i NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 7A 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 "Iraqi American ideas are taken with a grain of salt and their vote would not be representative." - Areej El-Jawahri University Alum ST Howe' TSUNAMI have acc Continued from page IA tion and ly as larger waves because of the debris and after they collect ...

Some United Asian American Organization, a group made of University students, has set up a tsunami committee. The com- mittee will focus on educating other students on the tsunami, as a way of contributing to the relief effort. "We wanted to do more to educate people and raise awareness to help peo- ple realize this is going to be going on for 10 to 20 more years," Yang said. LSA junior J.J. Andrick said he enjoyed the symposium because of the many angles and perspectives it offered on the tragedy. "It showed the causes and effects an earthquake has. It's not just the science, it's not just the people, it's also the over- lap," he said. of us stayed behind, because we want- ed to hear everyone's voice on cam- pus, " he said. 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 INTERNSHIP Continued from page 1A in 2000. 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 JOBS Continued from page 1A side the box. A lot of LSA students feel restricted from going to presenta- tions," she said, "For the positions I was offered. I was competing with kids in 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 documentation are available at www. iraqocv.org. 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.
