The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 13, 1986-Page 5 'U' to share area study centers with 25 By MELISSA BIRKS Students and faculty fr colleges around the nation n using the University's six Western area study centers1 plement their studies in a pr beginning this summer. "It's primarily a program will make accessible to stude faculty the remarkable resour have here," said John Eadie, director for the Program for It stitutional Collaboration in Studies. THE UNIVERSITY'S si: Western area studies pro focus on Japan, the Soviet Un Eastern Europe, China, Sou Southeast Asia, the Near Ea Africa. "No University even comes the resources we have," Eadie At least three professor already been offered fello allowing them to utilize theI sity's resources during a h, sabbatical or a shorter stay. TI five professors may participa year. WHILE IN the prograr visiting faculty members granted nearly one-half their salary through the program's according to William Kinca program's executive director.

According to Robert Stauffer, s have a sociology prof. at Kalamazoo wships College, the program will benefit Univer- smaller colleges with limited resour- alf-year ces in non-Western studies. Three to Stauffer noted that Kalamazoo te each college has no non-Western study programs. "With what's going on in the m, the world, Asia is an economic com- will be petitor, it's becoming more important annual to incorporate that in the grants, curriculum." aid, the STAUFFER added that faculty at s aimed Kalamazoo College are receptive to visiting the idea, and that one Indian studies tnd nation professor has already applied for a fellowship. The program can potenially alter and add to other colleges' curricula through the interaction with Univer- sity professors, who will then have the opportunity to visit the other cam- puses. The program may also "promote increased concern of the non-West," in smaller schools, Stauffer said. Faculty members involved with the program consider the interaction with other colleges to be the program's greatest asset. They say the Univer- sity is the best place to start such a program because smaller institutions lack similar facilities. "AT A research university with the quality of University of Michigan, the area centers certainly reflect the quality that the university is generally regarded as having," Kin- caid said. The faculty members who are gran- ted awards from the program, which is supported in its first five years by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, the Pew Trust, and the Ford Foundation, will have to meet certain requiremen- ts. According to Kincaid, detailed ap- plications have not yet been prepared but he said that professors will receive fellowships if they are coming here for research-oriented work that will have an impact on curriculum at their own school.

PIRGIM's funding proposal questioned Protest had ended, demonstrators say (Continued from Page 1) than half of the student population. PIRGIM has so far collected about 10,000 signatures since the signature drive began last month, according to Gary Kalman, a member of PIRGIM. They need about 17,000 signatures. But Deane Baker said "Even if every student signed it, the regents could still turn it down." IN 1981 and 1983 PIRGIM petitioned for a refusable/refundable system, but the request was turned down by the regents. A six-member faculty committee appointed by PIRGIM last year to study possible funding systems released a report Monday advocating the refusable/refundable system. "The core of PIRGIM's survival as a student-directed organization is the students' collective decision to im- plement a fee for PIRGIM," the report said. THE REPORT also noted that while 54 percent of PIRGs nationwide that had used the positive checkoff donation system were discontinued between 1980 and 1985, only 18 percent of those funded by the negative checkoff fee were discontinued. Regent Thomas Roach, an attorney, said yesterday, "The only kind (of system) that would be legal is a positive checkoff. You must check a box yes." Roach also said PIRGIM has a "very difficult course ahead of them in a view of the way the court has handled the issue." Regent James Waters, also an at- torney, agreed with Roach and Baker and predicted that "the majority of the board will not support" (PIRGIM), even if the group lobbies for the positive checkoff system. Waters noted that over the years, Regent support of PIRGIM has waned. The remaining six regents were not available for comment. (Continued from Page 1) strators leaving a protest against Lawrence Livermore Labs. Johnson would not comment on exactly why the protesters had been followed, and police and security of- ficials have also declined to say why. Protester Ingrid Kock, an LSA senior who is the Michigan Student Assembly's military researcher, said Heatley had no reason to believe the protesters would carry their demon- stration elsewhere. "HE'S lying," she said. Kock said she had mentioned how cold it was during the protest against Livermore's recruitment at the engineering placement office at the Stearns Building. The dozen protesters gathered at the Stearns Building on North Cam- pus Friday to protest recruitment by Livermore, one of the nations largest defense contractors. After an hour and a half, the protesters disbanded, some leaving in their cars, others on a University bus. Police and security officers followed the protester back to Central Campus, through campus buildings, and finally to Shapiro's office, where the protesters went to demand an ex- planation for the surveillance. PROTESTER Dmitri Iglitzin, a third-year law student, said the only reason the protesters went to Univer- sity President Harold Shapiro's office was to demand an explanation for and an end to the surveillance. Shapiro promised to look into the matter and assigned the task to John- son. Susan Lipschutz, executive assistant to Shapiro, said her office has not yet received the report on the incident and said she does not know why the protesters were followed. Kock and two representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union tried Monday to speak to the Ann Ar- bor City Council to protest police ac- tions and the videotaping of protesters by security officers, but they were denied the chance to speak until next Monday. MSA passed a resolution Tuesday condemning the actions of the police and security officers, and pledged to put a banner on the Diag demanding Shapiro apologize for the incident.
