Compiled by Daily Staff Reporter Nikita Easley Bollinger to continue fund-raising push By Erin Hoies Daily Staff Reporter A year and $1.5 billion after the five-year Campaign for Michigan fundraising effort officially ended, the University is setting its sights on individ- ual donors for a bright financial future. The push toward more individualized sponsorship arose from the realization that these donors "simply have much more financial potential" than corpora- tions, said Vice President for Development Susan Fagan. The percentage of total gifts donated to the University by individuals, Fagan said, has grown during the past 10 years - from 51 percent in 1988 to 58 percent last year. "This is certainly a heartening trend," Fagan said. "We hope over time to see the percentage grow, per- haps to 65 or 70 percent." University President Lee Bollinger said he is mak- ing special efforts to maintain close ties with institu- tional donors scattered around the nation. "I've been appearing before alumni and founda- tions to try and enlist the support and advice of small groups" Bollinger said. "I want them to really offer their energies and donations." It is important to recognize individual sponsors as integral University contributors, Fagan said because corporations and associations, which comprise the two other major donating groups, have guidelines limiting the amount of money they give the University. The majority of these individual sponsorships are pondered by of University alumni, Fagan said. "The alumni body here is so large, and we have a tradition of commitment and devotion" Fagan said. "We need to spend more time with individuals so they understand where their money is going." Since no donor campaigns are scheduled for 1998, Fagan said, the University will have to "work extra hard" to raise money. Bollinger said he hopes the fund-raising confer- ences, aimed at a small group of people in "each of the major U.S. cities," will positively influence upcoming financial campaigns. Bollinger cited the Capital Campaign, another organized, campus-wide campaign that may be pro- moted in three to five years, as a chance to use the connections he is forming with individual sponsors. "We need to begin building now' Bollinger said. Fagan said Bollinger is "part of the whole con- cept" of private sponsorships. "We want to make sure people who contributed to the success of our last campaign continue to feel engaged with the University and stay in touch," Fagan said. "Many will continue to make gifts in the future." The Campaign for Michigan initialized the goal of incorporating more pnvaie support to he University and keeping donors interesteId in con- tributing money through the ycars. "Our goal as we begnthe 1990s was to build pi- vate support of the I niversity:' former Iniversity President .lames i)uderstadt said" [he reason for campaigns is not to raise a specific amount oCr a spe- cific purpose, but rather to raiise the level of annual gifts because the impact of the canpaign lasts for years." Last year, the University raised another S 1 75 million -a 13-percent increase froi 1996. "We raised $30 million in new pie des - - i another record year; Pugan said addinw. that the i ills reflect the momentum of f'und-raising at the University. The University must rely on a lame number of individual donors, Duderstadt said, in order to su-. cessfully reach its financial goals. Take it to the limit Regents agree to change administrative structure Board approves 'U'relations posts By Katie Plona Daily Staff Reporter The University Board of Regents confidently decided yesterday to increase the number of chairs placed at the regents' table - both literally and figuratively. Seated around an already full table in the Regents' Room of the Fleming Administration Building, the board unanimously supported University President Lee Bollinger's plan to divide one major administrative posi- tion into three, increasing the number of University vice presidents from eight to 10. The vice president for University relations post was split into three sepa- rate positions - media relations, University secretary and government relations. The regents approved the appoint- ment of Cynthia Wilbanks as vice pres- ident for government relations and Lisa Tedesco as vice president and secretary of the University. Bollinger has yet to name a vice president for media rela- tions. Bollinger's latest structural change closes two years of constant flux within the University's administra- tion. Since Bollinger took office Feb. 1, 1997, the faces in Fleming have changed, leaving Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford as the only permanent executive officer remaining from the past administra- tion. As the new administrators settle into their jobs, Bollinger's actions continue to reaffirm his idea of struc- turing each executive office and title around the people who are doing the work. "It's my view that it is appropriate at this point in the life of the University to separate those out into two positions and have people who actually do that work ... be vice pres- idents, he said. Wilbanks has been the University's chief lobbyist in Lansing for more than three years and has worked within the Office of University Relations. Under Bollinger's new structure, Wilbanks will oversee all University government programs as the head of the Office of Government Relations. She will report directly to Bollinger. Tedesco has served as associate dean of for academic affairs in the School of Dentistry. She will act as the ombuds between the regents and administration. The regents also approved the University's chief legal officers yester- day. Marvin Krislov will serve as vice president and general counsel and Liz Barry as associate vice president and deputy general counsel. Several regents applauded Bollinger's decision to shiti the oriai- zation of the University's administra- tion and place more emphasis on the people in the positions, rather t han their titles and positions. Regent Andrea Fischer Newman (R-Ann Arbor) said she is amazed by the quality of people Bollinger has attracted to the University, and she views them as a rc flection or Bollinger. "I'm very excited about everyone" Fischer Newman said. Regent Rebecca Mclowan (D-Axa Arbor) and others echoed Fischer Newman's comments. i3ut McGowan cautioned against overcrowding the table. She said the board fully supports the administrative changes that have been made, but said any future recommenda- tions probably will be subject to greater scrutiny. The board also approved the cre- ation of a new position in the l)eim of Students' office. Teresa (rahar Brett will become the associate dean of students and will oversee several programs and University depart- ments, including The Office opf Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Affairs and Intergroup Relations Conflict and Community.

Women's studies celebrates 25 years By Stephanie Hepburn Daily Staff Reporter Students, professors and community members filled the East Conference Room of the Rackham Graduate school yesterday to hear anthropologist and activist Gayle Rubin talk about her experience in Ann Arbor during the late '60s. In honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Women's Studies Department, Rubin - an activist, scholar, founder and first graduate of the Women's Studies pro- gram - gave a speech titled, "Revisioning Ann Arbor's radical past." Rubin arrived at the University in 1966 at age 17. She left her small Southern town for politically-charged of Ann Arbor. Anti-war organizations and the Students for a Democratic Society were being formed to protest Vietnam. Yet tradition and barriers still hindered women, so changes began to take place. When she arrived there was still a sign on the Michigan football field that stated, "No women, children or dogs on the field," Rubin said. "Changes emerged from the '60s at breath-taking speed," Rubin said. "Many barriers to women shifted like plates in an earthquake. Many stresses had built up over the years. Previous generations had laid so much of the, groundwork." Karen Miller, editor of the Michigan Feminist Studies journal, said she believes it is important for women to know the history of the struggles and barriers that women like Rubin fought to break. "Its really important for women today to see that activism has effects and to see the groundwork by grass roots for the instruction that they take for granted," Miller said. In 1966, women were required to live in residence halls for two years. Residence halls were supposed to replace parental supervision. Under a rule called "in loco parentis." "Letting women into the University was considered a dangerous experi- ment," Rubin said. Men were let into the University on the basis of room in the classroom. Women, however, were let into the University on the basis of supervised beds, Rubin said. "Women had a curfew;" Rubin said. "We had to be in the dorm at 11 p.m. on the weekdays and midnight on the weekends. We also had the open opens rule, which meant that when men or women were in the same dorm room the door had to be open at a 45 degree angle so a supervisor could walk by and make sure both sets of feet were on the floor" In 1967, Rubin and fellow female students helped abolish the curfew. RC senior Danielle Gorden, a women's studies major, said she thought Rubin's speech was interesting and critical for students to hear. "I thought it was really interesting," Gorden said. "It was very reflective of the time and of how women still feel." Teens may face deportation for incest even if charges are reduced, MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich.
