The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com BEER From page 1 ily pragmatic," Bebow said. "I don'tbelieve alo-centincrease would deter that many stu- dents from purchasing a can of beer." Some local beer vendors are not convinced. Joey Zeer, owner of In and Out Food Store, said his cus- tomers are sensitive to the price of beer. "If the price of beer increas- es for any reason, customers around here aren't going to want to purchase it because they're on a budget," he said. "I get a lot of students who come in and ask for the cheap- est beer I sell. It all has the same effect." LSA senior Stuart Wag- ner, who said he buys most of the alcohol for his house, said a hike in the beer tax could change his shopping habits. "Ifthepricechangesenough on the massive amount of beer that I buy, I'll just buy more hard liquor instead," he said. Wagner said he thought increasing the tax on tobacco would reap more benefits. "Cigarettes are more addic- tive than alcohol," Wagner said. "People still buy them even though they are already taxed so much." Bebow said an increase in the beer tax would be fair because consumers aren't forced to pay it. "Students can control how much beer they drink," he said. "Would you rather have the state increase the taxes on your house, the taxes on the things you buy or the tax on beer," he asked. Gov. Jennifer Granholm has not said whether a higher beer tax is part of her plan to balance the state budget. Gra- nholmspokeswoman LizBoyd said yesterday that Granholm would discuss her financial plans in her State of the State address next month. Bebow said the state should also consider consolidating school districts and cutting spending on state prisons. RAPOPORT From page 1 port said. While at the University, Anatol Rapoport also helped organizetheUniversity'snow- defunct Center for Research on Conflict Resolution. "He. was very happy at the U of M," Anthony said. "He enjoyed his experiences there and his colleagues." After serving with the U.S. Air Force during World War II, Rapoport felt distressed that the U.S. immediately entered the Cold War with the then- Soviet Union, his son said. Singer said Rapoport's distaste for American policy could have stemmed from his childhood. He was born in tsarist Russia and spent part of his childhood in the Soviet Union under commu- nist rule. "He saw what the Stalin guys were doingto Russia and the Russian people," Singer said. Singer speculated that he nayhave seenthe same things happeningin America. Anthony Rapoport said his father was alarmed about the possibility of nuclear war and worried that American poli- tics had grown to depend on war. In 1970, he moved his fam- ily to Canada to pursue a position as a professor of psy- chology and mathematics at the University of Toronto. "My parents both felt that they didn't want to keep the family in the United States," Anthony Rapoport said. Anatol Rapoport was the first professor of peace and conflict studies at the Univer- sity of Toronto. "He was a serious loss because we needed him at Michigan," Singer said. "And ina sense, we drove him out." During his lifetime, Rapo- port integrated the fields of psychology and mathematics with his interest in conflict resolution. He did extensive work in game theory, believing that "the idea of a game was a civi- lized way of engaging a rival without a fight," Singer said. Anthony Rapoport said his father came up with the idea of war as a global institution. "The sides that are oppos- ing one another are actually working together," he said. "The result is that humanity is threatened and dominated Friday, January 26, 2007 - 7 by wars." Singer said contemporary professors have grown to spe- cialize in one specific area, while Rapoport straddled the lines between mathematics, biology and the social sci- ences. "I considered him a fully authentic person," Singer said of his former colleague. "He was not in showbiz. The academic world is much the poorer for the disappearance of men like Rapoport." Rapoport is survived by his wife Gwen, his children Anya, Alexander and Anthony, and his two grandchildren, Leo and Erin. Ascholarshipfundhasbeen established in his name at the Trudeau Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the Univer- sity of Toronto. TUITION From page 1 probation in hopes that the inhabitants would change their behavior. It didn't seem to work. The ICC began to discuss plans to renovate the co-op last November and decided to turn the house into a co-op for graduate students at its board meeting on Jan. 14. Although he acknowledged that the co-op still needs improvement, Thompson said he has done his part to reno- vate the house and improve its reputation. Thompson said he helped get rid of the squatters, drug