2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 30, 2001 NATION/WORLD City to choose from five finalists for police chief I CHIEF Continued from Page 1 city of Ypsilanti, said the most important thing to him is communication between citizens and the police force on both a "filter-up" and "filter-down" direction. "I would look at the community and see if there are issues that need to be addressed," King said: "We need to make sure people understand our primary role - enforcing laws." Schebil, a University alum who served as the Washtenaw County Sheriff until last year, said he remembers attending the University and understands some of the problems facing both students and the community. "There is a huge difference between feel- ing safe and being safe," Schebil said. "The University affects the community and will continue to - I'd sincerely like to keep a bal- ance." Mayor John Hieftje said the city is search- ing for a chief who is very articulate and understands the needs of the city. "We want someone who respects the deep quali- ties and diversity of our city," Hieftje said. "It has to be someone who recognizes our special quali- ties." Former Deputy Chief Walter Lunsford has been serving as interim police chief since Carl Ent's resignation last January. After the city hired the Police Executive Research Forum, an outside organization dedicated to recruiting applicants, 52 candi- dates were narrowed down to five finalists, said Susan Pollay, associate city administra- tor. Today, the candidates will meet individually with City Administrator Neil Berlin, who said he hopes to make a proposal to the City Council by the end of February. NEWS IN BRIEF , .. WASHINGTON Bush to tap religious groups for charity President Bush said yesterday he will tap religious institutions for more chari- table work, confronting critics who say using public money for such programs could violate the wall between church and state. "Compassion is the work of a. nation, not just a government," he said. Bush established a White House office that would distribute billions of dollars to religious groups and charities over the next 10 years. The president said such groups grapple daily with "deep needs and real suffering" in communities, and deserve a chance to compete for taxpayer money for after-school programs, prison ministries and drug treatment, among other things. "Government will never be replaced by charities and community groups," Bush said. "Yet when we see social needs in America, my administration will look first to faith-based programs. ... We will not discriminate against them." The president signed two executive orders, one to establish a White House office of religion-based community initiatives, and the other instructing five Cab- inet-level agencies to create entities to work with religious groups. Bush said he* issued the second order to clear barriers "that make private groups hesitant to work with government." WASHINGTON Leahy to vote against Ashcroft confirnmation The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee said yesterday he will vote against attorney general-designate John Ashcroft as the Senate neared show- down votes on the contentious nomination and Republicans continued to predict Ashcroft's confirmation. The announcement by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the highest ranking of about a dozen Democrats who have thus far said they will vote against Ashcroft, came as the judiciary panel scheduled a vote this afternoon on the nomination. The Senate could vote by the end of the week. Ashcroft's supporters and foes worked furiously to court the unusually large number of senators, virtually all of them Democrats, who have yet to declare a position on the nomination. Nowhere was the focus more intense than on Wisconsin's two Democratic sen- ators, Herb Kohl and Russell Feingold. Both serve on the Judiciary Committee, and neither has said how he will vote. With each party having nine votes on the committee, a tie is possible - a development that, although it would do little to block Ashcroft's confirmation, could boost the morale of his foes.

The lowest-paid employee is Bill Martin, who refused to be paid when appointed to replace Tom Goss as athletic director last fall. Martin is returning what would have been a $250,000 salary this year to the Athletic Department budget, Madej said, but will accept his pay next year. Goss earned $280,500 in his final year at the University - the 10th highest salary on campus. LSA Dean Shirley Neuman received an increase of 17.8 percent, to $265,000, surpassing Provost Nancy Cantor to become the University's highest-paid woman. ion efforts. "We are looking to channel funds to organizations which are going to work for the long erm relief measures," Parki said. The Indian Student Association and Indian American Student Association have organized a base on campus. The two groups will be accepting donations from 3 to 5 p.m. today hrough Thursday in Room 4302 of the Michi- gan Union. Several of the most needed supplies are warm clothes and blankets, candles, matches, non-perishable food products and simple medical supplies such aspirin, soap and ban- dages. Although the groups do not yet have a final total on the amount of moley and supplies donated ince Friday, the support from the University com- munity has been strong. "Everyone has been pulling there weight, but obviously we can do a lot more," LSA freshman Deven Desai said. Neuman ranks 17th overall, and Cantor, wli ranks 19th, will earn $263,670. Pay raises for a deans are set by Cantor. Knepp attributed Neuman's raise to the scopei her job and to Cantor's desire to bring the dear salary in line with many of her colleagues. "In her first year here, she really showed leade ship in our largest college ... that it warranted su< an increase,' Knepp said. One of the largest increases among the Univers ty's 13 executive officers' salaries went to Vice Pres dent for Development Sue Feagin. Feagin's 7 percent raise was due to her role in t1 University's upcoming fundraising campaign, which set to begin next year. "Susan's position during ti time is going to be quite significant," said Universi spokeswoman Julie Peterson. Meanwhile, a 3 percent raise for Omenn was ti MARJORIE MARSHALL/Daily Graduate Employees Organization President Cedric Deleon, Peri Weingrad, Mark Dilley and Karen Miller discuss graduate student concerns at a conference yesterday.

