8-The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, May 17, 1995 State reps criticize 'U' reputation in Lansing By Spencer Dickinson Daily Staff Reporter When State Senator Alma Wheeler Smith joined Ann Arbor Representatives Liz Brater and Mary Schroer to address faculty members on Monday, the three Democrats wamed that the University was doing a poor job selling itself in Lansing. "There is a sense (in Lansing) that this is a bastion of liberalism," Brater , said. Schroer added that her colleagues called the citizens of Ann Arbor "not real people who are out of touch with the state because they have received everything on a silver platter." The state House voted to withhold an increase in the University's appropriations because the number of non-residents has risen above 30percent. Smith (D-South Lyon) said "there is an out"of the sanctions. She criticized the University for failing to respond to the leg- islation, saying a planto put the ratio back in balance or even an explanation for the excess non-resident enrollment would have appeased her colleagues. She specifically targeted University President James J. Duderstadt. "I was in office four months before I heard from (Duderstadt)," she said. "He's not smooth when dealing with people with whom you have to compromise." "He doesn't do a much better jobhere," said Senate Advisory Commmittee on Uni- versity Affairs member Lou DeLacey. He added the University was represented in Lansing by an administration he called "a small, not very representative group." Smith said she heard from Michigan State University's President M. Peter MacPhearson two weeks after she took office. All three said they had received nu- merous communications-from both the ad- ministration and faculty of Michigan State, a school they agreed exemplified good public relations. Vice President for University Rela- tions Walter Harrison said antagonism to- ward the University was to be expected. "It's not too different from flagship uni- versities in a lot of states," Harrison said. Schroer closed by calling on faculty to do their part in improving relations. "Bring the knowledge out of the strato- sphere of academia," she said. Smith assured the faculty the Univer- sity was still respected. "You are still the school of choice, but you need to show us how accessible you are," she said. tmitial tor success h-' VENDORS Continued from page 1 on the corner of South University and East University for $1100 in order to protecthimself against theunfair compe- tition that resulted from street vendors. "The city is holding the merchants as hostages to their own sidewalks. If people understood how easy it is to get a permit to sell on the sidewalks, the city would be at war," Ladd said. The South University Merchants As- sociation has hired an attorney to fight the city against the permit policy. The street vendors in Ann Arbor argue thatunfair competition would only occurif they were no longer allowed to sell. Christopher Lauckner, who has been selling original postcards for4 1/2 years outside of Michigan Book and Supply, says that street vending gives small busi- nessmen the opportunity to earn a living. "I don't think it's a vendor problem. It costs a lot of money to start a business in Ann Arbor - that would leave most of us out in the cold," he said. Steve Schindler, store manager of Michigan Book and Supply said he sup- ports the street vendors in front of his store. "We keep it pretty much under con- trol. They don't take up too much spacl and they are not obnoxious street ven- dors," Schindler said. Ellie Serras, a member of the Main Street Association, said that she is working to create an equitable situation between vendors and the business community. "This is not an adversarial kind of thing," Serras said. "Everyone in Ann Ar- bor is a small businessman and if anyone understands how hard it is, the merchants in Ann Arbor do."
