The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 7 Blue Party congratulates Students First candidates but await results of recount MSA Continued from Page 1 Board put a lot of effort into the election, which he called "one of the best elections we've ever had." In defense of his appeal, Carter said the website rejected many students' votes that he felt should have been counted. "The only intention was to make sure the votes were counted," he said. While the presidential election crisis will be resolved, a ballot initiative unofficially passed by 58 percent of voters during the election may lose much of its intended effect. The initiative raises student fees next year by $1 to provide addi- tional funding for the Ann Arbor Tenants Union, but the union may need to use a significant portion of the alloca- tions to pay for a new office. Law Rep. Chris Sheehan, who also is president of AATU's Board of Directors, said the Office Space Alloca- tion Committee rejected AATU's application for a Universi- ty office next year. He said because AATU uses the current office in the Michigan Union to provide approximately 1,500 students with everyday services, the office space is "a little more vital to us than other groups. "Students on campus who have problems with their land- lord need to know where we are for counseling," he said. The request was rejected, Sheehan said, because OSAC feels AATU does not fit "the traditional mold of a student group on campus." Sheehan said AATU is looking into alternative spaces for their office, but part of the additional funds students will pay next year will be used to fund office space. OSAC will officially ratify its decision during the second week of April. BINGE DRINKING Continued from Page 1 By looking at the Student Life data, Flax said she is going to begin focusingon targeting the student communities with the highest rates of binge drinking. "We'll continue working with the Greek community, and I want to try to do some focus work on three residence halls, one of them being Mary Markley," Flax said. "But, this is still in the early planning stages." Flax explained Markley is known to have a large number of binge drinkers, and a concentrated effort on prevention and treatment for binge drinking could be helpful there. No one knows exactly why some residence halls, such as Markley, have more drinkers than others, but some people do have a few theories. "Some speculate that because in the past some halls have had living-learning communities; friends sign up for those because they know they'd be together, and those people are continuing the activities they did in high school together, such as binge drinking," Flax said. Thompson said she has talked with friends about the per- ception of Markley as a residence hall with a lot of student alcohol use. "It's not necessarily that more people drink at Markley, but more people are caught drinking at Markley," Thompson said. "There are more experiences with first-time drinkers. I live in West Quad, and there are just as many people who drink here, but there are a lot of sophomores and older peo- ple who know how to hide it and know how to handle them- selves so they don't get caught." One campus stereotype is that students living in frater- nity or sorority houses binge drink more than students who do not, but the numbers in the Student Life survey do support this idea. Seventy-six percent of Greeks reported binge drinking recently while only 50 percent of all undergraduate stu- "There are just as many people who drink here,but there are a lot of sophomores and older people who know how to hide it and know how to handle themselves so they don't get caught."' - Mark Brewer Michigan Democratic Party Chair PILL Continued from Page 1 Students For Choice also urged students to push for easier availabil- ity of the morning after pill from the University Health Service by mak- ing appointments in large numbers with the UHS this Friday. "At the moment, morning after pills can only be prescribed to a student after an appointment with a UHS clinician, and this is usually very time-consuming," Morrissey said. Morrissey explained that while the morning after pill is not an over-the-counter drug, the organiza- tion is urging UHS to lessen the hassle of obtaining the pill so stu- dents can have it on hand in case of an emergency. Some students disagreed with the use of the morning after pill. "We will not interfere with any program organized by another group, but what the morning after pill proponents are teaching is wrong," said Andrew Shirvel, LSA senior and Students For Life presi- dent. "Emergency contraception expels fertilized eggs from the uterus and this is clearly an act of abortion," he added. LSA sophomore Roz Chambers said she thought the subject of emergency contraception can be a controversial one. "I personally disagree with the use of morning after pills because I feel that being responsible is the best way to prevent unwanted preg- nancies," Chambers said. However, many students agreed that the morning after pill should be made more widely available. "It is safe, it prevents women from having abortions and is espe- cially useful in case of rape and other emergencies," LSA sopho- more Lauren Cecil said. UHS could not be reached for comment. *HADDAD Continued from Page 1 with civil rights in our country now," Abouzhar said. "She was asking very hard-hitting questions of the government lawyers and she did also come out at times and disagree with them. ... I don't think it's going to matter if she's Democrat or Republican." The hearing brought up several issues including the accusation that the government violated the First Amendment by not allowing public viewing of Haddad's immigration hearings. The plaintiffs claim that immigra- tion hearings are only closed in extreme cases where classified information is involved. Otherwise, closed hearings represent a feature of totalitarian governments. "Abuses flourish in secret. ... Secrecy I don't think in any way enhances our national security," Herschel Fink, a lawyer for the Free Press, said. Discussion of a memo from Creppy to all immigration judges was also discussed during the hearing. In the memo dated Sept. 21, Creppy set forth new regulations for immigration hearings, including closing them off to the public. Meanwhile, the government contends that since the Immigration and Naturalization Service Court is an administrative court, hearings do not have to be open. Justice Department attorney Thankful Vanderstar refused to comment further on the case. Haddad supporters held a protest outside the court- house before the hearing. The protesters had mixed views about what the outcome of the hearing could be. Moss said she was hopeful that Haddad would benefit from Edmunds' eventual decision. "We have a very strong legal case," Moss said. But, MCA member Miriam Bajeili was not as optimistic. "I would say I'm very guarded about today's hearing. ... It doesn't address the important issue that people are being held without charge." CHAMBERS Continued from Page 1 got on Sept. I1," as well as by the history of the settlement of his homeland, Australia. "I want to help people understand the complexities of the phenome- non," he said. "The times are such that we need as much thinking as we can get." Audience members were impressed with Chambers' lecture. LSA senior Brendan Burns, who had Chambers as a professor in the past, said, "How do you react to Ross Chambers? The man is bril- liant. I can't say enough." Chambers is the recipient of the Warner G. Rice Humanities Award, which was presented to him after the lecture by LSA Dean Shirley Neu- man. Neuman praised Chambers and his many contributions to the Uni- versity. He is also a Marvin Felheim Distinguished University Prof. of French and Comparative Literature and will retire this spring, ending his 24-year tenure with the University.

"I think as far as frat parties go ... they're responsible for providing parties on campus, but they don't necessarily drink more than other people," Thompson said. "When you have parties you have alcohol. They just happen to have more parties." Panhellenic Association President and LSA junior Moni- ca Rose said she planned to use the Student Life Survey results to bring about positive change. "I meet with the chapter heads each week. This week we discussed the results and how we want to use them to estab- lish some type of educational program, especially some- thing geared more toward the women," Rose said. "I think we need to focus on the more personal aspect of it and get the message to maybe hit home a little more." Rose said Panhel and the Interfraternity Council will try to work together on some of these educational events, but the planning is still in the very early stages.

DEATH Continued from Page 1 The scene of the normally serene facility was transformed last night with police officers standing at every entrance. Late into the night employees and family members remained at the scene weeping and consoling each other. When asked about the nature of the dispute between the man and his family, AAPD Sgt. Michael Logghe said, "It appears to me it's all from some marital situation." Logghe was unable to give any more details about the incident. Police Chief Daniel Oates could not comment on other family members present at the facility. As of 12:30 this morning, the residents were back in the center and police were at the scene processing information. Normal business was expected to resume this morning.
