WASHINGTON (AP) - Vet- eran Rep. Charles Rangel, the . raspy-voiced, backslapping former chairman of one of Congress' most powerful committees, was cen- sured by his House colleagues for financial misconduct yesterday in a solemn moment of humiliation in the sunset of his career. "I brought it onto myself," Rangel told the House. But he also said poli- tics was at work. After the 333-79 vote, the 80-year-old Democrat from New York's Harlem stood silently at the front of the House and faced Speak- er Nancy Pelosi as she read him the formal resolution of censure. Then, in response, he admitted he had made mistakes, including his failure to pay all his taxes, fil- ing misleading financial statements and improperly seeking money from corporate interests for a college cen- ter bearing his name. But he also declared, "In my heart I truly feel good." He said, "A lot of it has to do with the fact that I know in my heart that I am not going to be judged by this Congress, butI am going to be judged by my life." It was only the 23rd time in the nation's history that a House mem- ber received the most severe pun- ishment short of expulsion. Aside from the embarrassment, censure carries no practical effect and ends the more than two-year ordeal for the congressman who was re-elect- ed to a 21st term last month with more than 80 percent of the vote. Relief and defiance took over the moment Rangel finished speaking. Somber, Pelosi quietly slipped out of the chamber, but some Demo- crats gave him a standing ovation. Rangel made it only a third of the way up the aisle when a phalanx of well-wishers stopped and hugged him; he responded by saying some- thing that made them laugh. He was smiling forthe rest of the 10 minutes or so that it took to get through his colleagues to exit the chamber, his humiliation past. HATHITRUST From Page1 HathiTrust gives University stu- dents easy access to a wider array of resources than in previous years, Wilkin said. This is due in large part to the fact that HathiTrust holdings are included in each Mir- lyn search, eliminating the need for students to go from library to library to look for a book, he said. "A person doing research today has access to a more and more comprehensive body of materials PREJEAN From Page 1 an adult education center, some- one asked Prejean to be a pen pal to a prisoner on death row. She became the inmate's spiritual - advisor, and has since dedicated her life to abolishing the death penalty in the United States. "Human rights aren't given to people for good behavior and they can't be taken away from people for bad behavior," she said. Prejean explained that it was at this point, after being exposed to injustice and learning to stand for something, that she discovered what made her life worth living. "What makes life worth liv- ing is flowering into, discovering, without having to search out those materials," Wilkin said. "(He or she) can focus on the conclusions rather than the hunt, and the con- clusions are most important." Tom Hubbard, an information resources reference specialist' at the Hatcher Graduate Library, said the now-expanded HathiTrust has untapped potential as a resource for University students. "I don't know how much aware- ness the student community has of it, but if they are aware it will help their research," Hubbard said. Mariah Cherem, a first-year being seized by a passion bigger than us," she said. "It's a great grace when it comes to us." Protecting people's rights is an innate human desire and a responsibility that we have as humans, Prejean said. "We are people of justice, and we are the ones who have been entrusted with the Constitu- tion of the United States, and we are the ones who have to make it work in our daily lives and in our dealings with each other and when something is wrong, we have to be the ones to change it," she said. After her speech, Prejean took questions from the audience and addressed regional differences in attitudes toward the death penal- graduate student in the School of Information, echoed Hubbard's concerns about the lack of stu- dent awareness, but said she feels HathiTrust can help students in a variety of ways. "It's useful for students' research interests in school, but also for their personal interests," Cherem said. According to information pro- vided by University library staff, the partner institutions will par- ticipate in a "constitutional con- vention" in 2011 to formally review HathiTrust and outline its future. ty. She explained that while New Jersey and New Mexico have recently banned the use of the death penalty, it is still "holding strong" in the South, but that the "practice is diminishing" toa cer- tain degree. For example, many southern states now require that juries be informed about alterna- tive sentences like life in prison without parole. Prejean commended Michigan on historically being opposed to the death penalty. "Thank you, Michigan, we hold you up like a beacon," she said as the audience broke out into applause. "You've never suc- cumbed to the pressure of the death penalty and that's some- thing to be proud of." The Michigan League Ballroom set up for a wedding. Many alumni, students and faculty turn to University venues to host their weddings. The League and the Union have played host to 81 weddings since January. WEDDINGS From Page 1 the Unions are students. Wedding planning, Harper said, provides students with management and communications experience, as well as practice at handling last minute emergencies. Harper added that a majority of clients are alumni, but that they also serve many current students in the University's medical and law programs. The League and the Union are also popular wedding locations for faculty, staff and doc- tors lookingto get married. The University of Michigan Museum of Art is another on- campus wedding venue, which started hosting private events after reopening in 2009. Accord- ing to Kathryn Huss, chief admin- istrative officer of UMMA, though the option to use the space as a wedding venue is not publicized on UMMA's website, people hear about it through word of mouth. UMMA held its first wedding in August 2010 and has since hosted six more weddings. Four venues - with prices varying from $1,000 to $5,000 - are available for recep- tions and ceremonies. According to Huss, UMMA has earned about $100,000 from weddings so far, and the museum uses the profits to support exhibitions and educa- tional programming. But the museum's aesthetic qualities that make it so appealing can also be a bit limiting. Huss said UMMA will not hold more than 250 people for a seated dinner, a measure intended "to protect and preserve the safety of the art col- lection." "We're very careful. There's only a certain number of people we can accommodate safely within the artwork, so some people want to have a larger wedding than is capable here," Huss said. University alum Courtenay Holscher married Craig Sanford at UMMA on Saturday, Nov. 20. The newlyweds, both 23, met dur- ing their freshman year in Burs- ley Residence Hall and graduated from the College of Engineering together in 2009. Though the cou- ple currentlylives in Denver, Colo., Courtney said they wanted to get married on campus because of their history together at the Uni- versity. In searching for a venue, San- ford found that UMMA was more expensive than the League or Union, but said the price was worth the building's beauty and location. Business senior Lee Quacken- bush, president of the Men's Glee Club, said he's heard great things about Sanford's wedding from an acquaintance who attended the event. "It was gorgeous and it was very much Michigan-themed," said Quackenbush, who recently proposed to his girlfriend at Hill Auditorium. Quackenbush plans to marry LSA senior Heather Jones on Dec. 31 in Grand Rapids, Mich. Though they considered having the wed- ding on campus, both their fami- lies live in Western Michigan, and Quackenbush said the location was one of the most important factors. "We looked at the Union, the Museum of Art and the church at the corner of State and Wash- ington (Streets), but those were much more expensive than what we're looking at," Quackenbush said.
