ROBERTS Continued from page 1 attended by the other justices. A formal Supreme court ceremony was scheduled for Monday, before the opening of the term. O'Connor, a moderate voice on the Supreme Court and one of only two women, is leaving after 24 years. It is the first time in 34 years that a president has had simultaneous high court openings. The president originally named Roberts to succeed O'Connor in July. Rehnquist's death led to the switch to Roberts for the chief justice on Sept. 6. O'Connor remains on the court until the president selects a replacement and that person is confirmed by the Republican- controlled Senate. The only justice not at the White House was Antonin Scalia. He had a previous engagement that could not be broken, a court spokeswoman said. According the Federalist Society Web site, he was leading a two-day seminar on the separation of powers in Avon, Colo. Not since John Marshall, confirmed in 1801 at 45, has there been a younger chief. Roberts is the first new Supreme Court justice since 1994. Before becoming a federal appeals court judge, he was one of the nation's best appellate lawyers, arguing 39 cases - many in front of the same eight jus- tices he will now lead as chief. He won 25 of those cases. Under Roberts, the court will tackle such issues as assisted suicide, cam- paign finance law and abortion this year, with questions about religion, same-sex marriage, the government's war on ter- rorism and human clonig looming in the future. Said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn: "For many years to come, long after many of us have left public service, the Roberts court will be delib- erating on some of the most difficult and fundamental questions of U.S. law." Twenty-two Democrats opposed Roberts, saying he could turn out to be as conservative as Scalia and Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court anchors on the right. "At the end of the day, I have too many unanswered questions about the nominee to justify confirm- ing him to this lifetime seat," said Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Anti-abortion and abortion rights activists both have their hopes pinned on Roberts, a former govern- ment lawyer in the Reagan and first Bush administrations. While Roberts is solidly conser- vative and his wife, Jane, volunteers for Feminists for Life, both sides were eager to see how he would vote on abortion cases. Roberts told senators during his confirmation hearings that past Supreme Court rulings carry weight, including the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in 1973. He also said he agreed with the 1965 Supreme Court ruling in Gris- wold v. Connecticut that established the right of privacy in the sale and use of contraceptives. But he tempered that by saying Supreme Court justices can overturn rulings. BYLAWS Continued from page 1 ed the addition of the phrase "gender identity and expression" to the bylaws. The Michigan Student Assembly also approved a resolution urging the regents to amend the bylaws. Additionally, orga- nizations such as the Office of Institu- tional Equity, Stonewall Democrats and the Wolverine Coalition have dedicated significant time and energy toward the cause. The Wolverine Coalition has col- lected more than 1,000 signatures on a petition calling for the amendment. Kalra said that after attending regents' meetings, she came to the conclusion that the eight-member regent board is split down the middle, with four regents in support of the idea and four regents against it. She expressed concern that the board has been avoiding casting bal- lots on the issue because the Regents fear that approving such a resolution would have a negative impact on their future political careers. The University has taken several steps on the issue. In February of last year, then-Provost Paul Courant sent out a campuswide e-mail stating that the University would not discriminate based on gender identity. In the e-mail, Courant wrote that the current prohibi- tion against discrimination based on sex implicitly includes prohibition of discrimination based on gender identity and expression. According to Courant, the guidelines laid out in that memo apply to the whole University. "(The provost's statement) is the offi- cial policy, and we expect everyone to follow that policy," University spokes- woman Julie Peterson said. "Now, the University's focus is on making sure that those commitments are implement- ed, and that we live up to the promise TWO BDRM. APT. avail. for immed. occu- pancy.

LEO Continued from page 1 and work with LEO before the issue is resolved. She also said LEO would be hold- ing a membership meeting on Oct. 11 to inform the membership of its prog- ress and determine what to do about the administration's response to the misclassification cases and the delay in payments. BIG EASY Continued from page 1 17 centuries later, it became a tourist attrac- tion with a discontinued heritage. Even though the history of New Orleans hasn't been buried, Powell and other speak- ers emphasized the danger in allowing the task of writing the city's future to be left to those repairing Katrina's damage. The idea that it could become an "adult Disney World" was explored when several audience members expressed concern that privatization could harm New Orleans, with contractors taking advantage of the city's destruction for profit. Kevin Gaines, director of the University's Center for Afroamerican and African Stud- ies, noted that the displaced people of the region would not have much say in what the city would become. He cited the ambiguous status of their voting and property rights in the city as reasons why they may not neces- sarily have a say in what it becomes. COURSES Continued from page 1 get degrees in general areas of study, the University hopes to allow undergraduates to take advantage of the large number of quality programs available. "These are topics that no one depart- ment at the University would be able to study or teach," Hanlon said. The idea of team teaching is not some- thing new at the University. Ben a Van Der Pluijm, a professor of geological sciences, is the course director of a course called Global Change. Global Change has been a course at the University since 1992, and Pluijm calls it a "success." He teaches the course - which looks at the evolution of the Earth's environment, the causes, the potential effects and the role of humans - with three other professors from a variety of backgrounds: biology, the atmosphere and the study of fresh water. But Pluijjm is careful to say the rea- son team-teaching works so well for his course is because the material demands it. The course covers a broad range of topics, making it difficult for a single professor - with a background in one area - to teach the course alone. Pluijm said he is not convinced that all courses could be team taught. "Team teaching itself should not be something to pursue just for the sake of team teaching," he said. "But as long as the material stays seamless, they (the students) find it enormously helpful." Hanlon said the taskforce hopes to look at the success of courses like Global Change when deciding how to spend its money. The money is to be distributed over five years at the discretion of the taskforce, and Han- lon said the primary goal is to have three new courses by then. He said he did not know when the first course approved by the taskforce would be available. Kalra, who spoke at last night's meet- ing on behalf of the Stonewall Demo- crats and the Wolverine Coalition, said until the regents officially alters the bylaws, further progress against dis- crimination will be stunted. She added that the University's policy needs to be visible to be understood. "When you think of the word 'sex,' you don't think of gender identity and gender expression - at least I don't," Kalra said. "Having a visible policy in place is key to being able to educate people about it. ... It's hard to teach people about something they can't see." Regent Rebecca McGowan (D-Ann Arbor), who has appeared willing to listen to LGBT concerns in the past, said that until the administration gives the regents a resolution to vote on, she could not speculate as to the attitude of the board. Toy said it is urgent that the University take action. He alluded to several acts of violence against transgender individu- als, ranging from hateful comments to a murder three years ago on the outskirts of the city. He added that transgender people often face discrimination even within the LGBT community. He advo- cates changing the widely used acronym LGBT, which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, to TBLG, placing transgenders and bisexu- als first in order to highlight their importance. "The last shall be first," Toy said, quoting the New Testament of the Bible. He added that it was especially important for the bylaws to include the phrase "gender identity and expression" in addition to "sexual orientation" and "sex" because trans- gender people face the most intense discrimination of any in the LGBT be a spring break rep and ri rft" uvwEov Preel' get the ultimate hookups with STA Travel, the world leader in student travel! book earl and ,ave!
