NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 9, 2005 - 7 * CEASE FI RE Continued from page 1 actions against Palestinians and Israelis wherever they are," Abbas declared in a statement made after the meetings, as he, Sharon, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah II sat around a round table. Sharon made a similar pledge. "Today, in my meeting with chairman Abbas, we agreed that all Palestinians will stop all acts of violence against all Israelis everywhere, and, at the same time, Israel will cease all its military activity against all Palestinians everywhere," he said. Abbas said he expected the cease-fire pledges to pave the way for resumption of talks on so-called "final status" issues such as borders, refugees and Jerusalem's status, all within the context of the Mideast "road map" to peace. Sharon said he also expected the deal yesterday to set the stage for the implementation of the "road map." Sharon also invited Abbas to visit him at his ranch in southern Israel and Abbas accepted, Meir said. Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said the meeting would take place soon. Sharon said he would like the next meeting between the two leaders to be in the West Bank town of Ramallah, accord- ing to an adviser, Raanan Gissin. The White House commended the leaders on their commitment. "The cessation of violence and terrorism are important steps on the path to ending terrorism in the region and dis- mantling the terrorists' infrastructure," spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters on Air Force One as Bush flew to a speech in Detroit. "The United States will continue doing its part to help the parties move forward." As part of the handover of five West Bank towns, Israeli and Palestinian security commanders are to meet tomor- row to prepare the handover of Jericho, the first West GRANHOLM Continued from page 1 standardized tests. The new $4,000 award would be avail- able to college and technical school students in 2009, after they have finished two years of post-secondary education. By giving money to students after they have completed some amount of higher education, Granholm said she hopes to extend education for more students beyond their high school graduation. The new award would replace the current award that was Bank town in the list of five, said Palestinian negotiator Hassan Abu Libdeh. After the immediate release of 500 Palestinian prisoners, another 400 will be released at a later stage, he said. Asked whether Hamas would continue its attacks against Israel after the summit, the group's representative in Leba- non, Osama Hamdan, replied: "Our decision depends on the achievement of a substantial change (in Israel's position) to meet Palestinian demands and conditions." Hamdan said for a truce to be successful, Israel must release Palestinian prisoners and make a clear commitment to "halt all kinds of aggression against the Palestinian people." He contended those conditions were not met at the summit. In Jerusalem, a key parliamentary committee narrowly approved a bill that would allow Sharon to carry out his planned pullout from the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank in the summer. The vote passed 10-9 on a subject that has split Sharon's party and angered his main constituency. Abbas said it was time for the Palestinian people to regain their freedom. "A new opportunity for peace is born today in the city of peace. Let's pledge to protect it," Abbas said, referring to the nickname of Sharm el-Sheik earned through past peace summits. And Sharon, in what he said was a direct address to the Palestinian people, said: "I assure you that we have a genuine intention to respect your rights to live independently and in dignity. I have already said that Israel has no desire to con- tinue to govern over you and control your fate." Mubarak, who summoned the two leaders and has been a key mediator, said there also was fresh hope for Syrian-Israeli peace negotiations, which have been frozen since 2000. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Egypt and Jordan will return their ambassadors to Israel after a four- year absence, possibly within days. Egypt and Jordan lowered their diplomatic representation in Israel in late 2000 to protest what they saw as Israel's excessive use of force against Pales- tinians in the fighting that began in September that year. first administered under the Michigan Educational Assess- ment Program but has continued after Granholm and the state legislature eliminated the MEAP last month. Sikkema said he believed the new award would encourage fewer high school graduates to enroll in college because the old award was a "deciding factor" in whether some graduates would enroll and be able to pay for college out of high school. Michigan is ranked 44th in states whose 25- to 34-year- old populations have a bachelor's degree or higher - the age group that will shoulder the ongoing transition of the state economy from manufacturing to high-tech and service jobs. SLS Continued from page 1 of folks who need to make sure they (maintain their residence status), Lewis said. SLS also wants to bring back a lawyer, as part of the Housing Legal Reform Project, who would concen- trate specifically on student hous- ing issues. The position was vacated years ago due to lack of funding and if filled again, would hold the lawyer responsible for litigating on behalf of student tenants on a group and individual basis. "Although Student Legal Services already provides great services to students, the launching of the HLRP will provide greater assistance to students by offering additional coun- seling for landlord-tenant disputes and will help implement new city ordinances that will save tenants money in the future," said MSA Stu- dent General Counsel Jesse Levine, an LSA junior and member of MSA's SLS advisory board. Lewis said one of the main prob- lems SLS has is keeping track of long-term issues. A large part of the HLRP's position would be to organize group-specific complaints about housing issues and landlords into categories. HLRP would monitor the com- plaints to search for general trends in order to approach these issues more efficiently. For example, Lewis said that if 10 landlords are in violation of the same breach of contract, SLS could file a class-action lawsuit. "We do tons of landlord-tenant issues. We want to try and group similar issues together," he said. One issue of concern to students is landlords' use of joint-responsibility clauses in their leases. Students who have this type of clause in their leas- es may be subject to many different types of financial burdens. Some landlords will hold an entire house responsible for a fire, even if only one or none of the housemates was responsible. Some landlords will also hold one tenant responsible for paying another housemate's overdue rent. Another issue Lewis would like the HLRP to tackle concerns secu- rity deposits. Currently, some land- lords force students to pay a security deposit to renew their leases months before the leases expire and then keep those security deposits without paying interest to the students. "I'd really love to see us get an ordinance passed that says land- lords have to pay interest on secu- rity deposits. Maybe that would slow down some of this (early re-signing) frenzy," Lewis said. SLS is awaiting a decision regard- ing funding for its proposed expan- sion from the regents. ACTIVISM Continued from page 1 University alum Avani Bhatt said. Bhatt also said she enjoyed the way Walker incorporated spiritual ideas into politics. RC junior Carla Thomas said the part of the speech that she found most compelling was when Walker stated that it is not enough to focus on the problems imposed by other people, such as being denied civil rights. "We can no longer exclusively look outward," Thomas said. Others, however, wished Walker would have gone into detail on how exactly to act on the ideas presented. "She provided a wonderful plan on how to change the world, but no real way to implement it," LSA sophomore Nick Israel said. Robbie Townsel-Dye, coordinator for the Minority Peer Advisor Program and also a member of the Black History Month planning committee, said the committee chose Walker to speak because of her feminist and activist viewpoints. "How she looked at activism from a different perspective kind of makes you think," Townsel-Dye said. "She was very intellectual, very thoughtful, one of the best speak- ers that I've heard on campus," said Frederic MacDonald-Dennis, plan- ning committee member and direc- tor of the Office of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Affairs. Walker was named one of the 50 future leaders of America by Time magazine, and also co-founded the Third Wave Foundation, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to developing young female activists and leaders. - Amit Weitzer contributed to this report.
