Huesmann refused to comment on the allegations, and Goldenberg could not be reached yesterday. "We hope to gain fair and equitable treatment on the same level that his peers are being treated.Thereason he's not receiving that equitable treatment is because hechose tooppose inappro- priate, unethical and perhaps illegal activities," said James Fett, the lawyer representing Friendly in this case. The lawsuit further alleges that Goldenberg and Huesmann retaliated and discriminated against him because they believed he would report their conduct. "They are mad at me for bringing the issue of the spending of the endow- ment fundsinto the open, which hadn't yet been done," Friendly said. If the allegations are proven true, the University could be found guilty of violating the Michigan Whistleblower Protection Act as well as the University'sowncontract-renewalpro- cedures. The Whistleblower Protec- tion Act was established to protect people who report official misconduct or wrongdoing.

NeitherRepublicancandidateSpen- cer Abraham nor Ronna Romney has held elected office. ThesixDemocraticcandidateshave failed to produce a leader and many interest groups have not endorsed. All this makes for aquietcampaign as the Democrats attempt to unseat incumbent Gov. John Engler. However, in the Senate, incumbent DemocratDonaldRiegleJr.is not seek- ing re-election, which puts the seat on the playing field for the challengers. U.S. Rep. Bob Carr (D-Lansing) has come under fire from liberals who question his voting record. Carr voted against the Family Medical Leave Act and has dodged the party line before. "I do have a moderate record. I don't run away from it," Carr said. Ironically, many insiders predict that Can has the best chance to lure Republican voters in the general elec- tion, but he has to impress Democrats in the primary first. State Sen. John F. Kelly (D-De- troit) is a University alum who has continued his education while serving public office. Heis now completing his Ph.D. dissertation in political science and international relations at Wayne State University. He supports a bal- anced budget amendment, arms con- trol and reduced defense spending. Lansing entrepreneurJoelFerguson is also in the running. He has served as East Lansing mayor and a trustee at Michigan State University. The only Democratic candidate to receive an endorsement from a major interest group has been former U.S. Rep. William Brodhead of Bingham Farms. The Michigan Education Asso- ELECTION '94 ciation has given him its approval. State Sen. Lana Pollack (D-An Arbor), also a candidate, said the lac of endorsements is not a major issue She said that focus has been throw the governor's race and that make fund-raising difficult. "It's almost non-issue because it's a level playin field,"she said,referring to the fact tha the other candidates have not garnere many endorsements either. Carl Marlinga rounds out the fiel of Democrats. The Macomb Coun prosecutor places the entire campaig on next Tuesday's election. "The feeling here is whoever the Democratic nomination is likel going to be the next senator," he said. The two Republican candidate certainly don't agree with Marlinga but first they must battleeachother for their party's nomination. Spencer Abraham is far from a po- liticalnovice despite hislackofelected experience. He chaired the Michig Republican Party from 1983-90 o served as deputy chief of staff for Vice President Dan Quayle.
