NEWS The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 28, 2005 - 7A SCULPTURES Continued from page 1A on Trial: Public Art and Political Controversy. The class used the "Dream" reliefs as a spring- board into the study of other controversial art. _ I was adamant that they should not be removed," Root said. "In these United States, pub- lic art should make people think," she added. After the reliefs were taken down in 2003, Root proposed a reinstallation event that would correspond with her offering the course again in the fall of 2006. LSA administrators declined her offer. RATINGS Continued from page 1A is helpful and reflects the truth about all professors. LSA junior Rebecca Siegel wasn't impressed with the site's evaluations of her professors. "I was actually kind of surprised with some of the responses, and I totally didn't agree with them," Siegel said. LSA senior Steve Gozdzialski expressed similar concerns. "It's hard to determine the kind of person who took the class," he said. "Some people who were complain- ing on there didn't seem to have valid complaints. One professor of mine that was rated had a low rating, and I think he's a good professor." Kenneth Balazovich, a professor of biochemistry, * the michigan daily AVAILABLE JANUARY 2006!! Campus 2 and 3 bedroom apartments Furnished and reasonably priced Call 734.668.1100 or stop in at 625 Church St. Root said she was not informed of the deci- sion to not replace the works of art until just a few months ago. "When it is simply removed - especially with- out transparent deliberative process - we lose something very important," she said. Courant said the move was not a result of lobby- ing or pressure but of general campus discontent. "We never felt any pressure from donors, regents, faculty or students to either keep them up or take them down," Courant said. "From time to time, people would say, 'Gee, it sure was different back in 1948.' No one ever said, 'We're not going to write you a check if you do this."' Maureen Hartford, former vice president of university affairs, who is now president of Mer- edith College in North Carolina, said the reliefs should remain on the fagade of the building. Hartford said the sculptures remind students how far women have come at the University, recalling a time when women were not allowed in the Michigan Union and when admitting women was first tried as an "experiment." "A current Michigan woman has a very differ- ent experience at the University than her prede- cessors had 100 years ago," Hartford said. "That is what U of M should be celebrating." cell biology lab and immunology, said he believes the ratings may represent skewed perceptions of a profes- sor. "I have a very low opinion of it, and it's not because of how I got rated on it," said Balazovich, who got an overall rating of 1.9 on the site. Balazovich went on to say students could write mul- tiple "glowing evaluations or terrible evaluations" on a professor, creating an inaccurate rating. He added that the course evaluations distrib- uted by the University in every class at the end of the semester better represent students' feel- ings about courses and professors. Since every student fills out these evaluations, he said, the results represent an average of all students' opinions, whereas ratemyprofessors.com dis- plays opinions slanted toward one way or the other. These Course evaluations completed by students at the end of each semester are compiled by the Michigan Student Assembly and posted on its website Advice Online, where professors are rated based on the Uni- versity's course evaluations. A few of the 18 categories include "overall this was an excellent course," "overall the instructor was an excellent teacher" and "I learned a great deal in this course." Engineering sophomore Yuan Ma said both sites could be useful resources for students. "I wouldn't say one is better than the other," Ma said. "The MSA version is more professional, whereas ratemyprofessors.com is a lot more general. I don't think a lot of people know about the MSA version, though." PRODIGY Continued from page 1A different mediums through which people connect with others and writing is mine." Her parents deny that Kaloustian fits the qualifications of a prodigy, adding that her childhood was no different from anyone else's. She just had a lot of free- dom and independence to pursue her own interests, they add. At age seven, Kaloustian developed a love for writing, but her parents said she didn't begin to receive recognition until high school, when she won many academic awards. Her teachers eventu- ally submitted a collection of poems and essays to the Davidson Institute for Talent Development Foundation. In one of her favorite writings she sub- mitted, "The Woman With The Paint, Japan," she wrote: "We are the women men dream of. They dream our faces dipped white, smiling Kabuki masks. They dream our heron's necks with serpent tongues of unpainted flesh at the nape ... Their wives are too real for dreaming, so husbands in their business suits come to our Floating World. We are the women men dream of, we are real only at night." "This longer piece was a really long learning process for me and I got the most out of it," she said. Most of Kaloustian's works explore women's issues, feminism and the treat- ment of women in Asia. Kaloustian, who plans on becoming an English major, said the University will foster her writing skills. For example, she takes everything she learns from her classes and relates those learned skills to her writing. "This Japanese class I'm taking is a total re-examination of language itself," she said about Residential College Inten- sive Japanese 196. "Japanese is straight- forward, concise and sparse but extremely poetic. So it's helped my writing develop because my writing tends to not always be concise." While members of the Davidson Insti- tute have urged her to publish her works, Kaloustian plans on learning more in her collegiate studies before considering a career in print. Eventually she hopes to become an English professor and maybe write a book or publish a few essays. Although she values her work, she still balks when crit- ics call it the work of a genius. Kaloustian just hopes she can keep it up. "My greatest fear is losing that curios- ity and drive to learn," she said. "A lot of adults lose their imagination and will to learn. Even kids do. But not me." Z P, RENT ME I'M A GREAT House! LOCATION BDRM. BATH. PRKG. TERM CAMPUS MANAGEMENT A wide variety of Eff., I & 2 bdm. apartments still available for next fall.

For Monday, Nov. 28, 2005 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel upset by someone's sudden outburst connected with politics or religion. In turn, it could make you have a strong reaction either for or against something. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Watch your money and guard your possessions. You could find something today, but you could also lose it. Things are extremely unpredictable! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sudden arguments might erupt with partners and loved ones today. People are uptight and unpredictable. It feels like there's almost a kind of increased electricity in the air! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your job will probably be interrupted by something surprising today. Power outages, computer crashes and mechani- cal failures might create delays and stop- pages. Some kind of hiccup occurs. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Parents must be extra-vigilant with children. This is definitely an accident- prone day. Romantic liaisons are also subject to upheavals and unexpected events. Sporting events take a surprising SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Financial matters are up for grabs today. Take precautions against impulse spending. (Believe me - you're tempted!) Try to take things one step at a time. Guard your money and posses- sions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're definitely subject to sudden upsets in behavior today. This could be just an internal reaction to something, or it could be your reaction to external events. Remain as calm as possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It's easy to feel nervous about some- thing today. Don't worry; this feeling passes quickly. Interruptions when deal- ing with the government or other agen- cies are perplexing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might meet someone quite bizarre today. Or a friend might do something unusual. People aren't boring today, but they are certainly independent and rebel- lious. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with VIPs, parents and authority figures in your life. It's all too easy to fly off the handle. But this serves no purpose. Mellow out. Anger only 1, 2 OR 3 Ig. bdrms. avail. from Jan. through
