"Speakers on all sides of the issue had a fair opportunity to express their opinions," Levine said. Al-Dabagh added that the success of the Flint resolution could be attributed to the fact that it asks the University to look at a set of five or six ethical questions pertaining to arms and human rights violations. Unlike the resolution that was voted down in Ann Arbor, the Flint resolution did not propose that the University create a committee to look at investments - another factor that AI-Dabagh said contributed to the resolution's success. "All it does is ask the Board of Regents to look at their investments," he said. Al-Dabagh said he will send a copy of the resolution that passed in the Flint Student Government to the University's Dearborn and Ann Arbor campuses in order to rally support from students and student governments. "I hope that this will be successful," A1-Dabagh said, add- ing that "you shouldn't expect change overnight." Despite the failed efforts to pass a divestment resolution in Ann Arbor, Salhi said he has not given up. "I'm not discouraged - when you consider the fact that MSA was just one of the options to go through," Salhi said. Salhi said that according to the official University purchasing policy, a significant portion of the student body must find the investments morally or ethically questionable. "We have that ... Now it is up to the regents" Salhi said. MICHIGAMUA Continued from page 1A group whose name in itself is a play on a Native American name - dressed up as Native Amer- icans in red brick paint. The movies were taken presumably from the 1950s and showed, among other things, members of Michigamua tearing each other's clothes off and covering each other in red paint. Three speakers, Mellissa Pope, Jujan Buford and Stehney, talked after the movie screen- ing. Pope and Buford were both involved in the 2000 Tower takeover, when members of the Student of Color Coalition - an organiza- tion that aimed to remedy problems facing the minority community - occupied the tower in the Michigan Union where Michigamua had its headquarters. In the process, they claimed they found Native American artifacts that they said Mich- igamua used in mock ritual practices. The consensus among the speakers was that they had already tried to deal unsuccessfully with Michigamua through dialogue starting in 1972, and they were now pursuing means of open confrontation. "(Dialogue) only benefits them.... We heard about Vicky Barner (the first person to file a lawsuit against Michigamua) who tried to change them and it didn't work. At this point we're not trying to change them - we're trying to crush them," Stehney said. A spokesman for the secret society who goes by the name Nick said that Michigamua would be willing to pursue an open dialogue with the Native American Student Association. "Michigamua is open to dialogue. There are misconceptions about the group and we'd be open to neutral representation so folks from both sides (can) discuss the issue," Nick said. He added that the group does not want to perpetuate pain in any community. Nick said that the name issue is something that they are willing to discuss through dialogue. Historically, Michigamua has tried to pursue dialogue with the Students of Color Coalition, dating back to the publicized tower occupation in 2000, Nick said. "Prior to the occupation, Michigamua attempted to dialogue with the leader of the SCC, but he or she refused," he said. Nick added that both sides were at the table when they were in negotiations after the Tower occupation, but the isolated event was all that was discussed, and the greater issues were not touched on. Michigamua also claimed to know nothing about the posters that were hung outside of the chemistry building attacking Lambda Theta Phi, an adamant supporter of NASA and co- sponsor of the "Expose Michigamua event'. " The posters criticized the Lambda Theta Phi mascot the conquistador, because of its association with massacring indigenous people.
