Society, told The Associated Press there
are no leads in the case but authorities are
getting numerous tips. She also noted the
killings were similar enough to be con-
nected.
Meanwhile, students who own pets are
fearful that their animals may be targeted
next.
"I always watch (my dog) outside the
window now because I heard someone
was killing pets," said Talia Anderson, a

just being used for hockey."
Construction was supposed to begin
last summer, but fell through because
of architectural and timing logistics. The
athletic department was unsure if it could
get the project approved through facility
planning and design. Now approved, the
facelift is underway.
"This is something that I've been push-
ing for years," Berenson said. "I wanted
this because I really think the visiting team
deserves a better situation."
The locker room situation had been
a major concern for opposing teams.

called "a more contemporary style of
web design."
Gibson compared the gateway's over-
haul to that of CNN.com, which removed
its signature dark blue navigation bars
and launched a more open and accessible
main page this week.
"The gateway designers wanted to
present a lighter overall feel," she said.
Some students expressed indignation
at the Gateway Team's decision not to
use the University's signature colors.
"I'm outraged," LSA junior Steve Per-
etz said. "I'd rather have maize and blue
again"
School of Social Work student.
Rackham student Louise Hecker said
she will keep Tomba, her Italian grey-
hound, close by her side.
"I will be hesitant to let her off a leash,
especially at night," she said.
The high level of carnage associated
with the crimes has led some residents to
worry that the killers might target humans
as well.
Animal cruelty has often been psy-
chologically linked to violence against
humans.
Serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles
Manson and David Berkowitz, also known
as Son of Sam, all harmed animals before
murdering people.
But Psychology Prof. Joseph Gone said
the connection between animal cruelty
and violence toward humans is smaller
than people believe.
"It's probably the exception rather than
the rule," he said. "Imagine how many
teenage boys (harm animals) and never
grow up to hurt anyone."
The Huron Valley Humane Society is
offering a reward in the thousands of dol-
lars to anyone with information on the
killings. The society's animal cruelty tip
line is 662-5585, extension 112.
CSP
Continued from page 1
of administrative work as before.
"They reduced it on paper but
didn't actually reduce it," Herold
said. "That's a pretty clear contract
violation."
University spokeswoman Julie
Peterson said the University has
reduced their duties in relation to
the pay reduction.
Holland said the University "did
this sort of slick, shady maneuver-
ing on paper" in order avoid com-
pensating them.
Holland and the CSP advisors
said if an appropriate resolution is
not reached soon, they may consid-
er joining the Coalition for Action
against Racism and Discrimination,
a group that has filed a complaint
with the U.S. Department of Educa-
tion's Office of Civil Rights alleg-
ing that the University discriminates
against black students.
The complaint specifically
alleges discrimination in graduate
programs in the College of Engi-
neering but claims there is a simi-
lar atmosphere in other graduate
programs. Holland said this would
be a consideration because CSP
staff mainly consists of women and
minorities.
"We're.feeling that this is a dispa-
rate treatment," she said. "There is a
feeling that when we're devalued it
trickles down to our students."
Six instructors have filed griev-
ances regarding their summer
appointments, and two of those
have also contested their teaching
appointments in the fall semester.
The summer appointments
include teaching duties for the Sum-
mer Bridge program, which pre-
pares incoming minority students
for college with intensive classes
and advising. According to Hol-
land, the program has seen a recent
increase in the number of students
who attend.
Holland said with more students
to teach and advise, CSP advisors
find it unacceptable not to be com-
pensated for the extra work.
LEO and the advisors have decid-
ed to take the teaching grievances
to an arbitration hearing because of
a lack of resolution, she said.
Because many of the instructors
in the CSP program are classified
as lecturers as well as administra-
tive staff, they must file separate
grievances concerning problems
with their separate duties. The
teaching duties of CSP lecturers are
covered by the LEO contract and
by the outlined grievance process,
Herold said. The administrative
duties are not.
Holland said an administra-
tive grievance has also been filed
demanding a reduction of admin-
istrative work. Staff grievances
are currently being discussed with
the University's human resources
department.
The situation in CSP comes in
the wake of worries among lectur-
ers in various LSA departments
about increasing workload without
increasing pay, LEO president Bon-
nie Halloran said.
The LEO membership will meet
on Tuesday to determine what
steps it should take to address
growing concerns of increased
workload.
Holland said there is a great deal
of support among LEO members for
the CSP lecturers.
Peterson said other departments
have long since phased out overload
pay, but CSP did not until recently.
Holland said administrators
approach most labor discussions
regarding CSP with a predeter-
mined mindset.
"They're there to protect the
college's interest. The objectivity
is not felt. There is a demeanor of
'convince us,' " Holland said.
Because the current visitor's locker room
is so small, teams were forced to use two
or three locker rooms for the game. Many
teams complained about the accomoda-
tions.
"A few years ago at the CCHA meet-
ings ... Yost got high marks for everything
except visiting team locker room situa-
tions," Yost facility manager Craig Wotta
said.
The new locker room should improve
Michigan's chances of hosting an NCAA
Tournament regional. Yost has hosted five
such regionals - the last in 2002 - but
there were serious problems with finding
adequate locker room space for all of the
teams.
In the past, when Yost held a tournament
regional, some of the other teams were
forced to have locker rooms in imported
trailers, or across the parking lot at Ray
Fisher Stadium.
"It certainly won't hurt (our chances) of
hosting another regional;'Stevenson said.
This will be the fifth renovation in
the history of Yost - the fourth since
1992.
In 1996, Yost went through a $5.5-
million renovation with extensive
work to the first floor of the arena.
The hockey team offices and weight
room were also added to the second
floor.
A balcony containing 300 seats was
added opposite the press box prior to the
2001-02 season.
Rackham student Fengfeng He said
he isn't bothered by the color change,
although he acknowledges it might agi-
tate some students.
"The color is milder, in a way" He
said. "It's still kind of bluish, but it's not a
'Go Blue' kind of blue."
Other students said the changes in the
site's graphic design are improvements.
"I think it looks nicer and more profes-
sional," LSA sophomore Tim Reid said.
Other students seemed pointedly apa-
thetic to the website's appearance.
"Personally, I don't care what it looks
like as long as it's easy to use," LSA
senior Megan Hall said.
Rudgers said the Gateway Team hoped
to improve the user experience without
making any radical changes to the old
navigation system.
"With the new gateway, the design is
cleaner, the approach is cleaner, so you're
getting a quicker and less cluttered view
of the content that was always available,"
Rudgers said.
Although the gateway's navigation
system remains the same, some stu-
dents, like LSA junior Sarah Wohl-
stadter, said they would have liked
notification about the new design like
the announcements they received
before the Wolverine Access and
Course Tools updates took effect. How-
ever, Wohlstadter said she adjusted to
the new gateway quickly.
"It was confusing at first, but I saw the
same old links and knew where I was
going," she said.
BIG HOUSE
Continued from page 1
of $950,000. Since then, it has not
been significantly altered, save several
seating expansions.
The changes are also likely to
include additional restrooms and con-
cession stands, more seating for peo-
ple with disabilities, wider aisles and
a more modern press box.
The faculty letter is the latest and
most authoritative in a series of displays
of opposition to the luxury boxes.
Late last year, Pollack compiled a
collection of letters and other mate-
rials opposing the luxury boxes and
sent it to the regents.
Included were letters from former
Alumni Association Executive Direc-
tor Robert Forman, former athletic
director Joe Roberson and David Ufer,
son of the legendary Michigan broad-
caster Bob Ufer.
Thousands of alumni and other fans
signed an online "Petition to Save The
Big House" last year. Many left messag-
es along with their signatures express-
ing their distaste for luxury boxes.
Despite claims by the Athletic
Department and the University's cen-
tral administration that most people
are in favor of the project, several fac-
ulty who signed the letter said the vast
majority of people they've talked to
oppose the project.
"Everybody I've spoke to about it
is against it," said Stephen Pollock, a
professor emeritus of engineering who
served on the Board in Control of Inter-
collegiate Athletics in the late 1980s.
"There wasn't really anyone for it."
Tom Croxton, a professor emeritus
from the School of Social Work who
signed the letter, said he doubted the
regents would vote against the sky-
boxes, pointing out that University
President Mary Sue Coleman strongly
supports them.
"I can't imagine the regents of the
University are going to go against the
president," he said.
The last time the University made an
unpopular addition to the stadium was
the notorious "halo" in 1998, a maize-
and-blue ring around the stadium.
Fans were so outraged by the halo's
gaudy appearance that the University
removed it only two years later.

For Tuesday, March 28, 2006
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Be patient with yourself and others
today. For whatever reason, you feel
intensely anxious about something. It's
not a big deal, but it's there. This could
make you say something you'll later
regret.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You might encounter someone quite
powerful who really makes you think
(probably this morning). Quite possibly,
you are the powerful person who
impacts someone else in a very memo-
rable way.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Avoid confrontations with authority
figures this morning. It's not worth it.
People will dig in their heels and hold to
their course. (Arguments will inevitably
follow.)
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Discussions about politics and religion
this morning could definitely get out of
hand. Better to keep the friendship than
to insist on making your point. Don't
you agree?
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Avoid important decisions about
financial matters or anything that you
share with someone else. You might be
absolutely convinced about something
and then later change your mind.
to your job today. Similarly, you might
have big ideas about how to improve
your health. Sounds like a plan to me.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Parents must be patient with children
this morning. Don't be too bossy. It's so
easy to forget that you were once a kid
yourself, right? Patience with everyone
is recommended today.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Quite possibly, small appliances will
break down this morning or even just a
dish could be broken. Go slowly. Take a
deep breath. Remember to smile. (This
softens everything.)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You have to admit you're a perfection-
ist. Today you want to persuade some-
body to agree with you. Is this really
necessary? (I thought so.)
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Avoid arguments about money and
possessions, especially this morning.
People feel extremely territorial today.
Wait until tomorrow to talk about this.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You feel unusually emotional about
something this morning. Don't act or
react while you feel this way. Wait until
tomorrow to state your case. (You'll be
glad you did.)
YOU BORN TODAY You have a
sunny, friendly, upbeat disposition.
