U-M Flint raises money
from student donations

By Hong Lin
For the Daily
With the holidays approaching, giving is on the minds of
many people. But officials at the University of Michigan's
Flint campus hope students will be especially generous
when opening their pocketbooks --- generous enough to
donate to their school.
The University's Flint campus recently began a student
pledge campaign, which involves asking students to donate
money to the University while they are still in school.
"What we really wanted to accomplish through this cam-
paign is introduce the idea of giving to our student body,"
said Dan Haggerty, president of the Student Government
Council.
Dino Hernandez, director of annual giving, said the cam-
paign is based on altruistic motives.
"The main purpose of this campaign was to introduce the
idea of giving. I was instilled with the idea of giving at a
young age," Hernandez said. "We feel that it would be ben-
eficial for our students to be exposed to that same idea.
"Other schools around the nation have similar campaigns
like ours that only involves graduating seniors. Our thinking
was: Why only graduating seniors? Why not involve the

"Typically only about 18-20 percent of our alumni donate
money back to the school. Hopefully, through the introduc-
tion of this campaign now, they will learn to give back to the
school" said Haggerty, adding that the University's Flint
campus also needs to supplement state funds.
Haggerty said the Flint campus hopes to raise a total of
$5,000 from its students and has already netted $3,450.
"All the money that we get will go towards buying a 60-
inch television," Haggerty said.
Hernandez labeled the fundraising campaign "very suc-
cessful."
"We only expected about 10 percent of the students to
give, but more have given. No one had been upset by us
approaching them," Hernandez said.
But students said the reaction is more mixed.
"Many people had donated, while others are upset by it,
said Stephanie Hooker, a junior at the School of
Management on the Flint campus.
Jenny Prezzato, a sophomore in the School of Arts and
Sciences on the Flint campus, said she would back the cam-
paign --- if she could. "If I had the money, I would donate
because I like the campus."
Both Hooker and Prezzato said the fundraising campaign
has not exactly taken the student body by storm. Hooker

1 $786 million airline terminal opens
other opportunities for commerce
DETROIT (AP) -- Forty stores and a conference hotel
are on tap for Detroit Metropolitan Airport by late 2001,
with the addition of the. facility's $786 million midfield
terminal.
The-mall and hotel would enable the airport to tap into an
international market of businesspersons flying in and out of
Detroit for meetings on the same day.
"That is not a market that is open for us today because we
don'thave the facilities that are amenable for large numbers
.people flying in for a meeting for a day and then flying
t," Bob Braun, Wayne County's airports director, told the
Detroit Free Press in a story for yesterday. "That would open
a whole new market for us."
Both the new midfield terminal and a mile-long east con-
course are being designed to allow another three to five sto-
ries, each up to 500,000 square feet. The hotel would be
included in the additional stories.
Wayne County, which owns the airport, is expected to
solicit bids from hotel chains in 1998 or early 1999. But two
national chains already have asked about building and oper-
ng the hotel, Braun said.
he mall would be located beyond security checkpoints in
a section of the terminal, allowing travelers to shop in the
upscale stores.
More than 23.6 million travelers are expected to pass

through the new terminal during its first year. It will be used
by Northwest Airlines, the airport's principal carrier, and
international flights.
The county is studying what kind of shopping and dining
should be offered. Two national consulting firms, Booz Allen
& Hamilton of San Francisco and Unison Consulting Group
Inc. of Chicago, are expected to finish the study in May or
June.
Detroit architect SH&G plans to use the results to com-
plete its design of the terminal.
Booz Allen & Hamilton and Unison will decide which
retailers and restaurants will work best by looking at pas-
senger incomes, shopping and dining preferences, and
time spent at the airport. They also are examining which
of the airport's existing concessions makes the most
money. The data will then be compared with that of other
airports.
Braun said food and beverage concessions will get the
most space because they are the most popular and prof-
itable. Retail stores will have the second-largest amount
of space; duty-free shopping will get the least.
Other airports that have opened shopping malls inside
their facilities include Pittsburgh International Airport,
Denver International Airport and Amsterdam's Schipol
Airport.
John F. Kennedy International Airport's Terminal One
will feature European and U.S. designer shops when it
opens next spring in New York.

QUADRUPLETS
Continued from Page 1
Multiple fetuses are in more danger
than a single fetus because they are fre-
quently born premature, which can
cause developmental problems.
But premature babies often grow up
perfectly healthy. The four Treber girls,
born nine weeks premature, are all liv-
ing at home and progressing well.
Another factor influencing the com-
monality of multiple births is the growing
number of older women giving birth.
"The older the woman, the higher the
incidence of multiple births," said
obstetrics Prof. Robert Hayashi, direc-
tor of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the
University's Medical Center.
Many of the women who seek fertility
treatments are older and the combination
of fertility drugs and age often translates
into multiple births, Hayashi said.
Doctors will often advise patients
with multiple fetuses to abort some of
them, so the others can be more healthy
in a procedure called reduction. The
Trebers said they are happy they chose

not to opt for a reduction.
"The rewards are so much greater
than the risks," Tabitha said. "We pre-
vented the risks. My mother went on
bedrest early on and ate a lot of food."
There are two types of fertility drugs, a
tablet taken orally called clomiphene cit-
rate and an injected shot of follicle stim-
ulating hormone, Christman said. Both
drugs enhance ovulation, the production
of eggs in a woman's body, and hence
increase the chances of fertilization.
"One of our goals is to use all of
these medications cautiously,"
Christman said. "A healthy pregnancy
is preferably one baby."
Another option is invitro fertiliza-
tion, in which eggs are removed from
the woman, fertilized and placed back
into the uterus. Fertility drugs are used
to produce a high number of eggs in the
woman, and often more than one fertil-
ized egg is put back.
Simple chance also plays a role in the
occurrence of multiple births. In the case
of the Iowan septuplets, the mother
received the fertility drug Pergonal. A
higher dose was administered during her

a role in starting the

school."

"just another thing that is going on in
first pregnancy, which resulted in only
one child, than her second pregnancy.
when she conceived the septuplets.
The costs of giving birth to so many
babies can take a financial toll on the
family. In addition to the expense of the
fertility treatments, hospital stays and
the labor process can be exorbitant. For
the birth of the Treber quadruplets, 29
doctors were present while the mother
had a Caesarean section.
"Financially, it's affected us vry
much," Tabitha said.
Patients require different doses of the
fertility drugs, depending on their ages
and other factors. The task of regulating
how much of a fertility drug to give a
patient is left to the discretion of fertili-
ty centers.
"Obviously, our goal is to make a
diagnosis and use the least risky treat-
ments," Christmar said.
Still, most doctors agree thathe
advent of fertility drugs has been a pos-
itive addition to the world of obstetrics.
"Fertility drugs have brought happiness
to a lot of families that wouldn't have had
children otherwise," Hayashi said.
