8 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, August 7, 1996 CONVENTION Continued from Page 1. TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows Clinton leading nationally by 18 points. American political science Prof. Michael Traugott said although the polls reflect a substantial Clinton lead, Dole still has a chance to win the election. "There is a strategic set of actions (Dole) can do to win but (he is) unlike- ly to do it," Traugott said. Traugott said Dole has already lost the votes of moderate Republican women because of his approach to abortion rights. "He is responding to the conservative right wing on abortion," Traugott said. "He already gave away black and minority voters by not attending the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) con- vention." There has also been much specula- tion about Dole's choice for his run- ning mate. For the past several weeks, several governors, including Michigan Gov. John Engler, have been in close contact with members of the Dole campaign. Engler is scheduled to speak on the first day of the convention. Traugott said the ideal vice-presiden- tial candidate would be someone from the Midwestern region of the country because "Republicans have traditional- ly thought elections are won or lost in the midwest." Bruce Smith, senior fellow emeritus at the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C., said the convention should provide at least a 10-percent boost in the polls for Dole. "The convention always gives the party a boost. The problem is that if the Republicans think (the race) is over, then people will think it's over," Smith said. The convention is expected to focus on "'real people' in celebration of Republican ideas and achievements." Former Presidents George Bush and Gerald Ford, U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich.), and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) are also scheduled to speak at the convention. Rep. Susan Molinari (R-N.Y.), a pro- choice advocate, is the keynote speaker and is scheduled to speak on the second day of the convention. NEWS HOSPITAL Continued from Page 1 the Medical Center's rankings will slip because of its downsizing. The Medical Center is currently undergoing major transitions in all sec- tors. In April, Medical Center officials unveiled a 3-year, $200 million plan to downsize due to the pressures of man- aged care companies. In July, John Forsyth, Health System president, surprised many when he announced his resignation. One week later, Giles Bole, Medical School Dean also announced that he would step down from his post and rejoin the faculty. The University is reviewing options to restructure the Medical Center. A pro- posal is expected to be made in the fall. "I don't think the ranking will go down, because the cuts were made in a way so that it will not affect the quality of care," Schneidman said. Wicha said he thinks some of the downsizing actually improves the qual- ity of care. He cited the centralization of the cancer center into the new Cancer and Geriatrics building as an example of possible benefits. AAPD to show June rally video By Will Weissert Daily StaffReporter At the urging of the Ann Arbor City Council, the Ann Arbor Police Department scheduled for Aug. 13 a public viewing of police video tape shot during the June 22 anti-Ku Klux Klan rally. In a similar measure, the Michigan chapter of Jobs With Justice (JWJ), a group that was an "endorser of (June's) anti-klan rally," plans to hold a public hearing Aug. 14 to examine police con- duct during the same rally. "(The public viewing) will be an opportunity for the public to view exactly what occurred during the rally," AAPD Sgt. Phil Scheel said. "We are living up to the promise we made to City Council." Ann Arbor Mayor Ingrid Sheldon said the council requested police organize a public viewing of video shot during the rally to provide more information to members of the public. "We hope to get more information out," she said. "If all of your informa- - INTRAMURAL SPORTS PROGRAM THANKS!!

JWJ members said they hope their hearing will be an opportunity for the public to evaluate in a neutral environ- ment the actions of Ann Arbor police during the rally. "There's something wrong with system where people have to complaiW to the police about the police and have to expect something to get done that way," said Ron Whittenberg, president of JWJ's Michigan Chapter. "The hearing will be an opportuni- ty for people to come in a non-threat- ening environment and say what they've got to say." JWJ also issued personal invitations to Sheldon and all City Council mem- bers to attend the hearing. "We hope get the facts out and let the Cit Council do with those facts what they will," Whittenberg said. Sheldon said she would not be attend- ing the public hearing because she would be out of town, but said open dis- cussions about last month's rally are a good idea. "There's a variety of differ- ent opinions about what happened (dur- ing the rally) out there and differe groups are working through it in diff ent ways' she said. The public viewing of rally video tape is scheduled at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. next Tuesday in council chambers on the sec- ond floor of the municipal building. The JWJ public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. next Wednesday at the U.A.W Local 38 office. ROADWAY PACKAGE SYSTEM PACKAGE HANDLERS PERFECT FOR COLLEGE STUDENT Saving for tuition?
