Faculty, students wine and dine The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 24, 1989 - Page 5 Ann- Arbor rapist gets 5 life terms by Taraneh Shafil Daily Faculty Reporter If your professor could be one of the Seven Dwarfs which one would they be and why? Last night residents of West Quad, Betsy Barbour, and Helen Newberry (WQBN) had the opportu- nity to find out the answer to this question and many more as part of "U of M Personally: An Evening for Faculty and Students." The program was designed by the WQBN residence staffs to encourage non-academic relations between fac- ulty and students. "We want students and faculty to feel free to talk to each other as peo- ple," said Patti Carey, LSA senior and West Quad resident advisor. LSA Dean Edie Goldenberg ad- dressed the 36 invited faculty and 90 randomly-selected students from the residence halls in West Quad's cafe- teria: "I hope tonight's event is a beginning of something new." She said she hopes to see the program expand to include other res- idence halls in the future. In fact, inviting professors over to dinner is not that hard. There is a little known University policy that *allows any student living in a resi- dence hall to invite a professor over for a free meal, according to resident advisors. The second half of the program was open to all WQBN residents. After dinner the faculty and students broke up into four groups to get to know each other better. Together faculty and students stood up and sang, "A Boom Chick-a-Boom!" Next followed Microlab, an activ- ity that involves answering ques- tions ranging from "What is your as- trological sign?" to "Would you de- scribe your life as a station wagon, pick-up truck, or sports car, and why?" "What we wanted to do was something big that brought everyone on the same level," said LSA senior Jennifer Lerner, a coordinator of the program. We wanted the faculty to "come learn about what we do here in our multi-cultural living envi- ronment." The program "was very per- sonal," said LSA first-year student Susan Steinkraus. "This experience let you learn a little bit more about individual professors." LSA sophomore Chris Maeso agreed, "It was the first chance I had to talk to a professor one on one." by Karen Akerlof Daily Staff Writer Six years after Harrison Johnson Jr. raped and robbed two University of Michigan students in their Long- shore Dr. townhouse, he has been sentenced to five life terms in prison. Circuit Court Judge William F. Ager handed down the ruling last Friday. Johnson was indicted on two counts of armed robbery, three counts of criminal sexual conduct, and one count of breaking and enter- ing to commit criminal sexual con- duct. Police identified Johnson as the perpetrator of the 1983 crimes from fingerprints taken from him and his accomplice in a 1988 burglary, for which they have yet to stand trial. Johnson's fingerprints were the 64th set police had compared with the prints taken from the townhouse in 1983. Johnson and an accomplice broke., into the students' townhouse at ap- proximately 2:00 am on October 4, 1983. Washtenaw County Assistant Prosecutor Larry Burgess said one of the students had just gone to bed when she heard talking, and at- tributed the noise to the arrival of her roommate. The two men attacked her and then her roommate when she later arrived. The two men had a knife, pre- sumably from the kitchen, Burgess said. Before leaving, the men took the women's jewelry and money and tied them up. Johnson's alleged accomplice, his nephew Michael Johnson, has not yet been tried for the case due to the disbarment and suspension of his at- torney. The suspension hindered Johnson's transfer from the juvenile court to the circuit court's jurisdic- tion. Michael Johnson was 15 at the time of the crime. which need to be addressed. In order to stop such things in the future, the constitution of MSA must be changed." Music School Representative Laura Sankey called Williams' ac- tions "unethical." She said his ac- tions could have been interpreted as campaigning and it shouldn't be the role of the president to campaign. Nick Maverick, chair of the Stu- dents' Rights Commission said the move was "dirty politics," and added that it hurt the whole assembly. John Heidke of the University's Housing Division, Earl Coleman, Assistant Dean for Minority Affairs, and LSA sophomore Holly Carson get to know each other at the U of M Personally: An Evening for Faculty and Students" dinner in the West Quad cafeteria last night. English lecturer Karis Crawford said that last night she was able to feel the ambiance of dorm life, "I think it gives me some connection with what goes on (around cam- pus)."

Explaining on MTS why the commission should be removed, he said, "The only purpose for the Peace and Justice Commission is to work on issues which concern El Salvador, Nicaragua, or other third world countries... I cannot justify these types of actions when there are so many problems on this campus 'U' to open admissions office in Detroit by Kristine LaLonde Daily Administration Reporter Detroit high school students will no longer have to travel all the way to Ann Arbor to meet with Univer- sity admissions officers. The University Office of Admis- sions plans to open a recruitment And admissions office in downtown Detroit sometime this school year. The office - which will be located in the University-owned Rackham Building near to the Detroit Institute of Arts - will be staffed by an ad- missions counselor and a secretary. University Admissions Director Richard Shaw said he hopes the of- fice will lead to improved minority recruitment in Detroit high schools. He said he believes the office will establish a positive relationship with the Detroit community. Shaw said the new office will be used to improve ties with other De- troit high schools. In the past, members of the Black Student Union have complained that the University concentrates on re- cruiting students only from Detroit's Cass Tech and Renaissance high schools. Cass and Renaissance are considered to be among Detroit's best public high schools. The Admissions department is still searching for the new office's counselor. Shaw said the University is hoping for a counselor with estab- lished ties to the Detroit commu- nity. No official deadline has been se for the office's opening. Delro Harris, chair of the Minor- ity Affairs Commission, said the of- fice "sounded like a good idea" but withheld further comment on its opening until he has more informa tion. t Read Jim Poniewozik Every Wqfekend ANXIETY ATTACKS?
