NEWS The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 9, 2004 - 7 HAZING Continued from page 1 of questioning with new members, Banschick said. While OSCR investigated the valid- ity of the allegations, the national chapter temporarily suspended ZBT, Banschick said. Two other organizations were sus- pended by their national chapters, and there are no reports as to whether their suspensions have been lifted. However, these fraternities may not necessarily undergo the same conse- quences as ZBT because each national chapter sets its own parameters of sus- pension, Interfraternity Council spokes- man Alan Lovi said. As soon as ZBT officials received the initial e-mail from OSCR, OSCR did a round of questioning with new mem- bers, Banschick said. Eklund described the process, which also proceeded for all the other houses under investigation, as "asking new members in for an interview, as well as officers (of the fraternity or sorority) and witnesses, which often lead to other people being called in for interviews." After meeting with OSCR, Ban- MAHER Continued from page 1 Maher clearly subscribes to the idea that religion was the real story in this election. When asked about his stance that the dominating influence of the Christian Right, Maher responded, "I believe that. I got a lot of shit about that on the show. But this election in my view was lost in the spring when gay marriage went on the ballot." "When Karl Rove saw gay people getting married in February, March and schick said he met with Lt. Chris Heatley from AAPD. Banschick described the atmo- sphere of his meeting with the AAPD as good, but emphasized the difficulty of the circumstances. "It's a weird situation we are put in because we find we have to defend our- selves for something we never did." Banschick said the fraternity is dealing with the situation as best as possible. The allegations and investigative process have set the fraternity back, but has not stopped it from doing what they want to do, he said. "Three new members are running for IFC board positions, which is something that hasn't happened in over a decade." Banschick said that he and his frater- nity have learned a lesson and hope that they have strengthened their ties with University administration. The University has not suspended any fraternities or sororities, but its inves- tigation has not yet been completed, Eklund said. "We are hopeful that around Thanks- giving, whether before or after, we will be able to offer resolutions through the Office of Student Conflict Resolution," Eklund said. April, I think he probably said, 'There is my Willie Horton. There is my election."' His criticism, however, is hardly confined to just Republicans. "We hit all sides," he said, "but let's be honest, they (the Republicans) are the ones in power. And the people in power are always going to get it a little harder." How does Maher expect his audi- ence in Ypsilanti to react? "It's, I think, something of a cathar- tic experience for a lot of people, because there is a lot of things that make people mad." IMPLANTS Continued from page 1 1000th cochlear device into a patient. But in the past, many in the deaf community rejected the implant out of the concern that the device would threaten the existence of the deaf culture, said Teresa Zwolan, director of the Univer- sity's Cochlear Implant Program and professor in otolaryngology. Many believed the implant would transform a deaf person into a hearing person - which goes against the deaf culture, Zwolan added. Where the device once faced public outcry from the deaf community though, the cochlear implant draws less ire with each year as the number of sur- geries for the implant grows. Moreover, many hard- of-hearing people have accepted the need for the device. When choosing whether to undergo surgery for the device, deaf people weigh the benefits and draw- backs of the implant like any other surgery The costs, the patient's degree of deafness and the inability of doctors to know how much hear- ing wil be restored were all factored in Tawakkul's decision to choose the implant. Backed by his family and teachers, Tawakkul underwent the surgery, knowing it was one of his best chances to hear again. But, underlining the decision for others is the worry of losing their deaf identity after regaining their hearing. "Traditionally, the deaf community has been opposed to it since their deafness is a part of the definition of who they are, and if we try to fix their deafness, it will change who they are," Zwolan said. During the advent of the cochlear implant, Zwolan said the device implied that deafness was a disability rather than another perfectly valid way of living life, she added. This opposition climaxed when the devices were implanted on deaf children during the early 1990s, causing many in the deaf community to protest against the cochlear implant. Deaf people argued hard-of-hearing children could live their lives per- fectly, despite their deafness, so they rejected the surgery, she added. Since then, much of the division engendered by the device has eroded, Zwolan said. Citing that close to 100 members of Ann Arbor's deaf commu- nity have undergone the surgery, Zwolan said the implant has become a personal decision for indi- viduals and for parents of deaf children. "It's a personal choice that depends on what they want the deaf implant for, and some people just want to hear. It's not a tool to change who they are or where they belong. It's just a tool to help them hear," she said. Rackham student Richard Eckert, who is deaf, respects that personal decision, but like some in the deaf community, he remains unconvinced about the implants effectiveness. With his hearing aid and his lip-reading skills, Eckert said there is no need for the device since he can understand speech most of the time. At the same time, the current cochlear implant would destroy his ability to use a hearing aid since it would also require surgeons to eliminate his residual hearing in order for the device to function. "So, it is a gamble. For some people it works and if that is what they want - great. I see no reason to take such a gamble, especially with the improve- ments to digital hearing aids and with future possi- bilities of cochlea hair regeneration," he said. Highlighting that risk is Eckert's wife who once wore a cochlear implant but later developed a con- stant pain in her head. While the concern that deaf culture was threat- ened by the implant has dissolved over the years, the device has nonetheless affected the makeup of the deaf community. As the number of individuals with the cochlear implants grows, Zwolan said the device has resulted in fewer individuals to in the deaf community. Because the deaf community is primarily made up of people who know sign language, children who receive the cochlear implant generally do not need to rely on signing as a way to communicate, Zwoland added. "If you don't use sign language, you are not really accepted by the deaf community," she said. But deaf students at the University's Hearing Impaired Student Organization have broken those barriers, creating a unique community of their own on campus. Not only have many in the deaf community at the University come to terms with the device, but many also see that the surgery does little to a person's identity. Even with the surgery, Tawakkul is still seen as a deaf person among his peers in the student orga- nization. "I explained to them with what my situation is with the cochlear implant and they found it accept- ing so it was not a problem at all after educating them," he said. Yet Tawakkul added in order to strike a balance and deepen his relationship with the deaf commu- nity, he says that he needs to learn sign language - a trait which unites them into a culture. FALLUJAH Continued from page 1 God is great." Just outside the Jolan and Askari neighborhoods, Iraqi troops deployed with U.S. forces took over a train station after the Americans fired on it to drive off fighters. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, predicted a "major confrontation" in the opera- tion he said was called "al-Fajr," Arabic for "dawn." He told reporters in Washington that 10,000 to 15,000 U.S. troops along with a smaller number of Iraqi forc- es were encircling the city. Overall, the main force did not appear to have moved deeply into Fallujah yesterday, the first full day of the operation. Most U.S. units appeared to be lined up at the edge of their neighborhoods with some scouts and perhaps special operators ventur- ing inside. The offensive is considered the most important military effort to re-establish government control over Sunni strongholds west of Baghdad before elections in January. the michigan daily FALL 05 - 4 bdrm. and 2 bath. home, en- closed garage.
