WHO: Michigan Union Ticket Office WHEN: Today at7 p.m. WHERE: Michigan League Ballroom Immigration bill challenges citizenship laws for children Arizona rep. says citizenship law increases costs PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona lawmakers are again diving into the national debate over illegal immigration by proposing a bill that challenges automatic U.S. citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. The proposalyesterdaycomes after Arizona last year enacted one of the nation's toughest local laws targeting illegal immigra- tion. Republican Rep. John Kava- nagh, who filed the latest pro- posal, said the goal isn't to get every state in the union to enact such a law, but rather to bring the dispute to the courts in hopes of reducing the costs asso- ciated with granting automatic citizenship. "The result of that is they immediately acquire the right BIG HOUSE From Page 1 University can also pay to use the stadium for events like cor- porate meetings, Ablauf said. The lighting doesn't cost the University any money since the expense of Big House lights is covered by a separate athletic maintenance fund, according to Ablauf. During the football season, stadium lights were kept on all day for the catering and main- tenance personnel who service the facility. Additionally, a permanent lighting system for the field was installed before The Big Chill to full benefits, everything from welfare to cheese, which increases the costs to the states," Kavanagh said. "And beyond that, it's irresponsible and fool- ish to, bestow citizenship based upon one's GPS location at birth." This is the second time this year that lawmakers in a state have targeted the U.S. Constitu- tion's 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to any- one born in the U.S. A similar proposal was filed last week in the Indiana Gen- eral Assembly by Republican Rep. Eric Koch. Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, who is leading the effort to get the measure considered across the country, said he hopes that law- makers in 10 to 15 states will file similar proposals this year. Supporters of the proposal argue that the wording of the 14th Amendment, which guar- antees citizenship to people born in the U.S. who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of this coun- at the Big House hockey game, which was held on Dec.11. The University's Board of Regents unanimously approved the $1.8 million installation at its meeting in September. "The addition of permanent lights will improve the qual- ity of viewing experience for our fans," Athletic Director David Brandon wrote in a press release at the time. The first night game will take place on Sept. 10, 2011 against Notre Dame. Ablauf said these new lights are currentlyused onbasketball game days to help guide specta- tors to Crisler Arena. Raymond De Young, an asso- ciate professor of conservation try, doesn't apply to the children of illegal immigrants because such families don'towe sole alle- giance to the U.S. Opponents say the proposal is mean-spirited toward immi- grants, won't make a dent in the state's immigration woes, and will be declared unconstitution- al by the courts. Democratic Rep. Daniel Pat- terson of Tucson, an opponent of the bill, said the measure will result in lawsuits and dis- tract the state from focusing on improvements to its hard-hit economy. And, Patterson said, it won't do anything to repair Ari- zona's image. "Bills like this that really aren't going to go anywhere," Patterson said, "they are really only goingto end up in court and drive up litigation costs and give us more of a bad reputation as kind of a crazy state that I don't think that most of the people in this state agree with. It's just a waste of time." behavior at the University's School of Natural Resources and Environment, said while the nighttime lighting has a minimal impact on the environ- ment, he's curious to see if the University addresses the issue from an environmental stand- point. "If it's brought up to their attention, this is a nice sort of mini-test of how serious they take (environmental issues)," De Young said. According to Ablauf, the Athletic Department is consci- entious of environmental con- cerns. "We put an emphasis on try- ing to conserve some energy," Ablauf said. -- S AP Egyptian activists protested for the third day ina row in response to social networking sites that called for a mass rally in Cairo after Friday prayers. This was the country's largest anti-government protest inyears. Hundreds activists protest outsi'de Cairo Rioters seek to oust Egyptian president, firebomb fire station CAIRO (AP) - Violence esca- lated in two cites outside the capital Cairo yesterday where anti-government protesters torched a fire station and looted weapons that they then turned on police. Egypt's top democracy advocate returned to the country and declared he was ready to lead the campaign to oust longtime President Hosni Mubarak. In the flashpoint city of Suez, east of Cairo, witnesses said riot- ers - some wearingsurgical masks to ward off tear gas - firebombed the main fire station and firefight- ers jumped out windows to escape the flames, as heavy black smoke billowed from the building. In the northern Sinai area of Sheik Zuweid, several hundred Bed- ouins and police exchanged live gunfire, killing a 17-year-old man. About 300 protesters surrounded a police station from rooftops of nearby buildings and fired two RPGs at it, damaging the walls. Social networking sites were abuzz with talk that today's rallies could be some of the biggest so far calling for the ouster of Mubarak after 30 years in power. Millions gather at mosques across the city for Friday prayers, providing orga- nizers with a huge number of peo- ple already out on the streets to tap into. Byyesterday evening, Facebook, Twitter, cell phone text messages as well as Blackberry Messenger services were interrupted, possi- bly a move by authorities to ham- per protesters from organizing. Egypt's ruling party said it was ready for a dialogue with the pub- lic but offered no concessions to address demands for a solution to rampant poverty and politi- cal change heard in the country's largest anti-government protests in years. Safwat EI-Sherif, the secretary general of the National Democratic Party and a longtime confidant of Mubarak, was dismis- sive of the protesters at the first news conference by a senior rul- ing party figure since the protests began. "We are confident of our abil- ity to listen. The NDP is ready for a dialogue with the public; youth and legal parties," he said. "But democracy has its rules and pro- cess. The minority does not force its will on the majority." The 82-year-old Mubarak has not been seen in public or heard from since the protests began Tuesday with tens of thousands marching in Cairo and a string of other cities. Mubarak has not said yet whether he will stand for anoth- er six-year term as president in elections this year. He has never appointed a deputy and is thought to be grooming his son Gamal to succeed him despite popular opposition. According to leaked U.S. memos, hereditary succes- sion also does not meet with the approval of the powerful military. Mubarak has seen to it that no viable alternative to him has been allowed to emerge. Constitutional amendments adopted in 2005 by the NDP-dominated parliament has made it virtually impossible for independents like ElBaradei to run for president.
