NEWS The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 14, 2005 - 7A KISS-I N Continued from page 1A mission, the event was quite a success. He said that it felt good to see such a high turnout. Brittany Allen, Co-Chair of the LGBT commission said of the rally: "I am glad it pulled together well." For the past two months, she and others had been putting a lot of work into organiz- ing and publicizing the rally. She added, "I'm glad to see new faces ... it is very satisfying to me." Both she and Betka said they were pleasantly surprised at the turnout. The rally lasted almost two hours and shortly before 1 p.m., Allen stood at the podium and announced, "This is the time we've been waiting for!" The rally ended with good-natured kisses and hugs. ISRAEL Continued from page 1A Bush administration's determination to see a Palestinian state, and the Palestin- ians' desire to see one as well. "The Palestinian public is exhausted. They want a normal life," Ross said. As for the time frame, Ross insisted that jobs, freedom of movement and a political plan for Palestine needs to be achieved now, or any hope for peace in the Middle East would be gone. The theme of the conference at which Ross spoke was "Israel: A Diverse Per- spective." Speakers included Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Jacob Dallal, women's health specialist Wendy Keter and the most controversial of all speak- ers, Walid Shoebat, a self-proclaimed former Palestinian terrorist who said he once threw stones at Jews and laughed at the idea of the Holocaust being real. That changed in 1993 when Shoebat did a close study of the Tanach - the Jew- ish Bible - and in turn became a lead- ing advocate for the Jewish people and set out to educate the world on Israel. Shoebat's presence at the conference triggered the protest that took place out- side the League during the conference, said Tarek Dika, LSA senior and vice chair of Students Allied for Freedom and Equality. The demonstration was co-sponsored by SAFE and Jewish Wit- nesses for Peace and Friends. "He has no academic credentials," said Dika. "He has no place at an aca- demic conference." He added that Shoe- bat was openly racist. LSA senior and SAFE member Ted McTaggart said that Shoebat had "insane ideas" and inviting him was a shameless insult to the Palestinian people. SAFE members said another reason for the protest was the conference's fail- ure to address the Israeli occupation of Palestine. "It needs to be addressed some- where," McTaggart said about the occupation. He added that the goal of the protest was to create awareness. "They are completely ignoring the realities of the occupation," McTag- gart said. Jewish Witnesses for Peace and Friends said it had sent a letter two weeks prior to the conference to the co-chairs of the conference, Megan Martin and Naama Yaron and Hil- lel Staff Advisor Samara Kaplan. The letter was an invitation for a debate on the present state of rela- tions between Israel and Palestine and what was required of America in the situation. Protestors claimed that Martin, Yaron and Kaplan did not reply to the letter, and an open seat sat outside the League with a sign reading "Chair reserved for Pro-Israel debater." Yaron, an Education senior, said the demonstrators were free to come in the conference and discuss their viewpoints there. Even though Yaron said the letter had indeed been sent, she added that it had not been received until after the protest had been decided upon and therefore she, along with others organizing the conference were not interested in reply- ing at that point. While introducing Shoebat, Yaron said that he was brought to the confer- ence because of his unique experience, adding that a chance to learn from him was "priceless." Shoebat's speech was centered on his experiences growing up in Bethlehem, from the ideas his family and com- munity taught him about Jews to way he viewed the Bible. He said he did not interact with Jews often, but when he did, it was not in a friendly way. Shoebat quoted the Bible numerous times in his speech, saying that doing so was commonly frowned upon, but that to him it was not an issue. Dallal spoke on the relationship between what actually happens on the field in a war and what comes out through the media. "It's important to try to get the ini- tial version of the story out there," Dallal said. He added that working actively with the press was essential and that it was important not to think of the press as an afterthought of the events, but as an integral part of what occurs in the war. WRJTE' FOR THE MicmGAN DAILY STPBY 420 MAYNARD ST., OR CALL 7634459. WOMEN Continued from page 1A recover to the point they were," Kaufman said in an earlier interview. She added that women's health programs would be hurt if MCRI passed because they're gender-specific. Coleman also argued that gender-specific poli- cies in academia are necessary for the health of the American public. She noted that medical research conducted at the University must address the health concerns of ,both men and women. She held that women's health issues could only be adequately addressed if women were actually conducting the research. She went on to say that research is funded by the federal government and taxpayers' dollars should not support a system that does not serve the entire population. Judy Karandjeff, executive director of the Mich- igan Women's Commission, presented statistics from a 2004 study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research that revealed women in the state still lag far behind men in earnings and the holding of managerial positions. Michigan ranks the sec- ond worst in the nation in wage equity. But the study also shows some positive trends, including relatively high rates of political partici- pation by Michigan women. "If we abandon affirmative action programs in Michigan ... it will reduce the gains we have," Karandjeff said, visibly moved. "I don't want this kind of report card again," she added. "It's pitiful." But Zarko said Coleman and the other panelists were confusing outcomes with process and argued a fair process can lead to unequal outcomes. "Attempting to correct societal discrimination with preferences is inappropriate. You end up increasing ... the resentment," he said. "To end societal discrimination, you have to end govern- ment preferences," he added. Using the same distinction between outcomes and process, Zarko said MCRI allows programs that do not formally exclude men but attract women almost exclusively. He also said MCRI does not seek to eliminate outreach programs that recruit women for male- dominated, higher-paying fields - as long as those programs are available to everyone. Pro- grams such as these that exist at the University are Women in Science and Engineering. Elizabeth Bunn, secretary-treasurer of the United Auto Workers, attributed the wage ineq- uity revealed in the study in part to occupational segregation - when men dominate higher-paying fields. The study also showed a low percentage of women professionals in the Michigan. While Bunn supported the use of gender-spe- cific programs to boost women's salaries, she also suggested that the wages be- raised in female- dominated professions, though she did not speci- fy how this could be accomplished. Another solution she proposed was the forma- tion of unions. "Those (wage) differences in unionized work- places don't exist," she said. Lansing Community College President Paula Cunningham said the scarcity of women in cor- porate boardrooms may be partly the fault of women themselves. "We don't know the art of negotiation," she said, referring to the reluctance of some women to seek promotions and raises. "We don't ask." Gender-specific programs are necessary, pan- elists argued, to teach women the skills they need to advance their careers. "If you're not smart about the system, oppor- tunities and choices you might have aren't available to you," Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon said. the michigan daily GREAT HOUSES, GREAT APART- NOW SHOWING MENTS!
