The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 1, 2001- 7A n USES tinued from Page IA a °- ositions may be consolidated, but we don't want give the impression that someone could lose their job," she said. Brown stressed that negotiations are in the early s ges and nothing has been solidified about service hours. "There is discussion that some of the hours that are iyen to part-time drivers might be part of what AATA picks up, but those discussions are still in early negoti- on stages," she said. Brown also denied rumors that the entire University I bus system could be eliminated. "We just ordered buses and we're planning on ordering more," she said. "We will continue to look at ways to make it more efficient." University Parking and Transportation Services offi- cials plan to meet with employees Saturday to discuss the negotiations with AATA. The University's relationship with AATA has inten- sified through the years, as AATA has become more involved with the transport of students. In addition to NG LER would direc establish M Continued from Page 1A Vallels M Valy." Sp serving remote lots such as the joint commuter lot on South State Street, the AATA has helped the Universi- ty in transportation crunches. Brown said the University established an agree- ment with AATA last summer when a bus mainte- nance garage burned down. Increasing its agreements with AATA would also create more efficient routes, Brown said. "It would be different if our campus was closed, but we have city streets running througli campus, so it's a major thoroughfare," she said. Brown said new routes would increase the number of stops on and near campus and accommodate the needs of staff and students who live farther away. By expanding routes, the partnership would extend Uni- versity bus services to much of Washtenaw County, Brown said. "Students come from parts of the county that aren't two miles away" Brown said. Cunningham said he has heard a persistent com- plaint about AATA and the University bus service not operating as one system. Cunningham said the University does not serve off-campus areas as well as it could. "We want to align our services to get the ability to take a bus from home or school or work or to take a bus from a remote lot," he said. Cunningham said the services would remain free in order to encourage students to use the bus system. "We're trying to get more students using the Univer- sity buses instead of cars and congesting parking," Cunningham said. LSA senior Chris MacKechnie, a driver since 1996, said the issue is politically sensitive and could elimi- nate the jobs of students who need to work in order to eat and pay their tuition. MacKechnie said it would be difficult for a combined service with AATA to accomplish change because of unfamiliarity with student needs. "Students wanted better weekend bus service, air- conditioning, and year-long service and we accommo- dated them," MacKechnie said. "We've been serving students since 1960 and we have experience in knowing what to fix," he said. "The University bus system is an efficient system and the proposed plan for better service can be accomplished in the current framework." GENDER Continued from Page 1A addition to the University of Michigan and MIT, were the universities of Penn- sylvania and California at Berkeley, the California Institute of Technology and Princeton, Yale, Harvard and Stanford universities. Tedesco pointed out that three of the nine leaders at the workshop had ties, to the University of Michigan. Besides Bollinger, Princeton Presi- dent Harold Shapiro is a former University of Michigan president and MIT President Charles Vest is a former University of Michigan provost. "It says something about the importance of the role of Michigan in these conversations," Tedesco said. Beilyn said the most crucial develop- ment at the conference was recognition of the problem from people who arejn a place to change it. "It happens," she said. "The nim- bers show it, the experiences otthe people show it. It's very important that .these universities work on it." You CANtrnsferto SNRE! :tly affect Ann Arbor is to Michigan as another "Silicon eaking about the develop- power of the people;'Smith said. " Rep. Wayne Kuipers (R-Holland) said he is forgoing final judgment until .he sees the actual proposed plan but feels the idea would "allow more peo- pIe to have input." The proposal tied in with gler's support of state Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Weaver's *modified federal plan" to appoint all members of the court similar to the way in which federal judges are appointed by the president and con- firmed by the U.S. Senate. A con- stitutional amendment was introduced to the state Senate on Tuesday by Sen. Ken Sikkema (R- '. GFandville). *Another part of Engler's plan that ment of the second-generation Inter- net, dubbed "Internet 2," Engler said he wanted its leadership team "to make Ann Arbor their permanent home. " "Our message to Internet 2," he said: "Go Blue!" "That's going to be a real real big plus for us. The spillover is just going to be a huge plus for my district," said Rep. Laura Toy (R-Livonia). Engler, who several times noted that taxes in the state have been continu- ously dropping, proposed efforts to attract high-tech companies. "Let's put out the welcome mat and exempt them from Michigan's state business tax," he said. "He's trying to develop a whole cor- ridor of high-technology from Ann Arbor to Wayne State," said Sen. Mat Dunaskiss (R-Lake Orion). Although many Democrats said they found Engler's plans for high- technology uplifting, some expressed reservations that the Engler administration was moving too quickly away from problems that still exist. There are more important reasons to move to a state than tax cuts, said House Minority Leader Kwame Kil- patrick of Detroit, adding that those need to be worked out before focus is transferred to less pressing issues. "Before we go to the next we need to deal with the now," Kilpatrick said. Rep. Jack Minore (D-Flint), the assistant minority floor leader, said in order to attract high-tech companies, Michigan would be better off with fewer tax cuts and more educated workers. "High-tech companies tend to locate where there is a good work- force,"he said. Engler admitted that not every- thing is perfect. Making education once again his top priority, the gov- ernor said there are 208 schools in which three out of four children cannot read. "Here he has been in office for 10 years and he is concerned about 208 schools," Smith said. "What has he been doing for the last 10 years?" Michigan has fixed many of the problems that plagued the state in the 1980s and '90s, said Lt. Gov. Dick Posthumus. "Now we can go on to the next generation of issues that can bring people together."

There are 117 more ethanol-fueled vehicles on order, he said. Also, the University's diesel-powered vehicles use a special fuel called bio-diesel, which is a mix of diesel fuel and a soy-based product. And the University recently purchased seven new buses that produce 97 percent fewer hydrocar- bons, 87 percent less particulate matter and 28 percent less nitrous oxide than the 1988 buses in the fleet. "We've done a lot of serious work and it's been going on for a number of years," Baier said, adding that discussions with the ELPC will be ongoing.
