'U' to build social The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 8, 1990 - Page 5 work school -i : by Lisa Fromm One more empty field will soon give way to University expansion. In the next few years, the Univer- sity will tear up the empty field on the corner of South and East Univer- sity to build a new School of Social Work building. The school, with about seven hundred masters and Ph.D. candi- dates, is presently in the Frieze building and various other places around campus. "Having a building of our own will be good so that the school can build an identity and people will feel like more of a community," Social Work Associate Professor Larry Root said. The tentative cost estimate for the new building is $11 million, said Paul Spradlin, director of plant extension. The School of Social Work will raise money by asking alumni, friends and foundations for contributions, said Johnson. Once the money has been raised, construction will take about two years, Spradlin said. "We have an architect preparing designs and we're simultaneously preparing a campaign to raise money. We will start building as soon as possible," said Harold John- son, dean of social work. The new building will include a library, classrooms, a computing fa- cility, and office space. Some social work classes will also be in the old School of Education building next door, Johnson said. "We're sort of isolated right now (in the Frieze building)," said first-- year social work graduate student Ovell Barbee. However, one student said other things are more important than a new building. "Before the school gets a new building, it needs internal things. It's more important to put money into fundamentals, like more people of color in the faculty," said Marina Barnett, second-year social work graduate student. The building will be designed by the same architect who designed the Angell Hall computing center and the engineering center in the Dow building. Honecker's cor Nervous LSA senior Bob Keating anxiously awaits an interview with Dayton- Hudson at Career Planning and Placement. d Ia . . f- .. EAST BERLIN (AP) - Erich Honecker was sometimes generous enough to buy his fellow East Germans bananas for Christmas, but prosecutors say the former Commu- nist leader ran a thoroughly corrupt state where officials even stooped to stealing money from private mail. The allegations, the most thor- ough to date of corruption under Ho- necker's rule, were made yesterday by East Germany's deputy chief prosecutor Lothar Reuter. Reuter said that during 40 years of Communist rule, corruption was rampant but that prosecutors work- ing across the nation still have not uncovered all the details. Honecker kept a private account that on any given day contained about $60 million, Reuter said, most of it supplied by a former offi- cial accused of arranging illegal arms exports. Honecker used $454,000 from such an account to buy a pocket watch once owned by Vladmir Lenin, Reuter alleged. The former leader, ousted in the fall pro-democracy movement, also apparently had his generous side. Sometimes just before Christ- mas, he would "bless the people" by arranging purchases of bananas, nearly non-existent in East Ger- many. Reuter charged that at such moments, Honecker was trying to play "Santa Claus of the nation" even while Communist officials were biking the country. Reuter read off a list of the ex- travagances and corrupt activities al- legedly committed by Communist Party officials during Ho- necker' si8-year rule. He said leading officers of the state security service stole Western currency sent through the mail to East German citizens from West German friends and relatives. In the last three years alone, more than $4 million was spirited away in this fashion, he alleged. Honecker who was ousted Oct.18, ruption and a number of his lieutenants are waiting trial on a broad range of charges, from high treason to human rights violations to misuse of public funds. The former leader was arrested last week and sent to prison. He was released a day later after doctors de- termined he was too frail to with- stand detention. Authorities announced yesterday WE WANTYQ UIlI The Michigan Daily's Display Advertising De- partment is now hiring account executives exposed that Honecker will be indicted for high treason in March and tried be- fore the country's supreme court. He could face life in prison if convicted. Many of Honecker's former lieu- tenants are in jail and also will stand trial, such as ex-premierWilli Stoph, ousted economics chief Guenther Mittag and fired security chief Erich Mielke. fr r nfrill term Plr-l, i in xin ir rinnlir^ntinn today at 420 Maynard. **, f*. 4+*+* +.iii ,+,i.i+i.1.*.iii*i ** ,*, .* * * 4+ .e. *** .*. .*. f *. .*. .*. .*, **. .4ii.+, ** 4 THE INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT IN KASHMIR Lecture By TiHE UNIVERSITY OF MICIIIGAN'S STUEN' RUN DANCE COMPANY IN PERFORMANCE 1990 MILT "I rA LES Cutter miot""ca W Plasma Collection Facility PEOPLE I I Dr. Ayyub Thakkur 1 PEOPLE . 40 million hospital patients rely on PLASMA industry pro- ducts each year.