"We really want the University to prioritize grad- uate education, all education, over the bottom line and we feel that this is one of the policies the Uni- versity is putting out that undermines education," Miller said. GEO Secretary Nick Syrett said he felt the new policy wouldn't benefit students because it would give departments an incentive to select less quali- fied applicants if they were in-state or for another reason would be paid less. "You shouldn't be taught by the second best or the third best," Syrett said. "You should be taught by the most qualified peo- ple out there." lowest among the executive officers. "He wanted to be in line with what they were able to give everyone else in the Health System," Peterson said. Bollinger establishes the salaries for all executive officers except himself, whose pay increases are approved by the Board of Regents. Peterson said the average raises for staff members and the 2,256 faculty are roughly comparable with those at universities nationwide. The difference between faculty and staff increases, Peterson said, is that many faculty members receive promotions dur- ing the year while most staff members remain in the same capacity over several years. Factors such as generous state appropriations and a record amount of fundraising revenue combined to allow modest salary increases, Peterson said. "All the things that create a healthy financial picture for the University were in place last year." ENGLER Continued from Page 1 Republicans. And often people do not know who they are voting for." He added, "it is kind of degrading for justices to solicit money when they have to rule on things." In response to Democratic allega- tions that the governor is trying to carve out an overly large sphere of influence for himself, Steil said, "that's a false statement because he is term-limited in two years." University Vice President for Government Relations Cynthia Wilbanks said the governor often gives hints in the annual address regarding the higher education bud- get, which is to be announced by State Budget Director Janet Phipps on Feb. 8. She said the governor's speech often vaguely describes "the kind of priorities he has and the amount of resources he will ask the Legisla- ture to provide" in the annual bud- get address. Sen. John Schwarz (R-Battle Creek) said he expected the gover- nor to also mention tax considera- tions for high-tech industries coming to Michigan. "He will remind us all that it's going to be a tight year budgetwise and we have to keep a lid on spending." /jSchwarz said he agreed with the agovernor that there should be g ap pointed members of the state's W education boards and had introduced a bill to make, similar changes last wear. A M"WVA - amYo T"EriS JAKARTA, Indonesia Indonesian capital erupts in violence Police fired tear gas and warning shots as thousands of rock-throwing students stormed the gates of Indone- sia's parliament yesterday in the largest protest yet against the country's presi- dent. Three students were badly beaten by police as running battles broke out on the lawns of the heavily guarded legis- lature. An estimated 10,000 protesters had marched through the streets demanding that President Abdurrahman Wahid quit over two corruption scandals. Inside the legislature, lawmakers convened in a closed session to hear the results of a long-running investiga- tion into the twin affairs that have bogged down Wahid's 15-month administration. "Wahid must resign immediately," said student Ijan, who like many Indonesians only goes by one name. WASHINGTON Bush to address energy problems President Bush promised yester- day to "act boldly and swiftly" to address the nation's energy problems and directed Vice President Dick Cheney to head a task force to devel- op an energy strategy. Concerned that California's power crisis could spread into other states, Bush said he wanted a plan to address both short- and long-term energy problems. He gave no clear; indication of short-term policies he might be considering. "We're very aware ... that the situ- ation in California is beginning to affect neighboring states," Bush said after a meeting with Cheney and Cabinet members. Western governors are to confer. this Friday in Portland, Ore., at a meeting that also will be attended- by Energy Secretary Spencer Abra- ham. TORRINGTON, Conn.
