:Engineers, business school students to receive professorship The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 25, 1989 - Page 7 : Nine remain missing In *by Amy Quick Do thoughts of spending yet an- other two years in class trying for a Masters in Business Administration _(MBA) after graduation make you want to win the lottery and buy an ,island in the Caribbean? Before you throw away that power-briefcase Mom and Dad sent for your birthday, consider another alternative. The Ford Foundation an- nounced that it will give a $2.5 mil- lion grant to the University to estab- lish a William Clay Ford Professor- ship of Product Manufacturing. This allows students to ,stay in engineering but . understand business *-enough to make sure the -product design is done with awareness of the buying and selling reali- ties in the business :world, Atkins explained. The program, granted in the hope -of encouraging both the Business iSchool and the School of Engineer- ing to put together a curriculum to get experience in industry, is sched- uled to take effect next year. Stu- dents in this executive-engineering program would combine the skills of an engineer with those of an MBA DAILY Continued from Page 1 * "This has been oc- curring again and again," Sankey said. Last Thursday, an explanation on the Opinion Page by Daily Editor in Chief Adam Schrager said the opin- ion expressed in the article was not that of the Daily. Seven Daily Opinion Page staffers addressed the assembly, urg- ing representatives not to support the measure. Daily Opinion Page Editor Eliza- beth Esch said she thought the open letter was an "unproductive" way to 'react to the article. "The only way to air all our dis- agreements is to keep talking about it and not try to put forth an adver- tisement slamming other student or- ganizations," Esch said. In a heated debate, which lasted for an hour-and-a-half, assembly rep- resentatives engaged in face-to-face debate with Daily staffers over the paper's policies and the implications of the article. Some Daily members and assem- without requiring students to obtain their engineering degree before at- tending a full MBA program, said Dean of Engineering Daniel Atkins. This allows students to stay in- engineering but understand business enough to make sure the product de- sign is done with awareness of the buying and selling realities in the business world, Atkins explained. Faculty and students involved in the program will spend time in in- dustry working on projects. "If a stu- dent has an idea that he would like to test out, industries that come into this program will make their facili- ties available as sort of an outgrowth of our labs," Atkins said. He said the program differs from an internship because "the student would have, perhaps, more preroga- tive than normal defining the project that they want to do." "About $1 million will go into an endowment to support the chair and then the rest of it will go to stu- dents support and to the setting up of the program," Atkins added. "A lot of the money will go toward scholarships for the students." Currently, the School of Engi- neering offers manufacturing options within the mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering programs. This allows students to get a degree in one of these divisions and still take courses in manufacturing. bly representatives argued that since the article was written by a Jew, it wasn't anti-Semitic. "As a Jewish theologian, that's his job to criticize Jewish theology," said David Levin, an opinion staffer, in defense of the author. "As Jewish people they have the right to make criticisms about the Jewish commu- nity." However, LSA Rep. Ori Lev ar- gued that Jews indeed can be anti- Semitic. Lev maintained that the real issue at hand was that this was not an isolated incident and the Daily was violating its own policy. "If they're choosing to not print racist articles, they cannot selec- tively choose to not print racist arti- cles and then print anti-Semitic arti- cles," he said. In other business, the assembly took a half hour to discuss the im- plications of destructive politicking that some representatives felt was hurting MSA. Student General Counsel John Coleman said members who dealt behind cotrs' backs were disrupting the credibility of MSA and seriously hurting the assembly's cohesiveness. earthquake aftermath SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Only nine people; re- mained unaccounted for yesterday - one week after Northern California's ravaging earthquake. * The U.S. Geological Survey on Tuesday also revised upward the magnitude of the Oct. 17 quake from 6.9 to 7.1 on the Richter scale. A $2.85 billion quake aid bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives. Survivor Buck Helm's condition improved to serious with his kidney function reported normal. Demolition crews were taking down sections of In- terstate 88 in Oakland for fear that still-standing.sec- tions of the elevated , double-deck structure could tum- ble like dominoes onto the 14-mile stretch that col- lapsed in the Oct. 17 quake. The death toll rose to 63 with a coroner's discovery of a 39th victim among the remains dug out of the 'rub- ble of I-880, which was the first elevated freeway built in California. But authorities have been able to account for all but 9 of the 280 reported missing during the last week, Cal- ifornia Highway patrol Lt. Kris Wraa said. "I'm not willing to speculate how many of those nine missing people may or may not be up there," Wraa said, referring to the collapsed freeway. Rescue crews have not been able to locate other bod- ies in the rubble, where 55 cars were trapped at rush hour. This was a considerably lower number of cars than are usually on the freeway, possibly because of the scheduled third game of the World Series between the bay area's two major league baseball teams. A traffic officer reported he was "surprised at how light traffic was " five minutes before the quake, Cali- fornia Highway Patrol spokesman Thomas A. Noble said. Four sections remain inaccessible to searchers. Dig- ging was to resume when the threatening sections were taken down, possibly by tomorrow. There was no'hope of finding anyone alive, authorities said. Seismologists at the geological survey said they re- vised the quake's Richter to 7.1 after checking data from 18 seismic stations around the world." Coffee or tea?

MSA Continued from Page 1 The trip's purpose in part was to investigate the possibility of making Bir Zeit University on the West Bank a sister institution of the University, said Lev. MSA stipulated before the trip that the MSA funds, $3,500 given to PSC, be accounted for following the trip and the two MSA-funded members of the trip make a presentation upon their return. Neither Peterson or Blome made a presentation before MSA, said Lev. Upon returning from the trip, Williams said the PSC members have described themselves as the "MSA delegation to the occupied territories" in fliers and presentations to classes. MSA Peace and Justice Committee Chair Ingrid Fey disagreed with Williams' request and said, "I am not sure that you can hold PSC responsible for these people who have dropped off the face of the earth." 764-0553 News 763-0379 Arts o7640562 News and Opinion 747-3334 News 763-0376 Sports 763-2459 News 747-3336 Sports Citiz en Watch Sale 4 Fall Savings Bonanza $79o99 Values up to 185.00 Limited Time Only Schlanderer & Sons Schlanderer on South Downtown Ann Arbor " 208 S.
