NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 10, 2006 - 7 BECKHAM Continued from page 1 differences when they pop up. CSJ is part of the Michigan Student Assembly. If private mediation does not resolve the conflict, CSJ holds a hearing to determine whether a trial is neces- sary. Susan Wilson, director of the Office of Student Activities and Leadership, will mediate a meeting today with Beckham and the show's organizers. At the meeting, each side will pres- ent its case in an attempt to resolve the issue. CSJ Chief Justice Tim Harrington said he is confident that the two sides will reach a solution. It is unlikely the complaint will reach a trial in front of CSJ. It is not clear what power CSJ would have over the production, but Harrington said it is unlikely it would be able to stop the show. Beckham said he hopes his meet- ing with the show's organizers will address his complaint and generate ideas about how to better approach casting in the future. "I would like a conversation over how it was done, why it was done and how we can do it better," Beck- ham said. "I think raising awareness of domestic violence is very impor- tant. But when it comes to issues like race, we need to be careful that we aren't silencing other voices." Beckham said it is not yet clear whether the production of this year's show will be interrupted. The play is scheduled for Feb. 19. Since announcing their intention to employ an all-minority cast last October, the producers and directors of the production have been show- ered with criticism from students and community members who argue that the policy runs contrary to the movement's goal of female solidar- ity and empowerment. The monologues are part of the V- Day College Campaign, an interna- tional political movement that works to stop violence against women. The V-Day organization, which owns the rights to the play, requires that campus organizers adhere to various stipulations concerning the produc- tion of the monologues. For example, the show must be open to all women regardless of race, and no men are allowed on- stage during a performance of the monologues. Additionally, because the produc- tion is also registered as a student organization with MSA, organizers must comply with the University's state-mandated policy of nondis- crimination, which prohibits exclu- sion based on race. The production dodged the contro- versy last month by casting women who are white, but "identify" with other colors. For example, one cast member identifies herself as "pink." "At auditions, we experienced white women identifying themselves as 'women of color,' " co-director Molly Raynor told The Michigan Daily last month. "Instead, some are white women who identify them- selves with various colors." Beckham's accusations addressed the production as a whole and did not name an individual producer, direc- tor or executive, Harrington said. Because he spent last semester abroad - when debate and discus- sion over the casting policy began - co-director Whitehead said Beckham might be misinformed about the organizers' goal to have an all-minority cast. "As far as I know, (Beckham) has never attempted to become involved or come to us, and I am assuming he is basing (the complaint) on what he has heard from other people," Whitehead said. Beckham claims that he under- stands the issue well enough, despite his absence from campus last semester. "My being out of the country had nothing to do with the decisions that were made," Beckham said. "I'm not ignorant to the facts, but the situation remains unchanged. It is a question of whether the decisions were proper in the first place." ENGLISH Continued from page 1 Herrmann - the longest tenured member of the assistant coaching staff - has been criti- cized in the past. specifically for his unit's per- formance in late-game situations. Michigan finished the year 7-5, its worst record since 1984 (6-6). In four of those loses, the Wol- verines surrendered the game-winning score in the final five minutes of the game. Three of those plays occurred within the final minute of the game. Rumors have swirled that an NFL coaching job looms in Herrmann's future. USA Today reported that the Dallas Cowboys have expressed interest in hiring him as their linebackers' coach, attempting to fill a hole opened when Gary Gibbs left the team for the New Orleans Saints. English's return may quell the fears of some high school coaches, who expressed concern about the timing of his departure. English announced his plans less than a week after last Wednesday's signing day, when recruits formal- ized their scholarship decisions. On Tuesday, Angelo Gasca, high school coach of the incoming safety Jonas Mouton, told The Ann Arbor News: "It's pretty disappointing for Jonas. One of the links these young men have to the University is the coaches that they have relationships with." Mouton, a highly-touted prospect, told Wol- verines coach Lloyd Carr just two days prior to the event that he wanted to attend Michigan. English's move marks a major turning point in what has been an eventful off-season for the Wolverines. Last week, offensive coordinator Terry Malone accepted a job as tight end coach with the New Orleans Saints. Carr looked in-house for a suc- cessor, tapping special teams coach Mike DeBord for the spot. DeBord led Michigan's offense for three seasons (1997-99) before leaving to take the head coaching position at Central Michigan. In his first year as offensive coordinator, Michigan won the national championship. DeBord rejoined the Wolverines in 2004. According to some sources, the coaching staff shuffle may not yet be finished. There has been speculation that quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler had received interest from NFL teams. On Tuesday, Loeffler told The Detroit News he had no intentions of leaving Ann Arbor. "I am not leaving the University of Michigan," Loeffler said. "I am happy and perfectly content here." OFFENDERS Continued from page 1 second and indefinitely after the third. For selling illegal drugs, a student can lose fed- eral aid for two years after the first offense. After the second offense, though, he can lose it indefinitely. According to Students for Sensible Drug Policy, a nonprofit group based in Wash- ington D.C., more than 175,000 students have been affected by the law. Margaret Rodriguez, senior associate director of the University's financial aid office, said she didn't know of any Univer- sity students the law has affected. It might make a bigger difference at other universi- ties, she said. The law restricting federal student aid to drug offenders has been on the books since 1998. That year, Congress reworked the thee-decade-old Higher Education Act, and Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) added the controversial regulation. "Mark Souder is the leading drug warrior in Congress and just wants to punish people who use drugs," Angell said. "He has no interest in making college campuses safer." Souder's office declined to comment because The Michigan Daily is a college newspaper. James Geoffrey, a spokesman for Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), said the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce - the committee responsible for changes to the Higher Education Act - sim- ply attempted to correct a law they consid- ered incorrectly implemented. McKeon is expected to become chair of the committee soon, and he played a large part in revising the law to make some drug offenders eli- gible for federal aid. "When the original (1998) plan went through, it was intended that you would lose student aid for a period of probation," Geof- frey said. "It was not intended that students would be barred from receiving financial aid forever." But the House Committee on Education and the Workforce still believes there should be a penalty for drug offenders because they need to pay their debt to society, Geoffrey said. "You get kids that are working hard, doing what they're supposed to be doing, who are denied money for aid," Geoffrey said. "There's only so much to go around, so why give it to someone who's in violation of the law?" Many groups consider the law unfair and ineffective. Congress has faced intense pressure since 1998 from the American Civil Liberties Union and SSDP, as well as from concerned students. "By blocking education to drug offend- ers, it prevents them from becoming respon- sible, tax-paying individuals," Angell said. But according to a report released by the United States Government Accountability Office, the 1998 Higher Education Act nei- ther kept drug offenders out of college nor prevented drug use. "We were unable to find research that conclusively indicates whether these provi- sions of the Higher Education Act led indi- viduals to forgo postsecondary education or deterred individuals from engaging in drug use and drug-related criminal activities," the report said. GRAMMYS Continued from page 1 would have to work on over the years, and I just kept putting together sketches and jot- tings and sometimes completed things and put them all in a big box. I was finally able to do big chunks of it here (at the Universi- ty) and finally finished the orchestration." Bolcom has been affiliated with the Uni- versity since 1973, but has also accumulated numerous awards outside of his work here, including the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for music, two Koussevitzky Foundation awards and four honorary doctorates. With such a respectable past, there seems to be little that Bolcom has left to achieve. Still, he said, he plans to continue compos- ing. "I don't know (what comes next) - I'll just go on and do more things," Bolcom said. "I'll just keep on working, and in the meantime, this is a very great excitement particularly because I'm very proud of the school and how everyone worked on this thing together. We brought all kinds of peo- ple together and it was just a thrill." the michigan daily PICK UP THE PACE!! Housing for 2006-07 is running thin.
