The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 17, 2003 - 9 Comments by Bus spark protest on campus RALLY Continued from Page 1 "Once people understand clearly the University's admissions policies and see it's not quotas, there will be a positive reaction to offset the negative," Massie said. The brief Bush filed with the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday declaring his opposition to the Uni- versity's policies has spurred new intensity in the pending decision by the Supreme Court. Agnes Aleobua, BAMN member and student inter- vener - a personal witness to the impact diversity and integration have on the University's atmosphere - said she was not worried about the potentially neg- ative influence of Bush's statement on the Court. "I'm just more determined more than ever. We have our work cut out to defend affirmative action," Ale- obua said. 'Say no to Bush, say yes to integration' read one of the signs BAMN members at the conference held as they called against the re-segregation they said Bush offered have all failed where they have tried. To say that there is a 'race neutral' method of addressing problems that stem from racism simply flies in the face of facts," Miranda Massie, an attorney for the student defendants, said in a written statement. Aleobua said Bush contradicted himself when he claimed to stand for diversity while opposing the only program of integration that allows minorities into the University in great numbers for the first time. "Bush does not have the authority to move society back," she added. Asking youth to show their support for affirmative action when the case is heard, BAMN continues to garner support for their protest march on Washington, D.C., when the Court hears the case. Aleobua, now a School of Education senior, first joined the case while in high school, said the Court will pay more attention to the civil march than. to an amicus filed by Bush. "The Supreme Court will look out of the window and look around and see minorities and white youth marching," Aleobua said. "They will feel accountable to the crowd, based on (its) demands." Consumers face high pnces at the gas pumps OIL Continued from Page 1 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. "$1.3 was the average, but now we are seeing $1.5 per gallon," Jason Boekeloo, the gas station's manager, said. With the higher gas prices, Rackham graduate Adhi Tjandra, who lives on North Campus and drives to school almost everyday, said he would switch to filling his car in the gas stations in Washtenaw, where the prices are relatively lower than the gas stations near campus. "I have noticed the gas prices went up and I don't know what I could do if it continues to rise," Rackham graduate Nirav Patel said. Although the cost of driving will continue to go up, Patel said he would not stop driving completely because of the inconvenience. Engineering senior Tamar Gontovnik said she did not think the gas prices were very high but the recent increase in prices might "encourage some people to reserve more energy." wants to institute.

James Tinney, spokesman for the University of Indiana, said Bepko is paid the equivalent of $30,000 a year - excluding travel, car and phone allowances - and holds the title of assistant to the president. As the husband of Ohio State Uni- versity President Karen Holbrook, retired oceanographer Jim Holbrook is in a situation similar to Ken Cole- man. Jim's duties are general, but focus on supporting his wife and the MLK Continued from Page 1 "I think it's degrading and disre- spectful. It shows where some peo- ple's mindsets are," said Lediju, who added that he personally tore down some of the fliers from the glass wall in Haven Hall. Office of the President. Like Ken Coleman, he receives no direct monetary payments for his work. "I have the luxury of doing things that help without receiving compensation," Jim said. He said that many spouses prefer not having any formal responsibilities because they can choose what proj- ects they would like to work on. But, he added that if the amount of money offered were appropriate enough, many spouses would accept it. "Many spouses of presidents feel that compensation, if adequate, would be welcomed. More often, (compen- sation has) been token in nature. When converted to a dollar per hour wage, it is below minimum wage," Holbrook said. Spouses of the presidents of Michi- gan State University and the Universi- ty of Minnesota, Twin Cities, also do not receive salaries, but do play a role at the school. Joanne Mcpherson, wife of Michi- gan State President Peter Mcpherson, started Safe Place, a domestic abuse shelter on campus. Terry Dunbow, school spokesman, said she is also active in the revitalization of home- coming festivities and the preparations for the school's 150th anniversary. The University of Minnesota has a written policy concerning com- pensation and duties for the spouse of the president. The spouse is expected to represent the university at a variety of events, and is for reimbursed travel costs and car mileage - much like salaried employees. BRIEFS Continued from Page 1. among the briefs sent to the Supreme Court yesterday, University of Virginia law Prof. Kim Forde-Mazrui said. The influence of the solicitor general, who files briefs in the president's name, is often comparable to that of a tenth jus- tice in the Court, he added. "They will listen to his brief more then they would any other amicus. It is a voice that carries a good deal of respect among the justices," Forde- Mazrui said. But Forde-Mazrui added that in this case, the brief will not influence jus- tices who have predetermined opinions on the use of race as an admissions factor. "For the most part, it will carry little weight ... given their positions on affirmative action are fairly well-developed." University law Prof. Evan Caminker said Supreme Court rulings have often contradicted past presidents' opinions. "There are many occasions when the Court rejects out of hand the position of the United States," Caminker said. In addition to Bush, organiza- tions ranging from the state of Florida to the Center for New Black Leadership also filed briefs yester- day, but Levey said the number of briefs sent to the Supreme Court will have no influence on the Court's ruling. "Amicus briefs only influence the decision to the extent that they make good arguments," Levey said. "The number of amicus briefs on each side will not influence the argument." Even well-presented legal argu- ments will not significantly influ- ence the final decisions of justices with predetermined opinions on the use of racial criteria in admissions policies, said Prof. Robert Post, a legal scholar at the University of California at Berkeley. "This is not a case of first impres- sions for these justices. We know how they think,"he said. - The Associated Press contributed to this report. Other students said thy were unaware that a symposium even exists. "I am planning to go home to take advantage of the three-day weekend. I didn't even know there was a symposium," said LSA fresh- man Alex Dengel. Other MLK Day Symposium events include a live concert by a local hip-pop band from Detroit Sunday night, a theater workshop by Janet Shier and Gayle Martin in East Quad Residence Hall on Jan. 24, and a lecture titled "Cowboy Bush and Indians: Frontier Mentali- ty and Mother Earth" by Tom Gold- tooth on Jan. 29, 2003. the michigan daily STILLAVAIL.
