Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 28, 1985 LSA dean accepts new term By SEAN JACKSON were pleased that Steiner had accepted tedly in support of the appointment," the offer and feel he has done a good job said Roy Rappaport, a committee an Peter Steiner has accepted in his first term, member and anthropology professor. LSA Dea a second five-year appointment as the Dean of the College according to a memo released yesterday by Billy Frye, vice president for academic af- fairs and provost. Frye, who solicited LSA faculty ap- praisal of the dean in a letter early in the term, said in the memo that the response was favorable. "I am pleased to tell you that the prevailing sentiment was strongly in support of (Steiner's) continuation," the memo said. THE reappointment of the dean will require the approval of the Board of Regents. Frye will make the recom- mendation at the next regent's meeting. Steiner, whose current appointment will expire in June 1986, was reported to be unavailable for comment. Faculty members around the college. "THE DEAN has done a fine job," said Carl Cohen, a philosophy professor. "I think Dean Steiner's fun- damental interest is on the intellectual strength and development of the college," Cohen said, and that is also the thoughts of the faculty,. "He's been a very efficient dean," said Jack Meiland, associate dean for long range planning. "He has excellent control of the budget and he represents college interests very powerfully and strongly at the college level." Meiland also said the dean has been very careful in preserving the college's quality. Frye consulted with the College Executive Committee to find out how to get faculty input. He also requested the committee's assessment of the dean's performance. "THE committee was wholehear- "He's a very effective leader and very efficient dean," said another executive committee member, Deming Brown. "(Steiner) has the welfare of the college very much in heart," he added. "I think he has been excellent in sup- porting ...enhancing the liberal arts in the University," said Albert Feuer wekrer, the history department chair- man. "He is simply dedicated to the good of the college that's what you want in a dean," Meiland said. Frye also asked the faculty of LSA to point out any "special problems" they felt the college would face in the up- coming years. Frye said such topics in- clude finances, undergradute-graduate student relations, demographics, and the declining college age population. Steiner .... accepts second term Junk mail finds its way to all 1 matoxes (Continued from Page 1) parlors, record stores, and copy cen- ters. "We get information from school directories or wherever we can get in- formation," said Lyle Sammons, a spokesman for First National Services, a larger company in Chicago. AND IF students are on one mailing list, they probably are on others. The list vendors will sell the same list to any business, but not to competitors. One way a consumer can trace junk mail back to the same mailing list is to look for similar typographical or spelling mistakes on various adver- tisements. But that isn't always the case. Visa, for instance, puts its new mailing lists through a "merge purge" computer program to eliminate duplication. The names on a new list are knocked out if the names are already on Visa's original list. But if there is a misspelled name in a would-be duplication, then the con- sumer will receive two copies of the mailing, according to Barbara Bain, director of Visa's direct mail marketing in Detroit. JUNK MAIL is ignored by some students, appreciated by others. "I get the ultimate junk mail catalogues because of the magazines I used to get," said Rodney Myers, an LSA freshman. He was particularly angry, he said, when a free sample box of female personal products arrived ir his mail one day. "That's one of my pet peeves," added Cynthia Urbytes, an LSA senior. "I don't need the hassle of junk mail." She said she avoids subscribing to magazines in order to prevent her name from getting on mailing lists. But junk mail isn't a hassle - but a pleasure in fact - for some students. "At least that way we get some mail," laughed LSA sophomore Pat Beaubien about all of the advertising that she finds in her East Quad mailbox. RentaCar IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports NATO urges U.S. space research LUXEMBOURG-NATO defense ministers yesterday urged the United States to move ahead with research on a space-based missile defense and said the program is in the Western alliance's security interests. Caspar Weinberger, the U.S. defense secretary, said he was "extremely pleased" by the allies' support for the research, which the Soviet Union has said would start an arms race in space. The ministers, in a closing statement at their regular spring strategy session, also pledged to continue installation of 572 medium range nuclear missiles in Western Europe unless an arms control pact is reached at the U.S.-Soviet talks in Geneva. Lord Carrington, the NATO secretary-general, disclosed for the first time that 134 of the U.S. cruise and Pershing 2 missiles had been deployed in Europe, including 16 cruise missiles in Belgium earlier this month. Carrington gave no other breakdown of the deployments. NATO previously had kept the figures secret. Police can't shoot unarmed suspects, Supreme Court says WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court, in a ruling that will affect policies in 25 states, said yesterday police officers cannot shoot to kill to stop an unar- med and non-dangerous suspect. The court, voting 6-3, struck down Tennessee's fleeing felon privision allowing police to use deadly force if necessary to prevent a suspect from escaping. "A police officer may not seize an unarmed, non-dangerous suspect by shooting him dead." Justice Byron White wrote for the court. "It is not bet- ter that all felony suspects die than that they escape. Twenty-five states allow use of deadly force to stop suspected felons who ignore police orders to halt. But about two-thirds of the metropolitan police departments in those states already restrict use of deadly force to violent crimes or life-threatening situations. Wednesday's ruling stemmed from the shooting death of an unarmed 15- year-old black Memphis youth suspected of committing a $10 burglary in Oc- tober 1974. Hijacker surrenders to Turks ISTANBUL, Turkey-A lone hijacker seized a Lufthansa jetliner en route from West Germany to Greece yesterday and forced it to fly to Istanbul. He released the passengers and surrendered to authorities, the semi-official Anatolia agency reported. There were believed to be at least 141 passengers, but government and airline officials gave conflicting tallies. Lufthansa officials said the jet was diverted one hour and 25 minutes after it left Munich, West Germany, and one hour before it was due to arrive in Athens. They said the man had demanded to be flown to Libya in the jetliner. A security official at Istanbul's Yesilkoy airport said Turkish authorities had refused the hijacker's request that the plane be refueled. Anatolia said the man gave up at the airport two hours after he freed all the passengers and six of the plane's crew members. It said he kept the pilot, co-pilot, and flight engineer hostage until the end Turkish state radio reported the release of the passengers an hour after the Boeing 727 touched down in IstanbuL High Court splits on nativity vote WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court divided evenly yesterday to uphold a ruling that a city may not ban the display of a Nativity scene on public land simply by saying it unconstitutionally promotes religion. This was the second day in a row that found the justices voting 4-4 to uphold lower court rulings in key cases on their docket this term. The deadlock arose because Justice Lewis Powell, who was out for three months recovering from surgery for prostate cancer, did not participate in the case. He has missed arguments in more than 50 cases since January. Thus far, he has not participated in deciding 13 cases. When a Supreme Court vote ends in a tie, it upholds the ruling of the last court to decide the case but makes no nationwide law, raising the prospect of a similar case reaching the high court. The tie vote in the Scarsdale, N.Y. creche case-one of the major church- state cases on the high court's agenda-upholds the decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in states that court covers. Geneva arms talks commence GENEVA, Switzerland-U.S. and Soviet negotiators held their first working session on strategic nuclear weapons yesterday as Moscow warned that congressional approval of 21 more MX missiles presented "new logjams" at the talks. The meeting, lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes, was held at the U.S. delegation offices on the eighth floor of a building overlooking Lake Geneva. The U.S. side issued a brief statement with routine details on thelocation and length of the meeting, the first working session on strategic weapons. But the Soviet delegation issued an unusual formal statement saying the talks must center on measures to prevent an arms race in space. The session came one day after the House of Representatives handed President Reagan a narrow victory on the MX missile, voting 219-213 to 'authorize spending $1.5 billion this year to build an additional 21 MX missiles. The Senate approved funding last week. i 4 : I from Econo-Car we rent to 19 YR. OLD STUDENTS! Choose from small economical cars to vans.
