Duderstadt up

for University
provost
March 27, 1986-The University
might have a hard time filling shoes
on North Campus if James Duder-
stadt, current dean at the College
of Engineering, is appointed vice
I president for academic affairs and
provost next month.
The Board of Regents confirmed
Duderstadt as the head at the engi-
neering school last December, but
University President Harold Shapiro
announced earlier this week that he
will ask the regents to make Duder-
stadt the University's number-two
man, replacing current provost Billy
Frye.
Duderstadt's successor at the
engineering school will have to pick
up several massive projects of his,
including a revamp of the under-
graduate curriculum which Duder-
stadt started to increase the school's
humanities requirements.
"Duderstadt is a man who moves
very fast. He has set a pace that we
have never before experienced in the
College of Engineering," said Elaine
Harder, assistant to the engineering
dean.
Among the many changes insti-
tuted during Duderstadt's term,

Records show retiring
legislators raise campaign
funds for personal use
LANSING (AP) - State records
show lawmakers who can't run for
re-election because of term limits are
spending campaign funds on a variety
of personal items, which critics say
goes against the spirit of the law.
Michigan's 28 term-limited lawmak-
ers have raised more than $1 million
for their campaign war chests in this
election cycle, even though they can't
run again in November.
According to state campaign records,
cash solicited from fundraising efforts
has been spent on sports tickets, trips
and Visa bills.
However, the practices are legal under
Michigan's campaign finance laws.
Critics say the spirit of the term
limits law was intended to make law-
makers less beholden to lobbyists and

special interests.
"The purpose of these committees
is to finance an election campaign, and
that's a moot point for these legisla-
tors," Rich Robinson, of the Michigan
Campaign Finance Network watch-
dog group, told The Detroit News for
a story published yesterday. "This is
essentially tax-free income that is sup-
porting a legislator's lifestyle, and it's
provided by special interests."
Critics also say some of these law-
makers will run for a different office
and will transfer their money to a
new candidate committee.
Those leaving office also can move
their cash to charities, political action
committees or political parties or return
it to donors.
Senate Republican leader Ken Sikke-
ma (R-Wyoming) leads all term-limited
legislators in fund-raising and spending.
He raised $239,683 during the past three
years for his Senate Campaign Commit-
tee, and spent $188,141 even though he has
no plans to run for elective office.
