King did not return messages left at 10s office throughout the weekend.

Regents approve *new heart center By Usa Koivu Daily Staff Reporter Taking a page from its own Com- prehensive Cancer Center, the Uni- versity plans to bring all of its Weart-related resources under one roof in a proposed new cardiovascular center. The University Board of Regents unanimously approved plans to create such a center at its monthly meeting Friday. "Fighting such a deadly group of interrelated and common diseases requires the mustering of our resources in a cohesive and effective ashion," Executive Vice President or Medical Affairs Gil Omenn said in a written statement. Omenn did not elaborate on plans for the center at the meeting. "This center will help our institu- tion serve the people of this state and this nation better, as we combat both the causes and the effects of cardio- vascular disease," Omenn said. Usage of the University's adult car- *iology services has increased nearly 22 percent over the past three years. The new building, which is still in the planning stages, will house facili- ties for invasive and noninvasive pro- cedures and outpatient programs that will allow patients to see multiple specialists in one visit. After not having a meeting last month, the regents had a large agen- da to discuss at this month's meeting. They also discussed parking options *vailable for staff and faculty at the University. Chief Financial Officer Robert Kasdin announced that by 2002, a total of 2,611 new parking spaces will be available. Kasdin said the University didn't gain any new space for parking, it just made better use of what was available.

The project was invited to the Uni- versity by the campus Students for Life and Chi Alpha Christian Fellow- ship groups. "We're essentially doing what Mar- tin Luther King did with his compari- son of the brutalization of blacks to the brutalization of Jews," said Gregg Cunningham, director of the CBR. Cunningham said the project aims to remind Americans of a Time magazine report which cited that I million holocaust victims were new- born children. "We're saying, 'What is the differ- ence between an infant Jew in a death camp and a fetus in the process of being born?"'he said. Cunningham said responses to the project have varied from sympathetic to violent. At the University of Kansas, a stu- dent drove his car into the project.

At an age when students already have spent four years as an undergraduate making friends and contacts, first-year graduate stu- dents at the University must start again from undergraduates, graduate students said their interaction is often limited to people in their fields of study. After completing his undergraduate work at the University of Utah, Paulos said he has met people in his classes but is only starting to build his social circle here. "Age is always there in the back of my mind," he said. "Walking to class I see these kids who are just starting their college careers, but I feel like here I'm just as new and unknown as they are." Jayne London, program representative of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies administration, gives great importance to social interactions in a graduate student's life. "Grad students can be here for a long time a grad student leaving his or her program of study." About four years ago a group of graduate students began "Social Grads," a group that brings together those new to the University who want to meet other new students in a relaxed environment. Physics graduate student research assis- tant David Chin, who received a master's degree at Oregon State University, has been involved with Social Grads for two years. "We provide lightly structured, low- stress events as an alternative to the bar scene for people to communicate with other grads who they wouldn't see on a daily basis," Chin said.

Thompson's time of 14:56.81 bettered American Erik Vendt's previous record of 14:59.11, set at the U.S. Olympic trials Aug. 16. "It's been a longtime goal of his to be the American record-holder," assistant Michigan coach Eric Namesnik said. "It's a surprise, but he's been getting better and better, so it's not that big of a surprise." Australia's Grant Hackett finished first in 14:48.33, upset- ting fellow countryman and silver-medalist Kieren Perkins. After falling to sixth place through the first 250 meters, Thompson moved into third place two laps later. He was then locked in a battle with Russia's Alexei Filipets, South Africa's Ryk Neethling and Vendt for third place. University of Arizona graduate Neethling finished first ahead of Thompson in the mile swim at the NCAA Cham- pionships in Thompson's first two years at Michigan. Uni- versity of Southern California sophomore Vendt defeated Thompson last year. Namesnik does not expect that Thompson felt any rivalry with those twoor used it as a motivation for this swim.

Alan Haber, the first president of Students for Democratic Society, said he established the group while living in his apartment that now is the upper level of the restaurant University students, faculty and commu- (ity members got a taste of history yester- day as "Rebels With A Cause" premiered at the Michigan Theater. The documentary focuses on the active role SDS had in the 1960s political movement. When students at the University fonned the first chapter of SDS. the group concen- trated on civil rights. But as chapters expanded at universities across the nation - eventually topping off at 400 - the group also tackled issues including the Viet- gm War, the draft and the women's move- Went. In April 1965 the group organized its first of many marches on Washington, D.C., protesting U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Helen Garvy, who directed of the docu- mentary, made the film in order to preserve the activist and SDS history that she said has been distorted over the years. Over time and government intervention, she believes the activist role has been toned down. "If they can convince you that there is no effect that you can make, then why try," said Garvy, who belonged to the SDS chapter at Harvard University. Associate producer and SDS member Robert Pardun said the movie is important because it reveals what an impact the stu- dents made. "I think it is a good thing to get out there. People don't realize how serious (the government) took us," he said. During the 1960s, the FBI formed the Counter Intelligence Program in order to neutralize the student activist movement. Members of main council of SDS each had an extensive FBI file.
