Mich. pastor runs for Congress from prison' Green Party hopeful was jailed for vote fraud in 2005 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - The Rev. Edward Pinkney's con- gressional campaign has many obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is that he's currently behind bars. Pinkney, who turns 60on Mon- day, is the Green Party candidate for Michigan's 6th Congressional District. Among his opponents is 55-year-old incumbent Fred Upton, a St. Joseph Republican who has occupied the seat since 1987. Besides battling for a spot in the U.S. House of Representa- tives, Pinkney also is fighting what he considers to be a corrupt legal system that has imprisoned an innocent man. Convicted of elec- tion fraud and other charges, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan and others are working to free him. "Life is tough here.

Fewer students - 112 - applied this fall for the 2009 grant cycle, Kehoe said. She said anytime the number of applications tops 100, though, it's a good showing for the University. Kehoe said the number of Uni- versity students applying for Ful- bright grants has doubled since she took her job five years ago. She credits the University's success to the caliber of University appli- cants, the support of University faculty and the individual consul- tations and reviews that the Inter- national Institute conducts with each applicant. In an interview last month, Kehoe said that in recent years international programs have seen a "groundswell of support," and credited the University's recent success in the Fulbright Program and the media-attention surround- ing the grants as part of the reason, for the University's high number of applicants and grant recipients. The Fulbright Program is the HOSPITAL From Page 1A for the University Health System, said an increase in patient demand and the need to keep up with. advancements in medical technol- ogy warrant the proposed increase in funding. "Since the project was approved, demand for patient care services has increased beyond expecta- tions," she said. If the expansion isn't approved, Hopson said, the hospital would operate near capacity, 264 beds, by the summer of 2011. If the extra $231 million in funds nitely not peaches and cream, that's for sure," he told The Associated Press during a recent telephone interview from the Ojibway Correctional Facility in the Upper Peninsula. The state prison is in Gogebic County's Marenisco Township, about 10 miles from the Wisconsin border and roughly 600 miles from the district he'd like to represent in Congress. Pinkney, a Benton Harbor resident and longtime commu- nity activist, was sentenced to five years of probation after a jury con- victed him in March 2007 of felony and misdemeanor fraud charges stemming from a successful recall election of a local official that he led in 2005. He was accused of pay- ing some people to vote absentee and of improperly handling valid absentee ballots. Then in June of this year, Pinkney was sent to prison for three to 10 years after being con- victed of violating his probation by writing something in a pro- gressive Chicago newspaper that a judge ruled as a threat to a fellow largest international exchange program in the country. Each year, the U.S. Department of State awards the grants for student research projects in more than 150 countries. Students apply in September for grants for the following year. Many of the winners announced today have already begun their research abroad. University students' proj- ects include teaching English to German high school students, studying the national health care system of Oman and studying the modern Finnish violin repertoire. Recent University alum Lara Finkbeiner, who is in Quito, Ecua- dor conducting a research project on Colombian refugees living in Ecuador, said she ws confident in her proposal but that waiting until the spring to find out if she won took a toll. "All I remember is tearing it open and seeing the acceptance letter and just being overwhelmed by how grateful, relieved, and grat- ified I felt," she said in an e-mail message shortly after getting her acceptance letter in the mail. "I worked so hard on the application and thanks to the support of my family and my great professors at U of M (who not only wrote me recommendations, but also helped me refine multiple drafts of my proposal) I was able to make my dream come true." To apply for the grant, students must submit a summary of their research plan and demonstrate that they are proficient in the lan- is approved, the additional con- struction will provide a total of 348 beds and delay the project 15 months, to a projected completion date of fall 2012. The proposal, sponsored by Rob- ert Kelch, executive vice president for medical affairs, and Timothy Slottow, executive vice president and chief financial officer at the University, wouldn't rely on public money, Hopson said. "Funding will be provided from the hospital's and health center's resources," Hopson said. A combination of University Health System reserve funding and $50 million in donations will pay for the additional $96 million in judge. Pinkney and his Detroit attorney, Hugh "Buck" Davis, say he was only paraphrasing some Bible verses from the book of Deu- teronomy. "As far as I know, Pinkney's the first preacher in the history of America to get locked up for quot- ing the Bible," Davis says. Davis is appealing the convic- tion and supporters have present- ed a clemency petition with several thousand signatures to Gov. Jenni- fer Granholm. Pinkney says he's being harassed for his outspoken oppo- sition to an upscale, 530-acre residential and commercial devel- opment called Harbor Shores. When completed in 2018, most of the $500 million project will lie in Benton Harbor, a mostly poor city of 11,000 people in south- western Michigan. Pinkney is upset that city lead- ers are allowing the developers to use 22 acres of a city park that borders Lake Michigan for three holes of a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course that is the heart of the project. guage of the country to which they plan to travel. Due to the record-high number of applicants last year, the Univer- sity did not offer an interview to undergraduate applicants because there were not enough faculty and staff to meet with each applicant. Last year was a temporary exception though, Kehoe said. Since adding more staff this year, the University has resumed offer- ing the interview option to all applicants, she said. InaninterviewWednesday,Pro- vost Teresa Sullivan said she was proud of the University's showing. "I'm really pleased that the fac- ulty have really rallied in large numbers to help get students ready for the Fulbright competition," she said. "It's terrific that we had so many who won, but even better we had so many who tried." Mark Tessler, director of the University's International Insti- tute, said in a written statement that the University was delighted with the grant winners. "The University of Michigan is committed to enriching our aca- demic programs by facilitating educational and research oppor- tunities overseas for our under- graduate and graduate students," he said. "We had a large number of students apply again this year and are delighted that so many of our students appreciate the value of study and research abroad." - Daily Staff Reporter Kyle Swanson contributed to this report. construction costs and $135 million worth of medical equipment under consideration for the existing proj- ect, Hopson said. Though the $754 million price tag on the new hospital is more than three times the cost of the $226 million football stadium renovation project, Hopson said it's difficult to draw comparisons between health center projects and other construction sites around campus. "Some of the greatest expenses is the actual medical equipment, and that sets us aside from some other projects," Hopson said. "It's not like we're building a baseball field." buy som invaluab] chase. (Y VIRG( (Aug. Others today. Y. about yo afraid to LIBRA (Sept.
