text, and opened up a rich array of
possible ways, both intellectually
and emotionally, to understand it,"
Brooks said in an e-mail interview.
After the discussion, Wiesel
explained his interpretation of
the story - something the crowd
seemed to be waiting for.
"Stories have implications and
applications to all times, including
our own," Wiesel said.
He spoke at length about his
experiences during the Holocaust,
weaving in references to Job's story.
"We never believed it would
happen," he said. "But no matter
what, one cannot give up hope. If
Job could do it, we shall do it."
Before concluding the address,
Wiesel broadened the focus of his
lecture to include topics like friend-
ship and God. He said that while
one can live without love, one can't
live without a friend. He also invit-
ed the audience to ask themselves
what exactly friendship means.
Wiesel explained the necessity
of helping fellow human beings in
times of peril.
"Whenever a community suf-
fers, Iam involved," he said.
Before his address, Wiesel,
removed from the crowds perus-
ing the books on display for the fair,
talked with a group of University
students in the basement library of
the community center.
Students enjoyed seeing Wie-
sel in an intimate setting, asking ARRINGTON
questions that touched on topics From page IA
such as racism and the Holocaust.
One audience member even asked
about Wiesel's opinion of the "Soup want to.

Moments later, an attorney dis-

pagers are not permitted to be on in

After the hearing, Arrington, his
girlfriend and Easthope met briefly
in the courthouse's parking lot.
Arrington left in the passenger seat

Arrington has already faced
punishment from Michigan foot-
ball coach Lloyd Carr. Carr sat
the wide receiver for the first five
offensive plays of Saturday's game
against Northwestern. The coach
has not ruled out further disciplin-
ary action relating to the matter.
Arrington has 26 catches for 371
yards and five touchdowns on the
season. He has been given a larger
role since Mario Mannigham's
injury in early October.

"It's kind of like how you would
expect tinsel on a Christmas tree,"
Cotera said.
The evening's theme, "the basic
humanity of the immigrant," added
a new significance to some pieces
of the altar, Marroquin said. For
instance, the water bottles could be
read: "Give me your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses yearn-
ing to breathe free."
Immigration is both a timely
and a timeless issue, Cotera said.
We should be aware that we are a
nation founded on immigration,
she said, turning toward the por-
traits posted on the altar.
"It's designed to break apart the
notion of 'one' immigrant," she
said. "You could include photos of
Nana Zummault if you wanted."
The featured film - "Las Ofren-
das: The Day of The Dead" by
Chicana documentary filmmaker
Lourdes Portillo - expanded on
that idea. It addressed the holiday's
importance in maintaining immi-
grant identity through an explora-
tion of San Francisco's celebrations.
Migration, it suggested, is as much
a separation from one's ancestry as
death.
The holiday's healing potential
drew many students.
LSA sophomore Jasmine San-
tana came both to learn and to
commemorate her mother's recent
passing. Today, she said, she plans
to add photographs and pieces of
cake, her mother's favorite food.
"This is a celebration," she said.
"I'd rather be happy than sad."
Others, like Spanish 101 students
Robert Newman and Chris Ham-
burg, came mostly for curiosity's
sake, but not without a hint of self-
interest.
"We wanted to learn," Newman
said, "but it's also going to be on our
test tomorrow."

ken critic of race-

e Michigan Civil
i
Rights Initiative, spoke passionate-
ly in favor of Proposal 2.
Dominating the forum with his
booming voice and crisp rhetoric,
Cohen cast the debate over affirma-
tive action in stark, moral terms.
"Look, racial discrimination is
wrong," Cohen said. "You don't
need a professor of philosophy to
come and tell you that."
Cohen acknowledged that the
other panelists who supported
affirmative action policies had hon-
orable intentions but maintained
that awarding race-based prefer-
ences is a moral issue.
"I know that preferences are
often defended with honorable
objectives and good motives - but
honorable objectives and good
motives do not make wrong actions
right," Cohen said.
University General Counsel
Marvin Krislov, who helped defend
the University in the 2003 Supreme
Court cases challenging the use of
affirmative action inthe admissions
process, said he has been debating
Cohen on this issue for eight years.
He warned that if Proposal 2
passes, several University pro-
grams, including Women in Sci-
ence and Engineering and minority
outreach programs, would likely be
eliminated, as they were in Califor-
nia after Proposition 209 banned
similar programs in 1996.
Law School Prof. Douglass Kahn
helped authorthe Law School's affir-
mative action policy 42 years ago.
He said that at the time he was
a strong supporter of racial pref-
erences, but he believed that they
would only be around for five to
eight years. Now, Kahn said, racial
preferences no longer offer the ben-
efit they once did and have a nega-
tive effect on society.
Kahn, like many of the other
panelists at the forum, was not able
to expand on his argument because
event organizers only allotted him
a brief amount of speakingtime.
Organizers said the event was
supposed to be an intellectual dis-
cussion and not a political debate.
Panelists were allotted eightminutes
to discuss their points, which made
it difficult for them to develop their
arguments fully forthe audience.
The forum was introduced by
politicalscience Prof.ScottPage, who
co-authored a nonpartisan guide to
the proposal earlierthis fall.
In his introduction, Page framed
Proposal 2 as a struggle between
collectivist and individualist
approaches to governing society.
"What is interesting intellectu-
ally about this issue," Page said,
"is that this issue forces us to come
to grips with our deepest feelings
about how we think about society."
