Shakur, one of rap's most successful nd notorious singers, was fatally shot ear the Las Vegas Strip following the ike Tyson-Bruce Seldon boxing natch.

MEDICAL Continued from Page 1 oversee all medical functions helps coordinate education and clinical ser- vices. "The hospital and the clinical faculty must be aligned in strategy and mission and that can only happen if there's one person in charge," Johns said. Betz said the Medical Center's sense of vision will be strengthened by hav- ing one central leader. "The various missions can be better aligned and balanced," Betz said. Regent Andrea Fischer Newman (R- Ann Arbor) said the new post will be a "very significant" part of the overall restructuring. She said some of the "people at the very, very top making decisions are too far removed," and the new position would provide for more centralized and knowledgeable gover- nance. Newman said a search committee would form soon after the regents cre- ate the position, which she said she hopes will be filled in the near future. But even after the new position is created, major cuts are still in the Medical Center's future. "There is still a significant chunk left," Harrison said. "We think we can save $19 to $20 million if we reduce benefits for employees." Harrison said the Medical Center currently provides its employees excep- tionally generous benefits packages that could be partially maintained after trimming. The remainder of the cuts - about $120 million - would still have to be determined. Harrison said a task force is set to recommend the next wave of cutbacks in early 1997 as part of the three-year reduction plan. "We're not sure how we're going to make those cuts," Harrison said. "We'd love to say we're done with layoffs ... but we can't say that right now." Betz said the cutbacks will ultimate- ly improve the mission of the Medical School. "I see it as an extremely positive step forward," Betz said. "I foresee no negative impact on the quality of our educational programs and expect that they will benefit from the change." But Harrison conceded that the bud- get cuts might prompt some to leave the Medical Center. He said keeping and attracting top-notch people may be more difficult because of the uncertain future. "We certainly hope that cutbacks or talks of cutbacks don't frighten peo- ple,' Harrison said. He conceded that cutbacks at the hospitals have led to "some pain emotionally for employ- ees." Many have attributed the problems of the University Medical Center to rising competition in the medical market -- particularly the competition from health maintenance organizations. Betz said an increasingly competitive market has made the need for reform more evi- dent. "Nearly every part of our medical center has developed bad habits - inefficiencies - because we have had the luxury of continued ample patient flow without the need to compete in the clinical market,' Betz said. "This is no longer the case?' support for University research contin- ued to rise, the amount of the increase declined. "This is a matter of concern," Neidhardt said. Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) noted the University has to work to debunk the myth that research is over- valued at large, public universities.

"It's become the mo think of as distance e 21st century;" Van H emphasizing that virti CHILD CARE Continued from Page :. should be raised privately, instead of being taken out of the University's gen- eral revenue fund. She said she supports the concept of sponsoring child care, but does not want to fund it through tuition or state appropriations. All of the board's Democrats - with the exception of Regent Laurence Deitch (D-Bloomfield Hills), who was absent from the meeting - said they support the childcare proposal. Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle Creek) also expressed support of a University child care program. Regent Rebecca McGowan (D-Ann Arbor) said the University should be ready to help students with child care needs. "It is a simple and modest step," McGowan said. "I fully support the dol- lar fee for child care." Regent Nellie Varner (D-Detroit) said helping to finance child care will increase accessibility to the University. "This is certainly something that is needed very badly," Varner said, noting that child care needs have "a disparate impact on female students" Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) said the student mandate for child care assistance does not seem very strong. He said the low turnout in MSA elec- tions does not imply overwhelming support for the plan. "I've never believed personally that 8 or 10 or 12 percent of the student body is really representative," Baker said. Baker also said the Child Care Task Force that formulated the plan did not properly consider the long-term costs of a University-sponsored program. There is the possibility that a child care pro- gram could slowly creep out of control, driving up costs and becoming unwieldy, Baker said. But Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Arbor) said the proposal was modest in scope, and could be a cautious first step to consider later expansion. "The pilot program should be regard- ed as an opportunity to learn a great deal" Power said. McFee said it is important to provide child care because it will help stimulate the intellectual capacities of young chil- dren. She said providing quality child care is a serious need in society. "This is an employer and a business problem as much as it is a public edu- cation problem," McFee said. The regents will vote on the plan at today's meeting.
