The Michigan Daily - michiga EX-TERRORISTS From page 1 have killed 223 people by the time he was 17, when he con- verted to Christianity. University spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said in written statement that the administration acknowledged the American-Arab Anti-Dis- crimination Committee's con- cerns. "Both the (American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Com- mittee ) and the University agreed on the importance of the free expression of ideas in an academic community," Cunningham said. Anani said he cooperated with law enforcement author- ities in Canada to secure asy- lum, but in an interview he downplayed the degree to which he participated in ter- rorist activities. "I was in battlefields, not stopping people on streets like FLU From page 1 So far 1,152 students liv- ing in the residence halls are participating in the study, said Rebecca Coulborn, the study's recruitment coordinator. Coulborn said she is still hoping to reach the original goal of 2,250 students. "That kind of sample size will allow for a more accurate study and give us the confi- dence to reject any specula- tion of chance," she said. Control groups will be studied in East Quad and Stockwell residence halls. The two dorms have a 70 per- cent participation rate among residents. ndaily.com they do now," he said. "Today, when you think of a terrorist, you think of a suicide bomber. In my time, suicide meant you're outnumbered and you go out and fight and die." Hamad questioned Anani's claims. "Where is the FBI? Where is the (Immigration and Natu- ralization Service) to strip his citizenship, as they did with so many others with so fewer allegations?" he asked. In response to the allega- tions that Ananiis not a former terrorist, YAF Vice President Ryan Fantuzzi said, "(The allegation) sounds absurd to me. I know nothing about it. Why would someone be mak- ing death threats against him if he wasn't a terrorist?" After a speech in Wind- sor last week, Anani reported receiving death threats and having his car vandalized. "That's the story of my life. When they will take me out, they will take me out," he said. He is now an advocate against what he calls "the violent doctrines of Islam," which he says are followed by "radical, orthodox Muslims." When asked if those radical clerics who advocate violence have an incorrect interpre- tation of Islam, Anani said, "Unfortunately, no." Anani cited an incident in Ottawa during which he said a Jewish girl stood up and defended the Quran at one of his speeches. "I asked her if she had ever read it and she said no," Anani said. "I told her, 'I'll give you a hundred dollars for every peace sentence in the Quran, and you give me five dollars for every hate sentence. You'll pay me a fortune'" That's the sort of message that students like Kamelya Youssef, co-founder of a new University student group called the Arab Unity Move- ment, oppose. "It's not correct," she said. "They're giving terrorism a religion. Terrorism is a con- cept, you can't put a face or a .religion on it." Youssef is part of a coali- tion of student groups plan- ning a walkout during the event. "We all agreed that this event won't improve the cam- pus climate with regard to Arab and Muslim students," she said. The protesters are planning their own alternative event to take place after the walkout. Both sides of the issue claim to have the same purpose - to teach people. "We're here to educate," said Keith Davies, director of the Walid Shoebat Founda- tion, a small Christian Zionist organization that promotes the three speakers and their message. "It's not about hate," Davies said. "We love Muslims, we love Hindus, we love every- body. It's the ideology we oppose." The protesters and the American-Arab Anti-Dis- crimination Committee said they respect the speakers' First Amendment rights. "The point is not to censor," Hamad said. Another member of the Arab Unity Movement, Sirene Abou-Chakra, was also plan- ning to walk out of the event. "We obviously promote freedom of speech," she said. "But we feel that this event is very inflammatory." Fantuzzi said he wasn't worried about the protesters. "As long as everyone fol- lows the rules, and no one vio- lates our freedom of speech ... we'll be fine," he said. Hamad said he hopes people won't listen to the speakers. "They have nothing to say except to spread hatred, divi- sion, animosity and hostility against Islam," he said. "This is a show. They are acting."' MAP From page 1 they aim to modify LSA's race and ethnicity requirement and improve study abroad programs while expanding Entr6e Plus to off-campus locations - something stu- dent government candidates have been promising for years. Both candidates refused to give more details of their platforms until closer to the election. All four candidates said they want to lower textbook prices and plan on working closely with the Ann Arbor Police Department to reduce the number of minor-in-pos- session citations given to stu- dents. LSA sophomore Mari- cruz Lopez will run for MSA president with the Defend Tuesday, January 30, 2007 - 7 Affirmative Action Party. The party hasn't decided on a vice presidential candi- date. It was widely expected that Eric Li, a MAP member and chair of the MSA Budget Prig. orities Committee, and MSA Rep. Kenneth Baker woul4 seek the MSA presidency as independents, but both said yesterday they would not run for the position. Li said he is pleased with the nominations. "We came together as a communal voice and nomis' nated the best," he said. "The- candidates are maximallf qualified." MAP is an offshoot of the.: once-dominant Students 4 Michigan party, which hand- ily won the last two MSA presidential elections. Yost Li, Dar and Madoff are ali former members of S4M. Why the high interest? It's all about the Hamiltons. Students from the two halls receive $40 for answering a short survey every week. If participants develop flu symp- toms during the survey, they will be tested at UHS and paid an additional $25 if the throat culture is positive. Residents of Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry, Couzens and Alice Lloyd will earn $100 for wearing the facemasks around their residence halls. Students in Bursley Hall will earn the same for using a hand sanitizer daily in addition to the facemasks. While most students interviewed admitted that they were simply "in it for the cash," whether or not they would actually wear the masks was questionable. LSA freshman Alex Nish, a Bursley resident participating