users and other undesir- able residents. "My focus was to keep order and get ready for the changes next year," he said. The house is being convert- ed into a co-op for graduate students because they are an untapped market for the ICC, Jones said. There are other co- ops for graduate students, but they are all on North Campus. The change is being made in order to "attract people who won't drag down the house," said LSA junior Ben Peters, a Jones House resident. The ICC will spend $110,000 on the renovation, which will include remodeled bathrooms and new carpet and flooring. Most of the bed- rooms will be converted from doubles to singles, Jones said. After the changes, the house will hold 35 people. The ICC will pay for the renovations with loans and refinancing, Jones said. It will also be given a new name, which could help it shed its current reputation, he said. The ICC is considering "Benjamin Franklin House," "Jenkins House" and "Shiva House,"said Michelle O'Brien, a marketing intern for ICC. The moat popular name that has been discussed was "bell hooks House," named after feminist theorist and author bell hooks, O'Brien said. While the renovated house will hold primarily gradu- ate students, one third of the building will be reserved for undergraduates Current Jones House resi- dents will also have seniority when applying for placement in other co-ops around cam- pus. Although his lease expires April 3, Thompson said he wants- to stay in the house after the renovation. "I'd love to live here in the fall, but I'll have to see how things go," Thompson said. Nick Streicher contributed to this report Groups head to capital for war protest By JEFF ZELENY and CARL HULSE The New York Times WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of demonstrators are set to arrive in the capital this weekend for a major anti- war march, staging the first of several protests intended to persuade the new Demo- cratic-controlled Congress to do more than simply speak against President Bush's Iraq policy. Do not look for senators to be standing among the pro- testers on the Mall tomorrow. Despite a consensus building around a Senate resolution to oppose sending more troops to Iraq, even the most liberal Democratic senators do not appear eager to align them- selves with a traditional anti- war protest. So the groups organizing the demonstrations against the president's strategy are also carrying out a sophisticated, well-financed lobbying cam- paign on Capitol Hill. Their behind-the-scenes efforts are intensifying, relying on tactics usually deployed in a cutthroat political race. Americans Against Esca- lation in Iraq, a coalition of labor unions, Moveon.org and other groups that have traditionally rallied against wars, has raised $L5 million since it was formed two weeks ago. The group is singling out Republicans and Democrats who have spoken out against the war, but who have so far declined to pledge support for a resolution denouncing the plan to increase the number of troops. Next week, the group intends to fly Iraq veterans to the home states of Republican senators who serve on the For- eign Relations Committee and voted on Wednesday agdinst the resolution condemningthe administration plan, including Sens. Norm Coleman of Min- nesota and John E. Sununu of New Hampshire. Television advertisements are sched- uled to be shown in some of the same states in an effort to apply pressure before the Sen- ate vote on the resolution in early February. "The face of antiwar is not what it was in the '70s," said Jon Soltz, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan who is chairman of a group called VoteVets. If members of Congress are slowly finding their voice opposing the admin- istration's Iraq plan, aides to lawmakers say, it is in no small part because of the face-to-face lobbying cam- paign that is a central piece of the strategy employed by Americans Against Esca- lation in Iraq. The group plans to spend up to $9 mil- lion, said its spokesman, Brad Woodhouse, which they expect to raise through Internet solicitations and individual donations. Soltz and nearly a dozen other veterans have been walking the halls of Congress, and they have had no problems getting appointments. One day last week, they held back- to-back meetings with Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, both of whom are running for president in 2008. "This battle to oppose the escalation is as important as the original battle in Iraq," said Jonathan Powers, who served 14 months in Iraq as a captain with the lst Armored Division. He laced up his com- bat boots and put on a blue suit as he went to Congress on a recent day of lobbying. JOIN THE DAILY. COME TO OUR MASS MEETING AT 413 E. HURON AT 7:30 P.M.
