According to the article, West- ern Michigan University students, visiting scholars and local histori- cal groups use the archives, which attract 4,000 visitors a year. Some faculty and staff in the history department and the library system say the move could hurt the school's research efforts. Though many are concerned about the potential move, the article also reported that the current location of the archives hasn't been renovated for 50 years. With both locations getting nega- tive feedback, WMU officials told the Herald they are thinking about con- structing a new building on campus to house the archives. "An architect has been chosen," Sha- ron Carlson, the archives director, told the Herald. "It is in the design phase." MALES LESS LIKELY TO TRY FOR NON-PROFIT JOBS Princeton Project 55 - an employ- ment service that connects job-seeking seniors and recent graduate students from Princeton University with non- profit organizations - reported that three-quarters of its applicants for the 2010-11 academic year are women, according to an article in The Daily Princetonian. According to the article, the group actively tries to advertise its services to both men and women to close the gen- der gap. The apparent gender gap is also seen in other public service programs at Princeton, including Teach for America, which hopes to recruit more men into its program, according to the article. A spokeswoman for TFA told the Princ- etonian that men maybe less inclinedto apply to TFA or other service programs because of "historical stereotypes (about) pay, prestige and gender roles." WYCLEF JEAN SET TO PUT ON SA CONCERT AT HARVARD Harvard University's Harvard Foun- dation will be presenting Grammy Award Winner Wyclef Jean with its 2010 Artist of the Year award at its Cultural Rhythms show on Feb. 27, according to an article in The Harvard Crimson. The article reported that The Har- vard Foundation wanted to present the award to an artist that was an active participant in society. Jean is a native of Haiti and has been an active force in helping Haiti deal with the earthquake that took place on Jan.12. "We look for people who have con- tributed to society more than just their talent in the arts," Elizabeth Eze, stu- dent advisory committee secretary for The Harvard Foundation, told the Crimson. "We look for people who have given back." - PATRICIA SNIDER CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Of News Tips Corrections Letterstothe Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Page Sports Section Display Sales Classified Sales Online Sales Finance EDITORIAL STAFF ,fie horsSu.-Thur~os. n. - 2a.m. nees@,richigandaiy.cax corrections@micitandaiy.corm tothedaity@michianrdaityecrm photo@michiadaiy.comr arspae~ihigadaiy.coms opinion@msichiandaiy.corm sports@michigandaily.com display@mrichigandaiy.com cassifiad@m~ichigasdaityacom onlieads@msicigadaiy.com finance@rmiieadaiy.aar, Dancers at the University of Michigan Student Nurses Association's third annual "Hope for Haiti" Charity Ball at the Michigan League Ballroom.

Jason Robert Bourque, 19, and 21-year-old Daniel 'George McAl- lister face one count of felony arson for a church fire in rural Smith County near Tyler, about 90 miles east of Dallas, said Tom Crowley, spokesman for the Bureau of Alco- hol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo- sives. Bond is set at $10 million apiece. They could face life in prison if convicted. "Because they are charged with one doesn't mean they're not going to be charged with some of the oth- ers," Crowley said. Crowley and Smith County jail officials said they had no informa- tion on attorneys for either men. Bourque, of nearby Lindale, was arrested yesterday in Van Zandt County, site of four of 10 church fires in east Texas this year that authorities believe were intention- ally set, Crowley said. McAllister was taken into cus- tody in San Antonio, where Crow- ley said he had recently moved. He said Bourque and McAllister used to attend First Baptist Church in McAllister's hometown of Ben Wheeler. o ptions.

