TITLE IX TALK
Chicks don't dig the 'stache
60 years ago this week (Oct.
28,1951): Murray Kushell, execu-
tive vice-president of the Better
Grooming Foundation, reported
that college women admire mus-
taches. Kushell also stated that
one main reason for the rapid
increase in mustaches is that men
discovered that women secretly
admire being tickled when they
are kissed.
This assertion was flatly denied
by the women questioned at the
University, and most insisted that
they could not think of anything
worse than prickly facial hair.
"Heavens, no!" a University
senior replied when asked by
The Michigan Daily if she liked
"cookie dusters," or moustaches.
But she added that they weren't
bad on older men.
30 years ago this week (Oct.
30, 1971): Robert Knauss, vice
president for Student Services,
-requested more campus security,
when more than 1,400 residents
asked for improved service after
two rapes were reported on cam-
pus.
Knauss proposed the Dial-a-
Ride bus service for students as
well as an expansion ofthe regular
North Campus bus service area to
cover the Northwood Apartments.
Knauss also authorized
improved lighting on the streets
and the construction of a chain
link fence along the edge of the
Nichols Arboretum, in addition
to increased patrols by the Uni-
versity security guards.
10 years ago this week (Oct.
23, 2001): A joint committee of
the Michigan Student Assembly
and LSA Student Government
drafted a proposal for a fall study
break in mid-October.
"We are constantly hearing
MSA should do something that
affects students," MSA President
Matt Nolan said in a Daily article.
"I see this as MSAtaking an issue
students have asked us to change
and turning it into something
real."
Nolan added that giving stu-
dents more time to study for
midterms "will consequently
improve the mental and physical
health and the academic quality
of work done at this university."

GOP presidential primary rc
now a contest of character *
a
Romney, Perry
try to attack each
other's values,
credibility
NEW YORK (AP) - The
Republican presidential race has
become a no-holds-barred con-
test over character.
With the pace of the GOP con-
test quickening, Mitt Romney
and Rick Perry are resorting to
tough language online and while
campaigning to undermine each
other's credibility and values.
"It's time for you to tell the
truth," Perry said during last
week's Republican debate, all
but calling the former Massa-
chusetts governor a liar.
The Texas governor also is
trying to cast Romney as some-
one who lacks a core set of
beliefs, highlighting Romney's
shifts on health care and other
'issues in hopes of dislodging
him from atop the field.
Romney is portraying Perry as
a dimwitted novice who coddles
illegal immigrants and takes lib-
erties with his economic record.
"The great challenges we have
we will overcome," Romney said
in South Dakota recently, "if we
have leaders that will tell the
truth, and live with integrity,
and who, by virtue of their life
experience, know how to lead."
It was a suggestion that Perry
didn't fit that bill.
The amped-up rhetoric sig-
nals a more aggressive phase in
the race and sets the tone in the
10 weeks before the nominating
contest begins in Iowa in early
January. It also illuminates
campaign strategies and pre-
views likely attack ads sure to
surface on television soon.
It's raised concerns among
some Republicans, who fear
a drawn out, personal battle
between their top contenders
will only help President Barack
Obama's chances of winning
next year.
"I don't like that, I'm not
for that. I'm a Ronald Reagan
Republican, he didn't think it
was smart to attack each other
and I don't either," oil billion-
aire T. Boone Pickens told Fox
News last week after Romney
and Perry got in each other's
faces during the Las Vegas
debate.
Despite their oft-stated rever-
ence for Reagan, the two lead-
ing Republican hopefuls are
ignoring Reagan's so-called
11th commandment: "Thou
shalt not speak ill of any fellow
Republican."
Romney, seen as the Repub-
lican to beat, has identified
Perry as his top rival, even
with' businessman Herman
Cain polling well and lower-
tier contenders such as Newt
Gingrich and Rick Santo-
rum drawing positive buzz in
debates.
Only Perry has been able
to compete with Romney in
fundraising and the two are
expected to have enough
resources for a protracted
national campaign if neces-
sary. Both have the backing
of powerful special political
action committees that can
raise unlimited funds to run
attack ads of their own.
Romney's campaign has
started web site, www.career-
politician.com , that jabs at
Perry's record in Texas. The
Romney team posted a video
on the site after Perry's stron-
ger-than-usual debate per-
formance last week, stringing
together several clips from
past debates in which Perry
stammered and looked con-
fused.

offices of Nebraska Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood in Norfolk, Neb., Tuesday, Oct.11, 2011.
Nebraska lawmakers to potentially
challenge route of Keystone pipeline
Gov. Dave Heineman
will call special
legislative session
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman
said yesterday he will call a spe-
cial legislative session that could
allow lawmakers to challenge
the route of a massive trans-
national oil pipeline, despite
uncertainty about whether such
an effort will succeed or stand
up in court.
The Republican governor said
he wants lawmakers to find a
"legal and constitutional" solu-
tion to allow for state oversight
of oil pipelines, including the
hotly contested Keystone XL
project. The U.S. State Depart-
ment has authority to approve or
scuttle the $7 billion Keystone
project because it would cross
the national border.
Heineman said he will call
lawmakers into session Nov. 1,
which means they'll have little
time to act before the end of the
year, when federal authorities
are scheduled decide the proj-
ect's fate.
The 1,700-mile pipeline,
which would travel through
Montana, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas and Oklaho-
ma, ending up on Texas's Gulf
Coast, would tarry an estimated
700,000 barrels of oil a day, dou-
bling the capacity of an existing
pipeline from Canada.
Heineman has said he sup-
ports the pipeline but opposes
the route, which would cut
through part of the Ogallala
aquifer, a massive water sup-
ply in Nebraska and seven other
states.
The governor acknowledged
lawmakers will face steep chal-
lenges with any proposal that
might affect the project, which
has been in the planning and
review stage for years. Any state
law that tries to derail the pro-
posal will face an all-but-certain
legal challenge.
"At the end of the day I want
to be very, very clear: I believe
we need to make the effort. I
think Nebraskans will appreci-
ate that," Heineman said. "But
it's entirely possible at the end
of the day we'll have this conver-
sation, and the Legislature may
reach the conclusion that we
don't have any legal or constitu-
tional option."
Nebraska Speaker of the Leg-
islature Mike Flood welcomed
the plan to hold a special ses-
sion, despite saying last week
that a bill to reroute the pipeline
would not likely survive a legal
challenge.
"This issue has never been
about whether the state has a
legitimate role in protecting
our groundwater and natural
resources," Flood said. "The
question, for me, has been how
to exercise that role within the
parameters of the law."
Pipeline opponents in the
Legislature are now looking at
ways to amend the bill to focus
on other concerns where the
state would have authority, such
as protecting Nebraska's cultur-
al identity or economic interests.
"If we don't succeed, at least
we will have tried," said state
Sen. Bill Avery of Lincoln. "The
voters will respect at least that."
Supporters say the pipeline
could reduce U.S. dependence
on Middle Eastern oil, while
environmental groups say it
would bring "dirty oil" that
requires huge amounts of ener-
gy to extract and could cause an
ecological disaster in case of a
spill.
