4 2A - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com SDAY: FRIDAY: s Clubs Photos of the Week 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." - ANGELA SON TERRA MOLENGRAFF/Da Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins speaks at an event discussing the impact of Title IX.

"0 .0 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. a Alex Pourbaix, president of TransCanada Corp.'s energy and oil pipelines, right, speaks to reporters outside the law 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. *f
