Kucinich pushes higher ed. 'U': Big House still a possibility

KUCINICH
From Page 1
stands for a carbon-free and nucle-
ar-free energy policy," he said in a
press conference before the rally.
Kucinich reaffirmed his opposi-
tion to the North American Free
Trade Agreement, which removed
tariffs on goods traded between
the United States, Mexico and
Canada, yesterday, saying he'd
cancel the agreement if elected.
"I'm for canceling NAFTA,"
Kucinich said during the rally. "I
mean these trade agreements were
written so the corporations could
get cheap labor in another coun-
tries. So what happens? Manufac-
turers go where the cheap labor is.
That's what our trade agreements
are not about. They're not about
helping other people."
Kucinich also promoted his
higher education plan, which pro-
poses financing free tuition for
students at two- and four-year
public colleges if they work for the
government.
He took veiled shots at his run-
ning mates and their education
plans.
"If students go out there and
vote for me, they'll send a message:
start talking about education," he
said to the audience. "Tell us what
your plans are. Will you commit,
as I do, to saying that every young
person will be able to go to a pub-
lic two-or four-year college or uni-
versity tuition-free?"
LSA sophomore Yousef Rabhi,
chair of Students for Kucinich,
said the purpose of Kucinich's
visit was to introduce students to
a candidate with whom they might
not have been familiar.
One student, LSA freshman
Vanessa Guerra, fell into the cat-
egory. Initially a supporter of Sen.
Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Guerra
said she now has a tough decision
to make after hearing Kucinich
speak.
"Kucinich talks a lot about real
change and dramatic change,"
Guerra said. "I was more of an
Obama fan, but now I'm kind
of more in the middle between
Obama and Kucinich."
seats, giving each graduate eight
tickets to distribute, as in previ-
ous years. Pate said the University
considered locations like Crisler
Arena, Elbel Field, the Diag, Yost
Ice Arena and Eastern Michi-
gan's Rynearson Stadium. She
said University officials decided
that Eastern Michigan's Rynear-
son Stadium, which holds about
30,200 people and is 6.4 miles
away from Michigan Stadium, was
the best fit.
"Off-campus is not ideal for us
either," Pate said. "EMU met the
larger group's needs."
During the meeting, many stu-
dents voiced their frustration
that they were not included in the
decision-making process from the
beginning.
"You knew there was a problem
in the fall - why didn't you tell us
then?" one student said. "We could
have brainstormed together."
Royster Harper, the University's
vice president for student affairs,
apologized to students who felt
insulted by the decision.
"We won't give an excuse," she
said. "We're just really sorry."
During the forum, University
officials passed out 11 electronic
survey devices to gauge students'
priorities for commencement. The
survey asked students a range of
questions, including how willing
they would be to have five or fewer
guests at the ceremony and how
important it was to hold the cer-
emony on campus.
One question in the survey
asked how important a Big House
graduation would be for seniors.
Of the 130 students in the room, 95
percent responded by saying they
wanted Michigan Stadium.
Most students surveyed said
they didn't care about the stadi-
um's utilities being in working
order.
Originally, University officials
said that a lack of functioning util-
ities - including bathrooms and
running water - would prevent
Michigan Stadium from being able
to hold this spring's commence-
ment.
About half of the students pres-
ent said it was important that indi-
viduals with limited mobility have
access to wherever the commence-
ment is held. About a third of those
present said they would be willing
to host five or fewer guests, and a
majority said they wanted to be
seated together, rather than split
between venues.
LSA sophomore John Lin, one
of the few underclassmen at the
meeting, came because he wanted
to see if University officials would
listen to students. He said he
believed the forum made a differ-
ence.
"They seemed to have a genu-
ine interest in what we have to
say and a genuine desire to find an
adequate solution to the problem,"
Lin said.
Other students said the meeting
was less productive.
Kylene Yen, a senior in the Ross
School of Business, said most of the
meeting was spent complaining
about what had already happened
instead of what could be done.
"It was half an hour of explain-
ing and an hour-and-a-half of
angry, frustrated students saying
the same things," she said.
Harper said the University is
committed to working with stu-
dents to come to a decision about
commencement plans.
"We've got work to do and we're
going to do it," Harper said
