The good reason for doing that is usually de- scribed under the term 'Conflict of Interest'. It's very difficult for people to be objective with people with whom they are closely related or have great interest," she added. Dawson stressed that the policy is meant not to reprimand the faculty member or the student, but rather to ensure objectivity in the academic aspect of the relationship. "We're interested at the Univer- sity that people be evaluated for their performance, not on personal rela- tionships," she said. "That is a good reason for us to say to faculty mem- bers that they should not grade people with whom they are romantically in- volved." Regardless of the 'relationship- friendly-if-it's-reported' attitude the University holds, relationships inevi- tably go on without that official go- ahead. One student, a sophomore who asked that her name not be used, is currently dating the teaching assistant she had for one of her classes during last Fall Term. "We didn't begin dating until after the semester was over," she said. "(The class) was in a lab course. He was very friendly, and he showed personal interest in all of his students. I'd see him around campus and we would say 'Hi' and chat. I saw him the day after grades came out and we decided to go to a movie and that's how it began. We had a friendship while we were in class." Now, nine months later, they are still together. She said that there are a few ob- stacles in dating a former teacher. "He thinks I'm going to go out with another one of my TAs and I tease him about going out with an- other one ofhis students," she laughed. Her boyfriend is still a TA, but for a different course. The relationship also inhibits her choice of sections for other classes in her boyfriend's department. "I wouldn't take classes with my boyfriend's TA friends." She also had to tell her parents about her situation, which went rela- tively well. "They didn't have a problem with it," she said. "He's a teaching assis- tant, and he's not that much older than I am. Maybe they thought it was a little unusual, but other than that, they laughed about it." She also noted that the professor of the class did not know and still does not know. While her story is a happy one, still she cautions others about getting in- volved in a relationship with a present or former teacher. "I would not suggest that anyone do it. If we were ever to break up, it would make it very difficult for me to take another class in that department because I know all of the other TAs in the department now. I wouldn't sug- gest it as a wise behavior pattern." Hartmut Rastalsky, a sixth-year Rackham student and Great Books TA agreed that student-faculty rela- tionships should be avoided. "It seems bad to me for students and professors to be in romantic rela- tionships at all when the professor is teaching the student," he said, adding that he thinks it is good for a regula- tory policy to be in existence. John Squier, a fourth-year Rackham student and Political Sci- ence TA, said he thinks the policy should be more restrictive. "I'd favor a stricter policy to ban (faculty-student relationships) out- right," he said. "I've never been in a class that didn't depend on your per- formance in the classroom. I'd imag- ine if you were involved with a stu- dent it would be very hard to give an unbiased grade to their performance in the classroom." AUTO Continued from page 1 Motors Corp., said the envisioned fuel efficiency -gains would amount to "nothing less than a major, even radi- cal breakthrough. We are proposing a whole new class of car." Seniorauto industry engineerssaid they foresaw no technology that would readily lead to the kind of fuel effi- ciency gains suggested by Clinton and still keep cars at current size, safety levels and price. "We don't even have a vision of what such a car would look like," said. a senior Chrysler engineer, who asked not to be identified. But the engineers said they welcomed the opportunity. The automakers have made little improvements in overall fuel effi- ciency in the last eight years, with cars and trucks getting on average about 28 miles per gallon, although a small number of subcompact cars have achieved better than 40 mpg. Attempts by some members of Congress to require automakers to achieve a fleet average of 40 mpg have been heatedly opposed by the manufacturers who argue those levels can't be reached without depriving consumers of the family-size vehicles now in showrooms. It is unclear how much money would be put into the new research. Do You Diet Severely to Control Your Weight? Do You Binge Eat and Vomit?

