FUNDING
From Page 1A
a drop in National Institutes of
Health funding that was support-
ed by stimulus funds. The NIH
is currently the single largest
funder of University research.
According to the most recent
National Science Foundation
report, published in 2009, the
University ranks first in research
expenditures among public uni-
versities and number two out
of national universities, behind
Johns Hopkins University in Bal-
timore, Md., which has a research
budget approaching $2 billion.
Encompassed by the recent
increase is a more than $20 mil-
lion contract for the University's
Transportation Research Insti-
tute to study connected vehicle
technology, which allows vehi-
cles to gather information about
road conditions and other perti-
nent information while traveling.
The technology, which is funded
by the U.S. Department of Trans-
portation, could alert a driver
about possible accidents, changes
in weather conditions and traffic
patterns.
This new technology could be
utilized in about 10 percent of car
crashes that occur between non-
impaired motorists, according to
the DOT.
Forrest said he expects federal
research budgets to remain flat
or decrease slightly over the next
few years..
"I fully anticipate that the
University of Michigan will
maintain its leadership role as
one of the premier research
institutions in the world," he
said. "We're always looking to
the areas where we are unques-
tionably the best or have a really
good shot at being the best ... to
take leadership and to really
drive the overall success of the
University forward."
Forrest said the current eco-
nomic crisis may provide the
University with an opportunity
to differentiate itself from other
institutions.
"These are really challenging
times and this is when the Uni-
versity of Michigan has a really
good opportunity to excel, to
seek advantage," he said. "When
everyone is hunkering down ...
we should be the most daring
... and be a value to the entire
nation and, of course, the world."

at Barwis Methods, a training
facility in Plymouth, Mich. that
attracts University athletes and
employees. At the Barwis Meth-
ods booth, Mozes, a former Min-
nesota Viking, and Cooke, who
played for the Baltimore Ravens,
Chicago Bears, and Detroit
Lions, advised fair-goers about
exercise, fitness and nutrition.
Another main attraction of
the event was the farmers mar-
ket, which sold an abundance of
seasonal fall produce - ranging
from Indian corn, to butternut
squash to apples - supplied by
Zilke Vegetable Farm in Milan
and Eat Ideas Farm in Ann
Arbor.
Lizz Wysocki, an employee
at Zilke Vegetable Farm, said
the market was lucky to feature
apples because of the shortage
that Michigan has faced this
year as a result of a warm winter
and frost in April.
"It's unfortunate," Wysocki
said. "We were lucky to find an
(orchard) which had some. The
late frost that we had just really
kicked everything."
The fair also included a live
cooking demo from the Picasso
Restaurant group, a local res-
taurant and catering service that
showcased how to make gazpa-
cho using fresh, seasonal veg-
etables. Other booths showcased
various campus organizations,
such as Outdoor Adventures.
Local Ann Arbor organizations
also attended, including a group
from the Matthaei Botanical
Garden and Nichols Arboretum.
University students, fac-
ulty and staff trekked through
the fair, browsing booths and
indulging in free giveaways.
Fang Tan, a Law School pro-
fessor, said her curiosity about
health-oriented opportunities
on campus drew her to the fair.
"I just wanted to see what was
going on, to see what they were
offering here, (and I wanted)
more information," Tan said.
Law student Iman Abdulraz-
zak said she was lured by the
unusual location of the fair in a
typically academic area of cam-
pus.
"I actually thought it was nice
they were doing something like'
this in the Law School." Abdul-
razzak said.

OHIO
From Page 1A
Press.
Electoral history and experts
suggest that the campaigns'
emphasis on Ohio is warranted.
Since John F. Kennedy lost the
state in the 1960 presidential elec-
tion, no one has been elected pres-
ident of the United States without
winning Ohio's electoral votes.
Obama leads Romney in Ohio 53
to 43 percent in a poll released by
Quinnipac University yesterday in
conjunction with CBS News and
The New York Times.
Issues that Obama has touted
as successes, including the rebirth
of the auto industry, have proved
important to voters here. Accord-
ing to NBC, 57 percent of Ohioans
who might vote said they didn't
think Romney cared about their
needs, and 51 percent thought
Obama could better handle the
economy.
Michael- Heaney, an assistant
professor of political science,
called the state a "linohpin" for
Romney, emphasizing that he
needs to win the state in order to
win the presidency. He added that
while the state is still important
for Obama he could win the elec-
tion with a coalition of electoral
votes from other states such as
Virginia, Iowa and Colorado in
place of Ohio.
"There are multiple paths for
(Obama) to win the election, and
those paths may or may not include
Ohio," Heaney said. "For Obama,
Ohio is one of the states that could
put him over the top, whereas for
Mitt Romney, it's really hard to
see how he could win the election
without winning Ohio."
Heaney noted that of all the
swing states, Ohio offers the sec-
ond most electoral votes at 18,
behind Florida with 29.
Not only does Ohio serve as
a substantial boost in the total
electoral count for a president, it
is a "bellwether state" that tends
to reliably reflect the rest of the
undecided sectors of the nation,
Heany said.
"Ohio is the state that is most
likely to make a difference in the
election. If there's going to be
one state that swings the election
from one candidate to another, it's
going to be Ohio," Heaney said. "It
reflects the trend in the nation."
Heaney said one explanation
for Obama's lead in Ohio may be
that the state's economic recovery
has been slightly better than the
national average.
Ohio's unemployment rate was
reported at 7.2 percent in August,
the lowest unemployment rate
in the state since 2008. The AP
reported that Ohio's unemploy-
ment rate has steadily remained
1-percent less than the national
rate, and the number of unem-
ployed residents in Ohio decreased
by 5,000 from July to August.
Political Science Prof. John
Chamberlin said Ohio will contin-
ue to receive national mediasatten-
tion and become a state indicative
of who will win the election.
"Republicans are not runtning
ads in Michigan and Pennsylva-
nia so they can throw money into
Ohio," Chamberlin said. "It is
going to be one of the places that
absorb a huge amount ofcampaign
money and time. People will be
polling like crazy in Ohio and we'll
start to see those results in the
next ten days."
Though they didn't campaign
together in Toledo, Romney and
his running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul
Ryan (R-Wisc.) have held other
rallies together this week, sug-
gesting that Republicans have
realized they need to double their
effort in Ohio, Political Science
Prof. Michael Traugott said.
"We can tell generally in acam-
paign about the importance of a
particular state by how much the
candidates spend on advertising,
how much of their personal time
they spend there, and the signifi-
cance of Ohio is much more impor-
tant for Romney and that's why
both he and Paul Ryan are cam-
paigning there," Traugott said.
Traugott said Romney is
already facing a tougher chal-
lenge, because polling suggests
Ohio seems to prefer Obama's
policies.
"For Romney, it's a more dif-
ficult task because his standard
advertising message doesn't seem
to be very influential for the voters
in Ohio," Traugott said. "In addi-
tion to the personal appearances
that he makes, he's going to have
to revise his message somehow."
When the polls open on Elec-
tion Day on Nov. 6, up to 40 per-
cent of the country will have
already voted, according to CNN.
Ohio begins its early voting pro-
cess - in which certain states
allow in-person or mail-in voting
before Nov. 6 - on Oct. 2.
Obama campaign spokesman
Adam Fetcher told CNN that the
Obama campaign realizes the
potential benefit of getting people
to cast their votes early.
"While Mitt Romney and his
allies are counting on big ad buys
... we've made earlyinvestments in
battlegroundstates - where we've,
been registering folks and keeping
an open conversation going with
undecided voters for months - to
build a historic grassroots organi-
zation that will pay off when the
votes are counted," Fetcher said.
In their visits yesterday, both
candidates said the electoral bat-
tle for Ohio could them win the
political war for America's future.
Speaking to a crowd at the
SeaGate Convention Centre in
Toldeo, Romney said the policies
he would bring to the oval Office
are very different than Obama's.
Romney said he could save
voters from the pitfalls of anoth-
er four years under the Obama
administration. Speaking in Lucas
County - where NBC reports 18
percent of the population lives
below the poverty level, and a
median household income is about
$42,000 - Romney said he would
address the economic despair of
the middle class if elected.
"Do you want four more years,
where half our kids coming out
of college can't find a college level
job? Do you want four more years
of trillion dollar deficits?" Romney
asked. "If President Obama were
to be re-elected, what we'd see is
four more years like the last four
years, and we can't afford another
four more years."
Romney said his policy plat-
forms will lead America down a
more prosperous path and gener-
ate much-needed change for the
nation.
"I will take America in a very
different direction than this presi-
dent,' Romney said. "This election
comes down to a choice. It comes
down to a choice of path. His
campaign slogan is "forward" -
forward with the same ideas, the
same approach as he's had the last
four years."
Earlier in the day iri a raucous
rally here, Obama said he too rec-
ognized very different realities
for America's future depending
on which candidate is chosen in
November.
During Wednesday's speech at
BGSU, Obama said that because
of personal experience he deeply
valued higher education.
"Education was my gateway to
opportunity," Obama said. "That's
the only reason I'm standing here.
It's the path more than ever to a
middle-class life.
Caitlyn Fuller, a senior at BGSU
and a life-long resident of Bowling
Green, said she came to the event
to support the President, who she
finds to be more relatable than
Romney.
"He's just really, really wealthy,
and I'm notsure how in touch he is
with Ohio,"'Fuller said.
In an interview with The Michi-
gan Daily following the president's
speech yesterday, White House
Press Secretary Jay Carney said
Obama's visit to Ohio shows his
commitment to working families.
"The President is committed to
the people taking these auto bail-
outs," Carney said.
Speaking to the crowd at BGSU,
Obama said he was proud of
defending the auto industry, an
effort he said his opponent chid-
ed, alluding to a 2008 New York
Times Op-ed written by Romney
titled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt."
"When my opponent just said
we should, 'Let Detroit go bank-
rupt,' that would have meant
walking away from an industry
that supports one in eight Ohio
jobs," Obama said.
Obama said he already had the
country heading in the right direc-
tion - forward, like his campaign
slogan.
"Today, the American auto
industry has come roaring back
with nearly 250,000 new jobs,"
Obama said. "Now you've got
a choice. We can give more tax
breaks to companies that are ship-
ping jobs overseas or we can start
rewarding companies for open-
ing new plants and training new
workers and creating jobs right
here in the United States."
Obama said that unlike Rom-
ney, he would be a president for
all, citing the recent exposure of a
speech made by Romney to donors
in May that claimed 47 percent
of Americans are dependent on
the federal government and view
themselves to be victim.
"I don't believe we can get very
far with leaders who write off half
the nation as a bunch of victims
who never take responsibility for
their own lives," Obama said. "As
I drive around Ohio and as I look
around, I don't see a bunch of vic-
tims, I see hard-working Ohio-
ans."
In Toledo, Romney admitted
Obama cares, but said the presi-
dent's good intentions are mis-
placed.
"Look, I know the President
cares about America, the people
of this country," Romney said.
"He just doesn't know how to help
them. I do."
