there are a lot of unforeseeable

Talati said. "One that I see is
between the border and what's
going to happen there."
The close proximity to the bor-
der and a change in Canadian drug
laws could have an effect on stu-
dent activities, LSA junior Christy
Flanagan said.
"Maybe more people will choose
to go there so they can smoke with
less risk," Flanagan said.
Flanagan added that she also
believes the proposed legislation
could be beneficial, adding, "They're
still criminalizing the source of the
problem: the people who are smug-
gling and distributing."
Michigan Governor Jennifer
Granholm was unable to comment on
the decriminalization in Canada because
it has not been implemented.
Granholm's spokeswoman, Liz
Boyd, said the governor would def-
initely be against any measures to
decriminalize drugs in her state.
"If there was an effort to decrim-
inalize in Michigan, the governor
would oppose it. We will maintain
(drug) education, prevention, and
law enforcement," Boyd said.

Humes, who received a $1.4 million grant, will be researching and testing a new
therapy for patients who require kidney dialysis.
According to the written statement, Baker will be "(developing) a tiny
drug delivery platform that invades a cancer cell and poisons it from the
inside," with a grant of $1.3 million. After finding out that he had been
awarded a grant for his research, Baker said he was very pleased. We will
be able to take this to commercialization and treat people," he added.
Kipke was awarded $2.21 million for his work to stabilize brain lesions
utilizing natural plastic injected through microcatheters. Aside from the
four research teams granted state funds, two University laboratories were
granted a total amount of $3.7 million.
Many of the researchers said they feel itsis important for the state to contin-
ue to adequately fund the Life Sciences program at the University.
"To get a return for what they originally put in, (the state) is going to need to
keep the program going for awhile," Logsdon said.
Regarding the decrease in state funding for the program, Baker said "...if
we don't do something, we will be left behind."
"Granholm has suggested that (funding) will be $20 million next year," said Bates.

will come on the proposal soon. "It
would help to know what the exact
appropriations would be," she said.
The biggest loss for private universi-
ties will be the dissolution of the tuition
grant program, which gives students at
private universities $2,300 a year for up
to five years. Now, these students
will be in equal competition with
students at public universities.
Currently, 65 percent of state funded
scholarship aid goes to private universi-
ties. With the new program, they will
receive approximately only 25 percent.
Edward Blews, president of the Asso-
ciation of Independent Colleges and
Universities of Michigan, said "We
oppose the proposal because it is very
unfair to Michigan students who choose
(to attend a private university). We sup-
port the preservation of the current
need-based financial aid programs that
have been in place for nearly 40 years."
Private universities cost an average
$7,000 more in tuition than public
schools. This provides enough reason
for private universities to receive more
funding, Blews said.Also, public univer-
sities receive around $1.55 billion in
other areas of funding in areas that
private colleges do not, Blews added.
"It would be very challenging for us
because our students really rely on
those funds to help finance their edu-
cations and the college tries very hard
to... assist the students, but we don't
have the resources to make up that
amount (ourselves) for our students,"
said Associate Director of Financial
Aid at Albion College, Skip Zabel.
So far the proposal has approval from
the state House, but awaits a vote from
the Senate. A decision on the proposal is
expected sometime this summer.
