THIS DAY In Daily History City clerk warns of complicated local ballot November 1, 1994 - Ann Arbor City Clerk Winifred Northcross warned that the Ann Arbor ballot would be more complicated than most expected. The two-sided ballot included six proposals and 78 can- didates for governor, congressional, state and local offices. 147._ _ .1- 1.7 ..A - ~~7 +., Candidates' families stump on campus First daughters: Getting involved in politics can be fun Chris Heinz, stepson of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, spoke at a rally Friday in the Michigan Union. S ssf K By Donn M. Fresard and Aymar Jean Daily Staff Reporters With the presidential election only days away, even solidly Democratic Ann Arbor received attention from a wide array of famous Kerry supporters and family members at rallies over the weekend. Shortly before the football game Saturday afternoon, Gov. Jennifer Gra- nholm joined Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's brother Cam- eron and several Michigan Democratic politicians at an event on Elbel Field. Granholm cited Kerry's proposals for higher education - a $4,000 tax credit for college tuition and a national service program that would pay for four years of college in exchange for two years of service - as an important reason for students to vote for Kerry. She described Kerry's election as vital to Michigan's future. "There is nothing more important to me as governor of this state than hav- ing a partner in the White House," Gra- nholm said. Other Michigan Democrats at the rally spoke in harsh terms against Presi- dent Bush. Former U.S. Sen. Donald Riegle, recalling his positive impres- sions of Kerry from the years they spent working together in the Senate, drew a sharp contrast when he compared Kerry with Bush. "Number one. (Kerry) has a brain," Riegle said. "And number two, he has a heart." Riegle, who was born in Flint, was first elected to the U.S. House of Repre- sentatives in 1967 and retired from the Senate in 1995. At the event, he called Bush the worst president in the history of the United States. "He's careless, he's reckless and he needs to be removed next Tuesday," Riegle said. Rep. John Dingell (D-Dearborn) attacked Republicans for allowing jobs to be outsourced and accused them of spreading wrong information in order to disenfranchise Democratic voters. "Those miserable Republicans are saying, 'Let's vote for Kerry on Novem- ber the third'," said Dingell, who is up for re-election. "They'll do anything to win." Dingell was referring to messages chalked on University sidewalks telling Kerry supporters to vote on the wrong day; the correct election date is Nov. 2. At a rally Friday in the Michigan Union, Kerry's stepson Chris Heinz joined actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Alli- son Munn to stump for Kerry. While Heinz praised Kerry's character and higher education plans, Gyllenhaal and Munn emphasized the importance of the student vote in this election. Asked about the perception that Kerry is an elitist who does not under- stand average Americans, Heinz said his stepfather is dedicated to helping those who are in need. "John every day fights for people who have less than him," Heinz said. Despite repeated denials from Bush and his administration that a military draft is under consideration, speakers at both events raised the chance of a draft as a reason for college students to vote against Bush. "I don't care what George Bush is telling you," said Munn, an actress best known for her role in "That 70's Show." "With the way that he's running this country, the draft is a very, very real possibility." Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), in an interview after the Saturday rally, said tomorrow's election is especially important to college students because Bush has led the country into "a dan- gerous situation that could involve, at least potentially, a draft." By Carissa Miller Daily Staff Reporter First daughters Barbara and Jenna Bush campaigned for their father at a rally held Saturday in the Michi- gan Union ballroom, trying to height- en support and activity during the critical 72-hour period before the elec- tion tomorrow. The official campaign event, orga- nized by Students for Bush and run by the University's College Republi- cans, attracted students from both the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Awaiting the entrance of President Bush's daughters, attend- ees mingled and received free stickers, posters and T-shirts. After introductions by LSA senior Scott Foley and LSA sophomore Antho- ny Sandoval, co-chairs of the Universi- ty's chapter of Students for Bush, and Michael Plato, a state chair of Michigan Students for Bush, Barbara and Jenna took the podium and were met with cheering, clapping and flashing cameras. Jenna Bush spoke first, welcoming everyone to the event and offering appre- ciation for supporting her dad. Through- out their speeches, Jenna and Barbara emphasized the significance of political involvement by young Americans. "Young people do care," Barbara said. "We care about spreading freedom around the world, and we know that a world with more freedom is more peaceful. "Getting involved in a political cam- paign can actually be a lot of fun," she added, thanking all who volunteered during this election. Many who attended the event spoke of the importance of this election and the need to show their support for the president, such as LSA freshman Leslie Kehoe, a member of Students for Bush. "I want to get more involved and I haven't been to a rally like this before," Kehoe said. "It is good to get out and show that U of M isn't completely liberal." . In addition to promoting youth involvement, the sisters spoke of the qualities that make their father a go6d presidential candidate. "He will lead America with the same values that he brought to the family -strength, compassion and integrity," Barbara said. "He believes every person has worth and dignity." "My dad has many qualities impor- tant in a president and in a dad: H-e is open-minded, down to earth and extremely disciplined," Jenna echoed. "And he always supports his team until the very last pitch," she added, evoking images of her father's days as the owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team. At the conclusion of the rally, the sis- ters signed posters, shook hands with attendees and posed for photos before leaving the ballroom. The Bush daughters will continue campaigning around the country until election day. A rally was held at Michi- gan State University in mid-September. "It was great that they made the effort to get young people involved in the elec- tion," said LSA junior Megan Foley. Ricke Stauffer, a senior in the College of Engineering, agreed, saying, "It was pretty cool that they showed up to sup- port their dad. It was nice to meet some- one that close to the presidency and to see that one of the political parties act - ally cares about young people, because in the past we were pretty much ignored."
