The museum, which currently displays only 3 percent of its collection due to space shortages, will be expanded, doubling its existing space. The project, to be funded primarily through pri- vate funding, has already received $6 million in donations. But construction will not start until fundraising is complete, University President Mary Sue Coleman said at yesterday's Regents' board meeting in Flint. A major fundraising campaign will begin next year, hoping to capitalize on the recent attention generated from the museum's high-profile exhibits like the current art on loan from the State Her- mitage Museum in St. Petersburg - artwork dis- played in the United States for the first time. "As demonstrated so clearly by the St. Peters- burg tricentennial, the (University's) museum plays a significant role in supporting interdisciplinary learning and engaging the community in the visual arts," Coleman said. Museum Director James Steward said he is excited about the approval of the renovation project. "The museum is in desperate condition when it comes to space," Steward said, who has been direc- tor since 1998. "We struggle with the space." Steward added that the expansion might be added in the space between Angell Hall and the museum. Ann Arbor resident Susanne Alexander gives weekly talks on special exhibits at the museum. "It will be terrific to have more space for our large collection," "As demonstrated so clearly by the St. Petersburg tricentennial, the (University's) museum plays a significant role in interdisciplinary learning and engaging the community in the arts." - Mary Sue Coleman University President Alexander saids. "It will benefit visitors and staff." Allied Works Architecture, based in Portland, Ore., has been asked to undertake the job. Plans include the addition of classrooms, a small restau- rant and more exhibit space. "Allied Works Architecture is now doing some of the most refined museum buildings in the United States," Steward said. "I admire their ability to combine a warm and elegant minimal- ism with great sensitivity to historically signifi- cant structures." READ TH E PAPER.. BEF....RE. ANYVONE ELSE.....

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch made no comment after delaying for a third time a scheduled vote on the nomination of Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Henry Saad. President Bush has nomi- nated Saad for a seat on the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals. Saad's nomination process has been a rocky one. U.S. U.S. Sen. Carl Levin (D-Detroit) and Debbie Stabenow (D- Lansing) attempted to block a hearing on Saad's nomination over the summer. They were angered because former Michi- gan Sen. Spencer Abraham, a Republican, had blocked hear- ings on two of President Clin- ton's nominees. Margarita Tapia, a spokes- woman for Hatch, said he and Levin are trying to work out a compromise, but she wouldn't discuss any details. Stabenow was further angered this month when she received e-mail com- ments from Saad that may have been inadvertently sent to her. In the e-mail, Saad complained about the nomination process and said, "perhaps some day (Stabenow) will pay the price for her misconduct." Stabenow and Levin sent a letter to White House counsel Alberto Gonzales on Oct. 4 say- ing the tone of Saad's e-mail was highly offensive.
