The Michigan Daily - michigandailytcom VETERANS From Page 1 cerns of studentveterans. "We all have a deep sense of grat- itude to our veterans," Hower said. "If they are interested in pursuing an education and think that'Michi- gan is the right place for them, then we want to make that happen." Hower said the Office of the Reg- istrar had already partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure students get G.I. Bill benefits and that the Office of Undergraduate Admissions has counselors who understand the needs of veteran applicants. But Hower said veterans often have trouble accessing those services because of the lack of communica- tion between the separate offices. Now, the Office of New Student Programs and the U-M Council on Student Veterans will lead efforts to organize all affairs for student vet- erans at the University. "The goal is to coordinate these resources," Hower said. "A lot is already in place, but people might not be aware of it." The Office of New Student Pro- grams will hire a "transition spe- cialist" to serve asa liaison between University offices and student vet- erans and assist students with the deployment and return processes involved in military service. To help veterans acclimate to their new surroundings at the Uni- versity, the ONSP will coordinate a mentorship program that matches' prospective and new students with upperclassmen and faculty veteran mentors. According to Drew Tinnin, assis- tant director of the ONSP, mentors will help student veterans work with the University administra- tion to provide social support as the students, adjust to the significant change in lifestyle. Tinnin said the by the end of the semester the Office of New Student Programs will launch a website be accessible to students on campus and in active military service. He said the site would provide step-by- step instructions explaining how students can apply to the University and arrange to receive financial aid. The site will provide contact information for University officials who have experience in dealing with the concerns of student veter- ans, Tinnin said. The council's projects, including the new student veterans liaison position, the website and the men- toring program, will be financed by the Office of New Student Pro- grams and the Office of the Provost. The start-up cost for the program is about $70,000. LSA junior Derek Blumke, found- ing president of the University's Student Veterans Association and president of the national group Student Veterans of America, first approached university officials about improving resources for stu- dent veterans last fall. Blumke said the University's efforts will make it easier for veter- ans to apply and get the benefits to which they are entitled. "The whole application process at the majority of college campuses is geared to the high school gradu- ate - not the person who just served a year in Iraq," Blumke said. "Now they can focus more on what they're doing overseas instead of trying to deal with the bureaucracy of the university." RODRIGUEZ From Page 1 staff, everybody that was there at our building, that I had resigned and accepted the job at Michigan, which was Sunday afternoon (Dec. 16), I was no longer the coach at West Virginia," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez's cell phone records, obtained by the Charleston (W.V.) Daily Mail under freedom of information laws, show the coach contacted at least two Michigan football recruits the night of Dec. 16. Rodriguez would not elaborate on why he shouldn't have to pay the buyout, but had a definitive answer when asked if he would apologize, pay the $4 million and leave West Virginia behind. "Apologize for what? That's a subjective feeling, isn't it?" Rodri- guez said. "I know there are feelings hurt. I said that before, told that to the team that I'm sorry the way things have worked out. But I changed jobs. This is America. Sometimes you change jobs." SHOOTING From Page 1 last night. Myrick has not yet been ques- tioned on his involvement with the shooting, Lance said. Last night the University's LECTURE From Page 1 least 35 Palestinian civilians have been killed in violent outbreaks since the borders were closed. Dalack said the first hand accounts gave members of the crowd a more personal notion of the situation in the Gaza Strip and. reflect the tragedy of the thousands killed by Israeli forces. "Unfortunately the media has been focusing on Palestinian aggression, not the humanitarian crisis affecting one and a half mil- -lion Palestinians in the Gaza Strip - Many of which were placed in hospitals under the worst of cir- cumstances," he said. Dalack said the Palestinians Friday, January 25, 2008 -7 Department of Public Safety can- celled a previously issued crime alert that said Myrick had not yet been found. DPS sent a mass e-mail withdetails of the incidentto 72,000 University affiliates the day after the shooting occurred. The department also increased the number of patrols around campus that day. were victims of collective punish- ment and to blame the entirety of Israel would undermine the basic premise of the protest - that col- lective punishment is never justi- fied. Although Freilich didn't direct- ly address the current situation in Gaza, he argued that walling off Israel's border with Gaza has quelled some of the violence. Freilich also criticized Hamas, a militant Palestinian groupthat cur- rently controls the Gaza Strip. He said that though Hamas has helped the Palestinian people in peaceful ways, the group is still focused on destroying Israel through violence. "Hamas is not about peace, it's not about social welfare. It's about continuing to fight against Israel," he said. phone734.764.0557 fax 734.9361054c s ied FREE BUBBLE ISLAND TEA with your new tour of U. Towers. Don't miss out this year...
