Lewis will be named provost and executive vice president of Emory this summer. He will be the highest- ranking black administrator in the university's history, answering only to Emory's President Jim Wagner. In addition to overseeing more than 7,000 Rackham graduate stu- dents, Lewis is currently also the vice provost for academic affairs and graduate studies at the University. Lewis joined the faculty in 1989 and has served as dean since 1997. While working as a professor in the history department- and the Center for Afro-American and African Stud- ies, he was appointed director of CAAS in 1990. "Earl Lewis has made tremendous contributions to the University of Michigan as professor, director of CAAS and dean of Rackham," said Provost Paul Courant in a written statement. "He has shown himself to be a visionary and accomplished aca- demic leader. I salute Emory on their excellent taste." After the exit of former provost Rebecca Chopp in June 2001, administrators from Emory con- vened a search 5 advisory commit- Lewis tee to find some- one to fill the empty position last August. Following several interviews and visits to the Emory campus in Janu- ary and February this year, Lewis. was offered the position. Lewis was one of four final candi- dates considered. According to Ron Gould, professor of mathematics and computer sci- ence at Emory and a member of the search advisory committee, the members of the committee believed that Lewis embodies several of the qualities important to the selection. process. "It was a combination of his expe- rience and his knowledge of funda- mental issues facing big universi- ties," Gould said. "His personality and his vision of the future really struck a chord with the people in the committee." After receiving approval from the Emory Board of Trustees, Lewis will take up his position starting July 1. Wagner announced the hir- ing Tuesday. Members of the University com- munity have expressed disappoint- ment in Lewis's departure. "Earl Lewis has been a wonderful faculty member and administrative colleague during his 15-year tenure at Michigan," President Mary Sue Coleman said in a written statement yesterday. "We deeply regret losing him to Emory, but understand his desire to accept the role as provost." Lewis could not be reached for comment. Lewis majored in history and psy- chology and graduated from Concor- dia College in Moorhead, Minn., and earned his doctorate from the Uni- versity of Minnesota. Lewis then taught at the University of California at Berkeley for four- and-a-half years in Afro-American Studies.

Over the past few years, the Michi- ganensian yearbook has continually accumulated financial losses, failing to amass enough revenue to cover its costs. For Fiscal Year 2003, the year- book acquired a deficit of about $40,000. The yearbook in the past three years has produced losses rang- ing from about $20,000 to almost $100,000. The bulk of the Ensian's rev- enue arises from book sales, with earn- ings ranging from about $150,000 to $180,000 per year. Most agree that the primary problem is poor book sales - possibly resulting from a lagging economy - increased tuition and a lack of knowledge or interest in purchasing the Ensian. "The preference would be to sell it more effectively, and I think the stu- dents believe that too," said Alan Lenhoff, Board for Student Publica- tions chair. The board's job is to ensure financial solvency, guaranteeing that its three student publications - The Michigan Daily, The Gargoyle and the Michiganensian - stay in business for generations to come. To rectify the problem, Ensian staffers met with members of the board Monday to discuss ways to improve the yearbook's business model. This year's budget will focus on cutting losses and expenditures in order to break even, said Lenhoff, who is also an executive at Detroit Newspapers. But Student Publications Manager Sam Offen said the yearbook would most likely run another deficit this year. For Fiscal Year 2005, both the board and Ensian staffers resolved to develop SECRETS, SECRETS.. Former Vietnamese spy discusses work for CIAP FBI By Andrea Carone For the Daily Kellogg Auditorium played host yester- day to Yung Krall - a soft-spoken woman people would never think to be a spy. In an effort to expose the University community to the often unheard historical issues regarding the Vietnam War, Gary Lillie, a member of the Vietnam Veterans of America, is sponsoring a series of presenta- tions featuring people involved in the war. The first event took place yesterday after- noon, and spotlighted Yung Krall, a former Vietnamese spy for the CIA and FBI, born and cc I de o raised in Vietnam.

She added that her older brother never supported communism and was forced to fight for the Viet Cong. When the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam ceased, she said her brother exclaimed, " 'You coward Americans! Why do you stop bombing before you finish the job?' Why would my brother say this? Because he hated commu- nism, but he was forced to fight for it in uniform." ac ith Her family torn apart, Krall added that she watched as the Viet Cong murdered her friend's parents and kidnapped her high- school teacher. At 21, Krall met and fell in love with U.S. Navy pilot Lt. John Krall. In April of 1975, when South Vietnam was about to fall to communist rule, Krall offered her services as a spy to the CIA in exchange for her family's safe passage from Vietnam to America. "I made a deal with God, I made a deal with people who thought they were as pow- erful as God - the CIA," Krall said.

Experience hurts like hell, but I am proud I did it," she said. Krall added that she learned from her experiences to not feel guilty for living in a successful, free country, and that citizens See VIETNAM SPY, Page 7A Although President Bush's recent support of an amendment banning gay marriage has received strong crit- icism recently on campus, Young Americans for Freedom Co-chair Robert Raham said he whole-hearted- ly agrees with Bush's opposition to gay marriage. Bush has shown outstanding lead- ership in his actions towards the gay marriage issue, said Raham, an LSA sophomore. Bush said in a speech last Tuesday that in order to preserve the definition of marriage as between a woman and a man - so defined in 1996 by the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) passed by President Clinton - a con- stitutional amendment should be implemented. "I do agree that the constitutional amendment is the way to go," Raham said. "Marriage should be reserved for a man and a women - that is what Bush is trying to protect and that is what I support." Raham also said although the pro- posal will appeal to religious Repub- licans, he does not believe Bush is using the proposal merely as a cam- paign device. The proposal has emerged out of recent events such as the issuing of same-sex marriage licenses in California violating the state's constitution, he added. On Friday, the California Supreme Court declined requests to halt gay marriage licensing immediately. Student leaders from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender com- munity have said the courts through- out history have overturned discriminatory practices. They said ls they hope the judicial branch will h. uphold the rights of gay people. er But YAF member Jeston La Croix he said he feels the amendment is the only option to prevent cities like San ve Francisco from violating their own he laws. at "I would rather not have it be nec- 's essary. ...
