NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 1, 2006 - 7 BUSH Continued from page 1 council that sought more White House support for federal research and development funding at higher education institutions. Each year the University receives more than $17 million in grants from the Department of Energy, representing 23 percent of total research funding at the University. Bush will likely include the pro- posal in the 2007 federal budget next week.. During the 51-minute speech, Bush split his remarks evenly between foreign policy and domestic issues. Calling this one of the most "consequential peri- ods in history," Bush offered a vision for winning the war in Iraq and used clear, decisive language aimed at Iran. "We are on the offensive in Iraq with a clear plan for victory,' he said. Bush framed his Iraq strategy with a three- pronged approach designed to build an inclusive government, reconstruct the economy and train Iraqi troops. "There is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure," he said. "Hindsight alone is not wisdom and second- guessing is not a strategy" Bush also chastised what he described as a small clique of Islamic radicals holding the peo- ple of Iran hostage. The president demanded that the regime abandon its nuclear ambitions, dis- continue its support of terrorists and work toward democratic freedom. On the domestic front, the president revealed a broad range of modest policy initiatives, including a bipartisan commission to study the rising costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; a plan to make temporary tax cuts permanent; and a ban on human cloning. "He laid out a very good plan for the country and showed a tremendous amount of direction;' College Republicans chair John Kelly said. Kelly characterized the initiatives as con- crete steps in the right direction. Gov. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who responded on behalf of the Democrats after the speech, repeat- ed the phrase "there is a better way" numerous times while challenging the President's leader- ship on a broad spectrum of political issues. "Our federal government should serve the American people, but that mission is frustrated by this administration's poor choices and bad management," Kaine said. "Families in the Gulf Coast see that as they wait to rebuild their lives." Political Science Prof. Lawrence Greene ques- tioned Bush's motives. "He has never shown any interest in those initiatives before. This is an election year and he does not want to be a lame duck" Greene said. Jamie Ruth, vice-chair of the College Demo- crats, liked some of the domestic proposals, such as reducing dependency on foreign oil, but doubt- ed Bush's sincerity. "The words are good, but I don't know if he can put the money where his mouth is," Ruth said. Many pundits billed this speech as a crossroads for Bush, arguing he needed a strong performance to reverse growing public disapproval. If he is unsuccessful, commentators said, he will have a difficult time passing his proposed legislation. Bush began the year with an approval rating of 52 percent and ended the year at 41 percent, according to FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll data. He is scheduled to travel to Minnesota, New Mexico, Tennessee and Texas this week to rally support for his newly minted proposals. In a relatively light moment during the address, Bush made reference to his age as he transitioned from foreign policy to health care reform. "This year the first of about 78 million baby boomers turn 60, including two of my dad's favorite people: Me and President Clinton." Sen. Hilary Clinton (D-NY.) managed an ambivalent - if not cold - grin after the com- ment. About a minute later, Bush was abruptly cut off by a thunderous applause from the Democratic side of the aisle when he said that Congress did not enact his Social Security proposal last year. Clinton's awkward grin was quickly replaced with a laugh and a smile. Bush waited about 15 seconds before the Democrats suspended their outburst amid a chorus of presumably Republican boos. - Joelle Dodge and Donn M. Fresard contributed to this report OSCARS Continued from page 1 formance in the international thriller "Syriana." Joining Ledger in the Best Actor category was a trio of acclaimed portrayals of mid-24th century American icons: Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line," Phillip Seymour Hoffman as author Truman Capote in "Capote" and David Strathairn as newsman Edward Murrow in "Good Night, and Good Luck." Breakout star Terrance Howard also earned a nomination for the up-and-coming rapper tale "Hustle & Flow" a sleeper hit last summer. Reese Witherspoon earned her first career nomi- nation for her turn as June Carter-Cash in "Walk the Line," along with 20-year-old British actress Keira Knightely, who received her first nod for the more youth-oriented take on Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" Perennial favorites also shone through, with former winners Charlize Theron ("Monster") and Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love") earning nods for their acclaimed performances in the miner drama "North Country" and the little-seen "Mrs. Henderson Presents" Following her Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, Felicity Huffman, star of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," also made the cut for her performance as a transsexual reconnect- ing with the son she fathered in "Transamerica." On the female end of the supporting categories, Amy Adams earned a nod for Phil Morrison's "Junebug," despite the film's inopportune late- summer release and limited distribution. Rachel Weisz also earned a nod for her turn as a doomed young activist in "The Constant Gardener," while former "Fargo" winner Frances McDormand joined her for her work in "North Country." As expected, one-time "Dawson's Creek" star Wil- liams was also nominated for portrayal of a young wife thrown into emotional tumult in "Brokeback Mountain." Matt Dillon led the supporting actor nods for his standout turn among more than 20 notable perfor- mances in the ensemble drama "Crash:" His was the film's only acting nomination. Paul Giamatti overcame last year's "Sideways" with a nod for his role in "Cinderella Man." William Hurt also earned a surprise nomination for his brief but central per- formance in "A History of Violence," while Clooney continued his streak with a nod for "Syriana. Mean- while, Gyllenhaal stepped out of costar Ledger's shadow with recognition for his work in "Brokeback Mountain." DRUCHNIAK Continued from page 1 that Druchniak had died, the class was shocked.

There's some- thing quite special you want to achieve. It's something dear to your heart, and could involve a friend or a group. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might approach a parent, boss or authority figure to lobby on behalf of someone else today, especially at work. You want to help the underdog. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone could accuse you of indulging in escapist fantasies today. However, we all have to dream, don't we? It's OK to have something to aim for. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You're willing to put the needs of oth- ers before your own. You feel quite self- less today when you consider the over- whelming conditions that others are fac- ing. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're confused about a partnership or close relationship. Caution: You want to idolize someone and look at him or her with rose-colored glasses. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your ability to use yourimagination SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You want to avoid difficult discus- sions or confrontations with family members today. That's OK, but do not be dishonest in order to get around any- thing. Just say nothing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You can't help daydreaming today. Your mind keeps drifting off to possible future conquests and exploits. Relax. It's just that kind of day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be careful with your money today. There could be some confusion. You might get the wrong change, you might lose money, someone could be dishonest with you, or you might be way too extravagant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is not a good day for you to make important decisions. Mercury and Neptune are lined up in your sign. This is like having Vaseline on your lens. Things look wonderful, but are they? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's easy to kid yourself today. This kidding could go either way: You might think things are better than they are, or you might think things are worse. Wait a day to find out. YOU BORN TODAY You're clever and mentally quick. You have a fine SUMMER COUNSELORS WANTED 1 Counselors needed for our student travel and pre-college enrichment programs, middle school enrichment, and college admissions prep.
