Campaigners removed from residence halls Monday evening, Department of Public Safety officers removed stu- dents who were distributing Michi- gan Student Assembly campaign fli- ers in Stockwell and East Quad resi- dence halls . The students, who are running on the Voice for Black Freedom and Stu- dent Power slate, were escorted from the buildings after they were found in violation of a "solicitation in buildings ordinance," DPS reports say. "They claimed they were working for MSA but did not have paperwork," reports say. "They were issued a verbal warning to cease their activity and es- corted from the building." MSA presidential candidate Jodi Masley, who is amemberof the VBFSP party, called the removal of campaign- ers from University buildings part of a "campus-wide search for our party members." "DPS was told to look for us all over campus and then tell us not to distribute our materials," Masley said. "We were told to stop handing out our information on campus." Reports say residents of the two buildings called DPS to complain and the candidates were removed because they were illegally soliciting in resi- dence halls. DPS reports cite the fact that they were "handing out election materials without permits" as the reason for es- corting them from the buildings. East Quad resident sights 'Wolfman' At 7:45 p.m. Monday, an East Quad resident called DPS after she noticed a strange person enter the building. The "caller stated that she just saw 'Wolfman' walk into East Quad and head for the basement area," reports say. The man was described as wearing black pants, a black jacket, a black T- shirt and a black hat. DPS officers reported that the sus- pect left the area without incident. * Police hats stolen during concert During the Digable Planets concert Tuesday night at Hill Auditorium, three police hats were stolen from a locked usher room. According to DPS reports, the room was unlocked after the concert and the officers were still on detail when the hats were taken. "The hats were missing when the officers went to retrieve them," reports say. There are no suspects in the case. Bottle rockets shot in Alice Lloyd Two students were caught by DPS officers Tuesday while they were set- ting off bottle rockets in Alice Lloyd residence hall. An officer confiscated the two stu- dents' bottle rocket launcher and there were no more fireworks reported. - Compiled by Daily Staff Reporter Josh White -mosa. The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 17, 1995 -5 Regents discuss new living/learning programs 5 By Cathy Boguslaski Daily Staff Reporter DEARBORN - Aging facilities, technol- ogy integration in student living spaces and privacy issues are all challenges the Housing Division faces when planning new living/learn- ing programs, Vice President for Student Af- fairs Maureen A. Hartford told the University Board of Regents yesterday. . "For a first-year student, a living/learning program is the glue, the place where all these (academic and social) programs come together," said David Schoem, assistant dean for under- graduate education. Several regents discussed the need for achange in the perceived function of residence halls. "'The concept of the function of the dorms has been to warehouse students, and the persuasive- ness of this attitude will take some time to root out," said Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Arbor). Hartford said that the residence halls built in the 1950s and 1960s - like South Quad and Mary Markley - are the most problematic, because they have small rooms and long hall- ways that exaggerate noise. "It's like living in a bowling alley," she said. While large-scale renovation of old resi- dence halls or building new ones is not an option, the Housing Division is looking at cre- ating a new living/learning environment in part of West Quad, Hartford said. More rooms in West Quad will be available in the residence hall when two wings of offices move to the refurbished Randall Laboratory. Some regents expressed concern that the University's residence halls and any living/ learning programs would have to compete with off-campus housing. "It's a market fact that the reason people move out of the dorms is that they find it more attractive to live out of the dorms than in them. What can we do to make them (the residence halls) more attractive?" Power said. Regent Lawrence Deitch (D-Bloomfield Hills) said the University may want to design a more attractive facility, even if it costs more than current accommodations. Regent Rebecca McGowan (D-Ann Arbor) cautioned that the University has to be careful when raising student costs. "Housing is part of educational expenses.... Are we willing to sepa- rate one freshman's experience from another (because of the cost of housing)?" she said. University President James J. Duderstadt said many universities have privatized their residence halls. Power agreed that privatization is something the University should consider. "There are enough differing needs in the marketplace, whether it he students of traditional age or nontraditional age, that we should have a range of products out there at a range of different prices," he said. Hartford agreed with McGowan's concern that housing should be affordable to all stu- dents. "We need to be concerned with accessi- bility to students regardless of income level." Hartford said. "When we talk about multiculturalism and exposing students to others of all different socio- economic backgrounds, but offer residence halls with different prices, we open ourselves up to having some class differences," she said. Students: Code amendment process flawed Where's the firei Students enjoying