NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 7 * AWARD Continued from page 1 - you get out of it what you put in to it." The creation of the Golden Apple Award was inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Eliezer ben Hur- kanos, who taught 1,900 years ago. In his work, he expressed the importance of getting your life in order one day before you die. The Golden Apple Award honors teachers who PIRGIM Continued from page 1. "We do not know what actions are considered lob- bying," Beckham said, citing a lack of precedent. Hwang said CSJ interpreted tax law too strictly and that it relied on documents that showed Student PIR- GIM's former University chapter lobbied, but that the new organization would follow tax code and promise not to lobby at all. "Just because we've lobbied in the past doesn't mean we're going to lobby in the future," Hwang said. Beckham ordered MSA to complete an internal audit to determine whether MSA is currently in viola- tion of the law that only allows 5 percent of the budget to be used for groups who lobby. Previously, records were not kept on that matter. "It is purely possible that MSA is already in viola- tion," Beckham said. Another set of CSJ's concerns deals with the way in which Student PIRGIM would be funded. The group requested funding through MSA's dis- cretionary fund, which does not have guidelines that would ensure the assembly's compliance with Southworth v. University of Wisconsin, in which teach each lecture as if it were their last, Ray- vin said. At the Golden Apple Awards ceremony, Rubadeau will be able to perform his ideal final lecture. The "last lecture" gives teachers freedom to venture outside their curriculum and address students directly, Ravvin said. Students can hear Rubadeau give his 'last lecture" on April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lydia Mendelssohn The- ater in the Michigan League. the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory student fees could be used to fund speech which some parts of the campus community finds objection- able, but that a student government needs to have a policy prohibiting viewpoint discrimination. CSJ prohibited MSA from funding any organi- zations through the discretionary fund until guide- lines are implemented. Beckham empowered the Budget Priority Committee and the Community Service Commission to allocate funds requested from the discretionary budget until such guidelines have been approved by the CSJ. Among other specifications, Beckham said the guidelines should include details on an application process, an appeal process and should incorporate input gathered from the student body at large. Beckham said Students for PIRGIM has 10 days to appeal the ruling to CSJ. "We're going to appeal and we're going to win our appeal," Hwang said, adding that Students for PIR- GIM has not yet determined its definite grounds for appeal. "Basically our position is that CSJ got every- thing wrong." - Olga Mantilla contributed to this report JOBS Continued from page 1 "(The current system) served the Uni- versity well when it was established, but many things have changed since then," Reid said. "The system was only able to accommodate so much change, and pres- ently it doesn't encompass the current work world and the multitude of jobs that have developed over the last 30 years." Reid said that the new system is designed to be more intuitive to current as well as potential employees. Salary ranges currently tend to be very broad, but once the system is implemented, these ranges will be narrower. Consequently, Reid said, a potential employee reading a job descrip- tion would be able to see a more meaning- ful range of pay for a particular job. Reid said one of the most visible ways staff members will recognize the switch is through the redesign of the University's JOBS website, which will reflect the new system. In addition, the new system will allow the University to obtain more complete information about where its jobs stand in relation to the labor market. This informa- tion will be used to track salary and growth trends of particular careers, said Timothy Wood, senior director of HRAA, who has been greatly involved in the project. "In all of our human resource pro- grams, one of the main goals is to support the recruitment and retention objective of the University," Wood said. "Another is to provide a clear sense of career path for employees." Wood said that many current job titles don't correspond closely to the domi- nant terminology used in the general job market. He said 80 percent of the jobs at the Uni- versity already have job titles that exist in the labor marked but not at the school. A large portion of these jobs fall within the health system, because those positions are simi- lar across employers, making the mapping process easier. Wood said the new system would also create titles for the remaining 20 percent, which corresponds to jobs that are not common in the market. The past three years of the reclassifica- tion process has included researching other institutions and creating focus groups on campus and involves representatives from all units of the University. But for Peter Schermerhorn, a research secretary in the College of Literature, Sci- ence and the Arts and organizer of the Union of Professional Office Workers, the new classification system raises concerns for the office workers attempting to form U-POWER, a union to represent office and clerical workers at the University. Though he made it clear his opinion was not nec- essarily that of the entire organizing com- mittee, Schermerhorn said he fears the new system will hinder U-POWER's ability to be eligible to hold an election on whether it can become a union. AMTRAK Continued from page 1 ment that the state makes to Amtrak," he said, citing the 100 Amtrak jobs within the state, with a net return of about $2 mil- lion. Though Kohrman couldn't comment on the future of Amtrak state funding if Bush's proposal goes through, he said it would require further examination. "The state budget is very tight," he said. The students wrote letters to Uni- versity President Mary Sue Coleman, Michigan and Illinois senators and the president. "We want our representatives to keep the student perspective in mind," Hasia- kos said. University spokeswoman Julie Peterson said the University has no official position on the issue. LSA sophomore Beth Turk from West- ern Springs, Illinois said she has had good experiences riding the train because of her interactions with other passengers and her ability to work efficiently while traveling. She said she finds the proposed cuts disheartening because of the possi- bility of Amtrak's cancellation. "There isn't any reason to stop something that really benefits students," she said. But LSA Sophomore Nick Cheolas said he could understand the remarks of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mine- ta, who has endorsed these cuts because he feels they will benefit Amtrak in the long run by making it part of a competitive mar- ket. Cheolas said he thought the transfer of responsibility to the states would open up the rail service to competition and therefore bring the rail fares down. "I can understand fearing the loss of trains, but if there's a profit to make, a company will step up," Cheolas said. Still, other students who frequently ride the train put their hopes into this letter- writing campaign. LSA freshman Mary Wilcop said she usually rides the train home to Chicago. "Letters usually seem to be effective. I don't know if it would lead to protesting, but who knows?" she said. WRITE FOR THE DAILY.
