Thomas Dunn, outgoing chair of the faculty's
governing body, passed the gavel to his successor,
Dr. Louis D'Alecy, at the semester's final Senate
Assembly meeting yesterday.
Dunn, a chemistry professor, said he is glad to
have served as a chair of both the Senate Advisory
Committee on University Affairs and the Senate
Assembly for the past three years and is now hop-
ing for "a safe return to the faculty."
"I treasure the experience, but I'm glad that it
only lasts for three years," Dunn said.
D'Alecy said lie looks forward to leading
SACUA and the Senate Assembly and will look to
Dunn for advice throughout his term.
"I hope that I can carry the torch as well as
(Dunn) has,"said D'Alecy, a physiology professor.
Before passing his position on to D'Alecy,
Dunn reflected on the changes that took place
within SACUA and the Senate Assembly during
his term. He emphasized the improvement of the
relationship between faculty and administration.
"The current state of affairs (in faculty gover-
nance) is very much an effort of (Provost J. Bernard
Machen's) openness and the cooperation of (former
Interim University President Homer Neal)."
Senate Assembly member Pot Maloy, a kinesiol-
ogy professor, praised Machen, who will be leav-
ing his post at the University in late summer, for
his work with the faculty. I
"Provost Machen has done a great deal to estab-
lish the key to faculty governance understanding,'
Maloy said, noting that Machen successfully adapt-
ed to multiple turnovers in the University's adminis-
tration.
Dunn said that the involvement of the faculty in
the selection of University President Lee Bollinger
last November also helped improve the communi-
cation between faculty and administration.
Dunn said the need for the faculty to match the
student body's increasing diversity will be a
prominent issue in the future.
"For most of us, when we go into the classroom,
we don't meet the same class that we did 20 years
ago," Dunn said, noting that the demographics of
the faculty do not parallel those of the student body.
Also at the meeting, the faculty officially approved
Move-out may
see jump in theft
a report that outlines the principles of faculty involve-
ment in institutional and academic unit governance.
Dunn said the report, which was put together by the
Academic Affairs Advisory Committee, is a clarifi-
cation of the principles for faculty governance that
are stated in the Regent's Bylaws.
"This report reaccentuates the responsibilities
and the prerogatives of the faculty, but at the same
time recognizes the methods of the different units;'
Dunn said.
Machen said the report does not make any fun-
damental changes in any of the concepts of facul-
ty governance.
"This document fills a vacuum, in that we do
not presently have a document that outlines the
principles of faculty governance," Machen said.

As the students move out, the thieves
may move in.
With the closing down of residence
halls scheduled to occur in less than
two weeks and other students leaving
off-campus housing, theft rates may
soon climb slightly.
"There is usually a spike in theft in
and around residence halls during
move-out week," Director of Housing
Public Affairs Alan Levy said. "The
basic extent of what we tell people is to
urge them not to leave their personal
property unattended"

However, many students living in
residence halls said they do not worry
about theft.
"I haven't had problems with theft
all year," said LSA first-year student
Ashley Reichenbach. "I'm not going
home, so I'm going to move in stages."
LSA first-year student Anthony
White said he plans to move all of his
belongings out at once, and is not wor-
ried about theft.
"I'm not terribly worried. I don't
think moving out will be too much of a
difficulty," White said.

During move-out in the residence

chairs, in the hallway for extended peri-
ods of time.
"There arc too many people that go

"Students shouldn't leave items they
are financially liable for unattended."

When students begin fall term, they will have a new
option to pay for college - tutoring.
The University is one of 14 Michigan colleges and
universities that is participating in President Clinton's
America Reads Initiative, which allows' for up to half
of all work study students to teach elementary school
children to read.
"There's been a literacy effort in the past, but
there's never been anything this dramatic' said
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), an advocate of the
program, in an interview with The Michigan
Daily last month.
Mary Beth Damm, assistant director of the
University's new Center for Learning Through
Community Service, said there has been a positive
reaction to the new program.
"People love the idea of college students working
with elementary school students," Damm said.
But Damm said the University plans to use only
between 75 and 125 of the University's 3,500 work
study students for the program.
"It's not realistic to have half of all work study stu-
dents in this program," Damm said. "We could not fit
them all."
Currently the University is hiring a coordinator for
the program, Damm said. The University is also in
preliminary discussions with two Ann Arbor-area
school districts, she said.
The School of Education has also committed to
assist the tutors.
"At this point, we made a committment to support
the service," said Education Assistant Dean Karen
Wixon. "It's really important work."
Wixon said she wants to assure a quality tutoring
program for the young children.
"All tutoring is not created equal," Wixon said. "'Ae
want a tutoring program that makes a difference."
The option of literacy tutoring has received mixed
reaction from University stu-
dents
LSA junior Patnck Ryan, We wa
who has participated in work
study at a laboratory, said his tuo g
laboratory experience is moret
beneficial to his future career t4
than tutoring might be.
"The lab is a little more rel- differenc
evant to what I'm doing,"_
Ryan said. "It's a good idea to
invest in the future, but what Education
about us?"
Engineering sophomore
Jamie Hillock said she would consider tutoring in the
program.
"It would be a good idea," said Hillock, who partic-
ipatcs in work study at the School of Education.
Wixon said that while there are community ser-
vice programs where volunteers tutor older chil-
dren who have difficulty, she said this program is
different.
I'
e
ac
"The thing that is very unique about this program is
that it is targeted at very young children,' Wixon said.
Most tutoring programs are targeted at older chil-
dren.
Damm said the Office of the Provost has sent letters
to all incoming first-year students to inform them
about the program.
"We want a mix of seniors.juniors, sophomores and
first-year students," Damm said.
Damm said that while it may
be more convenient for
it a University students to bus the
children to the University for
rogram tutoring, transportation wil
most likely be provided through
a work study funds for the
yy University students to go to the
elementary schools.
Karen Wixon "That's not a good idea, to put
them on a bus three times a
SSitant dean week," Damm said.
Michigan Student Assembly
Vice-President Olga Savic said
the program will be beneficial to both University and
elementary students.
"It seems like it's a good way to have students give
back to the community for the University students and
the elementary school students," Savic said. "It could
be a very positive experience. We should utilize
University students in a positive way for the commu-
nity while they get paid in return."
