The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - 7 KKK Continued from Page 1 The group's website contains a picture of King overlaid by a red line. The pic- ture links to a website urging members to protest King's birthday, claiming that the civil rights leader was a "womaniz- ing promoter of race-mixing and 100 percent communist." It is ironic, then, that this organization would support MCRI, O'Brien said. Though he is unsure of their intentions, he said he respects their right to civic participation. For BAMN members, however, the rea- son is not so elusive. "It's not surprising at all," LSA senior and BAMN organizer Kate Stenvig said. "We know that they're lying when they call it a civil rights ini- tiative." MCRI's commitment to these principles of civil rights has been continually disputed. Two weeks ago while petitioning in the Michigan Union, the Young Americans for Freedom, a nationwide conservative group, faced opposition by BAMN. Part of the YAF's display included an image of King along with a quote. MCRI supporters said these images coincide well with both groups' intentions. "We believe that racial preferences are wrong and are inherently racist. So we're supporting Mr. (Ward) Connerly's initiative to end all racial preferences in public edu- cation, hiring and contracts," YAF co-chair Laura Davis. Although YAF's display was not an official MCRI poster, opponents say the campaign has co-opted the civil rights leader's message, reducing its meaning to demagoguery. Opposition groups like BAMN say affirmative action provides access for minorities and women who have experienced societal inequalities for decades. "It makes all the more duplicitous their hiding behind the picture of Martin Luther King," BAMN co-chair and national organ- izer Shanta Driver said. But in some ways, O'Brien claimed, the KKK and BAMN are similar. They both believe that "people should be treat- ed differently based on what color they are," he said. Portraying both BAMN and the KKK as extremist organizations, MCRI co-chair and state Rep. Leon Drolet (R-Clinton Twp.) said he doubts that this endorsement will affect their campaign. "Any reasonable person would repudiate the Klan, as we would repudiate anyone who advocates against human equality," he said. MCRI's campaign, which began in January, has persisted despite opposition in the courts and on the streets. The group has sent out about 20,000 petitions, O'Brien estimates, though it has received few signatures. He said that since it is only February, people do not feel a "sense of urgency" in returning the forms. The group is 38 days into its 180-day- petition drive. O'Brien would not comment on the group's financial position. He approximated that 500 to 1,000 people - mostly young people - have volunteered to collect signatures. MCRI has yet to hire petitioners. Groups like BAMN and state leaders like U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich) have opposed the group since the start of the campaign. BAMN has launched a "Decline to Sign" campaign and promis- es to protest anywhere petitioners are collecting signatures. MCRI is also facing two lawsuits. One suit was filed by BAMN, represented by the law firm Scheff and Washington and joined by Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharp- ton and the Michigan Legislative Black Cau- cus. The lawsuit questions the legality of MCRI's petition form. The other lawsuit, initiated by two lawyers who represented the University in the Supreme Court, questions the legal premise of the proposed constitu- tional amendment. SURVEY Continued from Page 1 LSA senior Jackie Bray, chair of the Peace and Justice Commission of the Michigan Student Assembly said she noticed a significant increase in the number of freshmen politically involved on campus. "I think (an increase occurred) this year in particular because young people realize that the politics of this country are moving in the wrong direction," she said. Bray also said that she was excited that young people were actively taking stands, as opposed to just discussing problems. But Frohlich said he thought the University's percentage is low. "I'm surprised that student apathy is so high,"he said. Other students also thought that political interest among freshmen would be higher. LSA freshman, Katie Feary said she often notices political interest on campus. "I am surprised because wherever you go, there are always prevalent issues being discussed and it's hard to get away from them;" Feary said. The study was conducted in conjunction with a national survey done by the Cooperative Institutional Research Pro- gram at the Higher Education Research Institute at the Uni- versity of California in Los Angeles. . . - the michigan daily IV.,,a ---I DELUXE STUDIO.
