Chicken or fish, Ms. Coleman?
When University President
Mary Sue Coleman goes to the air-
port, she takes her shoes off at the
security checkpoint, puts all her
gels and liquids in plastic bags and
stows her luggage in the overhead
bins - just like everybody else.
Coleman takes commercial
flights when travelling on behalf of
the University and doesn't upgrade
to first-class seating, said University
spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen.
"She's very down to Earth,"
Broekhuizen said.
Broekhuizen said University of
Michigan's presidents have never
chartered flights. But not all uni-
versity presidents blend in with the
masses of people rushing through
the airport to catch a connecting
flight or go on a family vacation.
DavidHodge,presidentofMiami
University, can use the college's
681 Aero Commander airplane for
business travel as long as he gives
the college a month's notice, said
Adolph Haislar, the school's senior
associate vice president for finance
and business. Miami University
has owned a private plane for
transporting its employees since
1959.
Coleman hasn't considered buy-
ing a private plane for the Univer-
sity, University spokeswoman Kelly
Cunningham said.
Although Coleman has endured
the winding lines of people at lug-
gage counters, the University Ath-
letic Department often allows its
athletes and top officials to avoid
the hassle of security screenings
and random body searches by using
charter services.
The hockey team usually flies
commercially, but it took a char-
ter flight to Denver, Colo. for this
year's NCAA Tournament, Ath-
letic Department spokesman Bruce
Madej said. The University's foot-
ball team and basketballteams have
chartered flights for years, he said.
Sometimes, they get to use planes
belonging to the Detroit Pistons or
Detroit Red Wings.
But flying like Pistons star
Chauncey Billups isn't typical for
them.
Madej said the University uses
commercial flights for recruiting
trips and sports teams fly commer-
cially 99 percent of the time.
And although University Ath-
letic Director Bill Martin has a
pilot's license and occasionally flies
himself to meetings and events, the
University rarely charters a plane
for individual use, Madej said.
"I don't even know when (foot-
ball coach Lloyd Carr) used a pri-
vate plane last," Madej said.
