State Street 663-4121 Paxon voices decision latop c leave poit ic WASHINGiTON (AP)-- Once a fast-rising GOP star. New York Rep. Bill Paxon jettisoned his politi- cal career yesterday seven months after his involve- ment in a messy failed coup against House Speaker Neat (ingrich. "I will never run for office again. Never. Not even for dog warden." said Paxon, who had been weighing a challenge to Majority Leader Dick Armey that could have exposed deep divisions in Republican ranks. "The priority of family must now take precedence over politics:" Paxon added in a letterto his GOP col- leagues. Ie said he and his wife, former Rep. Susan Molinari (R-N.YI), parents of a daughter whose sec- ond birthday is this spring, hope to have additional children. Sie resigned her seat last year to begin a new career at CBS-TV Paxon said ie would serve out the remainder of his current term, then "tailor my next career around our family." In the months since Gingrich snapped up his offer to resign his leadership post, Paxon had moved to the brink of a challenge to Armey in hopes of position- ing himself to become the next GOP speaker. He told reporters he had decided last week to make the race, then changed his mind for family reasons. "I took those lists last night and I put them through that paper shredder" he said of the notes he had made of conversations with GOP colleagues. U.S. Rep. Bill Paxon (R-New York) speaks at a press conference yesterday with his wife, Susan Molinari, to announce his retirement from politics. PRESI DENT Continued from Page 1A "tie wias great for the times," said former Michigan Student Assembly President James Feeney. "When he entered a room, you knew he was there. But thingst have evolved over ti1'he. The position is more hands- on." "Tie seemed like a popular University president, but he might have been a little confused about the students," Feeney said. McKeachie said he remembers one dinner when Hatcher talked about his confusion regarding sti- dents picketing his house. "I Cever met (Hatcher). but iI those days it vas different; we didn't see really see or meet the president,'. said University alcimnus Ronald IHlackett. Rackham sitidCit David Lemmerhirt said the role of today's University president is "to define the image of the University and direct it into action which will por- tray the University inl a positive Wav. But because the role of the presi- dent was different during Hatcher s term. the 1(-year president is remembered for different things. 'One thing which sticks out in vl t mind is his absolutely superb com- mand of the English languge," McCracken said. "ie flawlessly criafted his latguage. It was just pleasure to listen to him" Hatcher had less interaction with faculty, as well as students. "He would not initiate interaction or ask for advice," said McKeachie, who served on the faculty's govern- ing body during IHatcher's term a president. "We would sometime schedule breakfast with him to tall and when given, he wvOuld often tak our advice. Close friends of Hlate described him as being "graciouts and a model human. "For 40 years I was a very goo friend of Hatcher and his wife," sai Prof. emeritus of accounting Waite Kell. "I admitire him tremendously. H was a courageouis imanv of hig stature. a COURSE GUIDE Continued from Page1IA class homepages and even syllabi for courses all will be available online in the future. "We're no longer going to be constrained by the 150-word limit" Wallin said. 'Ihe online course guide is also going to be accurate to the minute. By the time a cvurse guide is printed. there are usually over a hundred changes in the courses." Students said they have mixed feelings about gytitig online to find course descriptions. "I suppose it's better for the environment ' said LSA senior Kara Kobrzycki. "I would prefer to have a hard copy. I won't be too excited about looking at courses online." Other students greeted the news of added fea- tures with enthusiasm. "I think once lthey put the extras in, it will be a lot better than having the regular course guide,' said LSA sophomore Philippa Lchar. The driving force behind this change was LSA DeanI die Goldenberg, who has been pursuing to put the LSA course guide exclusively online for the past fewi years. There were "complaints received in the past about hard copy that can't be easily updated Goldenberg said. "Having an online version will permit regula updates and we regard that as an enormous advan tage for our students," Goldenberg said. "W expect students to be pleased to have accurati up-to-date information." The time schedule, which is published by th Office of the Registrar, will continue to be avai able in print and online. Assistant Registrar Lynn Adelman said studeq and faculty still need and want print versions c the time schedule. READ THE DAILY. RECYCLE THE DAILY.
