The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, September 17, 1980--Page 9 Murder probe continues as students seek safety (Continued from Page 17 lies in making students aware of effec- tive protection measures. Beginning y, MSA members will distribute ers on the Diag that describe the cir- cumstances surrounding Sunday's murder, point out particularly "dangerous" areas on, campus, and suggest extra precautions students can take to avoid becoming victims. "Awareness to these things has to hap- pen;" MSA President Marc Breakstone said yesterday. "That is the most tangible immediate course of action we n take. Breakstone said he will meet ith Ann Arbor Police Chief William Corbett tomorrow to discuss the issue of campus security. In addition, an MSA committee, being organzied by MSA member Bruce Brumburg, will attempt to, "look into measures that can in- crease student awareness" of security mveasures they can take. Office of Student Services: Vice- President for Student Services Henry Johnson has called for a noon meeting today with representatives from several campus groups to "try to sit down and develop some strategies." The groups include MSA, University Security, On- and Off-Campus Housing, the Affir- mative Action Office, the Pan-Hellenic Association, and the Fraternity Coor- dinating Council: "I discussed this idea with the executive officers this mor- ning," Johnson said yesterday, "and they said to go ahead and see what we can come up with." He said the group will discuss ways to "better inform students and help counteract their fears." University Credit Union: What would a credit union be doing trying to stop crime? For the last several months,; employee Chet Pawloski said he has had a large box filled with small plastic whistles that are intended to be used in; the case of an attack. Yesterday, he, brought the box out, andedistributed hundreds of whistles to area residents., "I thought this would be a good time to give them out," he said.- University Security: "It would be nice to say that we're going to put 30 or 40 people on overtime," director Walter Stevens said yesterday, "but we just don't have that many people." He ad- ded that even if the security force was large enough, "we don't have any avenues for them to check out." (None of the three recent killings have oc- curred near campus.) Stevens said that his department is working closely with Ann Arbor police, "talking to everybody, and trying to keep people informed." Extra security personnel might be added, according to Stevens, "if this continues, God forbid, and problems occur closer to campus. We will constantly reevaluate our respon- sibility." Walden Hills Apartments (the site where Rebecca Huff was slain early Sunday morning): Residents of this usually-quiet neighborhood held a stormy meeting Monday night with two Ann Arbor police detectives (including Lt. Heath), complaining about deficient lighting, private security forces, and police patrols. "Everybody is really kind of shocked by the viciousness of the crime," said Dan Champion, manager of the property management and sales at the apartment complex. "The women are asking, 'What can we do?"' During the meeting, the detec- tives recommended several safety measures for residents, including in- creased awareness of their neighbors' schedules so unusual occurrances may be detected more quickly. "They realize the chances of this recurring here are minimal," Champion said, "but there are efforts being made." Lt. Heath, who endured a lengthy diatribe by several residents, said the meeting was "productive in the end. I can understand why they were up in arms.' Washtenaw Sheriff's Department: Although this office has not yet been formally asked to join city police inthe investigation, Sheriff Tom Minick acknowleged that he has met with Chief Corbett, who "asked that we be aware of certain specifics involved with the crime." He said the sheriff's depar- tment is "working on a day-to-day cooperative effort" with the Ann Arbor police and sharing whatever infor- mation is needed by its detectives. Also, a confidential telephone line has been established by the department for citizens with any possible leads. The number is 973-7711. Women's Crisis Center: Although this organization is engaged in an ongoing campaign to prevent attacks on area women, the last few days have been unusually hectic. According to spokeswoman Lily Jarman, "We've received a number of calls from women-and men-concerned with-how they can better protect themselves,and what we can advise that they do to make themselves safer." - L NOW OPEN 118 E.

The University Senate Assembly " verwhelmingly passed three "very narrow resolutions regarding course evaluations, said Engineering Prof. Arch Naylor, who is the chairman of the Senate Advisory Committee on Univer- sity Affairs. THE ASSEMBLY also decided to refer a proposed amendment, which would stress faculty approval of evaluations, to a committee for further discussion. The proposed amendment, offered by Education Prof. Loren 4arritt, noted that the other resolutions re not "intended to suggest that faculty members should avoid student evaluations of their teaching," and em- phasized that "evaluations can be help- fuland ._.. are an appropriate source of info'jnation about a faculty member's teaching competence." Naylor also stressed that the resolutions are not intended to put a damper on any efforts-whether from epartments or students-to offer valuations. Rather, he noted, "They (the resolutions) are meant to avoid a situation where a faculty member chooses not to become involved in a particular (course evalation) system. It ' Ionly ha t"owith- that' aspect-we're trying not to discourage student evaluations," Naylor said. Specifically, the resolutions: " insist that academic units cannot require evaluations without the instruc- tor's permission; " require the "explicit consent" of a department or college's governing faculty to offer evaluations; * call for "explicit" policies regar- ding information derived from evaluations. NAYLOR EXPLAINED that faculty members who fail to participate in evaluations could face "judgments" by colleagues who might question the teaching skills of an instructor who refuses to offer evaluations. _ t- r / - I 1 I r r r r .0e " i 1-:' Welcome Students.
