement weather will hinder any overall election based on the recount and violates what this court has ruled ... which is to accept those results unless she has good reason not to, then we will be back in court," said a new member of Gore's massive legal team, David Boies. With Harris' announcement, the bat- tle lines were clearly drawn: Bush's team says the manual recounts are con- ducted with no set standards in Democ- ratic-leaning counties with the sole purpose of pushing Gore ahead. The vice president's team argues that the painstaking process is the only way to ensure that every Florida voter is heard. The spotlight will remain on Harris as she decides whether to accept the county recounts. Another pivot point is Friday, when overseas ballots are due and counting begins. The race tumbled to the courts after a statewide machine recount trimmed Bush's lead from 1,784 votes to a few hundred, prompting Gore to push for painstaking manual recounts and Bush to fight them in courts of law and pub- lic opinion. Officials in two counties tabulated ballots by hand yesterday, with action in two other jurisdictions pending. Shoving matches and shouting fits punctuated the action inside and out- side Florida's courtrooms. Jeb Bush said things were getting "nerve-rack- ing" throughout his state. "I can't even walk around outside now," he said at a town hall meeting 60 miles northwest of Tallahassee. President Clinton weighed in from Air Force One, telling AP reporters he hopes the dispute doesn't lead to a presidency crippled by controversy. Watch out for Winter The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 7 Continued from Page 1 Members of the Defend Affirmative Action Party believe they are the primary leaders on the assembly DAAP candidate Neal Lyons said. DA AP "has been the main driving force around-. every issue that has come past the assembly," Lyons. Ssaid. DAAP members said if they were to gain the majority; of the assembly in the fall elections, they could accom-- plish more in regard to students' rights. "If we were the numerically dominant party it would' eliminate many obstacles," party founder Jessica Curtin said. The Michigan Party believes the assembly is divided in what it wants to accomplish, party head Doug Tietz- said. "Everyone has their own self interest in mind - we just can't seem to get anything done." said Tietz, who is- running for an LSA seat. Michigan Party candidate Chuck Wang said the party would work to get the assembly operating togeth-'. c.- "We need to unify MSA in getting things accom plished," Wang said. Independent candidate Tony Goodman said there is. not much improvement necessary in leadership of the assembly. "I think we have a great president this year," he said. Fellow independent Zack Slates said he disagrees and thinks Ilideki's leadership has gotten better, but MSA still has work to do. "The assembly is distanced from the student body," Slates said. "It needs to be more accessible to stu- dents. Independent candidate Dan Barrera said he believes that individual agendas detract from MSA leadership but there is no single solution. "All the reps have their own goals," Barrera said. "It's like any government," he said. "There's no one thing leadership can do to make it more cohesive." -u s aid she uses efit from admirable professors rather than' while picking those that merely fulfill requirements. not the most "You benefit so much more with a good cLiss search as professor.

Online resources for class selection include tools from the MSA Website to the LSA Online Course Guide. As MSA com- munications chair, LSA sophomore Matt Nolan said that "Advice Online" on the MSA site has gotten more than 94,000 hits since it went online April 9, 1997. When considering the best aspect of "Advice Online," Nolan said he looks for- ward to "comparing estimated grades between classes. It's also nice to see how GSls are rated." The MSA site issues report card-like rat- ings that rank professors and GSIs in under- graduate and graduate schools. Rankings are based upon evaluation forms filled out by students at the end of the term. "While our staff would be the first to admit that there are certain drawbacks to these forms, they remain a useful resource for gauging the performance of instructors at our large university," according to the MSA Website. "The evaluations, as repro- duced by Advice Online, can be extremely useful in helping students search for high quality courses." "I think a professor makes you enjoy or not enjoy a class.

Lund said he also does not think voter fraud will be a problem this time around, as it was during the 1999 Winter MSA election. Seventy-four fraudulent votes were cast in that election from a computer at Mary Markley Resi- dence Hall, leading to a partial revote. Information and Technology Division Webmaster Kevin McGowen said it is possible for ITD to ensure that voter fraud won't happen again by using a snapshot method of monitoring the polling results. McGowen said students who have voted will receive an e-mail confirming their vote. "If they didn't vote, they should reply to the e-mail," he said. McGowen said he suggests stu- dents to change login passwords for the elections. "It all hinges on your unigname and password," McGowen said, referring to how students can protect themselves and the integrity of the election pro- ceedings. Candidates are confident that voter fraud will not damage their totals, but they do think the weather will play a role in not only discour- aging voters but also candidates. "I was going to camp out on the Diag but with this weather that won't be happening," Cash said. Fellow Blue Party candidate Matt Nolan said he agrees the weather may pose a nuisance for last minute cam- paign efforts. "It's gonna be a lot harder to play music on the Diag when no one wants to put their boombox in the snow." but he is confident that it will not discourage those who truly she reserves time for her afternoon Pierpont Commons on North Cam' want to vote. Independent candidate Tony Goodman said he has been doing all he can from putting up signs to send- ing mass e-mails, but he still believes regardless of the weather,, "It's gonna be hard to win as an independent. I guess I'll find out Saturday."The polls will close at 11:59 p.m. tomorrow night. Students' interested in voting need to go to wwwt-.1mich.edu/-vote in order to cast their ballot.
