The University Board of Regents
will meet today at 3:30 p.m. in the
Regents' Room to discuss a profile of
the next University president.
The board, meeting as the Presi-
Ontial Search Committee, will have
an open discussion on characteris-
tics they would like to see in the
successor to President James
Duderstadt.
"It is a requirement that we com-
municate both to the University com-
munity and to potential candidates
what kind of experience and charac-
ter we will be looking for in the
rson who is going to lead the Uni-
Search

Education and
outreach programs set
to receive funding
By Jeff Eldridge
Daily Staff Reporter
Because of a large state budget sur-
plus, the University is set to receive
an additional $8 million in state fund-
ing.
Provost J. Bernard Machen said the
additional funding is intended to go to
projects that promote "service support
for the state of Michigan."
Lisa Baker, associate vice presi-
dent for University relations, said sev-
eral different projects are under con-
sideration to receive the additional
funding.
Baker said those initiatives include
the Center for Learning Through Com-
munity Service, a K-12 institute for
education, economic development out-
reach programs, and a state and local
policy research center.
Vice President for University Rela-
tions Walter Harrison said University
President James Duderstadt has given
indications of where he would like the
money to be spent.
"The president indicated he would
use some part of this for external out-
reach for the state of Michigan,"
Harrison said.
Harrison said the money will prob-
ably be used to nurture new programs.
"It is likely we'll use this to seed pro-
grams rather than fund existing ones,"
he said.
John Truscott, spokesperson for Gov.
John Engler, said the funding results
from a law passed in June 1995.
"There was a state law passed last
year that said if our budget surplus
was above a certain percentage, a per-
centage of that would go into a rainy-
day fund, and a percentage of that
would go back to the universities,"
Truscott said.
"This is the first year when that pro-
vision went into effect."
Machen said there may be some dif-
ficulty in giving out funds that may
the discussion will serve as a follow-
up to the nine public forums held
across the state. The forums were
designed to seek input from the
University's many constituencies,
.including students, faculty and al-
ums.

relationship," said LSA sophomore Samantha
Summer.
A representative for Victoria's Secret of
Briarwood Mall said Valentine's Day is their
second biggest holiday.
"It's like a mini-Christmas for us," the repre-
sentative said.
Marie Beauchamp, the manager of Condoms

"We'll double in business on Monday, Tues-

Business junior Lisa Waclawik, who works at
Normandie Flowers on South University Av-
enue, said the store becomes "really busy" around
the holiday.
Waclawik said red roses are the most popular
item, and that the store is expecting to sell more
than 2,000 this year.
"It's a very traditional thing, red roses," she

Condom Day
ams to fight STDs
By Jamie Shmalo
For the Daily
Valentine's Day makes people think about
love and relationships.
The American Social Health Association
hopes, though, that the holiday also inspires
people to talk more openly about their sexual
health.
Today is National Condom Day, sponsored
by ASHA. The 82-year-old non-profit organi-
zation is backing the day in their mission "to
stop (sexually transmitted diseases) and their
harmful consequences to individuals, families
and communities."4
The group has organized National Condom
Day for more than six years by providing freer
information to people about ST Ds and edu-
cation on forms of safer sex. Services in- wA
elude a brochure titled "Condoms, Contra-
ceptives and STDs" and operating the Na-
tional STD Hotline.

only way ASHA works to promote sexual
health awareness. The group provides educa- Picking the

day as another outlet.

come only once.
"The budget proposal asked for the
$8 million on a recurring basis," Machen
said. "The problem is they gave it to us
only once."
Harrison referred to this dilemma as
"a nice problem to have."
The additional funds were included
in a $22.6 million highereducation pack-
age created last June by State Sen. Joe
Schwartz (R-Battle Creek).
"We were very appreciative of the
funding, and particularly the efforts of
Senator Schwartz," Baker said.
Harrison said the $8-million figure

that there will be no confirmation of the
money until April 1.
'U'to fund
building 2
telescopes
in Chile
By Lisa Gray
For the Daily
Longtime ties between the Univer-
sity and the Carnegie Institution in
Washington, D.C., have resulted in a
joint telescope project to build what
will be the largest telescopes in the
Southern Hemisphere.
The Magellan Project, which began
in 1987 with a partnership between the
Carnegie Institution, Johns Hopkins
University and the University of Ari-
zona, will build two 6.5-meter optical/
infrared telescopes at Las Campanas,
Chile. Used together, the telescopes
will have the light-gathering power of
one 9.2-meter mirror.
These properties will make Magellan
the largest private astronomy facility in
the Southern Hemisphere.
"We anticipate many decades of dis-
coveries at the frontiers of astronomy
using Magellan's superb facilities," said
Augustus Oemler, director of observa-
tories at the Carnegie Institution.
The University, along with Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, an-
nounced Monday the signing of an
agreement to join Carnegie, Harvard
and the University of Arizona in the
current funding of the $67.7 million
project. Johns Hopkins left the project
in 1991.
"I think this is going to be really big,"
said University astronomy Prof. Dou-
glas Richstone, principal University
negotiator for the Magellan project en-
try.
The University agreed to fund 10
percent of the project in return for 10
percent of observation time. MIT will
fund 8 to 10 percent in return for 8 to 10
percent of observation time.
The astronomy department will be
covering 75 percent of the University's
operation costs by reallocating their own
funds, Richstone said. Because of this,
they will have one less doctoral fellow
over the next 30 years, Richstone said.

Two of the hottest things on college

to be held at 8p.m. Feb. 22. The Univer-

"It is essentially a giant viewing
party," Garza said.
Potential locations for these parties
could include residence hall rooms, fra-

"The idea is to have friends watching
'Friends'," Garza said.

An e-mail forged under the name of
University President James Duderstadt
was sent yesterday to more than 70
University e-mail groups. The message
followed a series of letters that began
with the recirculation of a year-old rac-,
ist e-mail.
The profanity-laden message was sent
to several academic and extracurricular
group lists, as well as individual stu-
dents and administrators.
"There's a reason I resigned as Presi-
dent," the message began. "So I
wouldn't have to put up with pathetic
losers like all you assholes. ... All of
you quit sending email like this or I will
declare the U-m (sic) invalid and none
of you will get to graduate!!!"
Lisa Baker, associate vice president
for University relations, said she has no
doubt that the message was a forgery.

After further investigation, it was dis-
covered the mailing originated from the
Daily offices.
Editor in Chief Ronnie Glassberg said
the Daily was unaware the message had
been sent from one of its computers until
a reporter contacted Burns.
"We are very concerned about this
incident and will investigate this matter
fully," he said. "The Daily plans to
cooperate with ITD in whatever capac-
ity required."
Glassberg said the sender had not yet
been identified.