Summer Sessions at Loyola - LUC.edu/summer LOYOLA UyIVERSITY CHICAO Preparing people to lead extraordinary lipves Former neurobiology professor charged with opening fire on colleagues BOSTON (AP) - Amy Bishop's intelligence was never debatable. Even as a child, she didn't hesi- tate to tell people when they were wrong. As she grew older, earned a Harvard Ph.D and claimed a genius IQ of 180, her brilliance could come with a bluntness, condescension and volatile self- righteousness. It was all on display in 2002 when she yelled, "I am Dr. Amy Bishop!" as she belted a woman at a Massachusetts restaurant in a fight over a child's booster seat. Eight years later, the neurobi- ologist was denied tenure at an Alabama university, a failure her husband and her attorney said played a role in a shooting ram- page that left three of Bishop's colleagues dead and three others injured. Bishop's lawyer, Roy W. Mill- er, said his client was part of the "intelligentsia," so smart she has trouble relating to the world. "Her history speaks for itself," he said. "Something's wrong with this lady, OK?" Bishop, 45, grew up in subur- ban Braintree, about eight miles south of Boston. Her mother, Judith, was active in local poli- tics as one of 240 elected town meeting members. Her father, Samuel Bishop, was a North- eastern University art professor whose former students include David Bushell, a producer on films including the Academy Award-winning "Sling Blade." The Bishops were friendly and academically minded parents, often urging their children, both gifted students and violinists, to get their work done, Dan Shaw said. He was frequently over at their house as a child visiting the Bishops' son, Seth. Shaw didn't know Amy Bishop well but remembered her "excep- tional intelligence" and that she wasn't shy about giving her opin- ion. "If somebody was talking about something and she felt they were incorrect, she'd (say) to the person, this is this or that is that," he said. Shaw also recalled the funeral for Seth Bishop. The 18-year-old was killed in 1986 when his sis- ter fired a shotgun blast into his chest, then fled. She was arrest- ed at gunpoint but never charged in the death, which was ruled accidental. That killing is getting new scrutiny since the rampage at the University of Alabama in Hunts-, ville. Shaw, 40, remembered waiting in a line of mourners to give con- dolences to the family and find- ing Amy Bishop being propped up by her parents, weeping hys- terically. Shaw said no one in Braintree, where Shaw has lived most of his life, ever thought she meant to kill her brother, whom Bishop named her only son after. Shaw's opinion hasn't .changed, despite implications by the current police chief that she was protect- ed by a cover-up.. "The Bishops had no political clout in town," Shaw said. Amy Bishop was at Northeast- ern University when she shot her brother, and there was no interruption to her schooling.- She graduated cum laude in 1988 with a biology degree, complet- ing an honors thesis titled, "The effect of temperature on the recovery of sea lamprey from full spinal cord transection." She earned her Ph.D. in genet- ics from Harvard in 1993. It was also that year that she was ques- tioned by police when a doctor she worked with at Children's Hospital received a mail bomb that never went off. No one was ever charged in the case. After earning her doctorate, she began an academic career that took her from Harvard to Huntsville. Bishop co-authored 17 pub- lished papers and also invented a new kind of cell incubator. In the meantime, she had three daugh- ters and a son with her husband, James Anderson, whom she met at a gathering to play the Dun- geons & Dragons fantasy game. She moved in 2003 to Hunts- ville, where students gave her mixed reviews. Some found her obsessed with her Harvard pedi- gree, while others hailed her brilliance. Despite her prodi- gious intellect, she was denied tenure. Her job was about to end this semester. Dr. Keith Ablow, a forensic psychiatrist from Tufts Univer- sity in the Boston suburb of Med- ford, said the tenure denial could have been like "a kind of deadly assault on her ego" if her self- worth was wrapped up in her academic credentials. "In that way, firing a gun at those people could feel like self- defense in a twisted way," he said. Bishop's friend Rob Dinsmoor. said she was frustrated over her tenure battle, but never let on how furious she was. There were other things she hid during their regular conversations, including that she once had a brother. "I felt we could talk about anything," Dinsmoor said. "But obviously there were things that she would not talk to me about." Dinsmoor said that amid her career problems, Bishop dreamed about a literary escape. One of her three unpublished novels, "Amazon Fever," has pieces of her real life. One char- acter was tortured by the death of his brother. Bishop takes some shots at Harvard, including the line, "At Harvard even the bar tenders are snotty." Her main character, a female researcher, is frustrated about her stalled career and literally dreams about tenure. "She felt warm, happy, ful- filled and yet she knew it was just a dream," wrote Bishop, a second cousin of novelist John Irving. Bishop is being held without bond on capital murder charges. She's under suicide watch, and her attorney said she's remorse- ful but can't recall the shooting - which is exactly what she told police after she shot her brother. Bishop's husband said she calls to check on their children, but he can't tell how she's doing.
