Concluding the events of the night, University organizations including Hillel, LGBT and the United Asian American Association presented the Ileto family with a hate-crime quilt. A patch of the Olt was specially created by each group to show their support in this issue. Immediately following the pre- sentation, there was a moment of silence for all the victims of racial- ly-motivated or discriminatory acts. LSA senior Naomi Baum said attendance was much better than she expected. "It's unbelievable to see such a sincere, interested group of diverse students," said Baum, one 0he speakers for the Ahara Jewish LGBT and Friends Association. "The event was really good.... Hearing speakers who have experi- enced (hate crimes) made it more powerful," said Jane Kim, an LSA Shopping around ASHCROFT Continued from Page 1 he is trying to do that," Denno said. Bush has introduced many plans that have drawn bipartisan support in his first two weeks as president, but Ashcroft's nomination has left a deeply divided Senate. White House spokesman Ari Fleis- cher said moments after a Senate majority had voted for Ashcroft that Bush "will be very pleased to have his Cabinet in place and ready to work for the American people." "The votes have been bipartisan, and this vote by definition, too, is bipartisan," Fleischer said. Ashcroft's successor in the Senate, Democrat Jean Carnahan of Missouri, voted against her family's longtime political rival. Her late husband, Gov. Mel Carnahan, defeated Ashcroft posthumously after a plane crash dur- ing their campaign, and Jean Carna- han was appointed to what would have been his seat in the Senate. Jean Carnahan said Ashcroft "was just too divisive for our country." She called her vote "an act of conscience." Fleischer said members of the Con- gressional Black Caucus told Bush on Wednesday about their "deep passion" in opposing Ashcroft's nomination but no one asked the president to with- draw it. "They implored him to make cer- tain that the Department of Justice enforces civil rights laws, and is sensi- tive to civil rights concerns. The presi- dent said, 'I hear you,'" Fleischer said. "He thinks John Ashcroft is a man of integrity. He is a good man and he will enforce the civil rights laws. He said he talked to John Ashcroft about. this when selecting him." Senate Majority Whip Don Nickles (R-Okla.) said he was "bothered by- the intensity of opposition" to Ashcroft. "I have absolute, total, complete confidence that he is going to be one outstanding attorney general of the United States," Nickles said. "He's as qualified as anybody probably has ever been to be attorney general." Frustrating the task were several Democrats who endorsed Ashcroft's nomination, including Dodd, who - declared his intention in less-than- glowing terms late Wednesday. While there is evidence Ashcroft Y "can be a healer," Dodd said, "I remain concerned that he will, as he appears to have done at times in the past, submit to the temptation to divide Americans along racial lines." Criticism focused on Ashcroft's bat- tIes against abortion and against a school desegregation lawsuit while serving as Missouri governor and attorney general. sophomore. The vigil was the first at the Uni- versity to focus on promoting the recognition and prevention of hate nes, Leija said, and there is the possibility of making it an annual event.

Like Lambda Chi Alpha, Interfrater- nity Council members now face the challenge of finding locations for Greek social events. "Ann Arbor isn't like Wisconsin with 150 bars, so we're limited to an amount of third-party vendors," Hustvedt said. Hustvedt said IFC is in the process of modifying its social policy to support alcohol-free houses. "We're encouraging houses to use third party vendors and d Garrett from "Everybody loves d." s included actor Jason Alexander einfeld," actor Martin Short, actress Griffen from "Suddenly Susan," Mull of "Roseanne," singer Vitamin ermit the Frog. ough Boot is not allowed to say she won, she did reveal her playing tched the show every single night. stions are all just chance, but there is a definite strategy to winning," Boot said.

The college tournament airs once a year, but show officials could not say whether Holly- wood Squares will be visiting the University of Michigan campus again. "We don't plan that far ahead," Gendreau said. make a conceited effort to move events out of the chapter houses,"he said. Small said although having parties at other locations is an option for many fraternities, it is too costly for his chapter, which does not receive significant funding from nationals. The chapter's solution has been to hold fewer parties. "It's been a bit of a problem," Small said. "We just try to limit our alcohol completely. Sometimes it's hard to control everyone in the house." After the National Panhellenic Con- ference passed a resolution last year that banned member sororities from co-sponsoring alcohol-related events with fraternities, many sororities chose to go to third-party venues, Hustvedt said. "We are helping them get better bus prices and we are encouraging presidents to start moving towards third-party vendors," he said. This change has paved the way for IFC members who have decided to go alcohol-free. "We've already seen four times as many party vendors and that's mostly inspired by sororities and NPC, since sororities can't sponsor events with alcohol," Hustvedt said. PARENTS Continued from Page 1 tailgate parties. Fifteen activities are planned for the week- end, including attending different lectures at the University like Engineering 101 and Geology 117. A newly added event is a continental breakfast at the Har- lan Hatcher Graduate Library during which the weekend's participants can view rare pieces of the University's collec- tion, such as ancient Egyptian papyrus and the journals of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. "The University is very excited to display pieces of their rare collection to the students and their parents;' Hodges said. Most of the ticketed events are sold out, but there are plenty of activities.still open for parents who still want to attend, Hodges said. Besides being able to see their parents over the weekend, many students are excited that they will be able to have a break from residence hall food when their are here to visit, LSA freshman Jane Viventi said. "There are a bunch of my friends in my hall that have their parents coming too, so we are all planning to go out to eat together," Viventi said. LSA sophomore Jeremy Kressmann said his parents aren't visiting because of the crowded conditions Parents Weekend creates in Ann Arbor. "It is just too congested. My parents are coming up another weekend when it is less crowded," he said.
