SEARCHES
Continued from Page A
Ed Petykiewicz, editor of The Ann
Arbor News, said he was "not thrilled"
with the changes, but could live with
them. "There's still a large part of the
process that has to be open to the pub-
lic" he said yesterday.
The two bills provide several key
amendments to previous regulations
dictated by the Michigan Open
Meetings Act:
Universities must now form search
advisory committees that must include
students, faculty, alumni and communi-
ty members and may include regents.
No group may form a majority of a
search committee, nor may a quorum of
regents serve on such a panel.
All preliminary stages of the
search may be kept secret until the field
is narrowed to five final candidates.
Interviews with the finalists and all
deliberations

ed in public. Interv

applying for the University presidency
for fear of jeopardizing their current
positions.
Both Rep. Mary Schroer (D-nn
Arbor) and Rep. Liz Brater (D-Ann
Arbor) voted against the bills, saying
the legislation was incomplete and ill-
considered.
Shroer said the Open Meetings Act
should have been examined "in totar"
as it pertains to numerous other entities,
such as community colleges. Brafer
agreed, saying the legislation fell into
the productive rush at the end of session
and was done in a "rather slipshod"
way.
Schwarz said action was necessary to
insure the quality of future university
presidents in the state.
"The first process was so contort a
by the courts that we were getiing to.a
line where no one would want to apply
for a presidency because of the hodps

MIKUNI, Japan (AP) - A massive
oil slick from a sunken Russian tanker
fouled Japan's jagged western shoreline
yesterday, threatening coastal fisheries
as high winds and waves thwarted the
cleanup.
Thick brown sludge covered the
rocky beach at Mikuni, about 110 miles
west of Tokyo.
Coast guard helicopters buzzed over-
head dropping chemicals to clear up the
962,000-gallon slick.
The 13,157-ton Nakhodka, bound for
Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, was
carrying 5 million gallons of fuel oil

"You definitely have to be careful,

Rodriguez, a Social Work graduate stu-
dent. "There's a lot of people just hang-
ing around. That area over there gets
kind of rowdy on the weekends."
NBD Assistant Vice President of
Public Relations Robert Darmaian said
he was not aware of the incident but
warned that students should not use
ATMs at night.
"We advise people to only use ATM
machines during the daytime and with a
friend," said Darmaian, who works in a
Detroit NBD office. "if you see some-
one lurking around, come back at
another time."
Two University students using an
ATM yesterday evening said they try
to be aware when using the
machines.
LSA first-year student Regina Frost
said she usually feels safe getting
money from the ATM because she
"always looks around."
LSA sophomore Laurie Piper said she
usually goes with a friend to the ATM.
"I don't feel safe if I'm alone," Piper
said.

the ship is believed to hold much of the

The drifting front part of the ship
finally ran aground yesterday, just 650
yards from the beach.
Two coast guard boats tried to tow
the ship's front part further offshore to
lessen the damage to the beach should
more oil spill, but the rope snapped and
the effort failed, coast guard spokesper-
son Shinji Sato said.
"It could take weeks - or months -
to clean up this mess,' Michio Yoda of
the Mikuni fire department said as he
eyed the oil slick from the shore.
FACULTY

Patterson attributes the number to
both a high number of African
Americans in Music and to successful
Music graduates who have become
professors and are "feeding their better
students to their alma mater."
Patterson said African American fac-
ulty members have made an "aggres-
sive effort" to perform in areas with a
high concentration of African
Americans, such as Detroit, and have
made these communities "fairly well
acquainted with African Americans in
the School of Music"
Engineering junior Brian Ebarvia,
vice chair of the United American
Asian Organization, said increasing the
number of minorities in the faculty has
a positive impact on all students, as
long the minorities being hired are
qualified.
"As students, if we get to see teach-
ers of different backgrounds, we get a
different perspective on what's being
taught," Ebarvia said.

During the recent University presi-

Faculty members formed a majority of