"The emphasis now is on multiculturalism in student affairs ... to bring more multiculturalism and diversity to campus," he said. "The environment is right to learn about other cultures." Dashner said he hopes to make people more aware of Native Ameri- can issues and shed some light on the true history of this cultural group. "A lot of history is slanted," he said. "It's inaccurately written by non- Native American historians. A lot of people are appalled at ethnic cleans- ing in Bosnia. They don't realize that's exactly what was going on in this country until very recently." His present job is not the first time that Dashner, a 1977 University gradu- ate, has worked with Native Ameri- cans. He is the former director of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, a job covering a six- county area in which he designed pro- grams to help unemployed and under- employed Native Americans find per- manent work. He was also the Assis- WELCOME BACK "WE CUT HAIR TO PLEASE" 6 BARBERS * NO WAITING THE DASCOLA STYLISTS for Men and Women 668-9329 Liberty off State tant Director of the Southeast Michi- gan Indian Center, a social service center. When he was first hired for his present position as a temporary, he was working as a subcontractor. He decided to apply because it was dur- ing the fall, and the construction busi- ness was slow. When the permanent position was advertised six months later, he applied and was hired. "The main thing that stands out about (Dashner) is that he is very prominent in the Indian community of the Midwest," said Jim Beck, a member of the search committee that hired Dashner. "Everyone knows him and respects him. "We wanted someone who was very well-founded in the (Native American) culture - he was a musi- cian and dancer for 15 or 20 years before that," he said. Dashner is also the founder of the U-M Indian Dance Club. The two main objectives of the club are to teach young people about the dances so they can participate in celebrations and help inform people about Native American culture and do away with stereotypes, he said. Dashner's 12-year-old daughter Alyssa is an award-winning dancer and the youngest member of the club. Dashner said he hopes to "pass -n a sense of pride in her heritage aid participation in her culture." "I make an effort to take her to different celebrations and ceremonies so she can be exposed to that culture," he said. Dashner has a dream to educate people in the United States and around the world about his culture. "I'd really like to travel around the world, ... like to Europe and dance before audiences there and talk about my culture," he said. "That's my ulti- mate dream." He also would like to return to schooL "I'm really fascinated by In- dian history - the key to Indian his- tory is in the mythology, legends, and religious ceremonies." he said. Dashner said many students seem unaware that the campus political en- vironment has changed for the better since the '70s, when he was a student. "It's opened up for people of color a lot more - especially since Presi- dent Duderstadt came on board people of color have come out of the closet. "We actually paved the road for students going now - we made it much more accessible ... what hap- pened at the University was a carryover from the Civil Rights movement - people don't realize the battles that were fought." Some of the battles he mentioned were the Black Action Movement (BAM) strikes in the '70s and '80s. Dashner, who participated in the second BAM strike, said the strikes were based on the belief of many students of color that the University was institutionally racist. In response to the demands of Af- rican American students for a Black advocate, the MSS office was created. Later, the advocate position changed to representative, and positions were added for Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans. Pauline Herring, secretary in the MSS office, said, "Because of (Dashner's) knowledge of the history of Native Americans, I have found working with him and the Native American students most informative and interesting." In the future, Dashner hopes to get involved in education in a primary Native American community, such as a reservation. "We have problems getting young people ready for institutions like (the University)," he said. "Indian students get shortchanged by the education system." RUSH Continued from page 1 About 900 women registered for Rush at Panhel's Sept. 10 mass meet- ing. They were divided into groups of between 40 and 50, and assigned three to four Rush Counselors. Rho Chis were responsible for keeping contact with the rushees throughout the process. After each of the four sets during Rush, rushees received a list of houses that asked them back, and decided which ones they wanted to revisit. At the end of Rush, the women went to the Union and recorded their first through third preferences. Panhel personnel matched the women's preferences and the sorority houses' lists. Each rushee received only one bid. Seiler and 36 sorority alumni did the bid matching by hand, but the entire rest of the Rush process is computerized. It is believed that approximately 300 women dropped out of Rush, but Panhel would not confirm this figure. Total registration was down this year. Seiler attributed this to enroll- ment being down at the University, and the poor economy. She insisted this was nothing to panic about, add- ing "that (Panhel) wanted to maintain (numbers) where they are now." The Rush registration fee was low- ered this year to make Rush more desirable, Seiler said, adding it may be abolished completely in the future. Seiler said the large number of women who dropped out of Rush is not unusual. Sometimes students re- alize it is too much too soon, or simply feel sorority life is not for them. But one first-year student said women drop Rush mostly out of dis- appointment from not getting asked back to a house they really liked. * Budget airfares anywhere. " International student fares.
