that Gov. John Engler immediately call a spe-
cial election to fill the seat and to end the
"hostage crisis" imposed on his constituents
due their "taxation without representation."
Jaye said he will run again as a Republican
even though it was fellow GOP legislators
who led the charge to expel him.
He accused two prominent GOP senators,
Dan DeGrow of Port Huron and Thaddeus
McCotter of Livonia, of using his expulsion to
advance their own careers.
He said that because DeGrow and
McCotter, the chairman of the committee
that recommended his expulsion, did not
bring a bill to the Senate floor to reject 40
percent pay raises for themselver and
other elected officials, they needed an
issue to distract voters from the decision.
The pay raises took effect.
McCotter then argued that there were not
enough votes to reject the raises anyway and
thus bringing the matter to a vote was useless.
"DeGrow and McCotter don't want to be
remembered for blocking the votes on the pay
raise," he said.
DeGrow is currently preparing a run for
state attorney general. McCotter is planning to
run for the U.S. Congress.
Since an election to fill his seat cannot be
held until the govemor schedules one - an
action he is not required to take --Jaye's plans
remain in limbo.
Matt Resch, Engler's deputy press secretary,
said the governor had not scheduled an elec-
tion yet. "I would definitely expect that he
would do it. He just has not set a timetable as
to when" he said.
Bill Rustem, a senior vice president with
Lansing-based Public Sector Consultants, said
he expects the governor to call a special elec-
tion but that he has reasons for biding his time.
"I would suspect he has a hand in trying to
select a candidate in the Republican Party that
can beat Jaye,"Rustem said.
Rustem believes Jaye's chances of winning
the GOP primary are about 40 percent and, if
he gets the Republican nomination, even less
in a general election.
"Anytime you have somebody who's gone
through having been expelled ... I think the
majority will not want to see him go back," he
said.
With regards to Jaye's several run-ins with
the law, Rustem remarked, "that kind of stuff
permeates the community."
One question that is so far unanswered is
whether Jaye, if he is reelected, would be
allowed to rejoin the Senate Republican Cau-
cus. Joining a party's caucus is usually
required in order to receive commit e assign-
ments.

For example, when U.S. Rep. James
Traficant (D-Olio) voted to reelect Den-
nis Hastert (R-Ill.) as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, he was effec-
tively booted out of the Democratic cau-
cus. So far, he has not switched over to
the Republicans and has not received any
assignments.
And when U.S. Sen. James Jeffords (I-
Vt.) defected from the Republicans to
become an independent, he announced
that he would "caucus" with the Democ-
rats and thereby retain committee mem-
berships.
But Jaye said that he would try to rejoin the ABBY ROSENBAUM/Daily

friends, said he thinks barbequing on
Independence Day is a pretty standard
thing.
Some students said that while they
enjoyed their day, they missed seeing
fireworks, as the City of Ann Arbor
doesn't put on a show.
"I like fireworks," said Lymari
Lopez-Diaz, a graduate student at Rack-
ham.
She said she would have liked to go
but didn't have a way to get to any of
the cities that put on shows. She did,
however, go for a picnic with a couple
friends and said she enjoyed celebrat-
ing the 4th of July. She added that she

dence Day since she is from Puerto

"We need to set a central bar that gives
athletes reasonable good odds of succeed-
ing academically, and we need to do se
equitably."
He said he does not foresee any changes
in the core course requirements.
The most recent recruiting class o:
Michigan basketball has had difficulty
with the current initial eligibility system.
Kelly Whitney, a 6-foot-8 forward fron
Chicago, did not qualify academically bu
could join the 2002 class if he attends a
prep school this year. JaQuan Hart, a 6-
foot-6 guard from Flint, also has not met
the academic requirements. His chances ti
play for Michigan hinge on his June test
scores. And Chuck Bailey, a 6-foot-7 for
ward from Detroit, did not qualify until hi
raised his test score this spring.
"I would be the first to admit that
Michigan basketball has not done as wel
academically as we want," Bates said.
"Hopefully Coach (Tommy) Amaker will
change that."
Rico.
Some students had an untraditional
holiday.
Julie Tremper spent her day barbe-
quing and learning to ssaterski with
her cousin and some of his friends.
Tremper, who is from Colorado but is
studying at the University's Summer
Language Institute, had never been
waterskiing before and said she had a
lot of fun learning.
As many of his fellow students held
picnics and barbeques and basked in the
sun, LSA junior Travis Lower chose to
celebrate the holiday in a more untadi-
tional manner.
Lower spent his day off school to
watch his father, a jazz pianist, perform
in Muskegon.
Playing with him was none other than
Ray Charles.

Steve Kuzak worked as a bag boy at
a golf course near his Bad Axe hom
during high school and eventually
became an assistant -golf pro. He
worked part time at a golf course
while attending the University.
Donald Kuzak said his son found out
June 28 that he passed his spring term
classes, completing the requirements
needed to graduate with a degree in gen-
eral studies. He planned to pursue a
career in marketing.
"We're very proud of him," Donald
Kuzak said. "We're just a big Michiga

omore.
