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. - NATALIE BERKUS Kirsten Elling, who works at the Center for the Education of Women, said the CEW winter job fair was cancelled yesterday because of low attendance. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JACOB SMILOVITZ DAN NEWMAN Editor in Chief Business Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0558 smitovitz@michigandailycom rmdbusiness@armait.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom office hours:Sun.-Thurs.i1a.m. -2 a.m. NewsTips news@michigandaily.com Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Photography Department photo@michigandaily.com ArtsSection artspage@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Online Sales ontineads@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandailycom EDITORIAL STAFF Matt Aaronson Managing Editor aaronson@michigandaily.com .lillian Berman ManagingNewsEditor berman@michigandaity.com E oN E r sT Sicle Aber, Mallory Jones, Stephanie Steinberg, Kyle ArSIr nNESEITonsDylninti,sDyrr EynFtgeraldJoseph Lichterman, Veonica Menaldi, AnnThnoma,Do~nTrsy, Elyarannwggs Rachel Van Gilder Editorial Page Editor vangilder@michigandailycom SENIOR EDITORIAL PAGE EDITORS: Brian Flaherty, Erika Mayer, EmiyOrley, Laura ASSISTANT EDI TORIALPAGE EDITORS:MichelleDeWitt,AlexSchiff,MatthewShutler Ryan Kartje Managing Sports Editor kartje@michigandaily.com SENIOR SPORTS EDITORS: Nicole Auerbach, Mark Burns, Gjon Juncaj, Chris Meszaros, Joe Stapleton ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITORS: Michael Florek, Alex Hermann, Ryan Podges,Zak Pyzik,TimRonan, AmyScarano lamieBlock ManagingArtsEditor block@michigandaity.com SENIORARTSEDITORS:CarolynKlarecki,AndrewLapin,JeffSanford ASSISTANT ARTS EDITORS: Leah Burgin, Sharon Jacobs, Brigid Kilcoin, Mike Kuntz, KavisShekhar Pandey Max Collinsand photo@michigandailycom Sam Wolson ManagingPhoto Editors *ENHOTOEDITORFORMULTIMEDIA:ChanelVonHabsburg-Lothringen ASSIS'TANT PHOTO EDITORS: Aaron Augsburger, Jake Fromm, Jed Moch Sarah Squire and design@michigandaily.com AnnaLein-Zielinski ManagingDesignEditors SENIOR DESIGN EDITORAea oni hi Trevor Calero Magazine Editor calero@michigandaily.com DEPUTY MAGAZINE EDITOR: Allie White Melanie Friedand copydesk@michigandaily.com Rachel Phillips CopyChiefs BUSINESS STAFF Katie lozwiak sales Manager SALESFORC EMAM AGGEone y Tigg Ryan Businski Classified Manager CLASSIFIED ASS ISTANT MANAGER: Kayla LaFata Jason Mahakian Production Manager Allison SantacreU LayoutManager Vivian Lee Finance Manager Brittany Morales Circulation Manager Brad Wiley Project Coordinator eMichigan Daiy (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University oMichigan.One copy isavailablefree ocharge to all readers.Additionacopiesmay bepickedpat the alys officefor$2.subscriptionsfor fall term, starting in September, viaU.S. mail are $110.

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 night, Ann Arbor's workforce is anything but asleep. From bagel deliv- ery men to housing security, there's a whole other culture of graveyard shift workers.

"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." Bargains? We 'nvented 'em.
