0 2A - Thursday, November 4, 2010 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers L imiting government Leaders of the Univer- sity's chapter of the College Libertarians say the group is trying to distinguisb itself from other poliical organizations on0 campus by ltooking beyond party lines sod instead ftocusintg on the issues that shape the nation. "We're not a traditional political group," said Busi-- ness Schtool junior and exec- utive board member Sam van Kleef. The Libertarian party, van Kleef said, supports issues -that minimize gtov- erment involvement and maximize individual free- donm, like those related to tax reform, health law and weapons law. "We believe there should be linmited government in both the social and eco- ntomic aspects of our lives," he said. During meetings, van Kicef said the grottp usually discttsses a particular issue, how parties approach it, and how it can be improved. Van Kizef said the group focused on Proposition 19 - a failed ballot initiative that would have legalized and taxed marijuana in Califor- nia - which the group sup- ported. Vats Kizef said he and others were "disappointed" with the ultimate rejection of the proposition. "There's really no moral backing so allow one person tto tell another person that they can't smoke nasrijuana or do other drugs, as long as they're ntst hartming other people," he said. Among the diverse issues that interest the group, van Kleef said they tend to shy away from debating issues during meetings over which members of the group would be completely polarized. "Overall, we tend to form a pretty strong, unified front," he said. Van Kleef added that he hopes to see this "utnified front" continue to grow, inviting anyone interested in the ideals of "individual liberty, freedotm, and per- sonal responsibility" to join the Libertarians. "We really try to push the ideology that people are best off when they're free to do and act as they wish," he explained. "I think this is a positive message." - CLAIRE GOSCICKI PHOTO COURTESY OP COLLEGE LIBHRTARIANSs Members of the University's chapter of Coaflego Libertarians distribute literature on their party platform and issues. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SMILOVITZ KATIE JOZWIAK E ditoe ie Chief Business Manager 734-4t8-4tt5et. t252 734-418-4115 eat. 1241 srnitovrtz@rnh higaedaityeaom rmdbnoinesa@grraiteom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsnooofficebhors: oo.-Tboe rso. .-52a. 734-418-4115 opt. 3 Neat Tips oewsaaehigandaity.oe torrectiors scerrtonsemebigadaiy.oe Leters tolthe Editor tothedailygmichigandaify.com Photograpyptepartment phoo@eiefrigandaity.coe Arts Setinarrapage~aebihigaedaiy.eeer Editorial Pate opirion@nhiandaity.om Sports Section uports@mich igaedaitp.ooe DisplaplSales dbplay@micigaodaiy.eanr tlassified Sales clsafedgeicigandaiy.ueer Online Sales ontineadsegebhigandaiy.eeer Finantefinance@michigandiy.eeer EDITORIAL STAFF MattfAaronson Manuging Editor aarnhfeiemiciandaip.eern liltian eman Maeuingos Ediror bermnangebcigandaitp.eeer SEIRNW r 5~O icole Aber,, StephanieSteinberg, Kye Sanson, Orhwa, Kramer, J o~ xseph L uoso,,h, V ro ea, yna,,,,,irua,,soLuo Rachel VanGSlider tditorialPugetEditor nangitder@ebchigandaiy.eeer SEIO EITRALPAE sInORS:Mihele Dr t,milOirle, araVit ASISAT uusDsoJA.PAEEDRS:rrilliostleririine,,,sborshanuaga Ryan Karlie Managing Sport ditore farnje@ebhigandaiy.omn SEIRSPORTnSDIOSMBurno,,,s, Mhae rk,Casrel einsnins ion, Nick Spr,eSiapleto ASSISTANT SPRTuSEDITOS:Bn ts,Stephen sb5itt,iLkPsh, ak PyzjO, Amy laieBlock Managiog Artditoe hiock@mfchiandailyxarn u,,TATRSEDTRS rsryu,,,]hos,Brin, Sharn Jo,Ravei Sekr MaxtCollins and pheno@miiandailyeom SanWolsnn ManagingPhototEditrs urvASSITAT HOOsEITO:akesuuFrom,uJedMocs AnnatLein-Zielindti and dein@mbfbaedaiy.eaer SarahSquire ManagingtDeignoEditors TrevortCaler Muwazine Edinor ceromiebbigandaiy.com Melanie Fried and oepydenkaobihigandaiyome AdiWolislein Coppcliefb BUSINESS STAFF luliarna trio Sales Manuter Hiillary Szawala ClasfiedManager Megban Rooney Larour Manager Nick Mesbkin Fioance Manager Cbrissy Winkler Cirsularioni Manuger Zatb YancerssuheProctCoordinator TherMicigan Dily O1575-967u)nuis publishedMourday throughFriday adungterhfalland winter termsby students athiveriy o ihigan. ne coyis uiabefre f heto all radersoAuitsoal os manybrpikrdupathetDaily'sof~sfice ort2.ubscripinsnforfalltrnr, stating nryternr ,S. m ailarer110 trtermel nurethrounhfAprlti$ltyealng (Septembethrugh Ari) s 15.5Universyaffiuiatesare ubirtrna reueduscriptinrae.
