I LOOKING FOR JOBSEEKERS
Picking the 'U' president
University presidents are often
chosen by administrators and fac-
ulty, but in 1966, University stu-
dents had a say.
The Student Government
Council passed a proposal - The
Replacement of Hatcher - that
called for students to help select
the successor to then-Univer-
sity President Harlan Hatcher,
according to a Jan. 28, 1966 arti-
cle in The Michigan Daily.
The committee would consist
of students and faculty members,
who would participate in making
the preliminary and ultimate deci-
sion regarding who would replace
Hatcher, who planned to leave his
position the following year.
The proposal was spearheaded
by then-junior Edward Robin-
son and then-sophomore Donald
Resnick - both members of the
SGC.
In the article, Robinson said he
believed "as a focal point of the
University, students should have
a voting voice in the choice of
their president."
Then-junior Alex Goodwin, a
SGC member, helped write a sec-
ond proposal with then-junior
Robert Bodkin that asked for the
University Board of Regents to
approve the committee's forma-
tion at the Feb. 11, 1966 regents
meeting.
"This is an area where students
have great interest and can hon-
estly be helpful in the selection of
the best man for the job," Good-
win said in the article.
Then-junior Steve Schwartz
agreed with Goodwin and said
in that article that "students
should be allowed to take part in
the decision making policy of the
University."
The proposal stated that the
committee should be composed
of one student for every two fac-
ulty. It also required the SGC to
submit a list of names of poten-
tial students who would sit on the
committee to the president of stu-
dent affairs.
The vice president, along with
the regents, would then make the
final decision on which students
would be chosen.
Hatcher served as the Univer-
sity's eight president from 1951 to
1967. The Harlan Hatcher Gradu-
ate Library was named in his
honor.
Robben Fleming, who passed
away Jan. 11, 2010, was chosen as
Hatcher's successor. Flemming
took office on Jan. 1 1968 and
served as University president for
11 years.

According to ABC.com,
Italy's National Committee
for Cultural Heritage said
Leonardo Da Vinci's famous
Mona Lisa painting may not be
of a woman, but rather a self-
portrait of him dressed in drag.
The historians plan to dig up
and reconstruct Da Vinci's skull
to see if it matches the facial
structures in the painting.
In the middle of the

there's a whole other culture

children with a dominant hand.
Only one in 100 children can use
both their left and righthands.

MAYNARD

earns about $60,000 a year," she
said. "That's about 20 percent
more than the average worker at all
(other) manufacturing companies
in the United States."
Maynard also said international
companies setting up shop in the
U.S. don't usually pose a threat
because they often form partner-
ships with American businesses.
Shecited Toyota's joint venture with
General Motors and India-based
TaTa Coffee Ltd.'s recent purchase
of New Jersey-based Eight O' Clock
Coffee as examples of this type of
collaboration.
"This has been an opportunity
for (American employees), rather
than anything for them to be con-
cerned about," she said.
Maynard also discussed local
issues facing Michigan, which she
explored in her 2003 book, "The
End of Detroit: How the Big Three
Lost Their Grip." She said Michi-
ganders need to rethink their eco-
nomic perspective in the wake of
the recession, and think realisti-
cally about the state's future.
"That mentality of, 'it will all
come back and be as great as ever,'
that's probably not going to hap-
pen," she said. "Barring somehuge
recovery of the American economy,
we're never going to get back to the
level of car sales that we once did."
Instead, Maynard - an Ann
Arbor native - said Michigan
should focus on leveraging its nat-
ural resources to create new eco-
nomic possibilities, and cultivating
the level of talent the state has in
certain sectors like engineering.
"The less we try to pretend that
the old days will come back and the
more we try to figure out what the
future will be, the better it will be
for the state," she said.
The effects of the recession
might actually be a positive change,
both for the state and the nation as
a whole, and can serve as a unique
opportunity to recreate the Ameri-
can economy, Maynard said.
"After the Great Depression, we
went to war," she said. "Essentially
we rebuilt our industrial complex
to a military complex. After World
War II, we looked inward and
rebuilt America. This time I don't
think we can rebuild ourselves by.
looking inward or by choosing con-
flict as a way to rebuild. It's time for
some deep rethinking."
Maynard said she sees hope for
the country's future in the entre-
preneurial attitude of her students
at the Business School.
"They aren't waiting ti ,rgp-
cued by big companies, they're tak-
ing it into their own hands, to have
their piece of it," she said.
Though she's proud of the aca-
demic accomplishments of her stu-
dents, Maynard said it's important
for'them to also think outside the
world.of finance and marketing.
"Make them go to Hill audito-
rium and hear Radiohead. Make
them go to the Folk Festival and
hear Rufus Wainright," she said,
amidst chuckles from the audience.
"Let people think in a more creative
way than the route we have now in
the business curriculum."
Maynard's views on foreign
investment made some audience
members question what they
originally thought about U.S. col-
laboration with international
businesses.
Business School sophomore
Kelsey Weisberg said she previously
focused more on the effects of U.S.
outsourcing rather than consider-
ing the impact foreign investments
have within U.S. borders.
"This is new to me because
it's something different from the
norm," she said. "It's interesting to
hear about foreign companies pro-
viding opportunities at home and I
think it's something we should look
into for future policy."
