Preliminary estimates from Census

ra m u acounted than in 1990. Here are the
estimated percents of uncounted
Americans. (Racial categories were

.fter-the artifacts were removed and
, University administration agreed
form a panel to study issues raised
by the SCC.
Vice President for Student Affairs
I;. Royster I larper said the administra-
tion was able to hear students' con-
cerns dluring the occupation and is not
yet finished dealing with the Michiga-
mlit1a issue.
"The way we get better as an
1ist itution is to listen," Harper said,
adding that administrators did just
at during the tower occupation.
W'This does not mean that we listen
anid we do. This means we listen and
we consider," she said. "We are always
in the process of getting better."
One lingering issue for the SCC
isthat Michigamua has not changed
its name. The name was modified to
".1ic1i.tamua: New Traditions for a
New I Millennium," but SCC mem-
bcrs said that did not accomplish
it goals. Bernal added that
Michiganiua's current class has the
power to change the group's name
once again.
"They ignored legitimate pleas"
from local members of the Native
American community and resisted
adopting a different niiame, Bernal
said. "I think that's blatantly disre-
spectful to a group that's asked
them in a variety of ways. ... If it's
nol racist, it's racially insensitive."
*Although the SCC received support
frOin some University departments,
Bernal said, the administration has not
been helpful. "In general, they were
siiipposed to make it hard for us,"
Bernal said.
lernal said prominent faculty
members who claim they are com-
mnitted to minority issues "disap-
peared" during the tower
*cupation.
"What opportunity are they look-
ing for? Is it research? Is it more
We 11sten and we
consider.'

Vice president for student affairs
luncheons? Is it more speeches to
introduce keynote speakers? ... Or
is it something tangible?" Bernal
asked.
Pledges by administrators to consid-
er changes have not produced results,
Blernal said.
"The space allocation panel they
created was a joke," Bernal said.
Commissioned by harper after the
occupation, the panel was created to
decide the fate of the space in the
tower.
The three-person panel recoin-
mcnided in July that the groups
should vacate the tower. The panel
also suggested the University
enforce uniform standards in regard
to allocating meeting space for stu-
dent organizations.
"That's what we have implemented"
I larper said, adding that students and
staff are working on the details of that
policy.
One of'SCC's complaints was that
Michigamua had permanent, free
use of the space in the tower
because the group helped fund con-
struction of the Union.
As for Michigamua itself, every-
thing reiains the same, "other than
the fact that our meeting space was
different," said University alum
Rishi Moudgil, a member of last
year's Michigamua class.
"We're still trying to serve U of
M as we have," Moudiil said.
There simply was no need to radi-
cally change the society, lie said.
Moudgil said Michligtamua had
already dissociated itself' from the
practices the SCC found offensive
long before the tower occupation
drew attention to the society.

FUNDING
Continued from Page 1A
Rep. David Mead (R-Frankfbrt) said
he would look for extra money to help
bring Michigan State up to its funding
floor. While the budget for the 2002 fis-
cal year is tighter than the current bud-
get, Mead said lie thinks he can find
another S2 million to S4 million for
hiiher education.
"We have to set our sights on the
CENSUS
Continued from Page 1A
be a very uphill climb.
"We already assume that there is an
undercount," said Phil Ginotti, admin-
istrative assistant to state Sen. Bill
Schuette (R-Midland), who chairs the
Senate Reapportionment Committee.
Ginotti said the Legislature uses a
process known as "standard deviation"
to adjust for undercounts, which he said
is more accurate than statistical sam-
pling.
To find the average size of leg-
islative districts, Ginotti said, the
state population is divided among
the 110 seats in the House and 38
in the Senate. Areas that are tradi-
tionally undercounted, he said, were
given smaller districts with a lower
constituent-to-representative ratio.
"What happens is suburban areas
are dramatically under represented
and urban areas are dramatically
over represented," he added.
University Public Policy Prof.
John Chamberlin, who has studied
redistricting in Michigan since
1970, said this year is one of the
rare times in which one party has
controlled all levels of state goveri-
nent.
"From beginning to end, short of
federal courts, (Republicans) can do
whatever they want as long as they
have a majority."
Chamberlin added that since Repub-
licans control the redistricting process,
they stand to gain three or four seats in
the House of Representatives and one
or two seats in the Senate.
(inotti said the redistricting
should be completed in early
November and will take effect in
the 2002 elections.
long-term strategy to bring funding
in line," Mead said.
Western Michigan University is
the only other university that would
not meet its funding floor under
Engler's proposal for the next acad-
emic year.
Western Michigan would receive
S5,638 per student under Engler's
budget, more than the S5,424 it
received this year but less than its
funding floor of 55,700.
TEXTBOOKS
Continued from Page 1A
to be successful, it would need to be
written carefully.
"I would prefer that the law be writ-
ten in a way that we would not have to
police which of our customers are col-
lege students. If we would suddenly
have to ask for IDs, it would become
cumbersome," Nickels said.
Pritzlaff and Waller asked the repre-
sentatives at the conference to talk
with their student bodies to gain sup-
port.
Waller gave out 2,000 postcards for
students to sign and send to Rep.
Nancy C'assis (R-Novi), who chairs the
House Tax Cornmittee.
"We hope to really show Nancy
Cassis that there's student interest for
this." Waller said.
The first form of a bill to remove
sales tax from textbooks was intro-
duced in March 1997 by Rep. Vera
Rison (D-Mount Morris). Rison-s
bill also never made it out of corn
mit tee.
Arizona, Missouri, New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania have already
passed similar legislation to remove
textbook sales tax.
