NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 1, 2005 - 7A LEO Continued from page 1A light of a contract violation. A poignant case of a laid-off lecturer, they said, is proof of the school's lack of respect for lecturers. A lecturer who was laid off almost two years ago and has been waiting on the call-back list - a list for laid-off lectures who wish to be contacted once positions become available - has not been rehired for the upcoming term, despite a promise made by School of Art and Design Dean Bryan Rogers that she would be rehired, Herold said. Rog- ers made the promise at a public griev- ance hearing where many members of the administration were present, includ- ing Assistant Provost Jeffery Frumkin, she said. After being informed that ajob would not be available for the lecturer next term, Herold said she requested that the fired lecturer be allowed to stay on the call-back list since she had been prom- ised a job, but her request was denied. Herold said the next step would be to file a grievance. "It's not comforting," she said, "because we know they will say no." Problems have also arisen con- .. : : . .: . cerning the Comprehensive Studies Program and instructors who are per- forming teaching duties but are not classified as lecturers. CSP is a unit of LSA that provides academic support and advising as well as course instruc- tion that is tailored to minority stu- dents, especially the Summer Bridge program. Herold said some administrative staff members who were perform- ing teaching duties were compen- sated by extra pay in the past. This semester, however, LSA has decided not to provide compensation for these staff members and instead have added teaching duties as a part of their job. This has taken place even though these staff members are not classi- fied as lecturers and the number of students involved in the program has grown, she said. "This is LSA just wanting to save money," Herold said. The University's position is that since the individuals are not classified as lecturers, LEO cannot represent them," Herold said. She added, however, that since the issue deals with teaching duties, LEO should be allowed to voice the staff members' concerns. ACLU Continued from page 1A For these reasons, resolutions are likely to pass in both the House and the Senate that would make the act appli- cable only to those students who are convicted of a drug offense while they are receiving financial aid. But even if these resolutions pass, alleviating concerns that the act's retroactive application is unfair, the ACLU will still file a lawsuit to stop any stripping of financial aid from drug offenders. "(The provision leaves) tens of thou- sands of students behind," said Tom Angell, campaigns director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, which will be a partner in the suit. Angell said that regardless of the suc- cess of the suit, he hopes it will provide additional pressure on Congress. "Even if we don't end up winning in court, certainly it's going to raise the profile of the issue," he said. The ACLU is currently searching for student plaintiffs who were affected by the provision to bring the case to court. COUCH Continued from page 1A ment should be intervening in and that he thinks students and the city could strike a compromise by educating ten- ants about the risks of having a couch on a porch. Dale Winling, a Rackham student who is director of the New West Side Association, a group representing the interests of renters and students, said more important and effective ways of treating fire risk would be aimed at faulty wiring or other building stan- dards for landlords. "There are much more serious fire hazards than upholstered furniture on porches," Winling said. "I don't think this is a public health issue." The New West Side Association has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the reports on the two fires the Fire Department has attributed to upholstered couches on porches. Comeau, of the Center for Campus Fire Safety, said four common trends in student house fires are a lack of automatic fire sprinklers, missing/dis- abled smoke alarms, careless disposal of smoking materials and alcohol con- sumption. MSA Continued from page 1A based policies." Nowinski also said he supports affirmative action, but he said he does not hope to make this a major campaign issue. Reconciliation of the platforms would be vital before the par- ties could combine, he said. Both Nowinski and Radina said they believe the loss of interest in student government can be attributed to the poor performance of the dominant Students 4 Michigan, which they said results from of a lack of accountability coupled with an absence of direction. LSA senior Max Milstein said it seems MSA doesn't do much to help students and that "when they do actually do something, it doesn't seem to work that well." Nowinski and Radina both said they hope to improve MSA's credibility either by taking a significant slice of S4M's majority or by putting pressure on S4M to accomplish party goals. DAAP, which has close ties with the controversial pro-affirmative action group BAMN, is considered a single- issue party and holds only four seats on the assembly. "S4M has been domi- nating for too long," Radina said. "No party has been stepping up to challenge them, and so there is no way of holding (S4M) accountable for bad choices." "(MSA) no longer has respect around campus because they aren't as serious as they should be," Radina said, recalling current MSA President Jesse Levine's campaign flyer featuring a picture of "Uncle Jesse," a character from the pop- ular '90s sitcom "Full House." Radina said he believes S4M needs "to be more serious in order to make MSA a more respectable campus organization again." S4M was started last winter by former members of the now-defunct Students First Party, which was the dominant MSA party when it was dissolved. Like Students First, S4M aims to include representatives of a diverse array of campus groups and communities. The party does not have a strict ideology, but includes members of liberal as well as conservative groups. Nowinski said the biggest problem with S4M lies in the fact that "S4M doesn't have a platform - as a group, it doesn't stand for anything specific." "It doesn't have a clear vision," he said. "It stands for being elected." Both Nowinski and Radina said they hope to avoid this issue in their own parties by forming distinct party plat- forms. Although officially nonpartisan now, MSA President Jesse Levine said he pre- viously chose to be a part of S4M because the party is composed of many "student leaders who represented many different ideologies but who all had the common goal of making campus better." "We don't need parties with strict ideological divisions," Levine said. "Students need leaders that will repre- sent them well." As far as student interest is con- cerned, Milstein, the LSA senior who was skeptical about MSA, said: "If you add new parties with new ideas that are interested in connecting with students, it will help."
