Attorney: Foley to reveal
name of alleged abuser

NOT PACKED ENOUGH

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
(AP) - Disgraced former Con-
gressman Mark Foley, who
claimed he was sexually abused
by a Roman Catholic clergyman
when he was a teen, will reveal
the man's identity to the Archdio-
cese of Miami, his attorney said
yesterday.
No criminal charges can be filed
because the statute of limitations
on sexual assault expired long
ago, but the archdiocese requested
information about Foley's accusa-
tions, attorney Gerald Richman
said.
"We're talking about issues that
happened 36 to 38 years ago,"
Richman said. "This is all part
of the healing process for Mark
Foley. He thinks it's important to
go ahead and bring this informa-
tion out and hope and encourage
other people who have been simi-
larly abused to go ahead and come
forward."

Richman said that when details
are released they would deflate
critics who have accused Foley, 52,
of making up the abuse allegation
shortly after he was confronted
last month with sexually explicit
electronic messages he had sent to
teenage male pages.
"It's going to be very clear in
the coming days that it is a fact
as opposed to any possible alle-
gations that it was a fantasy or
something made up for political
purposes," Richman said.
Richman said Foley has not told
him the name of the clergyman
but has told another attorney. He
said the clergyman is still alive.
Archdiocese spokeswoman
Mary Ross Agosta said the church
had urged Foley to identify his
abuser but said she was not aware
that any meeting with Foley had
been scheduled. She said the arch-
diocese's attorney is on vacation
and not immediately available.

Foley, a Florida Republican,
abruptly resigned last month over
the sexually explicit Internet com-
munications he had with teenage
boys who worked on Capitol Hill.
He has since entered an alco-
hol rehabilitation program at an
undisclosed location.
His criminal defense lawyer,
David Roth, has said Foley was an
alcoholic and gay but denied any
sexual contact with minors. He has
not been charged with a crime.
Foley's departure left behind
an Internet-age sex scandal that
shook Republican confidence
- and poll numbers - little
more than a month before elec-
tions at which their control of
the House will be tested. It also
threw the spotlight on House
Speaker Dennis Hastert regard-
ing conflicting claims about
what senior lawmakers knew,
when they learned it and what
they did about it.

me."
The building is after Joan and
Sanford Weill, longtime friends of
the Fords, who contributed $5 mil-
lion toward its $35-million dollar
price tag.
Weill Hall has been open for
classes since the beginning of the
semester. The five-story, 85,000-

square-foot structure stands at
the intersection of Hill and State
streets.
Ford School Dean Rebecca
Blank said the new facility would
enable the public policy program
to grow and would house the entire
school under one roof for the first
time.
Previously, the Ford School
was scattered across campus.
Public Policy Prof. John Cham-
berlin, who also spoke at the

event, said the school had held
classes in 14 University buildings
just last year.
Ford School alum Dudley Benoit
spoke at the dedication on behalf of
alumni.
He joked that being forced to
run across campus to find classes
helped build character for stu-
dents in his day, and he worried
that the new public policy stu-
dents would get complacent and
soft in the new building.


CO-O PS
Continued from page 1A
American cities where cooperative
living has historically been very
successful. The other three are
Berkeley, Calif.; Minneapolis/St.
Paul, Minn.; and Austin, Texas,
where the University of Texas and
the city of Austin are building a
new complex of co-ops for stu-
dents.
Both Travis Jones and his father
said the key to the success of co-ops
in cities like Austin is constructive
partnership between universities
and local city governments.
"That would be great if we could
do that up here, but it's not in the
cards because the University likes
to make money off its students
and keeps building dorms," Travis.
Jones said.
University Housing spokes-
man Alan Levy explained that
the University originally built and
structured Oxford Housing as
cooperative housing but discontin-
ued the practice in 2000 because of
a lack of student interest.
"Our experience was that stu-

dents really look to on-campus
housing for a traditional residence
hall experience or an apartment
experience,' Levy said.
The University has no plans to
provide cooperative housing to stu-
dents again because there is already
a high-quality option available in
the form of the ICC, Levy said.
"This is their sole focus, and
they're good at it," Levy said. "We
think we're doing a better service
for U-M students by focusing on
what we're good at, which is resi-
dence halls and on-campus apart-
ments."
While University Housing is
currently focused on improving
its existing residence hall and din-
ing communities - including the
ongoing renovation of Mosher-
Jordan residence hall, construc-
tion of the Hill Dining Center and
the pending construction of North
Quad Residence Hall - the Uni-
versity maintains a good working
relationship with the ICC, Levy
said, and actively promotes co-ops
as an affordable alternative to tra-
ditional off-campus living.
Another feature of co-ops is the
flexibility they offer when it comes

