IGNELZI Continued from Page 1 testament to the resources that we all have on this campus to be better teach- ers." - Ignelzi's teaching technique was rec- ognized by faculty and students alike. "In my short time at the Dental school, I have heard nothing but good things about him," first-year Dental student Louis Whitesman said. "The word on the street is that he is a great teacher and an amazing researcher. He has made many con- tributions to the (Dental) school and to dentistry," he added. "I personally have not had the opportunity to take Dr. Ignelzi's class, but I definitely am looking forward to having him as a profes- sor in the future," he added. Ignelzi is pleased that "students real- ly get into it and they have fun in the process. They must generate knowl- edge apply knowledge, and share knowledge." In addition, Ignelzi said that while researching a topic is impor- tant, "the true value comes in being able to apply those skills else- where." For his version of Jeopardy!, Ignelzi divides the class into groups and assigns an anomaly to each group. These groups are then responsible for doing research on that topic and generating a handout that can be used as a reference tool when the course is over. On competition days, a Power- Point game board is displayed on a large screen, and, like in the televi- sion show, there are main categories with questions to choose from and students are given buzzers to ring in their answers. Ignelzi also treats patients and con- ducts research on birth defects that affect children's skulls that is funded by the National Institutes of Health. "That's the advantage and fun of being at the University. I can teach, see patients and do research, Ignelzi said. AIRPORT Continued from Page 1 "Seeing as how the airports have been congested lately, I wouldn't be surprised if we run into problems and delays," said LSA junior Louisa Kennedy, who is traveling to Florida for spring break. "But I'm sure we'll figure it out." Travelers should still arrive to the airport two to three hours before the scheduled departure time. "I'm more concerned with the changes in security," Engineering sophomore Kevin Toller said. "I'm more concerned with the flight being secure than being picky about where I land." Construction on the new terminal began in 1997 to satisfy the growing traveling population - whose num- bers had been breaking records since 1989 - passing through Detroit Metro Airport.. In April 2001, it was estimated that 670 million people travel by air each year, Conway said. "In the next decade they estimate 1 billion. ... Seven airports the size of Dallas would need to be built to meet those demands," he added. This terminal expansion follows the addition of a sixth runway in Decem- ber 2001, which also helped to increase airport capacity. "Even though the new runway is overlooked, it's really appreciated in the airline community," Conway said. "It raised peak-time capacity by 25 percent." The old concourses inside the Davey Terminal, which currently house Northwest and its affiliates, will begin renovations in 2006 or 2007. During the reconstruction the old concourses will be demolished and rebuilt in a "linear" concourse style much like McNamara's, Conway said. The vacancies caused by Northwest's relocation to McNamara will be filled with the remaining airlines until the remodeling is complete. HATE CRIMES Continued from Page 1 dent and take action. Psychology Prof. Charles Behling said the first reaction the class had after hearing about the messages was to comfort Robinson, but soon the students' thoughts changed gears. "They felt this was a question of action and not just feeling badly about it," Behling said. As a result, the class started mail- ing out flyers to students in Couzens, hoping that residents would show their support by posting them on their doors. Behling said he was proud of his class for taking action and arousing awareness, but said he hoped their efforts to combat racism were not anything extraordinary. "I think we need to ask ourselves what kind of people we would be if we didn't respond to an outright act of "People think that it's 2002 and they think that racism is over, and I disagree." - Ravi Perry LSA freshman and LSA-SG representative hate," he said. As word of the harassment spread, LSA Student Government became involved. Robinson's class chose to focus only on Couzens, but LSA-SG members are hoping to take the cam- paign against hate crimes campus- wide today through mailed letters and flyers that will decorate the halls around campus. LSA-SG President Rachel Tron- stein, an LSA junior, said the group took up the cause to spread awareness that hate crimes do happen on campus. "I think that while it was horrible, it is a great educational opportuni- ty," Tronstein said. "The fact that it happened is indicative that the senti- ment exists." LSA-SG also sought support from student groups on campus to help with flyering, and more than 60 groups signed on to help. LSA freshman Ravi Perry, an LSA-SG representative and chair of the Ethnic Studies Task Force, said that, to him, the flyers' message was especially important because stu- dents don't realize how often hate crimes occur. "People think that it's 2002 and they think that racism is over, and I disagree. I think we still have a lot of work to do," Perry said.

Student groups have been vocal in expressing their opinions about how accessible the president should be, Lewis added. "Students are willing to engage and push the envelope of this University," Lewis said. "The accessibility of the-president and how accessible you are while still being able to do your job is impor- tant," he added. The president who comes in should not merely maintain what others have done, but also bring a vision with him or her. That person should also be able to deliver and institute a plan to real- ize that vision, Lewis said: Nominations and comments can be sent to the committee via their web- site, www umich. edu/~regents/search. ,, .
