Dave Pratt, an employee at Borders for over five years, said he is skeptical of Borders' recent hiring practices in light of the strike. "Borders last week had a job fair where they interviewed 100 people ... The ostensible reason is for the Christmas season, but our feel- ing is that they're hiring to replace us in event of a strike." At a meeting Tuesday night, the Michigan Student Assembly debated the passage of a resolution that pledged student support for the Union. Ultimately, the resolution failed. MSA President Angela Galardi said she was upset that the resolution did not pass. "Some (representatives) got bogged down with numbers and living wage ideas where this is simply more about asking a corporation to negotiate with workers just as we ask the admin- istration to negotiate with us over stu- dent issues. It's about bringing people together in good faith." COME JOIN THE DAILY. GIVE US A CAULLAT 7.6 DAILY. WTO Continued from Page 1A suggested the organization allow pub- lic viewing in a manner similar to the U.S. Supreme Court. The man's suggestions were met with chuckles from the audience and were quickly disputed by Jara, who cited confidentiality issues and the fact that the WTO is not a lawmaking entity as reasons why the public should not be allowed to view their proceedings. Still, some students in attendance were not convinced that global trade agreements were in the best interest of poor countries, but were not as vocally critical of the WTO. Rackham student Neravan Rojchaichaninthorn expressed doubt that economically empowered coun- tries such as the United States would take the interests of developing nations into consideration when deciding trade disputes and establishing policies. "I don't think it can be done in a multilateral forum easily," Rojchaichaninthorn said. "Bilateral and regional agreements will be important for developing countries until the WTO can produce a priority for all developing countries, particu- larly for countries in Asia and Latin America." TRAVEL Continued from Page 1A ensure the security of passengers, while the 2002 Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act tight- ened constraints on aliens. Overall, the stringency of the poli- cies has cast a shade of unrest among international students at the Universi- ty, said Louise Baldwin, assistant director of the University of Michigan International Center. The polices "caused more anxiety among students," she said. Tighter immigration policies also coincide with a slight decrease in new international students enrolled at the University from last year, according to the Office of the Registrar. Unoffi- cial figures released to Baldwin by the Office of the Registrar show that whereas 1,392 new foreign students enrolled at the University in 2002, 1,332 new students enrolled this fall. But Jain said most travel policies have not deterred many foreign stu- dents from attending the University. "Right now I don't see (most poli- cies) as a hindrance for international students to come into the country," Jain said. "The only way it makes a difference is when you're in line at the airport." Jain added that international stu- dents will be critical of broad-sweep- ing measures - such as US-VISIT - that place every traveler under scrutiny. "There are thousands of students coming here and if you start finger- printing everyone, time will go up and it will just become a hassle for stu- dents," Jain said, adding that the process "might be offensive" to some. While she said she could not tell whether US-VISIT will inconven- ience international students at the University, Baldwin said, "Anytime you make getting into the U.S. more difficult and you have to go through more procedures, it's certainly dis- couraging to people." Aside from international students flying in and out of Detroit Metropoli- tan Airport, US-VISIT may not impact many travelers in southeast Michigan - only 8.3 percent of pas- sengers at the airport travel interna- tionally, according to numbers provided by the Wayne County Air- port Authority. "In terms of creating an inconven- ience at the airport, I don't think (US- VISIT) will," airport authority spokesman Michael Conway said. "For the majority of our passengers, it will be invisible for them." Federal officials have already eval- uated Detroit Metro for US-VISIT systems, Conway said. c; ~t LARGE FURNISHED TWO bdrm. apts. loc. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?
