Norman said computer courses are especially valuable to custodians as they can now access payroll and banking services by computer. Phillips said he is most upset by most custodians' loss of a shift premium of fifty cents for working the night shift, which earns staff overtime pay. Shift premiums rose by 20 cents the last time a contract was renegotiated with the custodians, in 2001. But Phillips said he is suspicious that Building Services was expecting to face more budget cuts, and that they raised the premium knowing that night shifts would soon be cut. The anonymous source said she also expected the night shifts to be cut. Budget cuts "saved them shift premium," she said. Norman said that this assessment was untrue. "At the time of the contract we had no idea what was going to be cut," he added. ELECTIONS Continued from page 1 among the first generation to take the gift of voting," Soni said. LSA sophomore Gopal Pai said he attended the event because he feels that South Asian students need to increase their political involvement. "The South Asian students make up a significant percentage of the student body, yet are not adequately represented in student government organizations," Pai said. But South Asians for Kerry member Devesh Tiwari said the challenges fac- ing South Asians are no different than the challenges facing other American voters. Tiwari said Americans in general per- ceive the political system to be too cor- rupt to warrant their participation, or they feel their vote will not make a difference. "I want to get the message out that they can make a difference and through the political process get a man in office who exemplifies South Asian values." Janu Lakshmanan, co-chair of the mixer, emphasized that IASA went out of its way to provide a comfortable and informal setting for South Asian students to talk about politics with politically active students on campus. "(We were going for) a standing reception where people were free to mingle, discuss and not feel pres- sured to vote for a certain candidate. They were free to talk about issues that they wanted to address," Lak- shmanan said. "And even though IASA is a nonpartisan organization, we have representatives from differ- ent parties in order to provide infor- mation." The Michigan Student Assembly's Voice Your Vote Commission and Students for Nader also participated in the event.

He noted that the Wash- n residences of senior administra- officials are disproportionately d in areas with cleaner air and . He pointed to the state-of-the- ater purification that the president led on his ranch in Crawford, S. Vhen you visit Crawford, drink d water - except when you're a guest of the Bushes." Turning to the Vice President, he said "most of Dick Cheney's undisclosed hours at undis- closed locations are spent at his Wyo- ming ranch." Pope said the administration does not view clean air and water as the common rights of all citizens, but as commodities to be competed for in the marketplace. He said maintenance of clean air and water requires a "strong and robust central government" that conflicts with right-wing laissez-faire ideology. He said it was the position of the administration that if clean air and water were made universal rights to all citizens, "people will be entitled to clean air and water that they haven't earned. And then what's the point of being successful? What's the point of being Dick Cheney?" he said. T SHOPPERS NEEDED for evalua- flocal stores, restaurants and theaters. exible hours, email required.
