By Janet Adamy Daily Staff Reporter 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. Memoiial service pla Sfor Comaif By Jenni Yachnin Daily Staff Reporter By Jenni Yachnin DailyStaff Reporter 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.

"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. A few students said they are skepti- cal of students advertising moving rt had and storage ser- vices. ith "When you see the 764- numbers ar ~ on fliers you don't pay attention to Reichenbach them because you 'ear student know it's just stu- dents," said LSA sophomore Diego Bernal. "You're scared they might take your stuff and keep it." During move-out in the residence halls, some students leave University property, like bed frames and desk chairs, in the hallway for extended peri- ods of time. "There arc too many people that go unaccounted in this period,' 'Levy said. "Students shouldn't leave items they are financially liable for unattended." Many students leave sections of lofts scattered in the hallway when they put University beds back into their rooms. your instincts -_if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck."

"As far as drawing people in to see (the burial), it should be.pri- vate," Koozman said. During the service, a commemo- rative plaque will be presented. The plaque will be purchased by Comair and engraved with the names of those who died in the crash, Koozman said. "Comnair has done this in the past with other victims' memorial ser- vices." Koozman said. R e s i d e n t Advisers and stu- dents at Mary Markley resi- dence hall said they were unaware of the planned memori- Sharangpani al service. "I would have liked to have known about the service," said Engineering first-year student Stacey Waxton.

Markley Resident Director and LSA senior Chad Bailey said he was unaware of the memorial ser- vice. "I hadn't heard anything about it." Bailey said. Comair officials could not br reached for comment. By Jeffrey Kosseff Daily Stati Reporter 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."
