DARLOW, REGENTS
CONDEMN CHARACTER
ATTACKS
Regent Julia Darlow (D-Ann
Arbor) read a statement at the
start of the meeting yesterday
condemning character attacks on
members of the University com-
munity.
"When any member of the Uni-
versity of Michigan community
is targeted because of his or her
identity, we are all attacked,"
Darlow said. "We know that our
community will continue to stand
together and uphold the Univer-
sity's values with dignity and
respect."
Andrew Shirvell, a civil service
employee in the appellate. divi-
sion of Michigan Attorney Gen-
eral Mike Cox's office, has come
under recent scrutiny for his out-
spoken criticism of Michigan Stu-
dent Assembly President Chris
Armstrong. In his blog, Shirvell
criticizes Armstrong's alleged
"radical homosexual agenda,"
The Michigan Daily reported ear-
lier this week.
Shrivell has also protested at
several campus events where
Armstrong has been present and
spoke during the community con-
cern portion of last week's MSA
meeting, during which he called
for Armstrong's resignation.
Darlow hinted toward
Shirvell's actions by saying that
these are "recent events that con-
cern (the regents) greatly."

Smith said.
He criticized Richner and
Newman on a variety of issues,
ranging from the University's
relationship with Chinese uni-
versities and researchers to the
ever-rising cost of tuition.
Regents Laurence Deitch (D-
Bingham Farms), Olivia Maynard
(D-Goodrich) and S. Martin Tay-
lor (D-Grosse Pointe Farms) - all
Democrats - vehemently defend-
ed their Republican colleagues.
REGENTS APPROVE OTHER
CONSTRUCTION PLANS
The regents also unanimously
approved three other construc-
tion plans.
First, the regents approved
renovations to the second floor of
the Michigan Memorial Phoenix
Laboratory. Schematic designs
for a 10,000 square-foot addi-
tion to the building were also
approved.
The $11.1 million project will
be funded with resources from
University investment proceeds,
the Office of the Vice President
for Research and the College
of Engineering. The project is
scheduled to be finished in the
spring of 2013.
The regents green-lit a $4.9
million renovation to the Aux-
iliary Services Building of the
School of Art and Design. The
renovation will increase studio
and office space by 4o percent
and save the University $114,000
in recurring costs for space that is
currently being leased. The proj-
ect is expected to be finished next
summer.

fiscal years. However, combined
with resources from federal enti-
ties, the University's research
grew 11.8 percent.
The other 0.3 percent of growth
in the University's research bud-
get last year was the result of Uni-
versity funding sources, which
grew by 12.9 percent, from $250
million in 2009 to $282 million in
2010.
University funding sources
don't account for endowment rev-
enue or development activities
that aid research, both of .which
are counted as non-federal fund-
ing sources.
And while continuing to make
double-digit percent gains in
research spending may not be
possible for the University, once
stimulus funding expires, Forrest
said the University is currently
on track to maintain a robust
research budget this year.
"Although it's still early, we
remain on a similar track for (this
year)," he said.
In an interview following yes-

calls were related to liquor license
violations, disorderly conduct,
assault and the request for police
involvement in order to control
crowds, the lawsuit states.
One of these calls to the police
involved complaints of "a large and
rowdy crowd" on Sept. 12, 2009,
according to the lawsuit. There
were between 700 and 800 people,
some of whom became involved in
"physical altercations," according
to the document.
Multiple calls to Mangray, Ser-
ras and representatives from Papa
Chulo's seeking comment went
unreturned.
Now, one year later, the club's
ownership and identity are
unknown. As of last week the only
physical sign of business was locat-
ed inside and read "Dream Niteclub

Any Lost or Stolen Items."
AnnArbor.com reported on Aug.