in the study, said she didn't plan to wear the mask. "It's claustrophobic and embarrassing," she said. "I'm not performing surgery and I don't have SARS." LSAfreshmanLeslieDemers had similar concerns but said she would wear the mask. "I think a lot of people, like myselfareself-consciousabout wearing them," Demers said. Nish and Demers both said that they will respond truth- fully in their weekly surveys. "We want them to be hon- est so that we can capture the information accurately," Coulborn said. Researchers plan to com- pare the results of those who wore the masks to those who didn'tby using statistical anal- ysis software, Coulborn said. "We know that they are proven to kill bacteria, but we hypothesize that the combi- nation of masks and sanitiz- ers will be effective," said Ana Vaz, a graduate student in the School of Public Health and member of the M-FLU recruitment team. Whether or not the team will get 1,098 more students to participate may depend on the encouragement of resi- dent advisors and friends. "My RA is involved and convinced a lot of my friends and me to do it together," Engineering freshman Chris- topher Callahan said. "It defi- nitely makes the experience. more comfortable." While many Bursley resi- dents wore masks yesterday, Couzens resident and LSA sophomore Jeff Bartels found himself alone. Despite his solitude, he said he keeps an upbeat attitude among a sea of mask-less faces. "I'm always smiling under here," he said, while pointing to the mask and laughing. "You justhave tobe comfortable and confident around people." As of now, students are only required to wear the masks in the residence halls. "That's all right," Bartels joked upon hearing the news. "I get an extra $25 if I actually do catch the flu." PFIZER From page 1 the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth has made a $1 million com- mitment to assist dislocated workers. "We will not stop until we've kept these workers," G,ranholm said. Two sub-teams, working together as the Community Team, will focus on municipal impact and quality of life in the city. CityCouncilmember Joan Lowenstein (D-Ward 2) and Jim Kosteva, the University's director of community rela- tions,will each head one group. The Business Attraction Team, headed by Eastern Michigan University's Busi- ness Dean David Mielke, will identify uses for excess equip- ment, form a plan to make the complexattractivetoprospec- tive lessees and offer support for start-up companies and business accelerator services. The team will collaborate with the Business Develop- ment Team, headed by the University's Vice President of Research Stephen Forrest and Rich Sheridan of Menlo Innovations, an Ann Arbor. software firm. The Policy and Funding team will address legislative issues surrounding potential business developments. It will be co-chaired by Rick Snyder, Ann Arbor SPARK chairman' and Phil Power, a former Uni versity Regent. The Policy Team will also establish a network for shar- ing information between community leaders, business- es and employees. The final group is the Site Team, headed by Ann Arbor City Administrator Roger Fraser. The team will tackle the development possibilities for Pfizer's vacated property on Plymouth Road. Finney said he has received a lot of interest in the Pfizer property, including from alternative energy compa- nies, pharmaceutical corpora- tions, and biotech companies. Although the group doesn't have a preferred solutiot, Finney said he would pre- fer an innovative technology company. THOMAS E.

Email zeinshamma@aol.com eor Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007 ARIES (March 21to April 19) Focus on family members today, espe- cially parents. Confine real estate deals to the earlier part of the day. You might enjoy time alone at home. TAURUS (April 20to May 20) You might talk to relatives, especially siblings, today. You feel nurturing toward someone, or perhaps someone feels this way toward you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Financial matters concern you today. If you're making important deals or buying anything expensive, try to do this in the morning or early after- noon. CANCER (June 21to July 22) The Moon is in your sign today, and this makes you more emotional than usual. However, it can also attract an extra little bit of good luck your way! (This is always good.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You'll enjoy time spent alone today. You need some privacy to pull your act together so that you can take it on the road. Don't push the river. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A female friend might be particularly sympathetic and comforting to you today. (Quite possibly, you will play this role for someone else.) People feet gen- tle and maternal today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will likely do something to get the attention of bosses, parents and VIPs today. Certainly, you are noticed! This is a playful time for you - enjoy yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Try to do something different today. You're hungry for adventure; plus you want to learn something new. Go some- place you've never been before. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 221t Dec. 21) This is a good day to look at red-tape matters connected with insurance, bills, inheritances, taxes and estates. However, don't make any important decisions later in the afternoon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you'll have to go more than halfway when dealing with partners and close friends. This is no big deal. Keep your bridges open. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You have an urge to take care of little details today, because you want to increase your efficiency and effective- ness in everything you do. Try to do as much as possible as early in the day as possible. (Things go sideways by late afternoon.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your creative vibes are hot today. Enjoy playful times with children or explore the arts. Romance is also favored. YOU BORN TODAY You have high ideals and are often active for a particu- lar social cause. You want to make a dif- ference in the world. You'll succeed in doing this in large measure because you're intelligent and organized. You get things done! You're an excellent com- municator. Work hard to build or con- struct something this year. Your rewards will soon follow. Birthdate of: Vanessa Redgrave, actress; Wilmer Valerrama, actor; Gene Hackman, actor. DON'T MISS OUT!
