spokesman for Crowley, said Crow-
ley is optimistic that the bill will
pass.
"Congressman Crowley feels it's
something that needs to be fixed,"
Mahajan said. "The (Bush) admin-
istration has had a chance to do so
and simply didn't. Now it's Con-
gress's job to take that role so that
birth control is affordable for stu-
dents and affordable throughout
the country."
Adam Benson, a spokesman for
U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Dear-
born), whose district includes Ann
Arbor, said Dingell is "carefully
monitoring the situation and look-
ing for opportunities to fix the
many damaging provisions of the
DRA."
The American College Health
Association is one of the most
active groups lobbying Congress to
change the language of the Deficit
Reduction Act.
"What we're talking about ulti-
mately I think is helping young
men and women stay healthy, stay
well and complete their academic
goals without having to deal with
an unintended pregnancy," said
Mary Hoban, the director of the
ACHA's National College Health
Assessment Program Office. "It's
not just about women. It's mainly
about women, but it's not just about
women."
For now, student groups, health
centers and women are looking
for ways to get around the price
increase.
The health center at Bowdoin
College in Maine has suggested to
women that they share the finan-
cial burden of birth control with
their boyfriends.
"Right now the health center
is telling people that if you are in
a relationship with a significant
other you should really think about
splitting the cost of the birth con-
trol," said Cassia Roth, a former
co-chair of the Bowdoin Women's
Association.
College health centers are strug-
gling to find creative ways to pro-

vide their students with affordable
birth control.
The University of Michigan's
health service, for example, spent
over $50,000 dollars last year
stockpiling certain forms of con-
traceptives like Ortho Tri-Cyclen
Lo before the price increase took
effect, officials said.
Dr. Robert Winfield, director
of University Health Service, said
UHS will continue to offer Ortho
Tri-Cyclen Lo, as well as the other
drugs it has stockpiled, at a lower
price until the supply runs out -
which officials say will happen no
later than April. At that point, pric-
es will rise if changes aren't made
to the law.
Right now, UHS sells two of the
mostcommonlyused drugs- Ortho
Tri-Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen
Lo - at $23.80 for one cycle.
One cycle of birth control drugs
lasts roughly a month.
Women who use birth control
drugs that UHS didn't stockpile are
already dealing with higher prices.
They're either choosing to pay the
higher cost or are switching to less
expensive, generic forms of birth
control, Winfield said.
"The fact is we do have plenty
of contraceptives that are in the
generic category that are in the low
$20 range," he said. UHS offers 16
different birth control drugs that
cost less than $20 for one cycle.
Dr. Susan Ernst, chief of the
Gynecology Clinic at UHS, said
that while there are many forms of
generic pills that work well, switch-
ing 'birth control brands can have
other unintended consequences:
unpleasant side effects like nausea,
mood swings or irregular periods.
There is concern among medical
professionals that some women,
facing far higher costs, will choose
not to take birth control at all or
will switchto less reliable over-the-
counter methods like condoms.
"The fear is that there's a small
number of people where the price
of the pill is expensive enough
that they're forgoing contracep-
tion," Winfield said. But he said he
hasn't seen any cases of unwanted
pregnancy due to the higher cost of
birth control.

ment in the group.
Although Baker announced his
resignation to LSA Student Gov-
ernment President Keith Reis-
inger today, it will not become
official until Baker submits a let-
ter to LSA-SG. Baker said he will
attend the group's meeting next
week to submit his letter, explain
his actions and answer questions.
At its meeting Wednesday night,
LSA-SG voted in favor of holding
a trial to decide whether Baker
should remain on the assembly.
The trial could have resulted in his
removal from MSA. LSA-SG won't
cancel the trial until Baker's resig-
nation is official, Reisinger said.
Baker said he is resigning
because Hull personally asked him
to step down, not because of the
student government's decision to
PFIZER

to teach them what doctors did.
"To medicine, they're a kind of
Norman Rockwell," he said.
Parke-Davis & Co., the larg-
est pharmaceutical firm in the
country at the time, commis-
sioned the works between 1948
and 1964.
The roughly 85 paintings, of
which the University now owns
approximately half, consist of oil
paint on masonite and are as large
as 5 feet wide or tall.
The complete collection of
paintings, which consists of two
series - "Great Moments in Medi-
cine" and "Great Moments in
Pharmacy" - have what Metzl
described as "a kind of cult" fol-
lowing. The works the University
Health System were given come
from the "Great Moments in Med-
icine" series.
According to Steward, the col-
lection will need to be presented
with a certain amount of context
in part because the paintings

try him. LSA-SG has the power to
remove Baker from his position on
MSA because they appointed him
to the assembly to filla vacancy.
Reisinger said that because
LSA-SG voted to try Baker, he has
no rights as an MSA representative
until the trial, meaning he cannot
vote at next week's MSA meeting.
In his statement at Tuesday's
MSA meeting, Baker said he made
the Facebook group public in order
to preserve the assembly's honesty
to its constituents.
"They deserve to continue hear-
ing the truth about their govern-
ment and its leadership, regardless
of whether or not this government
wishes to hear it," Baker said.
He went on to ask whether the
assembly would choose honesty
to the student body over loyalty to
fellow representatives.
Baker said in an interview yes-
terday that the Facebook group
had two additional members at
show only white men in the medi-
cal profession.
"These works are so grounded
in the Eisenhower era that you
can't just put them up without
giving them context," he said.
"They show the white man's his-
tory of medicine in a way that
may be offensive to some peo-
ple."
But Steward was quick to
point out that the collection was
remarkably influential.
The collection came into Pfiz-
er's possession in 2000 when it
acquired Warner-Lambert, which
itself had acquired the paintings
when it took over Parke-Davis &
Co. in 1970. In the Warner-Lam-
bert merger, Pfizer also gained
ownership of its soon-to-be-
closed research facility in Ann
Arbor.
Steward said it was a kind ges-
ture on Pfizer's part to leave the
paintings with the University
even though many people within
the Ann Arbor community feel
conflicted about the company's
departure.
"It's a nice parting gift from a

one point but refused to reveal
their names. One of the members,
he said, is an "influential" member
of the assembly.
Baker denies that exposing the
Facebook group - which came
more than a year after he joined
the group and only a day before
MSA elections - was politically
motivated.
Baker didn't tell Hull that he
was planning on making the group
public until less than an hour
before the Tuesday meeting.
MSA Rep. Stella Binkevich
said that such issues should be
discussed in private, not in front
of the whole assembly at a public
meeting.
Binkevich said it was disap-
pointing that the situation played
out the way it did.
"Although it's unfortunate when
anyone on the assembly chooses
to resign, I respect his decision,"
Binkevich said.
company that had a prominent
place here," Steward said.
Speaking at the Detroit Eco-
nomic Club in 2006, Pfizer's for-
mer chairman and CEO Hank
McKinnell said he was optimis-
tic about the prospect of growth
in the state and in the Ann Arbor
area in particular.
Then Pfizer announced in
January of this year that it would
close its Ann Arbor research and
development facility by the end of
2008.
The facility employed 2,100
people.
University officials said at the
time that Pfizer, which had con-
tributed about $12 million of the
University's roughly $800 million
research budget, would not neces-
sarily cut off all research funding
when it left Ann Arbor.
In an interview yesterday,
Chambers wouldn't say whether
the company planned to continue
funding University research, but
said the plant closing would have
"no effect" on what has been a
"long and fruitful relationship
with the University."

Clinton
could face
trouble in
Michigan
LANSING (AP) -Atfirstglance,
Hillary Rodham Clinton should
easily win Michigan's Democratic
primary, since no other top candi-
dates are ontheballot.
Butoshe faces an unusual oppo-
nent: "Uncommitted."
LIf ng(ackefrsofthe an-e
didates who aren't on the ballot
- Barack Obama, John Edwards,
Bill Richardson, Joe Biden -
mark "Uncommitted" when they
vote Jan.15, it could take some of
the luster off what's otherwise a
certain Clinton victory.
"We will see if over the next
two or three weeks the people who
aren't on the ballot ... urge every-
one to vote 'Uncommitted:I think
that's an intriguingprospect," said
Democratic activist Bob Alexan-
der of East Lansing. "It would get
a lot ofnational attention."
Despite last-ditch legislative
efforts to put the four missing
Democrats back on the ballot,
it's now clear Clinton will be up
against only Dennis Kucinich,
Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel.
A poll conducted earlier this
month by Lansing-based EPIC-
MRA showed 49 percent of likely
Democratic voters back Clinton.
But 18 percent support Obama,
15 percent prefer Edwards and 12
percent are undecided, leaving a
potentially large pool of uncom-
mittedvoterswhocouldmuddythe
perceptionofa Clintonvictory.
Under Alexander's scenario,
backers of Obama, Edwards,
Richardson and Biden would get
some of the uncommitted slots
when Democrats hold district
conventions in late March to
choose 83 of their 156 national
convention delegates.

For Friday, Nov. 30, 2007
ARIES
(March 21to April 19)
Your plans with publishing, travel,
medicine or the law could be foiled
today. If you're trying to move some-
thing somewhere, or go somewhere, you
might be blocked.
TAtURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is a bad day for discussions about
shared property. It's also a poor day to
ask for a loan or do a mortgage deal. Too
many obstacles will arise.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Discussions with partners and close
friends are at loggerheads today. Wait till
another day to discuss anything impor-
tant. In fact, just be patient with others
today.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Take it easy at work today. Others are
not cooperative, especially bosses and
authority figures. In fact, people are eas-
ily critical. (Run away!)
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Parties, sporting events and social
plans might be dampened somewhat
today. The responsibilities of children
could be a burden. Go slowly, and don't
expect too much.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23to Sept. 22)
Parents and family responsibilities
have to be reckoned with today. There's
no getting around this. Just do what is
expected of you (You have no choice.)
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
It's easy to fal into a state of worry
today. Furthermore, you might feel dis-
couraged. Others are critical or just
being a wet blanket about your ideas.
(Let it go.)

SCORPIO
(0301 23 to Nov. 21)
This is not an ideal day for financial
transactions, business or commerce.
Someone or something will block what-
ever you're trying to do. Be patient.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22to Dec. 21)
It's easy to incur the wrath or the crit-
icisms of bosses, parents, teachers and
authority figures today. Don't let this get
to you. Everybody is experiencing this in
one way or another.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Don't be hard on yourself if youre
second-guessing yourself or full of self-
doubt today. These feelings come and
go. A lot of people feel like this today.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20to Feb. 18)
This is a poor day to lend people
money. Don't expect too much from oth-
ers, especially their support or assis-
tance. Quite likely, something will fall
through. And so it goes.
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
This is a poor day to ask bosses, par-
ents and authority figures for any kind of
favor or for permission for anything. The
answer will be, "Talk to the hand." Wait
for another day.
YOU BORN TODAY
You're witty, wise, observant and
courageous. You instinctively know
when to act and when to wait. You have
excellent timing. You work hard and
rarely waste your energy. Your humor is
subtle, and people love it. You dress
well. (But you do react to criticism!)
Your year ahead is full of fun, social
occasions. In particular, it promotes
warm relationships.