to lease lengths. Only one co-op
- King House on Kingsley Street
- offers only 12-month leases.
Other co-ops usually offer leases
from four to eight months.
During the summer months or
with special permission during the
school year, residents can sign con-
tracts for just a month or two.
This kind of affordability has
been a huge help to Engineering
freshman James Rivard, who pays
for his own room and board.
Rivard estimated that living
in the Nakamura co-op on State
Street saves him between $2,000
to $3,000 a year compared to Uni-
versity dorms.
He compared residence hall life
to living in a co-op.
He said co-op living had added
benefits aside from the low cost.
"I don't think they have 28 peo-
ple that they can call really gocd
friends or that they can depend on,"
Rivard said.
Engineering junior Liz Maxey,
Rivard's housemate, said living in
Nakamura is a lesson in responsi-
bility.
"You know you have to do your
work;' Maxey said.

BOOZE

expected to sell for about $80,000
per year.
Because most schools ban alco-
hol to prevent students and fans
from drinking excessively, they
face a dilemma when dealing with
the donors and boosters who buy
premium seating. Universities must
either look the other way while suite
owners drink or enforce the rules
and risk alienating big donors -
and losing the money they generate.
Rather than crack down on
donors and boosters, most Big Ten
schools have decided to let suite
owners have their way.
Last September, Michigan State
University obtained a license to sell
alcohol on the club level of Spartan
Stadium.
The MSU trustees made an
exception to a previous policy ban-
ning drinking at athletic events, say-
ing the suites and club-level seating
were not part of the seating bowl.
They did so because they were
afraid they wouldn't sell all the
suites otherwise.

Some schools, like Northwestern
University, provide free alcohol to
donors and boosters.
But Joe Parker, the University of
Michigan's senior associate athletic
director for development, said the
Athletic Department has no inten-
tion of changing the rules for the
richest few fans.
"We're confident that people will
appreciate the Michigan football
experience in a club area or suite
without the benefit of alcohol ser-
vice" he said.
Although the Athletic Depart-
ment hasn't started to solicit poten-
tial buyers because the renovation
plan has not yet been finalized, a
number of individuals and busi-
nesses have called to express inter-
est, Parker said.
Parker said the no-alcohol policy
has not deterred buyers.
"We've let them know that there
will be no alcohol, and it hasn't dis-
couraged anyone from saying that
they'd like to follow through and
buy a suite;' Parker said. "The tradi-
tion at Michigan has been pre-game
tailgating, and we think that will
remain the tradition."
University President Mary Sue

Coleman has said she opposes the
sale of alcohol at University sport-
ing events and doesn't care whether
other schools have decided to sell
alcohol.
"I've thought about this for a long
time,' Coleman said. "Just because
other institutions do something or
don't do it has no influence on me."
Before coming to the University,
Coleman took a similar stance on
alcohol as president of the Universi-
ty of Iowa. During her tenure there,
alcohol was not available at athletic
events.
But after Coleman left for Ann
Arbor in 2002, Iowa's Athletic
Department changed the policy.
When Iowa's Kinnick Stadium
openend its suites and club seating
this fall, the fans in premium seat-
ing areas could buy alcohol for the
first time.
Although Coleman remains a
vocal opponent of alcohol at Univer-
sity sporting events, critics fear the
Athletic Department could reverse
its stance once she leaves.
The Board of Regents recently
granted Coleman a five-year exten-
sion on her contract. It now ends in
August 2012.

