Riding for freedom
BY KELLY THAYER
The Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living is sponsoring the New
Freedom Ride, a rally in support of state and national civil rights for peo-
ple with disabilities, today at 3 pm in the Diag.
The Ride will begin in front of the Graduate Library, where "two hun-
dred to a thousand people from throughout Michigan and northern Ohio"
are expected to assemble, said Verna Spayth, Advocacy Coordinator at the
Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living.
Following a speech by Spayth, the Ride will proceed from the Diag to
State Street, down Liberty Street, and will reassemble at the Federal
Building. Portions of both streets will be blocked off.
Speeches and music will take place at about 5 pm at the Federal
Building. Senator Lana Pollack and Detroit Free Press columnist Jim
Neubacher are expected to speak on the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA).
The ADA proposes national standards to eliminate discrimination in
the use of public services by people with disabilities. Congress is ex-
pected to vote on the act this year.
Protesters sentenced
BY DIANE COOK
The June 20 sentencing for two University graduate students convicted
last month of disturbing the peace at the inauguration of James Duderstadt
left one with a jail term.
In a pre-sentencing meeting with a probation officer, Michael Fischer
agreed to pay a $180 fine and serve 72 hours of community-service
through the Guild House.
Although Sandra Steingraber was offered the same deferred sentence,
she said she "was unable, with her conscience, to contribute her money or
free labor to support a system that was unjust and a charge I am not
guilty of."
Steingraber, who was acquitted of assault and battery charges, will
serve 10 days in the Washtenaw County jail beginning July 28.
