orientation as well as a separate, mandatory
workshop for treasurers. Ten members are now
required for a group to be recognized instead
of five, and all groups must agree to follow the
University's nondiscrimination policy in the
University's bylaws.
Student groups - which SOAR notified
of the changes in August - have until Feb.
I to re-register through the Michigan Student
Assembly.
MSA President Jesse Levine said that while
MSA will not be affected much by the changes,
other groups will have better access to University
resources such as vehicles and meeting space.
"SOAR will provide an equality of oppor-
tunity for all student organizations to have
access to resources in a fair and equitable way,"
Levine said. He added that it is important for
all student groups to embrace the nondiscrimi-
nation policy.
Sarma said these new rules would bring
more transparency to the relationship between
student groups and the University.
"(The rules) do not impose significant chang-
es on most organizations but simply clarify
responsibilities and liabilities that have been
hard to determine up to this point," he said.
Wilson said groups have expressed concern
about a perceived increase in red tape but have
acknowledged the necessity of the changes.
"There's more a group has to do now, but
... it's not a whole lot more," Wilson said.
"This is just a little bit more work for hope-
fully more benefit."
Wilson said that although only 300 groups
have registered so far - usually 600 have
registered by this time - she was pleased
that so many have registered so soon after
the changes.
BUSH
Continued from page 1
The president refused to com-
ment on an issue looming over the
White House - the investigation
into the leak of a CIA agent's iden-
tity. With two top White House
officials a focus of the inquiry,
Bush was asked whether he would
fire anybody indicted in the probe.
"I'm not going to talk about the
investigation until it's complete,"
he said.
On Katrina, Bush said he would
work with Congress to "make real
cuts" in non-security spending to
help in rebuilding the. Gulf Coast.
"The private sector will be the
engine that drives the recovery of
the Gulf Coast," he said. But he
said the nation will continue to
spend whatever it takes to support
U.S. troops in Iraq.
Bush claimed progress on train-
ing Iraqi forces to take over the
security of their country despite
last week's statement from the top
U.S. commander there that only one
Iraqi battalion, down from three, is
ready to fight without U.S. help.
President Bush speaks from the Oval Office Monday after nominat-
ing White House counsel Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"He is one of the University's inter-

world is much aware of him. I thought
the University should have been too,
that's why I made the sculptor.",
As part of the initiatives under-
