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. HOLOCAUST Continued from page 1 nity for students to discuss issues such as human rights, courage and personal integrity within the framework of learning about the holocaust," Bajar said. "He is one of the University's inter- national heroes," Rush said. "The 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- taken by the IRWF on the 60th anniversary of Wallenberg's dis- appearance, an international cam- paign was launched entitled: "100,000 names for the 100,000 lives."
