LSA senior Mike Milano, the
Michigan football player who was
charged Friday with two counts
of assault stemming from an inci-
dent last month, was arraigned
yesterday morning.
In the incident, which took
place early on the morning of Oct.
12, LSA junior Steve Kampfer was
"body slammed" into the side-
walk, leaving him unconscious

ment pay and $30,200 through a
supplemental retirement plan.
The University also provided
Coleman with a car and the use of
the President's House at 815 South
University Avenue.
In response to the rankings,
University spokeswoman Kelly
Cunningham said the University
officials are "proud that someone
the caliber of President Coleman is
leading the University."
Coleman's salary is set by a vote
of the University Board of Regents
after an annual review process by
the Personnel, Compensation and
Governance Committee.

dent E. Gordon Gee, who earned
about than $1.35 million in com-
pensation during the fiscal year,

"So in this process we have to be
very careful of how we treat our
current businesses."
When the liquor license was
brought up for consideration at
yesterday's meeting, City Coun-
cil discussed the issue for nearly
30 minutes. Quickie Burger own-
er Karope Arman was present to
answer questions from the Coun-
cil.
Council members voiced con-
cerns over Arman's plans to serve
alcohol in a seasonal outdoor seat-
ing area on the Hill Street side of
the property, but Arman said he
East Quad. Kampfer, a defense-
man on the Michigan hockey
team, incurred a fractured skull
and was hospitalized.
Milano, the main suspect in the
incident, was suspended indefi-
nitely from the Michigan football
team several days later.
The Washtenaw County Prose-
cutor's office had issued a warrant
on Friday for Milano's arrest.
The first charge against Mila-
no, for assault with intent to do
great bodily harm less than mur-
der, is a felony carrying a penalty
of up to 10 years in prison and a
$5,000 fine. The second charge,
aggravated assault, is a misde-
meanor that carries a penalty of
up to one year in prison and a
$1,000 fine.
The Chronicle. The presidents
of the University of Washington,
University of Virginia and the
University of Texas also earned
more than Coleman.
Of both public and private col-
leges and universities, Suffolk
University's David Sargent was the
highest-paid university president,
earning $2.8 million this year.
For the 2008-2009 academic
year, Coleman received a 4 percent
pay raise, which increased her base
salary by about $21,000.
The raise was announced at the
September meeting of the Board
of Regents. At the meeting, Regent
Andrew Richner (R-Grosse Point
Park) said the raise reflected the
Board of Regents' "full and un-
qualified support" of Coleman as
president.
"President Coleman's efforts,
along with those of the strong lead-
ership team she has assembled,
have resulted in dramatically in-
creased financial aid for our stu-
dents, new endowed chairs, hiring
hoped the liquor license would
bring new customers to the res-
taurant.
"Our whole reason is to give peo-
ple an additional reason to come to
Quickie Burger," he said. Arman
added that he hoped serving alco-
hol would attract more of the city's
permanent residents, which he
said was "the clientele we're really
interested in."
Though about 30 percent of
Quickie Burger's business is current-
ly done between 2 and 4 a.m., Arman
said his restaurant's status as a popu-
lar post-bar spot wouldn't change
with the new liquor license. The law
mandates that alcoholcannot besold
after 2 a.m. in Ann Arbor.

woman Sandi Smith (D-Ward 1),

University Police spokes-
woman Diane Brown said Milano
was released this morning on a
personal recognizance bond. His
preliminary examination- is set
for Dec. 17, she said.
Michigan hockey coach Red
Berenson said last month that
Kampfer will miss at least two
months of play because of his
injuries.
Eight days after the incident,
Kampfer filed for a personal pro-
tection order against Milano and
"anyone associated" with him. A
judge rejected Kampfer's request,
noting that "repeated or continu-
ing harassment" is necessary for a
PPO to be granted.

of new faculty, more graduate fel-
lowships, and new and renovated
facilities," he said.
In addition to her official duties at
the University, Coleman also serves
on the board of directors of Johnson &
Johnson and Meredith Corporation.
In her position at Johnson
& Johnson, Coleman receives
$202,631 in compensation. About
$95,000 of that is through cash,
almost $100,000 comes in the
form of stock options and the rest
comes in the form of other com-
pensation - which includes gifts
to charity.
Meredith Corporation gives
Coleman $144,067 for her servic-
es. $10,000 comes in cash, while
$42,000 is given in stock options
and $92,000 in option awards. Ac-
cording to Meredith Corporation's
website, the board meets four times
a year.
Before joining the University of
Michigan, Coleman served as pres-
ident at the University of Iowa of
seven years.
man Ron Suarez when she was
sworn in last night, said Quickie
Burger's reputation for doing late-
night business would likely be an
important incentive to follow the
guidelines that come with serving
alcohol.
"Having a liquor license on site
will help them have some control
and now they have a lot more to
lose,"she said.
Smith said she suspected the.
threat of losing their liquor license
would also force Quickie Burger
owners to "make an effort to curb
the rowdiness:'
Varujan Arman, co-owner of
Quickie Burger, said the res-
taurant has had no serious con-
frontations between customers
since the restaurant opened in
March.
DHARMSALA, India(AP) - For
two decades the Tibetan struggle
against China has been defined by
the Dalai Lama's measured path
of compromise. Now, it could be
abandoned for the long-held but
unlikely dream of independence.
More than 500 Tibetan exile
leaders opened weeklong discus-
sions Monday, the first major re-
evaluation of their strategy since
the Dalai Lama in 1988 outlined his
Nobel Peace Prize-winning"middle
way," which pushes for autonomy
but not outright independence for
the Himalayan region.
The meeting in this northern
India hill town, the base of Tibet's
self-proclaimed government-in-
exile, was called by the Dalai Lama,
the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
It comes after he expressed frus-
tration over years of fruitless talks
with China and follows this spring's
uprising by Tibetans across west-
ern China that was aggressively put
down by China.
"The middle way approach has
failed, it has not produced any
results," said Karma Chophel,
speaker of the exile Parliament. "In
that light, the Tibetan public should
come out with an opinion about
what to do."
China insists Tibet has been
part of its territory for 700 years,
although many Tibetans say they
were effectively independent for
most of that time. Chinese forces
invaded shortly after the 1949 com-
munist revolution and the Dalai
Lama fled to India in 1959 amid an
unsuccessfuluprising.
Large numbers of Tibetans
remain fervently Buddhist and
loyal to the Dalai Lama. If the exiles
choose a more confrontational
approach, Tibetans living under
Chinese rule would bear the brunt
of any government response.
Much of the debate is expected
to boil down to two main choices:
whether to continue pursuing the
politics of compromise or to begin a
long-shot independence movement
- amove almost certaintoend talks
held intermittently with Beijing
since 2002.
Within the two camps, there are
a range of possibilities, with vari-
ous factions urging more protests,
angrier protests, more pressure on
Western nations and even, in avery
small group, a push for sabotage of
China's infrastructure.
Samdhong Rinpoche, the exile
prime minister, called for an "open
and frank discussion" Monday
in a speech to delegates. He said
the meeting may not lead to a new
approach, and that any new path
needs to have "the clear mandate of
the people."
TheDalaiLamawasnotexpected
to attend; he said he did not want to
tilt the debate.
Any deviation from current poli-
cies was almost certain to scuttle
the tenuous ties with Beijing, which
has long accused the Dalai Lama of
fomenting an independence move-
ment. Analysts said a strong anti-
Beijing sentiment could play into
China's hands.
"It seems to be a possible Chinese
strategy to make the radical section
much stronger," said Robbie Bar-
nett, an expert on Tibet at Columbia
University. "It would mean no con-
tacts with China and make contacts
with the international community
very difficult."
That would be fine with some
delegates.
"We can't live with China," said
Lobsang Phelgye, 55, who came to
Dharmsala from the exile commu-
nity in Nepal.
The Dalai Lama's envoys to the
recent talks with Beijing said in a
statement Sunday that they had
presented China with a detailed
plan on how Tibetans could meet
their autonomy needs within the
framework of China's constitution.
KINESIOLOGY
From Page 1
Sullivan agreed, saying the pro-
gram's name shouldn't distinguish
it from others.
"They hire their own faculty, ad-
minister their own grants, develop
their own curriculum, graduate
their own students. I mean, what's
different about them from another
school?" she said.
Sullivansaidshehopes the change
will also aid the faculty search com-
mittee looking for a replacement for
BeverlyUlrich, the Division of Kine-
siology's dean for the last 10 years,
bymakingthe name of the academic
unit clearer.
Spinner said he hopes this change
will help the Division of Kinesiol-
ogy's reputation for not being as
academically rigorous as other pro-
grams on campus.
Of the Ph.D.-granting kinesiol-
ogy programs in the United States,
the University's was third in fund-
ing from the National Institutes of
Health and first in the Big Ten, Sul-
livan said.
According to documents released
Monday in advance of Thursday's
Board of Regents meeting, the Di-
vision of Kinesiology began as the
Department of Physical Education,
whichwashousedwithintheSchool
of Education in the late 1800s.
The School of Education expe-
rienced significant restructuring in
1984 and the Department of Physi-
cal Education was relocated out
of Education to be a free-standing
unit, with its chair becoming the di-
rector and reporting directly to the
provost.
"The old roots of kinesiology in
physical education have been sup-
planted by something that is much
closer to engineering, medicine,
bioengineering, business," Sullivan
said. "So that what they do today is
very different from what physical
educations departments did years
ago."
If the regents approve the pro-
posal Thursday, the name change
will be effective Dec. L
COLEMAN ASKS FOR
$35-MILLION STATE
FUNDING INCREASE
In the annual state funding re-
quest published online yesterday,
University President Mary Sue
Coleman asked for an increase of
10 percent, or $36 million, in appro-
priations from the state for the Uni-
versity's Ann Arbor campus for the
upcomingfiscalyear 2010.
Coleman specifically requested
that the Ann Arbor campus's state
appropriations be increased from
$327 million, the appropriations to-
tal for the fiscal year 2009, to $363
million, which was the amount the
University received for the fiscal
years 2002 and 2003.
Inthe fiscalyear2009, statefunds
accounted for 23 percent ofthe Gen-
eralFund budget for the University's
Ann Arbor campus - a 12 percent
drop from the 2002 fiscal year.
Coleman's letter, addressed to
State Budget Director Robert Emer-
son, said that if the state appropria-
tion stays flat or declines further, it
willrequirethe Universitytofurther
reduce expenditures while continu-
ing to increase tuition costs.
"The preservation and advance-
ment of the University's excel-
lence, and our ability to contribute
to the stabilization and growth of
the Michigan economy, become in-
creasingly more difficult as the level
of expenditure reduction increases;'
the letter said.
The letter also includes informa-
tion on the University's efforts to
contain spending costs, including
increasing the University's energy
efficiency and health improvement
programs for employees, while also
emphasizing the importance of the
University in boosting the state's
economy.
The difference in state funding
between the 2009 and 2002 fiscal
years is the result of a $36.4-million
decrease in state appropriations
that occurred duringthe 2002-2003
and 2003-2004 academic years.

saying his brother's death was one
of the main reasons he joined the
Parents's Circle Family Forum.
"I didn't want to be part of the
system or to be someone else's vic-
tim," he said. "I refuse to be bro-
ken."
But while both speakers took
questions from the audience, the
two protesters instead loudly
voicedtheiropinions onthe Israeli-
Palestinian conflict and were soon
after escorted out by policemen.
Afterward, the organizers of
the event said they thought it was
successful and found the speakers
interesting and insightful.
"I think it went reallywell, " said
LSA junior Bria Gray, co-chair of
the Union of Progressive Zionists.
"I'm really happy with the way the
speakers responded to questions; I
just wish more people were here to
hear the message."
Audience members and organiz-
ers of the event both agreed that
the message of the evening was an
important one that should be more
widely spread.
"There are alotofevents thatgo on
with people often promoting one side
of an issue, and itwas good for every-
one to hear the promotion of rec-
onciliation and actually addressing
things," LSA junior Oren Brandvain
said. "I think promoting openness is
really abeautifulthing."
"I thought the event was impor-
tant to have and thatthe message of
peace and understanding on both
sides was very important to get
across," said Business Schooljunior
Sasha Gribov, the chair of AML
The leaders of AMI, SAFE and
UPZ said the success of this event
could lead to future collaborations.
"I think this really has only
opened a door, and it showed peo-
ple that collaboration doesn't nec-
essarily onlymean with groups you
agree with," said LSA junior Lizzy
Lovinger, chair of UPZ and central
organizer of this event. "It's easier
to find common ground with peo-
ple than you think."