terday's meeting, University Pres-
ident Mary Sue Coleman praised
the University's quickly growing
research-spending levels.
"Of course the stimulus fund-
ing is extraordinarily impres-
sive, but what I was even more
impressed with was the underly-
ing 7 and a half percent increase
on just the base," Coleman said.
"Because when you get a base as
big as a billion dollars, to get that
type of a percentage increase is
astonishing."
Coleman added that aside from
the sheer volume of money allo-
cated to research on campus,
it's also important to consider
the implications of the research,
which benefits students and fac-
ulty while also often resulting in
practical applications.
"Because we really focus on
interdisciplinarity across the
institution, getting people togeth-
er, we're able to compete for really
big projects," Coleman said, refer-
encing the $19.5 million grant the
University received from the U.S.
Department of Energy. "I think
it's just tremendous because it
offers more opportunities for our
students to get involved."
was issued a liquor license and was
set to open on Sept. 2. But after
recent observations, there is no evi-
dence that shows the club is up and
running.
The lawsuit also contains a
requirement that Studio 4 close
altogether, or at least be closed on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
LSA junior Jordan Bailey said he
never witnessed any violence at Stu-
dio 4, and it was a fun place to go,
though it wasn't his favorite club.
School of Music, Theatre &
Dance senior Devin Lytle agreed,
saying that Studio 4 was a "cool"
club despite the hearsay about the
various fights that occurred there.
"It's always been a cool place to
be," Lytle said. "I've always went
with a big group of friends, but I've
heard that it could be sketchy."
LSA sophomore Sophia Van Alls-
burg said the club might have an
undeserved negative reputation.
"People who've never been
there think that it's a rough place,
but when I've been there I haven't
experienced that side of it," she
said.

MUNSON, FORREST
REAPPOINTED
The regents unanimously
reappointed Vice President of
Research Stephen Forrest and
College of Engineering Dean
David Munson Jr. to their respec-
tive posts.
In a letter to the regents, Uni-
versity President Mary Sue Cole-
man recommended that Forrest

During the public comments
portion of yesterday's regents'
meeting, Douglas Smith, a for-
mer faculty member of the
University's Medical School,
condemned Richner and Regent

Arbor) - the two Republicans on
the board both up for re-election
this fall - in a biting five-minute
speech.

fications.
"At last, we thought, our bright-
est young minds could enter this
field without worrying that they'd
go to the lab one day and find the
doors ordered shut by someone in
Washington D.C.," Harkin wrote.
Harkin, chair of the subcom-
mittee, wrote that Lamberth's
injunction came "out of the blue"
and that decision "placed a cloud
of uncertainty over this entire sci-
entific field."
At the hearing, Morrison cited
the difficulty he faced obtain-
ing NIH funding and approval
to use embryonic stem cell lines
to study Hirschsprung - a birth
defect caused by damaged neural
stem cells, according to a tran-
script of his testimony. Due to the
fluctuations in legislation involv-
ing embryonic stem cell fund-
ing, Morrison said the approval

process suffered repeated delays,
and was finally granted, only to
be stopped by Lamberth's injunc-
tion.
"We owe more to the patients
suffering from incurable diseas-
es," Morrison said in his testimo-
ny. "We owe it to them to support
all forms of stem cell research so
that no matter where the science
leads and where cures come from,
we can follow the most promising
avenues of discovery."
Opponents of federal funding
for embryonic stem cell research
stress there are alternative ways
to research treatments like using
adult stem cells, that do not
involve the use of embryos. How-
ever, Morrison said in his testi-
mony yesterday that the potential
of human embryonic stem cells
for treating disease cannot be
ignored.
"The reality is that many types
of stem cells are likely to yield sci-
entific advances - and potentially
new therapies - and it would be

foolish to place all our bets on
certain stem cells at such an early
stage in the. development of this
field," Morrison said.
In an e-mail interview last
night after his presentation, Mor-
rison wrote that he is worried
Congress will not act soon enough
to permanently overturn Lam-
berth's ruling.
"Although Congress has twice
previously voted to increase fed-
eral funding for human embry-
onic stem cell research, I am
concerned that new legislation
could get delayed by election year
politics," Morrison wrote.
Francis Collins, director of the
National Institutes of Health, also
testified yesterday in front of the
committee. According to a tran-
script of the testimony, Collins
told the committee that he is con-
cerned that the uncertainty of the
field may discourage young scien-
tists from pursing a career in stem
cell research and push current
researchers to move to countries

where research is more accepted.
Collins, a former University
professor, said in his testimony
that the NIH has invested more
than $500 million in human
embryonic stem cell research.
Just last year, the NIH granted
$6.8 million in federal stimulus
funds to University researchers
for stem cell-related projects.
In an NIH statement issued last
week, officials said the consid-
eration of grants, contracts and
applications involving the use of
human embryonic stem cells -
all of which were frozen by the
August injunction - will contin-
ue. The statement highlighted the
importance of stem cell research
for finding treatments for dis-
eases.
"Human embryonic stem cell
research holds the potential for
generating profound new insights
into disease, cell-based thera-
peutics, and novel methods of
screening for new drugs," offi-
cials said in the NIH statement.
