4 2A - Thursday, September 17, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers TUESDAY: Off the Beaten Path WEDNESDAY: TURDA:FRIDAY: Campus Clubs Be------er HrePhotos of the Week The embezzlement scandal of 1973 Being the president for sny organization csn be a dsunting task, snd for the University's 1973 Stu- dent Government Council president, this task was made even mnre daunting when he was charged with embezzlement. Lee Gill's rival can- didates pointed fingers when $8,500 from the SGC account was transferred to another account in Detroit under Gill's name. The word embezzlement was thrown around, but solid evidence could not be found, according to an Oct. 16, 1973 article in The Michigan Daily. The $8,500 was with- drawn by Gill from the Huron Valley Bank in the formo of a cashier's check, and the transfer was made tn provide easier access to the money, he claimed. It also kept the money away from University officials. Once in the Detroit bank, however, the money story becomes a little murky. Gill claimed that he put the money under his name because several bank tell- ers told him that he lacked the proper identification to open a corporate account. He then set up two accounts, one under his name, and another under K. Haywood, a friend who went to the bank with Gill, because Gill had only brought a student ID. Gill asserted that he had every intention of return- ing the next day to properly open the account. HoweverMonte Labadie, the offical of Manufac- turer's National where Gill opened the account, gave a different report. Labadie said that Gill made no men- tion of corporate accounts. His suspicions were only heightened when Gill did not have appropriate iden- tification, and the cashier's check was made out to the bank instead of the orga- nization from which the money came. The bank's Loss Preven- tion Department called Huron Valley Bank after receiving a call from Labadie. According to John Kennedy, the head of the department, Gill had the money taken out of the SGC account and made into a cashier's check per his per- sonal request. Henry Johnaon, vice president of Student Ser- vices, looked into the mat- ter, and had no reason to suspect that there was any criminal activity going on. In the end, Gill, David Fowler, the SGC adminis- trative vice president, and SGC Treasurer Rosemary Mullin went into the bank the next day and removed the money, which waa promptly returned to Ann Arbor. -FIDES ARANETA LSA freshman Kari Chen sits by the Angell Hall post- log wall, which she says is a good way to share infor- mation despite the fact that ads ultiwatelp bleed is with one another.
