NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 14, 2005 - 7 COKE Continued from page 1 tor of purchasing for the University and a member of the DRB, said Coke is "not in a position to agree to the investigation in Colombia or India." Although the DRB's original requirement was that Coke agree to the audits by the September deadline, Poszywak still didn't recommend that the contract be cut because of what he sees as "good faith actions" from Coke - a standard that Slottow had earlier said he would accept, to the dismay of anti-Coke student groups. Slottow and Peggy Norgren, associate vice president for finance, sent a letter to Coke yesterday informing the company of their decision. "They've taken a number of steps to move the inves- tigations forward. We'll want to keep watching to make sure they keep moving forward with the investi- gation process," Norgren said. However, before the University announced its deci- the michigan daily sion yesterday, the Coke-Campaign Coalition, a group of students that is agitating for the University to cut its contracts with Coke, had delivered letters of its own. The coalition delivered letters to University admin- istrators earlier yesterday saying that if they don't cut the contract with the soft-drink giant, the coalition will escalate its anti-Coke campaign. Coke-Campaign Coalition members Nafisah Ula, Lindsey Rogers and Ben Grimshaw delivered letters to the secretaries of Slottow, Norgren and Univer- sity President Mary Sue Coleman, which said that Coke's letter was an unacceptable response to the deadline and therefore the contract should be cut. "Coca-Cola's letter was full of half-truths and lies," Grimshaw said. "Coca-Cola is treating this as a PR issue, rather than a labor issue." Norgren said the students' letter ignores some significant factors that need to be taken into account before making the decision. "I think what the students are failing to recognize is that the committee has made substantial progress with the Colombia assessment plans in collaboration with Coke, and the Sept. 30 letter reiterated their commit- ment to working toward this end," Norgren said. Kerry Kerr, a spokesman for Coke, said the com- pany was very thankful to the University for its thoughtful response. "We want to continue to work with the University on the issues raised by the Dispute Review Board," Kerr said. "We are engaged in a significant effort involved with a number of colleges and Universities, including the University of Michigan, and that's to gather more information and also review potential approaches to resolve these issues." Kerr said she was disappointed with the actions taken by the coalition. "We do feel that's unfortunate, because we are committed to working with the school toward mak- ing progress," she said of the students' response to Coke's letter.

"Making something like this hap- pen is probably one of the most diffi- cult things a student organization can do," MSA President Jesse Levine said. According to Susan Pile, director of University Arts and Programs, funding the concert was the greatest concern. "It costs a lot of money to bring an entertainer of this nature to campus. We worked with the students closely to develop a budget. But they had the funds and were willing to make it happen, so we were there to support them," Pile said. MSA will invest $50,000 in the concert, but hopes to regain most of that through ticket sales, Levine said. The remainder of costs will be split between Hillel and UAC. ISRAEL Continued from page 1 their credits, Dickerman said. However, arranging to study abroad through another university is difficult and deters many students from going to Israel, Kuhn said. Students who study abroad through other universities do.not receive financial aid, and the grades they earn in these programs do not count toward their grade-point averages. "It's a significant academic experience that the University is not giving (students) credit for," she said. Kuhn estimated that between 25 and 30 University students study abroad in Israel every year despite the difficulties. Many universities have lifted their suspensions on travel to Israel this year because officials said they feel the security situation has improved. Among Big Ten universities, the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University and Ohio State Uni- versity have approved programs or spe- cial processes by which students can get approval to study in Israel. The University of Texas at Austin reviewed its suspension of study-abroad programs to Israel in February 2005 at the request of students and faculty. Although it did not lift the suspension, UT-Aus- tin developed a process through which students could appeal individually to be allowed to study in Israel, said John Sun- nygard, director of the Center for Global Educational Opportunities in Austin. Sunnygard said UT-Austin decided to allow students to go to the country because of Israel's recent disengagement from the Gaza Strip and the death of Yasir Arafat Crisler