From Page 1
Energy and Commerce Committee
to Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.),
a strong environmentalist from a
wing of the Democratic Party that
has been frustrated by Dingell's
reluctance to support curbs on car-
bon emissions. That opposition to
restrictions on emissions has been
largely attributed to his steadfast
support for General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler.
Dingell supporters were dis-
pleased with the vote. Committee
chairs are rarely booted out and usu-
ally go to the most senior candidate.
"I think it was highly inappro-
priate," Rep. Rich Boucher (D-Va.)
told The Associated Press. "There
was no obvious reason for it, other
than the desire for another person
to chair the committee."
Michigan House Speaker Andy
Dillon (D-Redford Township) said
he was "extremely disappointed"
with Dingell's loss of the commit-
tee chairmanship.
"The congressman has been an
unwavering advocate for not only
the auto industry but also the state
of Michigan," Dillon said in an
interview.
Waxman released a statement on
Thursday saying he was "honored
by the vote."
"We are at a unique moment and
have an opportunity that comes
only once in a generation," he said.
"I will work with all parts of our
caucus and across the aisle to deliv-
er the change that the American
public expects us to deliver."
Waxman called Dingell a "leg-
islative giant" and said he respects
Dingell and his many legislative
accomplishments.
On Thursday afternoon, Demo-
cratic congressional leaders held a
press conference to discussplans for
a possible bailout for the automotive
industry. Congress has asked auto-
makers for a detailed plan by Dec.
2 that will show how federal money
will be used to make the companies
profitable. Lawmakers are expected
to meet in a special session to con-
sider the plans the following week.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
Congress would not release any
funds until plans from the automak-
ers were submitted and reviewed.
"Until they show us the plan,
we cannot show them the money,"
Pelosi said at a press conference
Thursday.
The White House offered little
reassurance to questions about
what would be done if Congress is
unable to reach an agreement soon.
"If the Congress doesn't act this
week and one of the companies is in
imminent danger of insolvency, we
would suspect that they would want
to come back and finish the work that
they didn'tget done this week,"White
House spokeswoman Dana Perino
said."Ican'timagine ascenario where
they wouldn't come back, unless the
answer is that they just don't care."
In an interview with the Detroit
Free Press, General Motors CEO
Rick Wagoner expressed his frus-
tration with the Congressional
delay.
"We had said we felt that given
all the uncertainties in the finan-
cial market, and weakness of sales
in the auto market, we felt that
urgent action was appropriate and
needed," Wagoner said.
Michael Flynn, research scien-
tist emeritus at the University's
Transportation Research Institu-
tion, said he thought a bailout plan
would have passed had auto execu-
tives not made a public relations

vote.
"With more competition, you'd
get higher turnout," he said.
He insisted, however, that the
assembly is in good hands when
MAP's candidates get elected. He
described the party's philosophy as
pragmatic and without any kind of
predominantideological disposition.
"We've tried to make it a party
that is accountable to students,
wants to get things done, and really
cares about the future of Michigan,"
he said.
Asked about the prospect of
another party emerging, Blouin
said he was "not certain at this time
that people are ready to step up for
mistake.
"I expect this would have passed
if they didn't fly to Washington in
their corporate jets," Flynn said.
"That's what torpedoed it."
The CEOs of GM, Ford and
Chrysler were criticized Wednes-
day for flying in separate private
jets to Washington for testimony
before congressional committees.
Flynn said Big Three executives
now need to present a persuasive
business plan to convince lawmak-
ers to shell out money.
"We'll be like the venture capi-
talists," he said.
Flynn said Dingell's loss would
also affect the auto industry's
future.
"In a sense, they've now lost a
friend," he said. "Waxman is much
more likely to hold their toes to the
fire."
Waxman, known for his focus
on environmental issues, waged a
silent campaign for the chairman-
ship. Many considered Pelosi, also
of California, a Waxman supporter
because of her decision not to back
Dingell. Pelosi and Dingell have
often clashed, while Pelosi and
Waxman more aggressive moves on
environmental protection.
that."
MAP has an if-you-can't-beat-
them-join-them philosophy about
opposition. "We don't look at people
who run againstus as wrong or bad,"
said Blouin. He pointed out that rep-
resentatives Alex Serwer, Andrew
Chinsky and Tim Bekkers had all
run against MAP at one point, and
ran with the party in this election.
Bekkers, an LSA senior, decided
to run as an independent for MSA in
the last election after resigning from
post as vice president of finance in
the Residence Halls Association. He
lost, butended up being appointedto
a vacant seat for part of this semes-
ter. MAP took notice of him, and
he joined forces with them for the
fall 2008 election. He said that the
party's organized effort has driven
him to be a better campaigner. "I'm

work pretty hard to get me to look
at the job."
"It's simply an opportunity for a
promotion and the next step in my
career," Groves said, adding that
he's appreciated his time at the
University of Michigan. "I've been
very happy here."
Groves, who would start his
new post in January if approved
today, would oversee Michigan
State's financial development,
alumni association and career
advancement services. Michigan
State concluded The Campaign for
MSU last year, a $1.4 billion fund-
raising campaignthat was publicly
launched in 2002.
Groves, who has held his posi-
tion at the University of Michigan
since 2004, directed the Michigan
Difference Campaign's day-to-day
operations.Despite tough econom-
ic times in the state, University
working alot harder," he said.
Bekkers was hesitant to play the
blame game with turnout.
"I think part of the problem is
apathy on campus," he said. "But we
can't just blame everyone else."
He said that MSA needs to work
towards making their activity less
"irrelevant."
"We need to be doing things our-
selves and making sure we're actu-
ally representing student interests
and not spending time on internal
things that affect only MSA, like
internal structuring," he said.
Among the hundreds of write-
in candidates in the election were
President-elect Barack Obama, for-
mer Michigan football Coach Lloyd
Carr and "MO' MONEY, MO' BIT-
CHEZ, MO' DAR," a reference to
the former MSA president.
officials have called the campaign
the most successful fundraising
campaign by a public university in
history.
Jerry May, vice president for
development at the University of
Michigan, spoke highly of Groves'
work for the campaign.
"I am extremely proud that he
has gotten this job, but sad that
he is leaving. We have been in an
intense campaign, and he has real-
ly pushed us forward," he said.
May said he was confident that
the University of Michigan's fund-
raisingstaff will remain strong.
"We have been bringing people
up through the system who aren't
as experienced," he said. "We have a
deep team of talented professionals."
The Michigan Difference cam-
paign, scheduled to end Dec. 31, has
helped fund185new professorships
and 22 new campus buildings. It
added more than $910 million to
the University's endowment and
almost 2,000 newscholarships.

From Page 1
ing," which means that most of
its revenues are already dedicated
to particular expenditures. Any-
thing left over is put into a general
fund that supports discretionary
programs, one of which is higher
education.
"When (the state's) revenues
get squeezed, like they definitely
are now, it has to turn to its gen-
eral fund to find ways to reduce its
spending," said Bednar, who was
not at the meeting. "Higher educa-
tion just sits there as a fairly easy
target."
Coleman said that while she
recognizes the state's economic
troubles, the state legislature
should view the increase in higher
education funding as an invest-
ment for Michigan's young work-
ers to stay in the state and help
develop new industries.
"We know it's going to take
time, but we think it's an impor-
tant strategic move for the state to
make," she said.
Cia Segerlind, the chief of
staff for State Rep. Pam Byrnes
(D-Chelsea), who usually spon-
sors the higher education bill in
the state House, said their office
couldn't comment on the budget
proposal because they hadn't seen
it.
She said budget proposals of
this nature usually take about a
week to get to the state govern-
ment's budget office and the rep-
resentative's office.
