10 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 NEWS Qieney on natio DES MOINES, Iowa - Vice Presi- dent Dick Cheney said yesterday that he nation faces the threat of another terrorist attack if voters make the "wrong choice" on Election Day, sug- esting that Sen. John Kerry would follow a pre-Sept. 11 policy of reacting defensively. The Kerry-Edwards campaign immediately rejected those comments as "scare tactics" that crossed the line. "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make he right choice, because if we make he wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from he standpoint of the United States," Cheney told about 350 supporters at a own-hall meeting in this Iowa city. If Kerry were elected, Cheney said he nation risks falling back into a "pre-9/l1 mind-set" that terrorist attacks are criminal acts that require reactive approach. Instead, he said Bush's offensive approach works to oot out terrorists where they plan and rain, and pressure countries that har- blasts opponents nal secunty bor terrorists. Cheney pointed to Afghanistan as a success story in pursuing terrorists although the Sept. 11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden, remains at large. In Iraq, the vice president said, the United States has taken out a leader who used weapons of mass destruction against his own people and harbored other ter- rorists. "Saddam Hussein today is in jail, which is exactly where he belongs," Cheney said. Democratic vice presidential candi- date John Edwards issued a statement saying: "Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs. Protecting America from vicious terrorists is not a Democratic or Republican issue and Dick Cheney and George Bush should know that." "John Kerry and I will keep America safe, and we will not divide the Ameri- can people to do it," Edwards added. Bush yesterday accused Kerry of changing positions on the Iraq war by adopting the language of one-time pres- idential candidate Howard Dean when Kerry called the conflict "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." Kerry "woke up yesterday morning with yet another new position, and this one's not even his own; it is that of his one-time rival, Howard Dean," Bush told thousands of supporters yesterday at a rally in Lee's Summit, Mo., a sub- urb of Kansas City. Bush said Kerry "even used the same words Howard Dean did back when he supposedly disagreed with him. ... Sen- ator Kerry flip-flops. We were right to make America safer by removing Sad- dam Hussein from power." "George Bush definitely wants to avoid having the discussion focus on how he has handled the war in Iraq," said Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer. "This is an example of a presi- dent who has led the country down the wrong road in Iraq and has pur- sued a policy that has landed us in a quagmire, costing us $200 billion and counting." BUSING Continued from page 1. right around all these sororities and fraternities. People will probably hop on this to go out and party," Arnold said. While riding on the bus, LSA senior Stephen Abebreseh said that he also believes the route will gain popularity as more people learn about it. He sees the Oxford Shuttle as a boon for students living in the Oxford Residence Hall. "Returning residents are very grateful, and this should make new residents feel less alienated," Abebreseh said, "Peo- ple don't enjoy being put at Oxford ... because it's so secluded." However, not all changes have expanded bus service. To accommo- date extra routes and buses, the last bus to North Campus on weekends is now earlier. On Friday, the last bus leaves at 2 a.m. and on Saturday at 2:30 a.m. Last year, the final bus was 3 a.m. both nights. These changes are not every-year occurrences, said Parking and Trans- portation Director Dave Miller. "Past year changes have been minor tweaking. This is a huge impact as we are adding 9000 additional service hours per year," Miller said. The nearly 10-percent increase in service hours will cost the University an additional $350,000 in this fiscal year, Miller said. HOUSING Continued from page 1 dents led by Heather Albee- Scott. Citing the lapse of Family Hous- ing as the major problem, Albee- Scott and others have made a case against the relocation of undergradu- ates based on rent disparities as well as the destruction of an international and family-oriented community. Much of the anger of Northwood IV and V residents stems from the fact that those families which moved from Northwood I, II, and III to make room for undergraduates will con- tinue to pay the rent they did in their previous apartment while living in a larger one. Protesters also argued that Fam- ily Housing is a support system for students with families and breaking apart this close-knit community cre- ates hardships for single mothers and particularly international students, who also live in the housing units. Although the relocation has already taken place, Albee-Scott said residents of Family Housing hope to focus their energy on another goal: encouraging the University to consider building another residence hall. Albee-Scott said she hopes to enlist the help of parents of undergraduates students who were unhappy with the move to Family Housing. The University has frequently tossed around the idea of building a new hall on north campus, but no plans have been finalized. Susana Adame, an LSA fifth year senior, who has been living in North- wood V with her children, said it is too early to tell. Adame added that the relocation continues to cause concerns about a slow elimination of Family Housing, which protesters have been pointing out since the relocation was first announced. Similarly, Falana English, a Nurs- ing senior who lives with her three children in Northwood V, said that she has heard of no problems thus far but still feels that University Hous- ing has overstepped its boundaries through this move. "If they've taken away (Northwood I, II, and III), who's to say they won't do something else? They've stepped into our safe haven," English said.

Ann Arbor, like the rest of Washt- enaw County and nearly all of Michigan, uses optical-scan voting machines in its polling stations. Washtenaw County Director of Elections Melanie Weidmayer said the county has no plans to use touch-screen electronic voting machines, which have raised con- cerns in other states. Opponents of touch-screen machines say they are easily tam- pered with and prone to losing data. 0 U El 1 Student Value M Pick any number Only $8.99! 1. One medium Cheesep a 20 oz. Soda. 2nd Pie o 2.