DEBATE
Continued from page 1A
Wall was seemed less composed
than his opponent but communicat-
ed his strong affect for Ann Arbor.
"I love the restaurants in Ann
Arbor;' Wall said. "As you can tell,
I'm a little overweight. I've got to
stop."
Hiefjte cited accomplishments
under his watch. He added that he
plans to continue this productive
streak should he be re-elected.
"I want to continue working on
the green energy challenge, to cut
down air pollution and greenhouse
gases' "he said.
Wall explained his dislike of
politicians and said he wants to be a
mayor of the people.
Hieftje responded by saying that
his administration eschews typical

political posturing.
"This is an open and transparent
government;" he said. "I am one of
the most accessible mayors."
The mayoral debate was preced-
ed by a City Council Ward 3 debate
between Democratic candidate Ste-
phen Kunselman and Green Party
candidate Peter Schermerhorn.
Kunselman said he stands out from
other candidates because he is the
only one who openly opposes the
Allen Creek Greenway.
Schermerhorn calls himself an
"innovative, out-of-the-box, thinker
and doer."
He said redefining affordable
housing would increase diversity in
the city of Ann Arbor.
The debates were held in a near-
empty Community Television Stu-
dios room. The questions posed to
the candidates were mainly focused
on the business climate in Ann

Arbor, the homeland security funds
received by the city and the state of
the Allen Creek Greenway. Candi-
dates touched only briefly on issues
directly concerning the University.
After the debates, all the can-
didates quickly shuffled out of the
building - except Wall.
Wall described a "super mayor"
costume he intends to wear in front
of the Michigan Union to make stu-
dents aware of his candidacy.
"I'll be singing a special song and
handing out candy,there will be Lit-
tle League cheerleaders with me and
also a three-piece band;" he said.
Wall compared himself to Robin
Williams, who stars in "Man of the
Year;" a movie about a presidential
candidate who isn't quite as serious
as most.
"I like fun stuff;" he said. "I do
more silly things than Robin Wil-
liams can even come up with."

KELLER
Continued from page 1A
wants its accomplishments broad-
cast and its embarassments stifled.
"Government officials want it
both ways;' he said. "They want
us to protect their secrets and they
want us to trumpet their successes."
Keller said he held the article
about the eavesdropping program
for more than a year after the 2004
presidential election upon the urg-
ing of the White House.
"When we exercise restraint, few
people are aware," he said.
President Bush urged Keller in a
private meeting in the Oval Office
to not publish the report. Bush told
him the responsibility for the next
terrorist attack would lie with The
New York Times.
Some speculate that if they had
rushed that information into print
before the 2004 elections, the out-
come might have been different.
Keller said he doubts that.
One of Keller's greatest critics
may be Bush himself, who called
the Times's decision to print the
story "disgraceful." Vice President
Dick Cheney referred to it as "dis-
turbing."
But criticism comes from the left
as well, which was highlighted dur-

ing the question-and-answer session
following the lecture.
One speaker - a staff mem-
ber of the World Socialist Website
- berated Keller for "suppressing"
information from an epidemiologi-
cal study by Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity that estimated the death count
in Iraq at 600,000 people.
Another speaker, Barry Gray,
the website's editor, accused Keller
of misleading the American public
about the pretenses for the Iraq war.
Keller denied that the Times sup-
pressed information regarding the
death toll in Iraq.
"If by suppression you mean pub-
lishing a story that must have been
about a thousand words in the news-
paper, than you have a very different
definition of suppression than I've
ever heard;' Keller replied.
Keller admitted that the Ameri-
can media's coverage leading up to
Iraq was imperfect and overly cred-
ulous. But he also said newspapers
have the advantage of being able to
correct errors and improve coverage
with each new paper.
"There is no magic formula;'
Keller said. "We make our best con-
siderate judgment."
Keller has also experienced strife
outside of the newsroom.
He traveled to Iraq this May and
experienced firsthand the dangers

of reporting from post-invasion
Baghdad.
"Baghdad is an unnerving city,
where every traffic jam seems like
a death trap and every conversation
seems to turn to contemplations of
danger," he said.
Keller's trip included a visit with
the widow and three small children
of an Iraqi Times journalist from
Basra who was recently murdered.
"Although we record what we see
whether it's pleasing or not, we are
not indifferent," Keller said.
He told the story of Fakher Haid-
er, a stringer for the Times who in
2005 was dragged from his home
by men in police uniforms and
executed.
"(It was) almost certainly for his
reporting on the corruption in the
police force'" he said.
Keller said what affected him
most about his trip was talking
with some of the 80 members of
the Iraqi staff still working for the
Times.
Most are stringers - Iraqi cor-
respondents who work around
the country in areas deemed too
dangerous for Westerners. Other
employees include security, transla-
tors and support staff.
"They take their lives in their
hands when they come to work," he
said.
