NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 4, 2005 - 7 LAPTOPS Continued from page 1. The libraries are tackling the issue through education, said Ste- phen Hipkiss, University Librar- ies facilities manager. Blue signs with crime information have been placed strategically around the libraries to remind students of the risk involved in leaving their belongings unattended. But Brown said the tactic does not always work. One stolen laptop, she said, was left unattended next to one of the cautionary blue signs. Library staff members have also begun to approach students who leave their items behind, but Hip- kiss said the library staff can only patrol limited ground. For example, the majority of thefts happen in the stacks, where supervision is scarce. Even with the informational cam- paign and increased patrols, students still are not completely absorbing the message. A quick walk through the Graduate Library revealed two lap- tops left unattended in the densely occupied reading room. There was also a wave last winter of similar laptop thefts, Hipkiss said. After DPS made arrests, the thefts stopped almost overnight, only to reemerge this September. Laptop thefts have also been occurring outside of the libraries, especially in on-campus housing. DPS has reported four laptop bur- glaries this month in its daily brief- ings. One was recovered when a fresh- man awoke to two men in his dorm room trying to steal his laptop. The confrontation culminated with the student recovering his laptop after a foot chase through the wooded area outside of Bursley Residence Hall. The other laptop burglaries occurred in Bursley, Baits and Northwood Apartments, where people left their laptops out on a desk with their doors unlocked or open, Brown said. "It would be wise to put one's lap- top away so it is not visible, like (in) a locked desk drawer - certainly somewhere out of obvious sight," Brown said. She suggested not opening doors, to the residence halls for strangers, even if it is impolite. "It's hard to criticize letting people in, but the flipside is that we're let- ting people in who perpetrate these crimes," Brown said. GOOGLE Continued from page 1 While University techniques are fast enough to copy one book per hour, Google's processes are even more sophisticated. "Imagine something as fast as using a camera," Wilkin said. "You open a book, take a picture, turn the page, take another picture, and so on." Google's methods also protect fragile books because the process does not open books wide when copying. And Google's digital captures are of qual- ity akin to the originals. "Google produces high-fidelity, high- resolution, large-scale capture in such a way that the images are a nearly perma- nent surrogate for most print materials," Wilkin said. These procedures make millions of books, long unavailable to the public, accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. DEARBORN Continued from page 1 said they hoped to hold Dearborn admin- istrators accountable for deficits of at least $300,000 in CASL and $1.3 million in the School of Management. At least three dozen sections are slated to be cut, and faculty jobs may be in jeopardy. "This decision really hurts," said Patri- cia Hartshorn, a 13-year natural sciences adjunct lecturer on the Dearborn campus. "I love teaching here, and I may not be able. to do that next year. (The) administration needs to find ways to cut back that don't affect stu- dents' education." The afternoon rally culminated with a march to the administration building. Accompanied by chanting students, Hal- loran hand-delivered a letter containing LEO's alternative cost-saving suggestions to Dearborn Chancellor Daniel Little's office. Although Little was out of town on a busi- ness trip, his secretary accepted the letter on his behalf. LEO made six suggestions in an attempt to dissuade administration from consolidating courses to save money. The proposed alternatives' included saving money on campus utilities by instituting four 10-hour workdays dur- ing summer months; instituting a 5- or 10-percent pay decrease for top admin- istration officials; postponing the search for a new provost; and finding new ways to create an economic part- nership with the Ann Arbor campus. David Hecker, president of the Michigan Federation of Teachers, spoke to attendees on the historical importance of the Dearborn campus. "I want to thank you for standing up (for the cause)," Hecker said. "UM-D exists for one reason ... to ensure students get a qual- ity education." Students expressed concern with the pos- sibility that the cuts would affect their ability to graduate on time. "The students are in a dire situation," said Amanda Bassett, a junior majoring in psy- chology. "If we don't stand up now, who's going to stand up when future cutbacks are proposed?" Circulating about the crowd were petitions to be signed by those who agree with LEO's desire to reverse the University's decision. Halloran said she was thrilled with the turnout and vigor of the attendees. "This was an extremely exciting event on campus," she said. "I think it's an amazing indication of how upset students really are." Outgoing Dearborn Provost Robert Simpson stopped outside the adminis- tration building to talk with LEO mem- bers and students after the rally ended. "Our job is to support the learning environment as best we possibly can with the resources allocated," Simpson said. "We have not impeded our stu- dents from graduation." But the provost's answers did not sit well with LEO members. "I don't think he was looking at the areas where administration has failed to take care of the problems," Hal- loran said. Kelly Al-Hajal, a senior majoring in com- munications, said the situation was a black eye for the University. "It's an insult to the teachers and students to be treated like this," he said. "I hope (the) administration listens to the suggestions. It's just ugly." DIABETES Continued from page 1 $100,000 between two researchers from different disciplines. The grants will encourage collaboration between fields as diverse as molecular biology and engineering, said Arvan, who will serve as the center's interim direc- tor. Arvan estimates that more than 50 researchers are currently working in the MCDC alone, and about six new researchers may be recruited to work in the new the michigan daily', center. The MCDC's headquarters will eventually be the University's new Kellogg Eye Center, which will be near the medical campus. The center will not have a physical facility until then. One way the center is already encouraging coopera- tion between researchers is through the Grand Rounds Lecture Series. The lecture series will act as a forum at which state-of-the-art diabetes research can be pre- sented along with research on more specific topics. The series will begin next January and will offer one lecture per month.
