STUDENT AID
From Page 1
"There is no stronger trigger for
rising costs at public universities
and colleges than declining state
support."
University spokesman Rick
Fitzgerald wrote in a statement
to The Michigan Daily that the
University is supportive of ini-
tiatives that assist students.
"It's always encouraging
when legislators focus on help-
ing Michigan students," Fitzger-
ald wrote. "We welcome more
dialogue about the best ways to
support student success."
Warren said she hopes the
program will prevent students
from leaving the state after grad-
uation, since they won't have to
worry about paying off as much
debt post-graduation.
"We have so many of our stu-
dents that get educated here and
then leave Michigan to go find
a job somewhere - else, and I'm
really hopeful that a program
like this ... will give students
the opportunity to stay here in
Michigan," Warren said.
As Michigan has continued to
accrue budget deficits over the
past decade, the state govern-
ment has decreased funding to
public universities by 65 percent,
subsequently driving up tuition
costs. Warren said a major initia-
tive of the Michigan 2020 plan is
helping to alleviate student debt
amassed from state public uni-
versities.
Warren said the program
would require $1.8 billion per
year and can be funded without
raising taxes, through initiatives
like reallocating a portion of the
$34 billion in tax credits the
state grants each year to Michi-
gan 2020.,
"Our plan is to create a com-
mission that would study those
$34 billion in tax credits and look
at them and say some of them we
might want to keep ... and some
of them have not reviewed in
years and maybe we don't want
to keep them anymore," Warren
said.
Warren added she is optimis-
tic that Republican Gov. Rick
Snyder will approve the plan if it
passed through the state House
and Senate, since his previous
budget and tax code revisions
included eliminating tax credits.
"I'm rather hopeful that the
Snyder administration would
find something like this could
be an attractive policy to sort of
investigate and see if they could
get behind," Warren said.
State Rep. Mark Ouimet (R-
Lyndon Twp.) said while there's
still a lengthy process preced-
ing implementation of the plan
- since the legislation has to
pass through individual coin-
mittees and the full state Senate
and state House - he is eager to
learn more.
"I'm looking forward to tak-
ing a look at it and seeing what's
involved," Ouimet said in an
interview yesterday.
LSA and Art & Design junior
Ian Matchett, a member of Occu-
py UM, said he would like to see
more information on how the
program will be sustained over
time, but thinks it's a big step for
the progress of the state.
"Fundamentally, this is some-
thing that needs to be dealt
with," Matchett said. "We need
to allow students to obtain a
public education in Michigan,
and that's something that's been
increasingly out of reach for
many people."'

We're looking for 10-15 enthusiastic students to work on the week-
long U of M Ann Arbor campus launch campaign occurring between
March 12.30, if you want to round up your floor or Greek house to join
the -Jarmy, that works too! The pay Is most excellent!
ers at Mani Osteria yesterday,
Restaurant Week businesses. For
both meals, the number of cours-
es varies by restaurant.
Though Main Street estab-
lishments are a central part of
the event, businesses like Mani
Osteria and Pacific Rim - both
located on East Liberty Street
- are also participating in past
Restaurant Week.
Adam Baru, owner of Mani
Osteria, said menus for the
event are carefully selected by
each restaurant to highlight
each establishment's unique
offerings. This will be Mani
Osteria's second Restaurant
Week since opening last May, as
- they participated-in Ann Arbor's
June Restaurant Week last sum-
mer. Baru added it has been an
effective way to attract new cus-
tomers.
"Restaurant Week is a won-
derful thing for the communi-
ty," Baru said. "It gives people
an opportunity to go out and
maybe try a restaurant they've
never gone to before, and it
gives the restaurant a chance to
put its best foot forward."
Baru continued, "We're
always excited about Restau-
rant Week. There will be a lot
of new faces that come through,
which is always great, as well as
a lot of our regulars as well."
Thomas McKee, the manager
of Pacific Rim, said he hopes
students will take advantage of
the lower food prices to experi-
ence the restaurant, adding that
the business boasts an unusu-
ally large menu for the event.
The business plans to offer five
appetizers and five entrees.
"(Restaurant Week) kind of
lets the students see what we're
all about ... they see what we're
able to offer, they see how good
our food is, how good our atmo-
sphere (is) and our service,"
McKee said. "We tried to make
the experience as representative
of what we're normally doing as
is possible."
