KING FOR A SOLUTION ite years of campaign prom- form the requirement, stu- ernment members have yet a change. Lebowitz-Nowak, MSA i affairs commission chair, R&E requirement is an will work on this semester, a process that could take a ie. semester, he said he will r an MSA resolution for- g the assembly's support roject. After that, he plans rch what other top insti- do across the country and e their policies to the Uni- . He said he wants to use rmation to craft a Power- resentation to show Uni- administrators. witz-Nowak also encour- dents to voice their opin- ions. "The more student feedback we( LA VOZ have, the more we know it is impor- tant to students and we can bring it to the administration," he said. Meanwhile, LSA-SG is also work- ing on the issue. Nick Glauch, chair of the Race and Ethnicity Task Force, said LSA- SG has had problems addressing the requirement. "There are many ways in which people interpret the requirement itself," he said. "Some people think it should cover discrimination in general, some people think it should be just cultural studies, then there are some who don't think we should have it at all." These differing opinions have lead to arguments during LSA-SG meetings, Glauch said, citing a two- hour debate last year. This year, Glauch hopes to get past the difficulties. He said that starting this week, his commit- tee will begin surveying student groups at their meetings. He also plans to poll a random sample of students. Glauch said the survey is an important step toward understand- ing how students feel about the requirement. "This was something I ran into coming into the University," Glauch said. "I know it is something stu- dents feel differently about across the spectrum." Glauch said he will present the results to LSA-SG at the beginning of the upcoming fall semester. University officials are also plan- ning to discuss the requirement later in the term, Young said. "It is also important for our orga- nization to be as accepting as pos- sible of the variety of definitions of what it means to be 'Latino'," Ortiz said. This is not the first time the orga- nization has changed its name to broaden its appeal and bolster mem- bership. The Latino Students Orga- nization was originally called La Voz Mexicana. In the early 1990s, the group changed its name to La Voz Latinato include members who were not of Mexican descent, Ortiz said. Ruben Soto, a Business School junior and a member of the group, said that with the name La Voz Latina, people saw the group as more of a social club than an orga- nization that served the Latino community. Soto said he hopes the Latino Student Organization will have an image similar to groups like the Black Student Union. La Voz is changing more than just its name, he said. It's trying to change the group so that people do not attend activities just to meet with friends but also to help the Latino com- munity. Soto said he has noticed a decline in the Latino community on campus this year. Usually, at least 40 people participate in four- day program for incoming Latino students. This year there were only 20, Soto said. Soto said the number of par- ticipants in La Voz Latina have dropped off as well. DRUGS STUDY From page lA esty is not necessarily enforced. "We geta high level of truth-tell- ing for a host of reasons," he said. Johnston said confidentiality and administration of the survey by the researchers lead students to respond honestly. As evidence, he cited a high correspondence between teens own reported drug use and what they report as their friends' drug use. Johnston said Monitoring the Future paints a picture of drug use in the United States so that every- one from parents to drug policy makers can respond to it in the most effective way possible. "Initially, people way overes- timated the amount of drug use kids were involved in," he said, referring to the past tendencies of policymakers to look at an iso- lated sample of kids showing high drug use and apply it to the teen population at large. The survey results are announced each year at a press conference in Washington, D.C. High-rank- ing officials like Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the White House's drug czar often join John- ston at the podium Bill Clinton's response to the study resulted in one of the larg- est nationwide campaigns to reduce cigarette smoking in teens - a project funded by a $250 bil- lion legal settlement with tobacco companies. According to the 2006 Measur- ing the Future results, though, the decline in tobacco use by younger teens is nearing a halt. Johnston sees this as a sign that it's time for new initiatives, though he's not sure a campaign on the federal level will succeed in reducing teen drug use. "Many perceptions of the dan- gers of drug use come from the media picking up stories and spreading them," Johnston said. In addition to all of the "unfortu- nate role models" displayed nightly on the local news, there are also celebrities whose status may influ- ence teen lifestyle changes when they hit rock bottom, he said. FORD From page IA had an intimate knowledge of air- craft carriers - and even helped save one in the Pacific. Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) noted that during Ford's combat service aboard the aircraft carrier USS Monterey, he led a crew that bat- tled a fire sparked by planes shaken loose in a December 1944 typhoon. "Thirty years before Presi- dent Ford would right our ship of state, Lt. Ford helped save the Monterey and its men," Levin said. Sen. John Warner (R-Va.), who joined Levin in pushing for the carrier to bear Ford's name, recalled Ford's wise counsel as he was considering a career in politics. Warner served as Navy secretary while Ford was vice president. kRK TERRACE APTS DRUNK DRIVING DEFENSE. $500 FULL/PART-TIME LUNCH & dinner DON'T MISS OUT!