Arena, which holds 13,751 people, was also originally consid- ered as a possible venue but ultimately Hill Auditorium, which has a seating capacity of 3,700, was chosen for cost and logistical reasons. "There is something to be said of the atmosphere of a small, sold-out venue as opposed to a half-filled arena not designed for the event," said Mary Beth Roeder, president of Big Ticket Productions. Student tickets for the concert will go on sale at noon today at the Michigan Union Ticket Office in the basement of the Union. Tickets will cost 25 dollars for balcony seats and 30 dollars for floor and mezza- nine seats. Students may purchase up to four tickets and must present a valid Mcard. Remaining tickets will be available to the general public at a slightly higher price on Oct. 25 through Ticketmaster. - events that the school believes have improved the security of the area. The school was also concerned that the suspen- sion made it financially difficult for stu- dents to go abroad and that some students might not receive adequate information about safety if they had to find their own study-abroad programs, he added. In order to appeal the suspension for Israel or any other country where there are significant security concerns, students are required to provide academic justifi- cation for the trip, sign a waiver, read the State Department warning and a security briefing from a private security firm and outline the steps they will take to stay safe while abroad, Sunnygard said. To assess the security situation, Sunny- gard traveled to Israel in March 2005. "I was very impressed with what the Israeli universities do," he said. "The uni- versities have very, very, very sophisticated security personnel.... And every student is surrounded by people who are really clued in to what is going on around them." Friedman said although there were incidents of violence when he traveled to Israel, he still felt safe while he was there. "(Fears of attack) are irrational fears," he said. "The odds of you being involved in an attack are so small." The situation in Israel seemed much more dangerous to people at home in the United States than to the students on his trip, he added. AMI will continue to pursue this issue and will seek the help of the Detroit Jew- ish community, Kuhn said. AMI will also seek to educate students about non-Uni- versity-sponsored study-abroad programs to Israel, she added. 916Mary 7 418E.KingsleyA 6 418E.KingsleyB 7 1522 Geddes 7 926 Sylvan 7 909 Sylan 8 927S.State 6 933 S.

VIGIL Continued from page 1 of them easily could have been injured or killed by the earthquake inspired the student groups to raise money for the victims, said SAPA founder and external relations co- chair Madhuri Singh. The vigil drew members of more than a dozen South Asian and religious student groups, but the participants also included many non-South Asians, some of whom were passersby offered candles and the chance to participate. "Right now it's a South Asian issue, but we'd like to expand awareness and get a lot of people involved," Javaid said. "A tragic event brings people together no mat- ter what their background is." Many students said their families in South Asia had heard horrific sto- ries about the devastation left by the earthquake. "My dad told me some of the stories he had heard from his friend, who works with a relief orga- nization," LSA senior Taha Qazi said during the vigil. "(The friend) talked to a doctor whose patient had lost all of her children, ages between six and 12, when their school's roof collapsed." Arranging a vigil was the idea of IASA secretary Juhi Aggarwal, IASA member Priyanka Shah and Javaid, who decided to do some- thing and met to discuss it shortly after hearing about the earthquake on Saturday. They hoped for an event to bring all the South-Asian student groups together. "We can work together because politics aren't dividing us," said Singh, a Business senior. "These disasters aren't man-made - they just happen." Between a Tuesday benefit din- ner and donations through its web- site, PSA has already raised nearly $1,500, not including the money collected last night. Members of the groups held buckets at the vigil, soliciting donations from those in attendance. The organizations plan to collect donations and sell T-shirts over the next few weeks. They hope to remain active and prevent the loss of momentum that strikes many relief efforts, Javaid said. An event at the local club Necto with proceeds going to charity is also being considered. All dona- tions that the campus groups col- lect will either go to the President's Relief Fund or the Edhi. Founda- tion, two Pakistani organizations involved with bringing food, money and medical supplies to the devas- tated regions. Students who would like to get involved in the campus relief effort are advised to speak with a fund- raiser on the Diag or e-mail pak. aid@umich.edu. 4 8 Bdrm: 7 bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 6 Bdrm: 5 Bdrm: 4 Bdrm: 4 Bdrm: 540 Packard 1102 Prospect 1016 S.
