Architecture prof
The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 15, 1986 - Page 3t
denied credit or his memorial
By MARC CARREL
A University professor whose
amemorial design won first prize and
$20,000 in a Kent State University
memorial contest is being disqualified
because he is not an American citizen.
Architecture Prof. Ian Taberner, a
Canadian, said Kent State President
Michael Schwartz told him that ile
will be disqualified, although he has
not yet been officially contacted.
TABERNE R was notified two
weeks ago that his design won the con-
test, which attracted almost 700 en-
trants. The memorial will com-
memorate four Kent State students
who were killed by National Guar-
dsmen during an anti-war protest on
May 4,1970.
Taberner's design will still be used
for the memorial, but he will have no
input into its construction and he will
receive no credit for the design.
Taberner said he is "deeply
depressed" over the disqualificaton.
"The realization of the memorial is in
jeopardy. I am concerned for the
memorial, because as the designer I
no longer have input into the project I
designed," he said.
TABERNER said he read over the
rules before entering the contest, but
he didn't see the stipulation that all
contestants must be American
citizens. When Taberner noticed the
rule while preparing for an interview
on ABC's Good Morning America, he
contacted Schwartz.
Schwartz told him two hours later
that he would probably be
disqualified, and that the award and
credit for the design would be given to
Michael Fahey, of Brooklyn, New
York, who was named as Taberner's
partner on the project, but he said he
contributed a "minimal amount of
work" to the project.
Taberner also worked with 10 of his
graduate students and five assistants
on the design.
TABERNER was informed by Sch-
wartz two nights ago that he could
have no input at all into the project,
which won the competition
unanimously. Taberner said,
however, that he takes "100 percent
responsibility" for the problem, and
does not blame anyone at Kent State
for his mistake.
Fahey, who has known Taberner
since they attended the Pratt Institute
in Brooklyn six years ago, is a
freelance architect in the New York
area. He said he and Taberner have
agreed to give the $20,000 award
money to the foundation constructing
the memorial.
FAHEY SAID he first learned of
Taberner's disqualification last week
when Taberner contacted him, and
Schwartz called him soon after.
"Schwartz won't recognize Ian at
all," he said.
Schwartz would not comment on the
matter, but Kent State spokesman Joe
Durbin said, "The rules stipulated
that you needed to be an American."
Because the design was technically
submitted jointly by Taberner and
Fahey, Kent State will keep the
design, and first prize will be awarded
solely to Fahey.
Taberner is currently a U.S.
resident, and he applied for American
citizenship in 1984. He has worked as
the William Muschenheim Fellow at
the University since September 1985.

the newspapers.
"THE PRINTING operations of
newspapers are inefficient because
the printing plant in only in use half

newspaper and an afternoon
newspaper at one plant, there will be
greater efficiency," Stevens said.
Stevens said joint operating
agreements don't always last. "Some
newspapers enter into agreements,
find out it doesn't work, and go back to
publishing independently."

(Continued from Page 1)
Irene Wassel, an LSA junior,
theorized that conservatives are more
satisfied with the status quo and are
therefore less likely to participate in
campus politics. Liberals, on the
other hand, are more anxious to im-
plement change, she said.
Wassel also proposed that, in
general, students are conservative on
economic issues and liberal on social
issues.
NEITHER Rose nor Wassel think
the study proves that campus leaders
don't represent student interests.
According to MSA President Kurt
Muenchow, "Students at largeare
more conservative than campus
leaders. As a rule, campus leadership
is skewed to the left - not a lot, but
just slightly."
"People who are concerned and
willing to put in the work and the time
tend to be more liberal," said Muen-
chow, who classifies himself as a
liberal Democrat.
