"This is not in any way about competition. We welcome competition. We like competition." Weinzweig said although some monetary compensation would be included in the suit, the main goal is to have Amer's "immediately stop trade dress infringement" But Bathish said he thinks the monetary compensation was the main reason for the lawsuit.

The Student Leader Board's goal is to coordinate the leaders of the largest of the more-than-600 inde- pendent student organizations on campus. Board members said the group hopes to combine efforts of many student organizations to serve University students. According to a prepared state- ment by board members, the group plans "to serve as a unified voice for the student community with the power derived from a large con- stituency of diverse student organi- zations, and to coordinate the efforts and resources of these organizations with the purpose of making student leadership more effective." Last fall, 20 students imple- mented the Student Leader Board - still in its development stages - when they became concerned about the disjointed nature of University student organizations. After a series of informal meet- ings over the past term, the board applied for a charter from the Michigan Student Assembly earlier this month. In an effort to recruit members, the board sent out 60 applications to the leaders of large campus organi- zations. Applications were also available for other interested leaders. Board members are looking to till 20 positions. However, some campus leaders criticized both the concept of the board and its member recruitment practice. Joey Faust, president of the Pan- hellenic Association, said she is concerned that the board will be too limited to represent the diversity of campus student organizations. "If there are 600 student leaders interested in having their opinions heard and are willing to give their time and energy then these people should not be excluded because they represent student interests," Faust said. She added that, while the idea of "student leaders networking to co- ATTENTION UPPERCLASSMEN !!! GO BLUE - GO CROW!! Informational Nights Starting Jan. 25.

Roger DeRoo, at-t tended some board meetings before deciding not to apply. He said the board appeared to lack purpose adding that it could not be "a positive change agent." Polk Wagner, Interfraternity Council (IFC) president, said he ap- plied because he saw the board as a "chance for major student organiza- tions to talk about common issues ... schedule joint programs ... and net- work." le added, however, that he is concerned because the applications' did not set criteria by which board members will be chosen. Student Leader Board co-founder Bruce Namerow, former IFC presi- dent, admitted that the board made some mistakes in its recruitment process. "We are in a learning stage right now ... We are willing to accept any constructive criticism and will change in any direction necessary," he said. MERGER Continued from page 1 of key central human resource activities," the task force report stated. While the new administrative po- sition is likely to effect change, most University officials said they are unsure what that change will be. "That depends on the vision and experience of this person coming in. A lot is going to be left for the deci- sion-making of the new director of affirmative action and human re- sources," Myers said. But employees agreed much of the change will be in the Office of Affirmative Action because the other two offices have already been united. Dumas questioned one change that has already been proposed - the relocation of some affirmative action and personnel offices from the Fleming Building on Central Campus to the Wolverine Tower HOUSING Continued fromnpage 1 Applicants said the pressure is greater because they are forced to wait until March to make definite housing arrangements. "The late date not only impedes my housing options, but it makes rejection even more harsh," said LSA sophomore Edithann Velez, a current applicant. "If they could possibly start the process before Christmas vacation, the rejected ap- plicants could have more housing options." Although Velez said she plans to live in the dorms again if she is not offered a resident advisor (RA) posi- tion, she noted that most applicants she has talked with would live off campus if rejected. Levy said the Housing Division has made efforts to reduce the stress created by the waiting period. "Up to two years ago RA candi- dates were not notified until the first Stacy Davis, another founder of the board and former president of the Student Alumni Council, said the applications were designed to insure that board members would be committed to the group and its work. She said the group chose to have 20 members to prevent things from get ting out of hand. Davis said the Student Leader Board will function as "a support group for student leaders who are often overwhelmed with extra-cur- ricu lars." She added that the group will serve as a liaison between students and the University administration through meeting with its advisor, Vice President for Student Affairs 0 Maureen Hartford. Both Namerow and Davis said the board will not take the place of MSA and does not intend to formu- late policies or codes. building on the corner of South State Street and Eisenhower Parkway. "It's easier for me to walk across9 the street than to drive to other facili- ties. I think travel time is going to have to be included in everything we do. Will that be efficient?" Dumas asked. Dolan-Greene said the relocation of the offices, like most of the pro- posed changes, is still up in the air. "The University has bought the Wolverine Tower building. There are some plans in the works for mov- ing several offices. Who's going to move, and when they're going to move is still in the preliminary stages," she said. Myers and Dumas said they don't think their office will receive less at- tention when they stop reporting di- rectly to the president. "The president's office has been very supportive. I'm still looking for. his office to be just as supportive as they have been in the past," Dumas said. week of April," Levy said. "We were heavily criticized for putting people in a bind in relation to off- campus housing. People were spending too much time on being. a candidate." Levy added that applicants who are not offered a position can use the regular services that the Housing Division offers in finding off-cam- pus housing, or - if they wish - live in a University residence hall. But some students said the prop, lem of the waiting period is un- solved because leases are typically signed at the start of the year. "There's an element of risk in- volved because most people sign leases in January and early Febru- ary," said Paul Danao, a resident di- rector in Mosher-Jordan and a first- year student in the School of Public Health. "Many qualified people fear going through the process because they may be stuck with no housing options if they are rejected." 01 Namerow said some campus leaders complained because they felt that, as heads of major organiza- tions, their inclusion on the board should be automatic. .
