Start with Schor
If students vote for anyone in the Michigan Student Assembly elections, they should check the box for LSA representative Andy Schor first. Schor has all the qualities of an excellent representative - as well as a solid understanding of the assembly's role in student life. He left the Wolverine Party to work as an independent, and placed himself in prime position to help students. Schor previously served as the chair of the External Relations Committee, concentrating lobby efforts against cuts in federal financial aid, such as Pell grants and direct student loans.
Extremists win, peace falters
Historians will look back upon the Arab-Israeli peace process of the early 1990s and note two monumental events - one for its great offer of hope, the other as a dark harbinger of turmoil. These events: The Arafat-Rabin handshake in 1993 and the attacks perpetrated by Hamas on Israeli civilians in the winter of 1996. The handshake, and the Oslo Accords that preceded it, not only established a framework for peace, they created a generation of young Israelis ready, even expecting, peaceful relations with their neighbors - Israelis who viewed Yitzhak Rabin not as the brilliant and calculating military strategist most Israelis knew, but as a visionary of peace.