the sun paid little attention yesterday to the numerous fire trucks on Church Street answering what was apparently a false alarm. Nike eXectiVe speakrs about mes role inbusiess By Cathy Boguslaski Daily Staff Reporter DEARBORN - The University's code of non-academic conduct drew fire yesterday from two students ad- dressing the Board of Regents during the public comments portion of the meeting. "Why do I oppose the code?" said Vince Keenan, chair of the Michigan Student Assembly's Students' Rights Commission. "The code stemmed from two federal mandates concerning sexual assault and alcohol abuse. ... The code has gotten bogged down dealing with more than it can handle, and most of what itdoes is mediate petty squabbles." On Jan. 30, after three unsuccess- ful attempts, 26 student panelists - students randomly selected and trained in code procedures - met to consider amendments to the Statement of Stu- dent Rights and Responsibilities. The panelists endorsed several amend- ments, which must be approved by the regents before implementation. The regents are scheduled to re- view the code at their April meeting. Anne Marie Ellison, a member of the Student Civil Liberties Watch, also addressed the board. . "The (Jan. 30) amendment hearing was supposed to provide a forum for discussion and debate of each issue, but it was a flawed process," Ellison said. The format in which the amend- ments were presented to the panelists was not the format in which they were submitted, she said. "They were rear- ranged, and this gave the panel a line- item decision instead of letting them view the entire amendment. It was confusing to the panelists, and it should have gone more smoothly." Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen A. Hartford, whose office handles the code, disagreed. "It's dif- ficult to hear concerns about the pro- cess because it didn't go the way they wanted it to go. They said the format was confusing to the panelists. The amendments were given to the panel- ists in the form MSA and SACUA (the Senate Advisory Committee on Uni- versity Affairs) submitted them. The format came at the request of the per- son moderating the meeting, because she thought it would be easier. I talked to the panelists myself and they were not confused." The amendments were presented at the Jan. 30 amendment meeting in the order the changes would be made in the text of the code. Regent Andrea Fischer Newman (R-Ann Arbor) said she is gathering information on the code because she does not yet have an opinion on it. Regent Rebecca McGowan (D- Ann Arbor) said, "I appreciate Vince's forthrightness. These personal safety issues ... carry enormous weight, and I'll be interested to hear the code supporter's response to Vince." By Jason Wine For the Daily Addressing a crowd of approxi- mately 100 people, Nelson Farris, one of the founding fathers of athletic shoe and apparel giant Nike Inc., out- lined the marketing strategy he said is central to his company's success. Farris, the head of Nike Educa- tion, presented an overview of Nike's rise from "nothing" in 1972, to the "$4 billion juggernaut we are today." Farris credits the rise to "distribution strategy and marketing." Nike currently employs about 10,000 workers around the world, and does business in 80 countries, he said. In sticking to the presentation's theme of Nike's history and the de- velopment of sports marketing, Farris illustrated some of the mar- keting strategies and business prac- tices Nike has employed. One such business practice is, "When someone comes to you who is a lot smarter than you, learn from them," he said. Farris also said companies must "listen to what your customers want instead of trying to figure out what you think they want." Farris demonstrated his role as educator in recalling a major pitfall that led to a loss of market share for Nike between 1984 and 1988. Farris said the company had become too big and lost its focus, a problem inherent in rapid growth and the desire to be- come a leader in the world market. "Once you think you are the best, you are not the best," he said. During his speech, Farris offered inspirational advice encompassing Nike's single-most successful market- ing campaign. Farris advised the audi- ence to "take charge of your life. If there is something you want to do, just do it." Commenting on the origins of Nike's "Swoosh" - the trademark symbol that is now firmly embedded in American popular culture - Farris recalled Nike's beginning as a com- pany focusing exclusively on the needs of runners. "'Swoosh' is the sound you make when you run past somebody," Farris said. Students expecting to hear a presen- tation about how to get a job at Nike were in for a surprise. Vince Fudzie, a third-year Law student, appeared frus- trated after listening to Farris promote his company for more than an hour and a half. During the question-and-answer session following the presentation, he stood up and said,"Obviously Nike has had wonderful success, but how does one go about getting a job at Nike?" Farris said the most realistic av- enue to an upper-level position within the corporation is through the retail side, noting that Nike received more than 45,000 unsolicited resumes last year alone. Neesha Hathi, a Business senior, said she attended the presentation because she is interested in sports marketing. "For me, Nike epitomizes sports marketing." The event was sponsored by the Business School's Division of Mar- keting. Drew Pudduk, Nike student rep- resentative for the University, said the purpose of bringing such a high- level executive was that, "We wanted him to talk to the common student about the Nike experience."
