She said she relates to people who have trouble paying tuition, as she recalls her own experience of paying her way through school. She added that she opposes private school vouchers, believing they are unconstitutional and drain money from the nation's public schools. "Vouchers keep on sucking the lifeblood out of schools," Rivers said. Dingell has also fought against school vouchers in the past, most recently in the passage of President Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act" last December, in which he and other Democrats fought against conserva- tives who advocated cuts in public education funding. "(Republicans) tried their best to load this education bill with extremist proposals, but their ideas were rejected," Dingell said earlier this year. "Democrats held the line and our nation's public schools and students are the winners." With corporate responsibility becoming such big issue this year following the exposure of dishonest practices in companies such as the Enron and WorldCom corporations, Rivers said other members of Congress must now support such issues as barring auditing firms from per- forming both audit and consulting work for the same companies, as well as pursing investiga- tions of businessmen who have committed mis- deeds. If the Democrats retake control of the House this November, Dingell would again become chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has conducted many of the investigations into the various business scandals. He served as its chairman until 1995, when the GOP took control of the chamber, but remains the top Democrat on the panel. "I think that Congress is going to have to use the bully pulpit to keep the pressure on for prose- cution of the people that were involved in all of these situations," Rivers said. Dingell has also called for more honest and stricter accounting practices for companies. "If we don't have honest accounting we can be in the same situation where the Japanese and some of the countries in the East and even in Europe are-where they don't know what they have," Dingell said. In the wake of Sept. 11, homeland security has become another important issue in Con- gress. Both Rivers and Dingell support several parts of President Bush's plan to create a new department of homeland security, but at the same time are concerned about many provisions which could go into the bill, including violations of civil rights and the term "national security."Rivers said she is opposed to clauses which will forbid document from the new department to be obtained by the Freedom of Information Act. She also opposes not giving benefits to civil servants in the new department. "We shouldn't just automatically rubber stamp or agree to things just because somebody said it's national defense," Rivers said. Dingell also has a legacy of supporting civil rights legislation including the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964 and 1990. The winner of the primary will likely face Dear- born Republican Martin Kaltenbach, who is run- ning unopposed for the nomination, in the Nov 5 general election. 4 4 I Ga ro Cafe Ambrosi4 326 MaynardSt jreat Cofe Great Prwces JEsyresso Cayyucciiw lrea -asWfes Miondaiy -yrtdiiy 8 - ioTPfM SMOKING Continued from Page 1. relatiouship. "I wouldn't believe it," said an LSA senior who wished to remain anony- mous because of her medical condition. She described herself as a social smoker and added that she has been diagnosed with depression and is cur- rentlytaking Prozac. "Smoking is something you pick up socially," she said. "You smoke because you want to:' Still many students said they would not be surprised if smoking was some- how connected with depression. "I wouldn't be surprised, with all the stuff put in cigarettes, if some odd chemical was linked to causing depression," said Ann Arbor resident Elizabeth Johnson, a 6-year smoker. "I think it's possible that smoking causes depression." However, Johnson added that she believes it is likely depression could make people more inclined to smoke. "I smoke when I'm depressed," she said. Pomerleau said if the relationship between smoking and depression is causal, it is most likely that depressed people use nicotine to briefly relieve a "blue feeling" prompted by depression. "To know that smoking causes depression makes me just be like, 'oh, another negative effect!" 4 - Haejin King LSA senior But many say the study will not affect their habits, regardless of the results. " I know there are so many negative factors in smoking. To know that smok- ing causes depression makes me just be like, 'Oh, another negative effect!' said LSA senior Haejin King, who has been smoking for over a year. "It wouldn't affect me in any big way." Pomerleau said the study is not being done to deter people from smoking but instead to improve medical knowledge of the relationship. "The implication of this study is to better advise smokers with a history of 4 depression," he said. "We're trying to better understand them. This is a study of individuals." tiW wQ y < 3::.
