NEWS The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 28, 2006 - 7 DOGS Continued from page 1 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 YOST Continued from page 1 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. WEBSITE Continued from page 1 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. the michigan daily ROOMS FOR RENT avail. immed. Campus EDITING.

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. !!!
