ELECTION
Continued from page 1A
discontent with Iraq's Independent
Electoral Commission's decision to
allow for out-of-country Iraqis to par-
ticipate in the formation of the transi-
tional assembly.
"I feel that a lot of people left Iraq a
while back and did not go through the
suffering," she said. She added that
Iraqis in Iraq should have a democratic
process so that their suffering voices
will finally be heard.
El-Jawahri said that she feels that
there would be a problem of perception
concerning the out-of-country votes due
to the influence of Western ideas.
"We (out-of-country Iraqis) are
isolated from the process, and I
feel that the Iraqis should be given
a chance to establish a fair govern-
ment," El-Jawahri said. "Iraqi-
American ideas are taken with a
grain of salt, and their vote would
not be representative."
Within the United States, 5,246
individuals have registered to vote
within the first two days of registra-
tion, which began on Monday.
June Chua, an external relations
officer for Iraq Out of Country Vot-
ing USA, based in Washington, said
that the registration deadline was
extended in part due to the extreme
cold weather that some of the select-
ed cities have been experiencing,
making it difficult for potential vot-
ers to come register at the polling
sites.
The Independent Electoral Com-
mission of Iraq, located in the coun-
try, had requested the help of the
International Organization of Migra-
tion, a Geneva-based organization

of salt and their vote would not be

"We wanted to do more to educate

ed to hear everyone's voice on cam-

Following this, four professors
will be participating in a teach-in
that will be held in the second floor
ballroom in Haven Hall. The profes-
sors and students will try to engage
in a dialogue about political issues
such as the war in Iraq and Bush's
performance as president.
One of the speakers, RC Lecturer
Helen Fox described the teach-in as
"an-out-of-class, progressive take on an
event that students (can come) to in the
spur of the moment where people speak
to counter what's going on in the coun-
try," Fox said.
"People express their views, usually
against the status quo and against poli-
tics in Washington." She said that she
herself will speak about what she thinks
will happen in Iraq from her position as
a pacifist.
- Daily Staff Reporter Adhiraj Dutt
contributed to this report
that has helped organize other out-of-
country elections. The IOM worked
with governments in 14 countries to
survey and select cities across the
world that would cater to the maxi-
mum number of Iraqi expatriates for
that country.
Lou Fintor, a spokesman for the
U.S. State Department, said the Unit-
ed States "welcome(s) the effort of
the IOM and IECI to provide people
with an opportunity to vote. We are
cooperating with the IOM to facili-
tate registration."
Fintor also said that the IOM esti-
mates that there are 100,000 individ-
uals in the U.S. who are eligible to
participate in the election process.
Chua said that the polling site
and registration has been running
smoothly and that the mood has been
jubilant. But those who have regis-
tered to vote have mentioned minor
complications that have occurred
due to the language differences and
lack of appropriate documentation to
prove citizenship.
Martin Manna, Executive Director
of the Chaldean American Chamber
of Commerce, based in Farmington
Hills, registered to vote on Monday.
He said that security at the polling
site has been very tight, and security
guards have been escorting cars for
parking as well as individuals to the

Both Goldenberg and Kivisto trav-
eled to Washington to observe other
universities' internship programs in the
nation's capital. Stanford University's
internship program was the inspiration
for the MIW program's curriculum and
living arrangements, Kivisto said.
Housing for the program has been
arranged by the University and provided
by Boston University. The Boston Uni-
versity Washington Center will accom-
modate the students, visiting faculty and
a resident director. Classes will also be
held at the center.
The new program will be a great
asset to the University, said Laura

entrance.
He added that the polling site is
proving to be an inconvenience to
his community because many peo-
ple live in Macomb and Oakland
counties.
"We are assisting our community
members by providing bus services
from the Chaldean Catholic Church-
es to the polling place in Southgate,"
Manna said.
His group has been insisting that
his community members look at the
bigger picture and take part in his-
tory, as well as help protect minority
rights in Iraq.
Even with the potential contro-
versies and complications that sur-
round the process of out-of-country
voting, Al-Bassam summed up the
hopes that are riding on this election
process.
"I hope that Iraq will move on from
the war scene and progress succe s-
fully and become a more stable and
prosperous country," she said. t
Two forms of documentation are
required to provide proof of Irqqi
descent, and registration must occur
in person. The local polling center is
located in Southgate, Detroit at 15600
Northline. Further information abd
other details regarding eligibility apd

Potter, a graduate student instructor of
political science.
"I think it is really exciting, because
you can now integrate course work and
field work. Now, in the classroom, stu-
dents can understand the relevance of
what they are learning," Potter said.
The program has been awarded- a
three-year grant from the University;
after it expires, the program will be
assessed and reconsidered for pernia-
nent implementation by the Universitj.
