Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, March 31, 1992 WOMEN Continued from Page 1 exception of the level of Deans and Associate Deans, the proportion of women still decreases at each suc- cessive level of the University's aca- demic pipeline. "In light of increasing numbers of women Ph.D.s we should have seen corresponding increases of faculty appointments. ... Unfortunately, Michigan's performance is relatively poor even in relation to that of other research universities. Of nine peer institutions surveyed, six had a somewhat larger proportion of women faculty, two were the same and only one had a smaller propor- tion of women faculty." University President James Duderstadt acknowledged in a letter that "many inequities are obvious and must be addressed." "We've made progress, but particularly at the higher ranks, there's still a distance to go," said Shirley Clarkson, director of presidential communications. "That's the main reason why the provost instituted his new program to increase hiring of faculty." Under the February implementation of the Special Hiring and Recruitment Effort - SHARE program - the Office of Academic Affairs will fund the difference to upgrade a junior-level faculty search to the senior level in order to in- crease senior faculty hiring. Stebbins said departments with problems achieving parity should follow the psychology department's avid recruitment of graduate Black students. "That's a good model to go by and the reason they've been very successful is that they've been very active in their recruitment," Stebbins said. "It sounds corny but that's what you have to do - reach out." Although Clarkson admitted to the dearth of women administrators, she pointed to such high-level female officials as General Counsel Elsa Cole and newly-hired Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford. She added, in the past, the University could create new posi- tions for women, but this practice is not feasible anymore due to financial and personnel constraints. "There's been progress. It's just at the executive administrator range, there are fewer (women)," she said. "Partly now we're not in a period of expansion, and it makes it harder to address inequity."

"That's going to be a problem here in Ann Arbor and I think my experidnce gives me an understanding in how this council can assist in reducing the cost of services and keeping the quality within an acceptable range. "Government is the way you make it possible to have a civilized society," Michener said. "I see the council's role not to run the day-to-day activities of the city, but rather to set policies for the major programs and set goals and objectives," Michener said. He said the City Council should keep in contact with the administrator and city employees and later conduct an "operations audit." However, Fink said he disagreed. "I don't think the city should be run that way," Fink said. "It drives the city employees crazy." "I don't think the council people should be there 50 hours a week," said Fink, who said he feels the council should act as a board of di- rectors. "That may be the biggest difference between Republicans and the Democrats." Schrodel said Libertarians also feel the council should take a hands-off approach to governing. "Government does not need to be a full-time job," he said. But, Michener said, "A council fails in its responsibility simply by acting as a board of directors and appointing a city administrator." Fink said the City Council needs to focus more on long-term plans 'Government is the way you make it possible to have a civilized society.' - Ralph Michener 2nd Ward candidate and less on partisan bickering over small issues. "I would be strongly in favor of a joint caucus," Fink said. "When you've got people sitting on one side of the street and some sitting on the other side of the street, literally plotting over issues and the two go to a meeting and try to sort things out ... that just isn't a good atmosphere for resolving problems." Schrodel said he has made other accomodations in case he does not win the election. He said he will en- roll at the University of Dayton this fall. 0 c 0 +.- (/, U.

He said as a senior citizen, and a person with experience in state governments and in administration, he could help "establish long- and short-term policies which help all of us." Michener said he headed a state Department of Public Institutions in Nebraska that had a budget approx- imately the same size as Ann Arbor's. He added he lead the de- partment through the recession of 1980. Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson ELECTIONS 'lI4gNTCN W\ NRTS T DONG? NOYR .TAE LAWeN, SS , .

Most people have been really interested," Tjoelker said. "One problem we did have was on one ballot the parties were not listed next to the people. Students wanted to know who went with what and I couldn't tell them." Many students said they voted by party - not candidate. "I'm voting because I'm in favor of a few issues the Progressive Party is promoting and I wanted to make sure they got my support," RC junior Matthew McDermott said. "I like to stick with the Conservative Coalition because I trust someone more conservative be- cause they can get done what they say they can get done," said LSA senior Paul Savage. "I voted because it is our civic duty," said LSA senior Craig Robison. "I support the Conservative Coalition because it is the only rep- utable party on the ballot." Other students said they voted for the Progressive Party because they were concerned about the fight that erupted at last week's assembly meeting when LSA Rep. Bill Lowry called a woman speaking during MSA constituents time "a bitch." "I voted namely because of the incident that took place at the MSA meeting last week," School of Education first-year doctoral student Yvette Jenkins said. "I think we need a change in leadership. I haven't been paying attention to the assembly but obviously we have a problem when one of the leaders refers to a woman as 'a bitch."' Rackham graduate student Courtney Atlas also said she voted because of discontent with the cur- rent assembly. "If there was an incident of call- ing someone a derogatory remark than obviously they're not fit to be leaders," Atlas said. "Hopefully, if nothing else, there will be a defeat of the people in power. I'm looking to get rid of the current administration." Other students said they voted simply because they had the extra time. "I had 15 minutes to kill before classes. I know practically zero about the candidates. I'm voting to kill 15 minutes before class," said Engineering junior Dave Woldring. Some students refused to vote because they said it did not make a difference. "I've been here five years and MSA hasn't done anything while I've been here," said first-year law student Dominic Cianciolo. MSA polling sites will be open throughout the day today. ,,,,, READ THE CLASSIFIEDS 9 0 "THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS IN APPLYING TO LAW SCHOOL AND HOW TO AVOID THEM" II A Seminar on the Law School Admission Process and the Successful Student's Approach Featured Topics Include: " How Law Schools Evaluate Applicants * How to Select Law Schools " Strategy and Timetable for Admission + Free Comparative Guide to Law Schools Presented by EXCEL Test Preparation WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8th 7:30 P.M.

While Republican 5th Ward candidate and LSA senior Jeff Muir has taken in less money than Nicolas, he has received more than twice the amount of his opponent, incumbent Councilmember Thais Peterson (D-5th Ward). Muir claims to have received $5,965 to Peterson's $2,847. Muir has spent more than four times the amount of Peterson's expenses on his campaign - $5,692 compared to Peterson's $1,301 in expenses. ELECTION Continued from page 1 6th District. Carr first was elected to Congress in 1974, lost in 1980, then won back his seat in 1982. While Carr talked about eco- nomics being the top issue in this year's elections, Wolpe talked about his plan to stay involved in public policy. "I do not know at this point ex- actly what I will be doing next year, but I am excited about the opportu- nity I will now have to step back a bit, to do some reflection on how we can get beyond the ugliness and cyn- icism of this election so that we can begin the task of rebuilding this state and nation of ours," he said. "I have no intention of leaving public life or abandoning the strug- gles in which I have been engaged these past two decades." Wolpe became the second mem- ber of Michigan's 18-member U.S. House delegation to retire because of reapportionment. Congressional district lines are redrawn every 10 years after the census to reflect population shifts. Michigan will lose two of its 18 seats this year. 0 eb £irboan iBailj The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
