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."' 0 An employee prepares pizza for custom RESTAURANT From Page 1 will be available for $12 and a dinner entree can be purchased for $25 at most participating e I I -N-1 i . 3a k 1 C yP : R .yl Ya_ ML tn.

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." G O or Send your resum and contact information to:Info getgong.com the one click critic by January 31.
