Palin to campaign
" for Chambliss in Ga.

Muslims condemn Mumbai attacks

ATLANTA (AP) - Republican
Sen. Saxby Chambliss enlisted
Sarah Palin to rally conservatives
while Democratic challenger Jim
Martin pushed to activate black
voters, as they grappled for advan-
tage in a Tuesday runoff that will
shape Democrats' hold on power
in Washington.
Palin, the Alaska governor who
was John McCain's vice presiden-
tial running mate, attended pri-
vate fundraisers Sunday night and
was set to speak at rallies across
the state Monday.

junior Courtney Ratkowiak was
appointed managing editor. She is
currently a senior sports editor.
Ratkowiak said she looks for-
ward to working with Graca to
increase the Daily's online cover-
age and accessibility.
"By the end of next semester,
we hope to have the new website
up and start targeting students
more," she said.
Ratkowiak said she also hopes
to improve internal matters like
training new writers.
Business School sophomore
Jacob Smilovitz, who was elected
managing news editor, said he
wants to make the paper's cover-
age connect with the student body
more than it currently does.
"We will make sure the Daily
covers the issues that affect the Uni-
versity's current students and future
graduates that give not only a sense
of a life in Ann Arbor, but also pre-
pare our readers for a life outside of
the campus community," he said.

McCain carried Georgia with
52 percent of the vote on Nov. 4.
Martin planned to campaign
with prominent Georgia Demo-
crats, including U.S. Rep. John
Lewis, as he soughtto rekindle the
strong showing by African Ameri-
can voters in the general election
that President-elect Barack Obama
sparked.
Neither Chambliss nor Martin
crossed the 50 percent thresh-
old in the general election. That
race included a libertarian, Allen
Buckley, who drew 3.4 percent.
LSA junior Robert Soave, cur-
rently the assistant editorial page
editor, was elected to lead the
opinion section.
LSA junior Andy Reid will
assume the role of managing
sports editor. Reid currently
serves as a senior sports editor.
Public Policy junior David Wat-
nick was elected managing arts
editor. Watnick is the current
music editor of the arts section.
Engineering junior Clif Reeder
and LSA junior Zachary Meisner
were elected co-managing photo
editors.
Reeder said he plans to add more
online content like slide shows to
make photos more accessible.
LSA sophomore Maureen Stych
and Angela Chih, a School of Art
and Design freshman, will serve
as co-managing design editors.
Other positions, including
the incoming magazine editor,
copy chief, online editor and
multimedia editor, have not
yet been finalized. Those spots
will be nominated by Graca and
appointed by the Daily's senior
editors.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP)
- Muslims from the Middle East
to Britain and Austria condemned
Sunday the Mumbai shooting ram-
page by suspected Islamic militants
as senseless terrorism, but also
found themselves on the defensive
once again about bloodshed linked
to their religion.
Intellectuals and community
leaders called for greater efforts to
combat religious fanaticism.
Indian police said Sunday that
the only surviving gunman told

only one on this campus who was af-
fected."
Varghese said the vigil is Univer-
sity-wide and not affiliated with any
particular campus groups.
"We're in this together. This is not
an issue of religion or politics," he said.
"It's about us, and I think solidarity is
what we're really lookingto see.'
LSA senior Sabrina Shingwani,
president of Michigan Student As-
sembly, said planning for the event
began Friday. She said she expects

The group is seen as a creation of
Pakistani intelligence to help fight
India in the disputed Kashmir
region. Another group, Jaish-e-
Mohammed, has also operated in
Kashmir. Both are reported to be
linked to al-Qaida.
Ten gunmen attacked 10 targets
in the three-day assault including
a Jewish community center and
luxury hotels in India's commercial
hub. More than 170 people were
students to bring both the American
and Indian flags to the vigil and that

"It would be nice to add a person-
al touch to this and really read their
names and honor them individually,"
she said. "Everyone is kind of taken
aback by this and I think everyone
understands that we need to mourn
for them together."
Shingwani, who also has family
and friends in Mumbai, said she felt
fear and confusion when told of the
attacks.
"I was scared to death for my fam-
ily and immediately called my par-
ents," said Shingwani, whose parents

2007titled "Latinos, immigration poli-
cy and the nationalinterest."
In her speech, she emphasized
the need for effective immigration
reform policies.
These new policies, she said,
should include increased enforce-
ment at U.S. borders and inside the
country, a new system in which
employers can reliably validate
their employees' work statuses, the
creation of national ID cards and
new paths to citizenship for the

killed.
Many Muslims said they are
worried such carnage is besmirch-
ing their religion.
"The occupation of the syna-
gogue and killing people in hotels
tarnishes the Muslim faith," said
Kazim al-Muqdadi, a political sci-
ence lecturer at Baghdad Universi-
ty. "Anyone who slaughters people
and screams 'Allahu Akbar' (God is
Great) is sick and ignorant."
In Britain, home to nearly two
million Muslims, a spokesman for

now, after knowing my family is OK,
it's mostly just confusion to try to
understand what needs to be done
at this point - what leaders in India
need to step up and say to prevent
things like this' from happening in
the future."
LSA junior Zeha Jabeen, political
chair of the Muslim Student Asso-
ciation, said there's been an effort to
pool resources in order to incorpo-
rate more of campus.
"We're bringing our resources
together to bring the student body
together," she said. "I think that it's
a tragedy that affects a lot of the stu-
dents on campus."
approximately 12 million people

Munoz said she believes that
Americans, for the most part, sup-
port immigration policies that
would allow illegal immigrants to
become citizens.
"When faced with the real policy
options, which are deporting 12
million people - which is unlikely
and hugely expensive - and giving
those people the ability to earn per-
manent status and citizenship over
time, the American public chooses

the Muslim Council of Britain,
Inayat Bunglawala, said that "a
handful of terrorists like this bring
the entire faith into disrepute."
A previously unknown Muslim
group,DeccanMujahideen,claimed
responsibility for the attacks. The
name suggests origins in India.
Pakistan has denied involvement
and demanding that India pro-
vide proof. In Pakistan, Jamaat-ud
Dawa, an Islamist group believed
to have ties to Lashkar-e-Taiba,
denounced the killing of civilians.
LSA senior Ashwin Ramnath,
president of the Indian Ameri-
can Student Association, said he is
e-mailing members of the Indian
American Students Association to
boost attendance at the vigil.
"We're going to be there to show
our support," he said.
Ramnath's parents grew up in
Mumbai, and he also has family and
friends living there who were forced
to lock their doors and windows and
stay inside during the attacks.
"I can't imagine three days in limbo,
not knowing what's going on," he said.

been demonstrated over and over
again in independent polls over the
last five years," she said.
But first, she added, politicians,
policymakers and citizens alike
must recognize that there is a mar-
ket for undocumented immigrant
workers, and that as long as there's
demand for these workers, illegal
immigration will continue.

"Adjacent technology areas -

Robert Kruse, GM's executive
director of global vehicle engi-
neering for hybrids, electric vehi-

Arbor Business Review that the
partnership between GM and the
University shows the automaker is
"committed to the electrification
of the vehicle."
"Dr. Sastry, as a preeminent
expert in battery technologies,
has unique insights on our educa-
tional needs based on her research
area, and has assembled a group
of faculty and students that is
unmatched," Kruse said. "Togeth-
er, we aim not only to educate new
workers, but to internally reposi-
tion our knowledge base around
this goal, and to make a lasting
impact."
