Social Sociologist
Sandra Levitsky is assistant pro-
fessor of sociology and has been
working at the University since
her postdoctoral research fellow-
ship in 2006.
What's different about
Michigan as compared to your
experiences at other
Big Ten schools?
Go Blue! I taught at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin and UCLA.
Each has a very different flavor.
Wisconsin shares with Michi-
gan the love of education. Peo-
ple are really hard working and
earnest in getting a good educa-
tion. It's hard at UCLA because
you're right by the ocean and
people are coming to class in
flip-flops. Students are a little
different in that respect, but a
lot of students are also first-gen-
eration students who are getting
their education there. They're a
very different type of student
to teach-families who have
never had anyone go to college
before. Michigan has a much
more privileged group, and the
best and the brightest here. It's
a pleasure to teach the students
here because they're engaged in
a way I have not seen before.
How has Michigan
impacted your work?
The great thing about Michi-
gan ' is that it's an amazing
intellectual community ... our
colleagues, we just ramp up
the quality of each other's work
to the extent that my work has
deepened and become more
sophisticated is due to being in
an environment where there's a
rich intellectual tradition.
What is your favorite
spot on campus?
I love to be around all coffee
shops. It's a combination of deli-
cious smells, really good snacks
and people just studying and
talking. It's a wonderful combi-
nation that epitomizes the best
of the University.

harsher voting measures
leave 45 dead in Iraq
Proof of citizenship
to be required for
statewide voting
PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona offi-
cials will seek to ban residents from
voting in statewide races if they
can't prove citizenship - a move
that critics called vindictive inlight
of a recent U.S. Supreme Court
ruling that said the state couldn't
require such documentationtocast
ballotsfor federal offices.
The change was announced
Monday by Attorney General
TomHorne and Secretaryof State
Ken Bennett, both Republicans.
"Because Arizona law requires
a registration applicant to pro-
vide evidence of citizenship, reg-
istrants who have not provided
sufficient evidence of citizenship
should not be permitted to vote in-
state and local elections," Horne
wrote in an opinion that was
intended to give guidance on how
to conduct the 2014 elections.
The Supreme Court in June
struck down part of a 2004 voter-
approved state law that required
proof of legal U.S. residency to
vote in any Arizona elections.
The only federal offices on Ari-
zona ballots next year will be U.S.
House seats. If Monday's change
isn't overturned through legal
action, residents whohaven't sub-
mitted proof of citizenship won't
be able vote for such offices as
governor, secretary ofstate, attor-
ney general and candidates for
the state Legislature.
On their ballots, "they would
just be getting the offices that
they're eligible to cast their bal-
lots for," Bennett spokesman Matt
Roberts said.
However, Roberts acknowl-
edged that alegal challenge is likely.
"We'll see how this shakes out,
but elections officials don't get to
wait and see. We'll be implement-
ing," he said.
Dan Pochoda, legal director
for the American Civil Liberties
Union of Arizona, called the move
"ludicrous."
"At a minimum, it's a tremen-
dous waste of resources at a time
when people already are having
to wait too long to vote in this
state and it will deter voting for
no good reason other than a vin-
dictive attitude," Pochoda said.
"There certainly appears to be
possible serious concerns about
legality."
