Two students involved in selling anti-University of Michigan T-shirts said they apologized to the campus groups they offended but will not stop selling the shirts.

The flier distributed across campus last week bore the phrase "Wolverines Pack Fudge" above an explicit drawing as an advertisement for the shirts sold online.

Biomedical science junior Carmen Peter and economics junior Charlie Peck said they created the shirts just to make money and weren't expecting the negative backlash they received from Residence Hall Association and the Alliance of Lesbian, Bi, Gay and Transgender Students.

"I'm sorry people took this the wrong way," Peter said.

"We thought it was funny and didn't think people would take it to heart."

Peter and Peck said the four-person business sold more than 200 T-shirts, making about $3,000.

They said because the business, Perpetual Creation, is in debt about $1,000 from printing the shirts, they won't stop selling them.

Peter and Peck said they would be willing to meet with the alliance to discuss selling the rest of the shirts to the alliance to prevent selling more to students.

Alliance President Nat Furrow said her group decided Sunday night to urge administrators to take action against the students.

In a similar request, RHA issued a letter to university officials saying the shirts imply "there is something wrong" with homosexual orientation and the shirts "perpetuated discrimination."

RHA spokesman Brian Winters said the group would appear on the Olin Health Center's radio show on WDBM (88.9-FM) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 28 to discuss the issue with students.

Telecommunication, information studies and media senior Joseph Doss, who was hosting the Web site selling the shirts, said he gave the students the Web space before they decided to use it to sell the shirt.

Doss said he doesn't own a shirt and didn't agree with it.

Furrow said she wanted university administrators, including MSU President M. Peter McPherson, to make public statements denouncing the shirts.

"This campus needs to be a safe place for LBGT students," Furrow said.

"It's the responsibility of the university to enforce that."

Peter and Peck said people were taking the shirt too seriously- it was only meant to be offensive toward U-M fans.

Peter and Peck said they felt the only thing they did wrong was to solicite on campus.

They said they support the alliance, but they also wanted their First Amendment rights respected.

"I support their right to free speech and expression," Peter said. "We'd appreciate it the same courtesy."
