cept of preferences, and to say that there
are preferences in American society for
women and minorities is to push a Hit-
lerian 'Big Lie' to shape social policy.
There are no preferences for minorities
and women in American society"
MCRI, One United Michigan and
BAMN plan on making their respective
cases to the State Board of Canvassers at
its next meeting. The meeting is scheduled
to take place before a Jan.20 deadline.
The State Court of Appeals created
the deadline last month after the board
failed to follow a court order to approve
language for the ballot. At the Dec. 14
board meeting, two Republicans voted
in favor of the proposal, one Democrat
voted against it, and another abstained.
Republican Board of Canvassers Chair
Kathy DeGrow said she could not specu-
late whether the board would endorse
this new proposal, but she was optimistic
at the chances of an agreement.
"Typically in the past when proposed
language comes before us with an agree-
ment like this, the board approves it,"
DeGrow said.
DeGrow said the Bureau of State Elec-
tions and the attorney general's office
will evaluate the proposed language to
see whether it complies with election
rules and is appropriate for statutes in the
state constitution. DeGrow called these
steps formalities that are unlikely to sig-
nificantly change the proposal.

Brown said that earlier this

The student identified his

ference has two more overall wins than
that team, Chipman said.
At the hearing, Delany - one of six
witnesses - disputed claims that the
only roadblock to a playoff system in
Division 1-A football is the economic
interest of the major conferences and
corporate sponsors. According to
Delany, a playoff system would gen-
erate "many times" more money than
the bowl system produces.
Delany also cited the long-standing
relationship between the Big Ten and
bowls like the Rose Bowl in his stance
against a playoff.
The Big Ten already distributes sever-
al million dollars to its member schools
from bowl appearances. According to
Chipman, the conference received about
$23.5 million this year from the selec-
tion of Penn State and Ohio State to
BCS bowls. The Big Ten evenly distrib-
utes this money, along with the payouts

from all the other bowl games, to all 11
schools in the conference.
Division 1-A football is the only sport
under NCAA jurisdiction that does not
use a postseason playoff to determine a
national champion.
Crissy Schaluep, a spokeswoman for
the NCAA, said she does not expect the
NCAA to organize a Division 1-A play-
off anytime in the near future.
"The NCAA is a membership-led
organization," Schaluep said. "Our
members have not conveyed interest in
a Division 1-A football playoff."
Despite the odds against a playoff at
this time, Carr is confident that a play-
off system will someday produce the
national champion.
"I think, eventually, we're going to
have a playoff system," he said. "How
soon that's going to be, I don't know.
But I think it's inevitable. Whether it
will be in my lifetime or not, remains
to be seen.

tries that may pose a threat to the United
States cannot participate in some areas
of classified research.
"It's antithetical to the purpose of
research universities to exclude cer-
tain students from certain classes and
majors," Coleman said. "If we start set-
ting up barriers, saying this or that class
can only be taken by Americans, we
have a reason to be worried about it."
While the administration did not
announce policy changes concerning the.
export controls or visa regulations at the
summit, Coleman said she considered
the summit a sign that the government
and educational establishments are will-
ing to talk.
"I was optimistic about the directness
of the administration during the sum-
mit," Coleman said. "The administra-
tion asked some very direct questions,
which shows their willingness to listen
to what universities feel is important, to
make them a priority."
Another result of the conference is
Bush's announcement of the National
Security Language Inititive, a $114-
million plan to increase the number of
Americans fluent in languages critical
to national security.
These languages, such as Arabic,

Hindi and Farsi, are languages that the
government has deemed necessary for
national security.
NSLI programs currently prioritize
language education for K-12 students over
education for university students, accord-
ing to a State Department press release.
"In this world where what you know
means much more than where you live,
we all have a responsibility to make sure
America's education system gives stu-
dents the chance to succeed," Secretary
of Education Margaret Spellings said
in her keynote address at the summit.
"Preparing our students for the future
begins long before college."
The NSLI will subsidize programs
teaching languages from kindergarten
through high school and provide addi-
tional scholarships for high school
students to study abroad. It will also
increase the number of scholarships
for foreign teachers studying in the
U.S. and American teachers studying
overseas.
The government promised to do some
follow-up work in supporting the study
of language on a university level, Cole-
man said.
"I'd be interested to see if any of this
shows up in the president's State of the
Union address," Coleman said. "I don't
know if it will, but I'd see that as really
showing the president is dedicated to the
needs of universities.".

SHARON
Continued from page 1A
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, The
Associated Press reported last week.
LSA senior Rama Salhi, a member of
the pro-Palestinian group, Students Allied
for Freedom and Equality, said she thinks
Sharon's health crisis won't have a signifi-
cant impact on the Middle East.
"I don't think that things will
change very much because it isn't
so much (Sharon's) existence but the
existence of his mentality that mat-
ters," Salhi said.

Doctors will not know the extent
of Sharon's brain damage until the
anesthesia is reduced. Doctors plan
to reduce medication and awaken
Sharon from the medically induced
coma today.
Miller said it was important to bring
Jewish students together in prayer and
in support for one another.
"It's a vigil in his honor and memory
- not memory, hopefully," Kuhn said.
"It serves to bring together the campus
community under a united goal."
