The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 7A The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 7A MSA From Page 1A are homeless and without running water," she said at the meeting. The second proposal considered was "Resolution to Call for Peace in Gaza and Israel," authored by LSA Reps. Gibran Baydoun, Andrew Chinsky, Ian Margolis and Cassie Feldman, MSA Chief of Staff Ashley Schwedt and Business Rep. Jason Raymond. At around 12:15 a.m. last night, after five hours of community input and discussion, the amendment passed. "The Michigan Student Assembly mourns all death and deeply wants the violence to stop for the sake of the residentsofGaza,Israelandtheworld and supports humanitarian efforts and peace," the resolution stated. The resolution called for the reso- lution's authors and MSA executives to work with the American Move- ment for Israel and Students Allied for Freedom and Equality to plan a screening of a documentary about the sisterhood of six Arab and six Jewish women entitled "Refusing to be Enemies: the Zeitouna Story." It also called for a copy of the resolution and a letter including the details of the screening to be sent to The Michigan Daily, The Ann Arbor News and the Detroit Free Press. GRAFFITI From Page 1A Area Association, said that once vandals see graffiti on a property in a certain area, they are more likely to deface other properties in that area. "If someone sees graffiti, they assume that there aren't enough eyes on it so it somewhat grows from there," he said. The purpose of the ordinance was not to penalize people who are The decisionto still consider a res- olution concerning an international conflict that is currently in the midst of a cease-fire was addressed by several members of MSA last night. They said that since they believe the situation continues to be a humani- tarian crisis, the proposal is still relevant. Additionally, they said that the Middle East conflict in general is a controversial issue that many stu- dents care about and thus should be taken up by the assembly. Much of the sentiment from the previous week's meetingwas echoed last night, including passionate dis- course on both sides of the issue. Several people present at the meeting argued that the proposal was a means of helping those in need during a time of humanitarian crisis. "I'm a Palestinian, I'm a Jew, I'm a Christian, I'm a person, I'm a human," community member Husan Ahmad said. "The thing here is we have a matter that touched not only Palestinian, but it touched Christian, Jew, Hispanic; it touched everybody in the world. The prob- lem here we are facing is not Jewish, it is Zionist." Others argued that the resolu- tion was one-sided and did not pres- ent enough information about the attacks on Israel leading up to its campaign in Gaza. "It makes no mention of Hamas or what's going on in southern Isra- Andrew Dalack, co-chair of Students Allied for Freedom and Equality, speaks at last night's MSA meeting about the assembly's resolution regarding the Gaza conflict. el or that over a million Israelis are living within range of rocket fire," Chinsky said. "If we want to get a more balanced resolution, that's something we can talk about in the future, you don't have to be pro-Pal- estinian or pro-Israeli to do that." The issue of whether or not it is appropriate for MSA to pass a reso- lution about an international con- flict was also apoint of much debate last night. LSA-SG Rep. Adam London, who is not a member of MSA, said that as a student government representative himself, he does not think it is within the assembly's parameters to pass an amendment on such a global issue. "We have a large view, and it's important that what you say and the actions you take should represent those who voted for you," he said. "Know when it's right not to get involved in something that is really more of an international concern." Stenvig disagreed with London, arguing that a student government hasthe responsibility totake stances on issues that many University stu- dents are concerned with regardless of their locality. "To take a position as a group of leaders that is elected is a tangible thing that has an impact," Sten- vig said. "We're not future leaders; we're leaders today already, and we have a responsibility to take posi- tions like this." INAUGURATION From Page lA Andrea Jones, president of the University's chapter of the NAACP, said the trip to D.C. made Obama's historic election seem more real. "It was a moving experience," she said. "It makes me more hope- ful for the next four years." Jones said that despite her group's early arrival, the city was already crowded when she arrived yesterday morning. "We were there at 4:30 a.m. and the streets were already getting packed," she said. In Ann Arbor, students, faculty and other members of the Univer- sity community gathered at sev- eral watch parties around campus to share in the historic event. There was standing room only at the Union Ballroom where approximately 150 stu- dents gathered to watch the inauguration. Throughout the ceremony, the room was quiet, but students stood to cheer and applaud Obama when he was sworn in. When out- going President George W. Bush was shown on television, several people in attendance snickered and laughed at him. LSA sophomore Mitch Crispell, who watched the inauguration from the Union, skipped class to witness the event. "My parents told me to go to class," he said. "But I said ifI went to class I would regret it for the rest of my life and I really should be in a place where I can be cel- ebrating an incredible landmark." Engineering senior Ashley Issa, whoalsowatchedtheinauguration in the Union, said she was excited by the inauguration and thinks Obama will be more responsive to the American people. "It's really one of our great events in history," she said. "I see him as someone who can better represent all the different voices that there are inthe US." Across campus, a group of stu- dents and faculty filled the Busi- ness School's recently constructed Blau Auditorium to watch Obama's inauguration. LSA junior Katherine Nasz- radi, who watched the event in the Business School, said words couldn't describe how she felt. "It's just so incredible," she said. "It feels like a new era." Business senior Elise Hutchin- son, said she decided to watch the inauguration from Blau Auditori- um after her professor ended class early. "Our teacher let us out of class, because it's something he defi- nitely didn't want us to miss," she said. Pharmacy freshman Chris Truong said watching the event made him proud of the country we live in today and ready to tackle the troubles we currently face. "It is something that all Ameri- cans should be proud of," he said. "Even though we have a lot of problems today, a lot of work can be done if we start it together." LSA freshman Justin Schon, who watched with other members of the Honor's College commu- nity in their Mason Hall commons area, said he was impressed by Obama's speech. "I thought it was a fantastic speech," he said. "He hit on all the points that he should have hit on and I was particularly impressed that one of the first words he said was the word 'humble,' which is a word I would like to hear the president say more often." Brittney Miller, John A. Weiss, Jr., Daily Staff Reporter Caitlin Schneider and the Associated Press contributed to this report. victims of graffiti, Clark said, but to stop the occurrence of vandalism in the city. In fact, the new ordinance was scaled back from its original draft presented to City Council in December, which included a fine of up to $500 for property owners who didn't remove graffiti within two to four days of discovering the vandalism. Business owners felt the fine was too harsh and that property owners were targeted too heavily. "The revision is much better in how it relates the original intent of the ordinance to people," Clark said. At the meeting, concerns were raised by Ann Arbor residents that the ordinance prioritized graffiti removal in the city, which isn't worth fighting with taxpayer money. But City Council members said that they remained confident that the ordinance would be successful in decreasing graffiti within the city and proud of the collaboration of many different city organiza- tions. Council member Margie Teall, the senior sponsor of the proposal, said that the 90-day window before the ordinance takes effect will be used to inform property owners on how to remove the graffit-i. Sug- gestions for removal included "Ele- phant Snot" - a graffiti removal treatment. The progress of the ordinance will be reviewed by City Council at a meeting scheduled six months from now. the michigan daily CAMPUS PROPERTIES AVAILABLE MAY 1 bedroom. 428 AVAILABLE MAY 2009 S.
