NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 7 GESI Continued from page 1A cial counsel to the provost, said the quality of environmental research at the University will be improved by a new Web portal sponsored by GESI. It lists all the relevant research being done at the University. But more importantly, GESI will facilitate contributions from the vari- ous schools toward the advancement of environmental research into practi- cal applications. An ongoing Engineering research project attempting to create an improved type of cement is one exam- ple of a task that could be .aided by interdisciplinary research, Bierbaum said. The cement, strengthened by fibers, is less likely to crack or erode than normal cement. But the substance has implications that other schools at the University need to investigate in order for it to reach the ground. "The School of Business could deal in marketing the cement to construc- tion companies, the School of Archi- tecture and Urban Design could design the uses for the new cement and the School of Natural Resources and the Environment could discern how much waste and pollution is prevented by the new cement," Bierbaum said. "Then, the School of Public Health could ana- lyze statistics to determine how that decrease in waste and pollution affects the health of the people living nearby." The University's close proximity to the automobile, pharmaceutical and chemical industries make corporate- sponsored research a distinct possibil- ity, Hanlon said. Bierbaum said some researchers at the University are cur- rently working on developing hybrid vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells, both crucial to the future of the auto indus- try as worldwide petroleum reserves become depleted. "The institute will be an entry point for companies or federal agen- cies that need expert assistance," Hanlon said. "Let's say a company wants to make a new product but wants to make it fuel efficient and design it so all the parts can be dis- posed of. They want to know, 'Does the University have experts that could help me with this?' The institute will have that information." Engineering alum Don Graham, who is an industrial magnate and con- tributed half of GESI's $10.5-million budget, approached the University three years ago with the idea to create an institute to encourage cooperative research in the field of environmen- tal sustainability. Graham's dedica-' tion to the field stems from the work of his father, a former professor in the University's School of Forestry, the SNRE's predecessor. Sam Gra- ham researched the consequences of DDT, a type of pesticide, and falling water tables before these dangers were widely understood. The younger Gra- ham pioneered the technology behind the recycling of plastics with his Gra- ham Engineering Company. Kohrs, the special counsel to the provost, spent more than a year creat- ing an inventory of all the University's research and courses in environmental sustainability. University units that will be involved with the institute include the SNRE, the schools of Engineering, Public Health, Business, Architecture and Urban Planning, Public Policy and the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. The institute will be housed in the Dana Building, interim Provost Edward Gramlich said. Gramlich and the deans of the participating schools have begun the search for the institute's director and staff, both of which they hope to have. in place by fall 2006. "It's ambitious, but we're going to try," Hanlon said. FIRE Continued from page 1A Khajuria, one of the residents cleared to move in, saw no immedi- ate damage to her belongings, but was told that smoke damage could take a few weeks to show up. Paron said renters' insurance will likely cover the damages to property, but added that the parent's homeown- ers insurance of the students living in the apartment sometimes pro- vides reimbursements. University spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said eight stu- dents were unable to return to the apartment and are receiving aid from the University. The University has offered these students tem- porary housing on North Campus, but Sue Eklund, dean of students, said some people are not accepting it. The housing arrangements are in furnished apartments with two people to a unit. Free housing will be offered for two weeks for the affected stu- dents. After that period, the students must apply for University hous- ing or try to pursue off-campus options, she added. Eklund said that her office is also taking a number of measures to assist the students, from providing counseling services to arranging for loaner laptops. The American Red Cross is also providing food, shelter and clothing to the six others displaced residents who are not affili- ated with the University, said Pamela Reading-Smith, director of public support for the American Red Cross's local chapter. The Red Cross will also assist by helping to find permanent housing for those who need it. Reading-Smith added that most people are able find temporary housing with friends or family in less than five days. "It's amazing how resilient humans can be," she said. DISPLACED Continued from page 1A displaced students must pay the New Orleans university $16,673 - the cost of a semester's tuition - even though the University of Michigan's out-of-state tuition and fees cost considerably less: $13,706 for underclassmen and $14,675 for juniors and seniors. At first, this policy caused a minor uproar among Tulane students and par- ents. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Sept. 30 that some thought the arrangement was unfair because many stu- dents could not access courses at cheaper institutions that they needed to graduate on time from Tulane. The Chronicle also noted that some argued the "lower qual- ity" education students received at other universities does not match the value of Tulane's tuition. But Strecker said the complaints died down once "students realized they would receive Tulane credit no matter where they attended." For students like Hines, who have with- drawn from their home universities and are trying to stay at the University, waiting to hear from admissions has been nerve wrecking. "Having applied over two months ago, it is somewhat frustrating not knowing and still waiting," Hines said in a phone inter- view on his way home to Louisiana for Thanksgiving. Anxious to see his hometown again and tired of checking his mailbox for an admis- sions letter, Hines left Michigan yesterday to head back to the Big Easy. "It's going to be interesting to see what it looks like,"he said. "New Orleans is normal- ly a populous city, but I hear it's pretty barren right now, pretty naked." Hines, who described his semester at the University as "a tremendous experience," said if he is not admitted for the winter semester, he will either accept an internship in Washington or return home to help with relief efforts. the michigan daily 1 & 2 Bdrm.

As the day wears on, you might get bogged down in details. Be careful about not seeing the forest because of the trees. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It's very easy to feel critical of others today, especially with romantic liaisons and children. Always remember the advice of Goethe: "Criticism does much, but encouragement does more." GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do not jump to conclusions with part- ners and close friends today. You have a tendency to think "What's wrong with this picture?" today. Why not look at what's right with it? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be extra-careful when driving, park- ing, walking or cycling today. Minor accidents and fender-benders are possi- ble simply because of confused thinking. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your critical faculties are sharp today; however, your focus is a bit narrow. You have mouse mind, not eagle mind. Remember to lift up your head now and then to take a look around you. VIRGO SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do not chafe if a friend is critical of you today. It is probably well-meaning. And if it isn't, then why is this person your friend? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) People notice you today, for some rea- son. You might want to be aware of this. If you are irritated with a parent or boss, don't be vocal about it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might talk to someone from another culture or another country today. Be open to discussions about different faiths and different ways of looking at life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Double-check all financial matters today, particularly those connected with banking or the handling of other people's money. Just be aware of what you are doing. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today the Moon moves opposite your sign. When this happens (once each month for about two and a half days), it always draws your attention to others, especially partners and close friends.
