The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 30, 2001-- 7 Hundreds rally behind Jackson on Diag JACKSON Continued from Page 1c der is a factor. Geography is a factor.... Let's include all the factors and make American uni-s versities look like America's future," he said. S During the rally, Coalition to Defend Affirma-r tive Action By Any Means Necessary membert Erika Dowdell addressed Martin Luther King Jr.'sl "I have a dream" speech, in which he said, "We have come to cash this check - a check that willr give us upon demand the riches of freedom and t the security ofjustice."f Dowdell, an LSA junior, said it is time to fulfill King's dream. "This new movement must demand that that check be cashed. We will fightt this case all the way to the Supreme Court and wer will not end until we see every race being repre- sented in our schools and every institution of edu-i cation." Dowdell said Friedman admitted racism is ar part of society but said his decision showed hes does not care. "We will not stand for his 'oh well' attitude. We will not have an 'oh well' attitude. Wes want integration in this society - now,'she said. BAMN member Jessica Curtin, a Rackham t student, said the decision took her by surprise but she is confident that "one man" is not the decid-J ing factor in tle fight against affirmative action. "We know that we are right, we know thata racism exists in this society and that there musts be social programs to offset it. We are going to gos to the Supreme Court and win," she said.v NPR Continued from Page 1 low standards." But Lehman defended the Law School's affirma- tive action policy. S "Race matters more in society than it ought to;' Lehman said. "This is not something that was creat- ed by our admissions policy." He added that the Law School is very selective of all applicants, regardless of race. "It's a matter of choosing between a talented and diverse class and a talented un-diverse class," he said. "And students simply receive a better educa- tion in a diverse environment." Donna Pettway, an LSA junior, challenged an ear- ier statement by McWhorter that affirmative action Miranda Massie, the lead attorney for the stu- *. gWSg 111.' 11 W dent intervenors in the lawsuit, called the judge's ... opinion "dishonest,"wretched," "backward" and "regressive." Massie said Friedman's ruling should not hold up in higher courts but urged all students to read the 90-page opinion. "You cannot read that opinion with an open mind and think that Judge Friedman ever had an open mind, before, during or after the trial." Jackson called on students to join the national march in Washington, planned for October, and the national conference on affirmative action planned for April or May that will be held here. "It should be a national conference here to pre- pare for a major logistical gathering," Jackson told reporters after the rally. "Race is too funda- mental to our culture." Curtin later said the point of the rally is to impact the decision of the Supreme Court. Most students supported Jackson's ideas, but not everyone was impressed with what he had to say. "I'm reallyexcited about the initiative that the students have taken" said LSA freshman Natoya Coleman. "I have a sense of comfort that every- thing's going to turn out to be okay."' "I think he was avoiding a lot of the topic," said John Donovan, an Engineering sophomore. Donovan, who said he does not believe taking away affirmative action will lead to resegregation, said Jackson spent too much time focusing on LS1 segregation and not affirmative action. "I think he oPF was just finding something to attack." jud stigmatizes minorities. Pettway said that as a black student at the University, she doesn't feel any nega- tive benefits of affirmative action. Rather, she con- tinued, she's outraged by the challenges to the policy. McWhorter's response caused audience members to gasp in shock. "The civil rights leaders of yesteryear would be perplexed to hear a young black student indignantly defending her right to be judged by lower stan- dards," he said. "No race has ever climbed to the top that way and neither will we." Pettway then said affirmative action doesn't take away from the consideration given to her grades or essays. Miranda Massie, lead attorney for the student intervenors in the lawsuit, said she was infuriated SHOWS Continued from Page 1 acts, piano playing, comic skits, tra- ditional Persian and modern hip-hop dancing. There are four parts to the show, which, Breakstone said, "will really serve as one play, one story." More than 30 students have been working on the skits since January. Breakstone, an LSA junior, said although the show is much smaller than other cultural performances, PSA is still expecting a large turnout for the show. "We're small but mighty. I'm hop- ing that we can draw 1,700 people from a 37,000-person student body. We're just asking for a small slice of campus," he said, adding that the previous years' shows, held at small- er venues, both sold out. The purpose of the show is to unite the Persian community. "We don't care what your politics are. It's absolutely not political. If our community were to unite, we could have a greater impact than we currently have," Breakstone said. The event also serves as a way to celebrate the Persian New Year, which was the first day of spring. "We're excited. I haven't slept for the past two weeks just doing all the preparation, but it's worth it at the end because the show will be fantas- tic and all the work - falling behind in class - will be justified," said PSA board member Mahshid Pirzadeh, an Engineering sopho- more. The ASA cultural and fashion show, African Nights, is also tomor- row night at 7 p.m. Attendees who dress in authentic African attire get $1 off the admission price. Traditional African and hip hop dancing is planned for the night. Dramatic skits about the history of slavery and poetry also will be per- formed. "You kind of get a taste of every- thing in one show," said ASA execu- tive board member Yvonne Butler. The event, previously held at the Michigan Union, was moved to the Michigan League for this year. AMAKER Continued from Page 1. recruited Shane (Battier) whenhe was on my team for AAU, so I know him a little from that. "He's a good guy, and he was just talking to everybody, getting to know each other, and letting us know what he was going to expect from us and what was going to change around here." Besides the throng of media and players in attendance for the press con- ference, a few Maize Ragers were on hand to, as one put it, "personally thank Tommy Amaker for coming here." "You put (the students) on the floor, bring us Tommy Amaker, I'll get excit- ed," LSA sophomore Brian Groesser said. Amaker comes to Michigan after spending four years as Seton Hall's head coach. In that time, the Pirates were 68-55 with four postseason berths, including a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 a year ago. Amaker also served as an assistant at his alma mater Duke for eight seasons, during which the Blue Devils reached five Final Fours and won back-to-back national championships. As a player, Amaker served as Duke's team captain in 1986-87, earn- ing All-America and National Defen- sive Player of the Year honors. DETROIT Continued from Page 1 All of the activities will take place in and around Brightmoor, in the northwestern part of the city. Students will gather in a nark early tomorrow morning where they will hear several speakers before breaking off into their groups. Sterken said she joined the Detroit Project "as a way to get myself involved in a different circle of friends." Foley said the group includes peo- ple from every single school and col- lege at the University. "I can't think of another University group that brings that diverse of a group together," Foley said. ABBY ROSENBAUM/Daily A Junior Akiha Jones walks past an affirmative action ponent yesterday on the Diag at the rally to protest a ge's ruling against the Law School's admission policy. that the intervenors were not represented on the panel, particularly in light of the last-minute addi- tion of Purdy to the show. "It's outrageous," she said. "The show was scan- dalously biased. They had one person speaking for the University and two for the position that minority students are inferior. No one was up there to stand up for the minority students." The second hour of the broadcast was devoted to the changing face of higher education. University President Lee Bollinger joined presidents from a Georgia community college, a regional college in Washington state and a private liberal arts college in Minnesota to confront questions about tuition costs and financial aid, distance learning and com- petition for students among the various types of schools. the michigan daily EARN $125.
