The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 7 Kucinich pushes higher ed. 'U': Big House still a possibility plan before campus crowd COMMENCEMENT From Page 1 JOIN THE DAILY. COME TO ONE OF OUR MASS MEETINGS AND FIND OUT HOW * Tonight " Thursday, Jan. 17 * Sunday, Jan. 27 7 p.m. at 420 Maynard St. 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 the michigan daily AAAHH!!! START WITH an unbe- 6 BDRM HOUSE. 7 minute walk to lievable 2 bdrm. bi-level with 1.5 campus. Updated '05.
