2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, July 9, 2001 .1 JAYE Continued from Page 1 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. "Anytime you have somebody GOLD DUST WOMAN who's gone through havingr been expelled ... I think the q majority will not want to see hime go back," s - Bill Rustem Public Sector Consultants Senior Vice President 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 GOP caucus. Stevie Nicks performs at Pine Knob Saturday night.

II HOLIDAY Continued from Page 1 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 doesn't normally celebrate Indepen- dence Day since she is from Puerto NCAA Continued from Page 1 system when the Management Counci meets in Monterey, Calif., July 23-24. "We'll do some fine-tuning," Bates said. "There will be some tinkering witi SAT/ACT scores and their role in the slid. ing scale. "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.
