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 PRINTING operations of newspapers are inefficient because the printing plant in only in use half the day. By producing a morning 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." $40.00 OFF All 18K Gold Rings I I What's happening around Ann Arbor Campus Cinema Shoah (Part II) (Claude Lanzmann, 1985) Hill St., 6p.m., Mich.

Students analyze political spectrum (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.
