8 - The Michigan Daily - Monday. July 14. 2003 TA TEWc S CONNERLY Continued from Page 1 action vocally expressed their opposition to initiative. During Connerly's speech, protesters, mostly members of the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action and Integration, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary, held signs and sang chants to express their dissent. "When we heard about it we knew we had to do some- thing' " BAMN member and Education senior Agnes Aleobua said. BAMN is calling for a boycott of all businesses, corpora- tions, and institutions that support the ballot referendum. Many of the organization's members loudly denounced Con- nerly's statements during his speech. Three BAMN members were led away from the event by Department of Public Safety officials after having been warned twice to cease heated protests during the speeches. Students Supporting Affinmative Action member and LSA senior Clair Morrissey said although there are no specific plans to combat the initiative, her group is holding a confer- ence in conjunction with the United States Student Association next weekend to address the issue of organizing ina post-deci- sion environment. The USSA is a national group that advo- cates for students' rights. Despite vocal opposition to Connerly's visit, Review Publish- er and Business junior Michael Phillips said Connerly got his message across effectively. "I feel like the event overall was what was needed to kick off the initiative," he said. Phillips said The Review has not publicly endorsed the initiative. But he said there has been speculation that conservative students on campus may form a group toback the campaign. While campus opinion seems to have divided along party lines, Connerly's initiative has drawn criticism from both Democratic and Republican politicians. the michigan daily s. U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Dearborn) sent a clear message' of disapproval ina letter he sent to Connerly on Friday. "The people of Michigan have a simple message to you: go+ home and stay there. We do not need you stirring up trouble where none exists,"he said in the letter. Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Betty De Vos said in a written statement that the proposed initiative is divisive and counter-productive. "What we need now, and what would be best for our state is to commit ourselves to reducing racial tensions and focus on policy objectives that unite us as Ameri- cans," De Vos said. Future presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) had similar views. "This is, in my opinion, a divi- sive and destructive act and people of all political persuasions should condemn it as such," Lieberman said. He said the act would set back the social justice movement inAmerica. "This kind of inequality is not going to go away with wishful think- ing ... we have not achieved the colorblind society we are meant to be." Connerly said that he and his supporters plan to start local organization of the campaign, including recruiting volunteer and paid staff, developing a fundraising campaign and recruit- ing local support. The signature gathering process will begin on September 1, and will be concluded by early next year. Connerly added his group would attempt to launch the initiative in other states. "Our crusade will not end with the state of Michigan," Connerly said. "The time has come for America to break free from its obsession with classifying and dividing her citizens by race. And the popular revolt will begin in Michigan, where a national effort must be mounted to prohibit (the University) and all other entities of govern- ment from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any American citizen because of race, ethaic harlarmnd nv rnninnl niai" TASK FORCE Continued from Page 1 recommendations to the task force. LSA junior Carmel Salhi said what might be needed is a system like Har- vard's, where "a committee meets on a regular basis to study areas of potential conflict between vendors and the Uni- versity's policies." A student think tank that has the input of staff members is another possibility, Salhi added. Director of Business Development for JL Judge Construction Services Raymond Henry provided a different perspective at the forum: that of minority-run businesses. Henry said he would like future changes to policies to reflect the diffi- culties small, minority-run bussinesses have with competing against large, pre- dominantly white-run businesses. He said large businesses have financial and social capital that effectively elimi- nates competition. "Not a single build- ing on this campus has been built or designed by a minority firm ... there are good (minority) architects and firms in Detroit and in the local Southeast Michigan area;' Henry said. The next public forum is scheduled for this fall. After this forum and per- haps other information gathering ses- sions, Coleman said the task force should report back to her no later than the end of fall term.
