The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com INVESTIGATION From Page 1 exhausted its own investigation and is now waiting on new evi- dence from the detective unit. As of 6 p.m. yesterday night, the Ann Arbor Police Department Detective's Bureau had not returned the Daily's phone calls regarding the current status of its investigation. If the detectives don't obtain any leads, the cause of the fire will be ruled undetermined, but the case will remain open. "Undetermined fires are never really closed out," Chamberlain LECTURE From Page 1 said. "You never know when some- one might come forward." Chamberlain explained that in the event that an arson case goes undetermined, it will remain that way until a witness or suspect brings forth new evidence. "Arsons are usually built on cir- cumstantial evidence rather than direct evidence," Chamberlain told the Daily. "They're very diffi- cult. We process what we have and are waiting to see if anything new comes up." Chamberlain urged witnesses to call the fire department or police detectives unit with any additional information they have aboutthe fire. Tuesday, November)10, 2009 - 7 Chamberlain was quoted in an earlier Daily article saying that fire officials determined the blaze start- ed on a corner of an upper floor of the building, and very quickly had spread through the entire structure. Neighboring buildings including the apartment complex University Towers and Momo Tea sustained minor damage as a result of the fire. Momo Tea reopened on Friday after damage to its kitchen forced the business to close for some time. University Towers was evacu- ated during the fire for safety pur- poses,butthe 600 displacedtenants were allowed back intotheir homes within a few horns U.S. Army Sgt.

The FBI will conduct an inter- nal review of its handling of the information, they said. An investigative official and a Republican lawmaker said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was in contact with Anwar al-Awlaki, an imam released from a Yemeni jail last year, 10 to 20 times. Despite that, MARTIN From Page 1 slightly. The man then said, "I am the athletic director, I can go in," according to the report. After Kahn refused to allow the man into the area without the prop- er credentials, the man grabbed Kahn's identification badge and asked to know his name. Kahn told DPS that a University Development Events staff member then identi- fied the man as the athletic direc- tor and let him into the area.

Nystrom said it's ultimately up TRIAL From Page 1 Green, began opening statements mid-morning by painting McGee as a hard-working man dedicated to furthering his education. McGee, who holds both bache- lor's and master's degrees from the University, worked as a radiation safety officer at Ford Motor Com- pany before returning to the Uni- versity full-time in August 2004 to study neutron radiology. To further his quest to become a professor, McGee became a pre-candidate for " the Ph.D. program. Hartman began his assistant professorship in fall 2007, the same year he hired McGee. McGee was assigned to complete the security systems for a neutron generator in the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Building on North Campus. Green said McGee began to question Hartman's care for safety when he began setting safety sys- tem deadlines so early they couldn't be completed in time. Hartman would also occasionally bring his son, a minor at the time, into the lab to assist him, an act McGee thought was unsafe. Hartman caused a problem with the laboratory's neutron generator when he fired it up while McGee was out of town on Nov. 6, 2007. Green said that after the incident McGee expressed his concerns to two nuclear engineering and radio- logical sciences professors, James Holloway and John Lee. Green said McGee observed Hartman and another graduate student pouring unknown chemi- cals down the drain of a recently installed stainless steel sink on Feb.16, 2008. McGee had concerns about the chemicals going down the drain becyuse he believed it cuss the case. Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said it was his understanding Hasan and the imam exchanged e-mails that counterterrorism officials picked up. Hasan, awake and talking to doctors, met his lawyer yesterday in the Texas hospital where he is recovering under guard from gunshot wounds in the rampage Thursday that left 13 people dead and 29 injured. Officials said he will be tried in a military court, not a civilian one. FBI Director Robert Mueller has ordered an internal inquiry to see University spokeswoman, Kelly Cunningham, wrote in an e-mail statement that the incident was the result of confusion over a new security policy and that DPS has closed the file. "There was a situation at the stadium involving two University employees and Athletic Director Bill Martin," she wrote. "The employees were part of a new security process for the stadium's guest areas and they (one each, on two separate occasions) did not initially allow Martin - who was unaware of the new proce- dure - to enter. The change caused Based on all the investiga- tions since the attack, including a review of that 2008 information, the investigators said they have no evidence that Hasan had help or outside orders in the shoot- ings. Even so, they revealed the major had once been under scrutiny from a joint terrorism task force because of the series of communications going back months. AI-Awlaki is a former imam at a Falls Church, Va., mosque where Hasan and his fam- ily occasionally worshipped, and runs a Web site denouncing U.S. policy - a site that praised Hasan's alleged actions in the massacre as heroic. unnecessary confusion and we are working to improve the process for future games. The employees were satisfied with the follow up and the matter has been resolved." In the statement released yester- day, Martin said that he had apolo- gized to the two employees for the incidents. "I have communicated with both employees to discuss the situ- ation and express my regret," Mar- tin wrote. "They were just doing their jobs." On Oct. 21, Martin announced he would step down as athletic director effective Sept. 4, 2010. "It's a time set aside for thinking about academic and intellectual free- dom, (which are) core values for our campus and our education," she said. Hamburger who specializes in constitutional law and its history, based yesterday's lecture on his extensive study of First, Amend- ment rights and censorship. ?r Hamburger said there has been a dramatic shift toward censorship of scholarly work in the 21st centu- ry. He said while Americans think their freedoms of speech and press are protected by the First Amend- ment, this is not the case. "But faculty and students, including faculty and students right here in Michigan, no longer have the ability to control this freedom because of the revival of the licens- ing of speech and the press," Ham- burger said. Hamburger said the United States is moving toward drastic policies of press and speech censor- ship reminiscent of those held in the 17th century, during Galileo's time. At that time, individuals were AutOs AvaStvRev/Daiy required to hold licenses to print Columbia University Prof. Philip Hamburger discusses academic censorshipyesterday. and speak in a professional setting.

He said the legislature could do this by establishing gas taxes and regis- tration fees, in addition to coming up with new ideas like building toll roads and forming public-private partnerships. If the state doesn't address might lead to a storm drain, though this proved not to be the case. McGee said when he was assist- ing Hartman in another professor's laboratory later that day, Hartman could have exposed them to Cesium 137 - a highly radioactive material. Though the potential source of Cesi- um was later proved to be inactive, when McGee asked Hartman if the source was off, Green said Hartman responded that he was didn't know. McGee left the room immediately. McGee made a complaint about Hartman's laboratory safety to the University's Radiation Safety Ser- vice, Green said. Two days later, Hartman terminated McGee of all his responsibilities in the lab. David Masson, the attorney representing the University, used his opening statement to portray McGee in a different light. Masson said McGee's acceptance as a pre-candidate to the Ph.D. pro- gram in 2004 was debated at first, with concern about a history of incomplete grades and a GPA that did not fit department standards. Masson said the worsening relationship between McGee and Hartman was rooted in McGee's inability to finish tasks Hartman assigned him. Masson said Hart- man permitted McGee to work only 10 hours per week in his position because McGee had received an incomplete in a winter 2005 class. In early December 2007, Hart- man expressed his desire not to renew McGee's position in the laboratory, but McGee remained in the position for the winter semes- ter after Hartman's colleagues per- suaded him to keep McGee. After McGee sent multiple e-mails refusingto come in to work on the generator's safety system despite a Feb. 25 deadline, Masson said Hartman decided the project would best be completed without McGee. At this point, Hartmvan road problems soon, Nystrom said Michigan's roads will continue to fall apart. "The longer our state-elected officials wait to act on this issue," he said, "the further behind we will fall in terms of the amount of deterioration that we see on our roads and bridges." e-mailed McGee to tell him he was relieved of his duties in the lab, though he would be paid for the rest of the semester. Masson said Hartman was unaware of the safety complaints McGee had made about him at the time of McGee's termination. McGee began his testimony today, speaking of the amiable rela- tionship he had with Hartman at the beginning of his employment. "I appreciated him," McGee said. "I thought we were working well together." But after Hartman's failed attempt to start up the neutron generator in November, McGee said he began to have concerns about Hartman's care for safety in the laboratory. McGee said he couldn't make several safety deadlines because the credit card Hartman gave him to make necessary purchases for the laboratory was denied multiple times. McGee said he also had trouble meeting deadlines because he needed the fire marshal to approve several aspects of the laboratory's construction. McGee said Hartman's strict deadline demands and refusal to schedule around McGee's final exams was out of character for the relationship the two men had in the past. "I had no idea where these demands were coming from," McGee said. Masson's cross-examination of McGee is scheduled to take place tomorrow. Six women and one man make up the jury that will determine the outcome of the case. Two of the jurors are University employees. Judge Archie Brown set the trial to last the rest of the week, with jury deliberations to occur either Friday or next Monday. SCOREKEEPER'S SPORTS .
