At the time, the organization's members were all male. Amy Blumenthal, then-vice president of the Michigan Student Assem- bly and Anita Tanay, a previous MSA member at the time, filed the complaint. They said the University favored members of Michigamua over other groups for the use of campus facilities. In the complaint, Blumen- thal wrote that she believed the University gave Michigamua members higher quality football tickets and better job opportuni- ties compared to other students. 60 years ago this week (Sep- tember 28,1951): The University of Michigan community was introduced to a new song called "Cow College Chant," which was dedicated to Michigan State College - now Michigan State University. The song premiered before students at a rally for that week- end's football game. Harry Kipke, former head coach of the Michigan football team from 1929-1937, also made an-appear- ance at the rally. 70 years ago this week (October 2,1941): Five hundred eighty-one international students enrolled for the University's fall semester in 1941. The students represented more than 69 nations, including the first student from Iceland ever to attend the University. Because of World War II, of the 144 students coming from Europe, 138 applied for citizen- ship in the United States. Great Britain had the largest number of exchange students with 164 enrolled and 123 seeking citi- zenship. - CAITLINHUSTON Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections correction@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@ichigandaily.com Editorial Pate opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandailycom Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 0 0 John Westln, who is visiting Ann Arbor fom Sweden, plays with devil sticks on the Diag yestenday.

In a three-sentence notice posted electronically, U.S. Dis- trict Judge James Zagel in Chi- cago did not offer any reason for cancelling Blagojevich's Oct. 6 sentencing, saying simply that it has been "stricken until further order by the court." Defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky cited the Oct. 3 start of the corruption trial of William Cellini, which Zagel is also pre- siding over. "Bytradition, a judge will always continue a sentencing if it invades the province of a jury trial.... That's what this was," Sorosky told The Associated Press later Monday. Blagojevich had no objection to the delay, Sorosky added. . While Zagel did not set a new date, Sorosky said Blagojevich would now likely be sentenced in late October or early Novem- ber - soon after Cellini's trial finishes. Cellini's trial is the last major case stemming from federal investigations of Blagojevich's governorship. The Springfield Republican, 76, was known as "The Pope" of Illinois politics for his influence in the halls of state power dating back to the 1960s. Cellini has pleaded not guilty to trying to squeeze a Hollywood producer for campaign cash for Blagojevich, though prosecutors do not claim in their indictment that the then-governor played a role in the alleged shakedown Foreign Minister also asks for release of five imprisoned Cubans UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Cuba wants to re-establish rela- tions with the United States with a focus on humanitarian and other issues, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said yesterday. Rodriguez also called on Presi- dent Barack Obama to release five Cubans serving U.S. espionage sentences, telling the opening of the new U.N. General Assembly that the continued imprison- ment of the five men convicted of espionage in 2001 is "inhumane." The Cuban government refers to the five men as heroes who were gathering information about ter- rorist groups in the United States to protect their homeland. The foreign minister said the two countries had many points of understanding in common. "The Cuban government reit- erates its willingness and interest to move toward the normaliza- tion of relations with the United States," Rodriguez said. "Today I reiterate the proposal of beginning a dialogue aimed at solving bilateral problems, including humanitarian issues, as well as the offer of negotiating several cooperation agreements to combat drug-trafficking, ter- rorism, human smuggling, pre- vent natural disasters and protect the environment." Among the humanitarian issues pending between the two countries is the continued impris- onment of American Alan Gross, who the Cuban government accuses ofillegally bringing com- munications equipment onto the island while on a USAID-funded democracy building program. In March of this year he was sentencedto 15 years in prison for crimes against the state. Cuban officials including Pres- ident Raul Castro accused him of spying,butGross sayshewasonly trying to help the island's tiny Jewish community get Internet access. The case has harmed .any chance of improved relations between Washington , and Havana, which briefly seemed to be getting better after Obama assumed the presidency. 0 KtCHIRO SATo/AP Former Illinois Gov.

Jurors at Blagojcich's retri- al earlier this yeas found the 54-year-old guilty on 17 of 20 corruption charges, including attempted extortion for trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat. At his first trial last year, a jury deadlocked on all but one count - convicting Blagojevich of lying to the FBI. Blagojevich faces a maximum sentence of 305 years in prison - though federal guidelines dictate he get far less. Most legal experts say Zagel is likely to sentence Blagojevich to around ten years. In the same notice Monday, Zagel also denied all motions filed by Blagojevich after his retrial ended in June, includ- ing requests for his convictions to be overturned and for a third trial. The judge said only that "post-trial motions are denied." A full, written explanation will be issued later, he said. Blagojevich's attorneys had accused prosecutors and Zagel of extreme bias against their cli- ent, arguing in one 158-page fil- ing that "the playing field was so unlevel that Blagojevich never stood a chance at a fair trial." Sorosky said he was "dis- appointed" in Zagel's deni- al of the post-trial motions. The defense plans to appeal Blagojevich's convictions, but Sorosky said that could only be done after a sentence is imposed.
