The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 23, 2002 - 7 MSA Continued from Page . "Depiction of black males is negative. The only time they mention black male is about crime," McDonald said. While normally there is plenty of sitting room for constituents, at last night's meeting every seat in the house was full and the walls of the MSA chambers were lined with students. Most came to give their personal opinions of the Daily. While most constituents who spoke publicly urged MSA representatives to support the boycott and listed the ways they feel the Daily misrepresents minority stu- dents and organizations, after the vote most constituents asked to speak off the record and not be quoted. Students supporting the boycott spoke of demands that they said need to be met before it can end. Constituents spoke, pushing for a public statement printed by the Daily that would act as an apology for its 0 misrepresentation of minorities. Two minority staff members of the Daily also spoke, asking MSA not to support the resolution and saying that the minority leaders speaking in favor of the boy- cott were not representing them. They said the Daily was making improvements internally by drafting an internal mission statement and discussing the issues addressed in the boycott with staff members. Daily Editor in Chief Jon Schwartz said he was disap- pointed by MSA's support of the boycott, but that it was not unexpected. Schwartz has, in the past, said that the Daily is far more concerned with the legitimate con- cerns of the coalition than the subsequent boycott. The Minority Affairs Commission first proposed the resolution at MSA three weeks ago. Since then, the Les- bian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Commis- sion and the Women's Issues Commission have signed on along with 30 other student groups. Also at last night's meeting, MSA voted to fund edu- cation on the University's use of race-based admissions policies, although they did not pass a resolution voicing support for affirmative action. I I Just passing by Blue Out seeks to show unity agaist Mic igan State at Nov. 2 game BLUE OUT Continued from Page 1 the Blue Out in full effect will be exhilarating to the whole team, and everyone will know the fans definitely got our back," senior co-captain Ben- nie Joppru said. There will be commemorative long- sleeved T-shirts available for all fans that wish to Go Blue. Because the Blue Out is student organized and intended simply to unite and energize the fans and players, the T-shirts are available for just $10. The T-shirts are available at this price because the organizers do not intend to make a profit - they sim- ply want a unified spirit at the foot- ball games. The T-shirts will have the Blue Out logo on the front with the date of the game. The back will read, "Go Blue! Beat MSU!" and will be available in front of the Michigan Union, on the Diag and in front of Touchdown Cafe on South Universi- ty Street. Sales begin today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students have noticed the same "When I saw the Nebraska game and saw the sea of red, I wondered if we could pull it off." - Jason Bartle LSA sophomore trend at other university stadiums.' "When I saw the Nebraska game and saw the sea of red, I wondered if we could pull it off," LSA sophomore Jason Bartle said. "It would be sweet to look around and see blue every- where. It is definitely about time we did something like that." Blue Out organizers are hoping to start a tradition, but this year they just want to get the word out. "The important thing to us this year is to be sure the students are unified," Feferman said. "If nothing else, if sec- tions 25-31 are in blue, we will have succeeded."

"What are you going to believe?" he said. "She doesn't have a solid understanding of what working men and women go through." Posthumus pledged to avoid raising local proper- ty taxes. In fact, much of Posthumus' campaign agenda centers around utilizing further tax cuts to spur continued job growth. Throughout his campaign, Posthumus has credited Engler's tax cut pro- grams for motivating job growth and refueling a staggering economy, while promising not to raise KOLB Continued from Page 1 the House in 2001. Kolb said the state can combat pollution by increasing environmental law enforcement, giving businesses financial incentives to clean up their acts, and promoting alternate sources of energy. Michigan should form environmental industrial parks to encourage companies to use each others' by-products, cutting down on waste and pollution, he said. "What we have to realize is that environ- ment protection is not a negative impact on eco- nomic development." There are also viable ways the state can encour- age homeowners to make their own energy using windmills or solar panels, Kolb said. Using a net * metering system, homes would pay lower bills if they returned energy to their electrical company. One of the environmental issues Kolb said concerns him most is the preservation of agri- cultural land. "Urban sprawl is basically the inefficient use of land, and that's what we're seeing," he said. the michigan daily a single tax. Posthumus hopes to promote further job growth by cutting Michigan's Income and Single Business taxes. The two taxes, currently 4.2 and 2.1 percent respectively, were traditionally decreased .1 percent each year, but lower state revenues halted the cuts. Posthumus began his political career managing Engler's campaign for the state House of Repre- sentatives. He was elected to the state Senate in 1982 and then replaced the governor as the Sen- ate's majority leader in 1990 when Engler was elected to his first term as governor. At the fundraiser, state Rep. Gene DeRossett, a Republican from Freedom Township who is seek- ing re-election, cited Posthumus' legislative experi- ence as a reason to vote for him. To solve the problem, Kolb said the state must find new sources of funding for the Purchase of Development Rights programs that allow local governments to plan how land will be used. Apart from environmental protection, Kolb named stimulating economic development and improving public education and health care as his top priorities. As a member of the House committee that allo- cates money to higher education, Kolb also wants more funding for Michigan's public universities. "We can see a direct proportion of how much the state gives universities and how much tuition goes up," he said. "I doubt there's a better investment of public rev- enue than into our public universities." Michigan State University's proximity to the state capital of Lansing gives it an edge over the University of Michigan in funding that needs to be addressed, he said. Budget shortfalls will require cuts in some pro- grams, and Kolb said one place to look is the state's prisons, clogged with drug users and the mentally ill. SCHOLAR Continued from Page 1 communist countries to democratic market economies," Svejnar added. Over the years, it has expanded its scope to include coun- tries across the world, Svejnar said. At its annual conference in Washington last April, the subject of income gaps between poor and wealthy countries was examined. "It's the only institute that's dedicated to transition and emerging economies," Svejnar said. There are currently 160 scholars with the institute. Many work at the University level, while others work at research institutes and some are policy-makers. University faculty members account for 40 members. As for why Albright was selected to become a schol- ar, Chite said the institute was seeking a major public figure. "We wanted somebody who would bring stature and recognition to the position and the institute. We set our sights high. We think it's a validation of the work we ENGINEERING Continued from Page 1 ing and the Diag on North Campus," Coronado said. "If a new building gets built, it would have to be beyond the Fran- cois-Xavier Bagnoud building, and that would be too far and we'll need more buses." With most engineering students using the University bus system, Coronado expressed the necessity of more buses and bus routes to accommodate an expanding North Campus. "The North Commuter bus only runs till 7:30 p.m.," Coro- nado said. "With the reconstruction, we will need more buses and bus routes to cover the increased space." Although these concerns were raised about the effects of the donations and reconstruction program, the future of North Campus seems likely to be the home of a revamped and strengthened Engineering college. "The faculty in the College of Engineering are excited and optimistic about the future," Director said.
