The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Thursday, March 5, 2009 - 7A The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom Thursday, March 5, 2009 - 7A DONORS From Page 1A When asked if these delays will affect University programs, Judith Malcolm, the director of communi- cations and donor relations for the University's Office of Development, said because donors are extending their payment times, the University now has less money to set aside for programs originally expected to receive more money sooner. If they were putting this into a scholarship account, it means there will be less money there earning interest," Malcolm said. "If their gift was to be spent now, yes it does mean there's less money to be spent so if they were funding a scholarship there is less money for the students." The total donations to the Uni- versity between the 2007-2008 fis- cal year and the 2008-2009 year have declined from $184,214,257 to $155,191,066 according to the Uni- versity Board of Regents website. University officials acknowledge that a small part of this decline is because of the economic downturn. The donations total isn't likely to increase anytime soon, May said. He predictsothat in the coming months, as the University further feels the impact of the financial crisis, getting new donations willbecome more difficult. "I think new commitments are going to be harder to get," May said. "We've just gone through a tremen- dous period in the last eight years of this campaign where we had a cam- paign,andthatwasthethingthatwas really positive. Now we don't have a campaign, we have what we call regular fundraising, so there's not the same sense of deadline, if you will." The downturn comes onthe heels of the University's record-setting Michigan Difference Campaign, which raised $3.2 billion since it became public in 2004.

State officials hope to learn from Danish green economy By MALLORY JONES For the Daily Gov. Jennifer Granholm will meet with members of the Danish Royal Embassy on campus today to discuss the first leg in their part- nership to address the prospect of an environmentally sustainable economy in Michigan and across. the United States. The Climate Group, an interna- tional nongovernmental organiza- tion that works with businesses and governments to stop climate change, willfacilitatethe partnership,which POWWOW From Page1A Rackham Graduate School stu- dent Conner Sandefur, a member of NASA, said the move reflects NASA's, desire to redirect the powwow's management away from the University's Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs and back to the Native American com- munity. Sandefur said that while MESA has done a great job planning the event in the past, the red tape of University bureaucracies do not allow Native American students to have as much direct involvement with the Native American commu- nity as they would like. "We are taking back our central control of the powwow to honor our community," he said. "One is meant to help create jobs in the. field of sustainable energy. Allison Hannon, Midwest regional manager for The Climate Group, said the event, which will take place in the Michigan League, will "maintain a dialogue" between the two governments. "We're bringing the .Danish minister, sort of the European experience, over to Michigan and to the Midwest where we're try- ing out figure out 'how we really do address climate change in the U.S.," Hannon said. The event, titled "Switching Gears," will include two panel dis- cussions with Michigan business leaders, including representatives from Ford Motor- Co. and Whirl- pool Corp., said Andrew Hoffman, a professor in the School of Natural of the great things that have hap- pened this year is we have been able to connect with the greater community. Native American stu- dents get to meet elders who feel comfortable coming because it's not within the confinements of the University setting." Amer Ahmed, associate direc- tor of the Office of Multi-Eth- nit Student Affairs, told the Ann Arbor News yesterday that the University will respect the group's decision to relocate the powwow. "The University of Michigan has been proud to support the Ann Arbor Powwow in whatever capac- ity the community felt comfortable with," he told the News. Ojibwe Lecturer Howard Kime-, won, who has attended the pow- wow in the past, said he hopes that the move will bring back traditions Resources and Environment and the Ross School of Business. Sen.Debbie Stabenow(D-Mich.) will speak via video, and Granholm will speak in person and sign an agreementwithConnieHedegaard, the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, officially cementing the collaboration between Michi- gan and Denmark. Hannon said the Danish gov- ernment officials chose to partner with Michigan because they want- ed to work with a part of the Unit- ed States where sustainable energy would have a large impact. "With Gov. Granholm being the chair of the Midwest Governors Association and talking aboutgreen jobs and green manufacturing and a new energy economy this seems like really one of the most logical that have been absent in the past. "I think that people are start- ing to wake up now," he said. "Last year, tradition wasn't there at all, it was all governed by the University of Michigan." Sandefur also said one of the major reasons for the move is the controversy surrounding about 1,900 Native American remains currently located in the Universi- ty's Museum of Anthropology. University officials maintain that they can't turn over any of the artifacts because the Native Amer- ican Graves Protection and Repa- triation Act requires them to keep all artifacts that are not considered "culturally identifiable." But last March, members of the Saginaw Chippewa tribe asked the Univer- sity to return culturally identifi- able objects, of which they claim ownership. APT. 1/2 blk from diag.- furnished, security.

Hannon said Hedegaard and others will be able to provide Michigan officials with advice on dealing with climate change because Denmark has a wide vari- ety of experience in sustainable energy. It is the home of one of the largest wind manufacturing com- panies in the world and is a par- ticipant in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, which puts a price on carbon emissions. Haanon added that Denmark is a leader in sustainable technolo- gies and will even host a meeting of the Conference of the Parties - the highest meeting body of the United Nations Framework Con- vention on Climate Change - in December. Sandefur said one of the reasons NASA is relocating the powwow is because the remains have yet to be returned. "(We are making) a statement that this is a wrong thing and that Michigan is supposed to be the leaders and the best," Sandefur said. "Let's be a leader and return the remains." Kimewon said he thinks the remains should no longer be housed at the University, "I strongly believe that native human remains should go where they belong in the Earth and finish their journey," he said. Though the powwow won't be at its usual home this year, Sandefur expects that the attendance rate will remain high. He added that they will be offering free shuttles from the Michigan Union to Saline Middle School. HOCKEY From Page 1A tor John Lewandowski refused to confirm yesterday that plans for a game at the Big Mouse were in the works, according to the Lansing State Journal. In 2001, the two in-state rivals met at Spartan Stadium in front of more than 74,000 people in a game dubbed the Cold War. The game ended in a 3-3 tie. Rumors of a rematch in the Big House have been passed around, but talks have never beenas serious as now. Trevor also said that the Michigan vs. Wisconsin outdoor hockey game at Camp Randall Stadium scheduled for Feb.'6, 2010 would be confirmed by the University of Wisconsin Ath- letic Departmentlater this week. Trevor stressed that planning for the game at the Big House is in the most preliminary stages, but said "it's definitely planned. People want to do it and everyone's behind it - it's a matter of moving forward and figuring out how." "There's still a lot to be decided," he said. "We have to decide what time the game will be, how much tickets will be, what companies can provide the outdoor ice. "We'll contact the NHL and see how the Blackhawks did it, and talk to the people that did the Cold War game at Michigan State back it 2001," he said. "And then we'll see how the Badgers do it next year." Trevor also said that packaging the game with an NHL matchup is not out of the question, since the production of the game is still in its early stages. "People are always saying, 'Oh, the Red Wings should play a game at the Big House,' " Trevor said. "We definitely want to do it ... but there's a lot of stuff that we would have to go through." - Daily Sports Editor Michael Eisenstein contributed to this report. LOVE THE WORLD WIDE WEB? SO DO WE!
