Wearing gym shorts and strategi- cally placed towels, men from frater- nities and varsity sports teams at the University posed for the calendar free of charge in hopes of upstaging the Spartans. Nancy Anderson, the calendar's creator, told The Michigan Daily at the time that the product was "clas- sically suggestive" and that she found all the models through recommenda- tions from sororities and bar manag- ers. "When girls told me about some really sharp guys, I trusted all those votes of confidence," Anderson said at the time, hinting that the models were "really good-looking with good bodies." 50 years ago this week: (Sept. 21, 1961) - Zeta Beta Tau became the first fraternity to move its house to North Campus. Fifty-one men moved into the house on the corner of Broadway and Hubbard streets. ZBT made special transportation arrangements to pick up potential new members and drive them from Central Campus as they began the rush process. "The new house is really not much further away than our old one," ZBT President Art Rosenbaum told the Daily at the time. "It's just a bit more secluded." 80 years ago this week: (Sept. 22, 1931) - New rules governing the fraternity rush process, conceived by the Interfraternity Council and Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley, went into effect at the beginning of the new academic year. Several new restrictions were put in place limiting the amount of inter- action fraternity members could have with the potential recruits. For example, unless employed by a fraternity, freshmen couldn't visit any of the houses during the fall semester. If a fraternity was holding an open house, potential recruits and estab- lished fraternity members were only permitted to speak outside the event if they were actually familial brothers. - JOSEPH LICHTERMAN Newsroom 734-418-4ts opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaiy@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com TERA MOLNGRAF/Dail A student walks through the Law Quad rangle in the rain yesterday.

A Sept.15 article in the Daily ('LibertySt. Borders space could be split into three areas') incorrectly stated the status and future use of the Borders space. The space may have been bought and could potentially be subdivided into three different build-outs. The story also incorrectly misquoted Rachel Pastiva and misidentified her. Pastiva is the manager of Crazy Wisdom Bookstore & Tea Room. . Please report any error in the Daily to corrections@michi- gandailycom.

FELLOWSHIP From Page 1 the recipients quarterly over five years. Miles said she plans to split her grant among several projects, including research about the his- tory of slavery in Detroit and throughout the state of Michigan. "It's a really fascinating story that I look forward to having time to delve into," she said. "And, of course, having fellowship funds helps to create time." Miles also said she will devote some fundstoenhance ECOGirls, a program she developed to enhance environmental awareness and cultural diversity among elemen- tary and middle school age girls in Michigan's urban communities. Yamashita wrote that she will continue to study the biol- ogy of stem cells, focusing on the asymmetric division of the cells. She said asymmetric division is believed to generate tissue homeo- stasis - or a stable condition - and when it malfunctions, it can become a causing factor of cancer or tissue degeneration. Sanford, who researches organic and inorganic chemistry, will work on the development of metal catalysts to cause a reac- tion in carbon-hydrogen bonds. Though the bonds are found in many chemicals ranging from DNA to shampoo, Sanford wrote that the bonds are typically unre- active. If the metal catalysts can be used to cause a reaction, San- ford wrote, the bond could be made into new atom groups used to make pharmaceuticals greener and could also become possible natural gas convertors. The MacArthur Fellowship has no application process. Recipients are nominated anonymously by a group of people who, also anony- mously, submit recommendations to a selection committee of about a dozen leaders in fields ranging ative efforts and promise of each from the sciences to the arts.

"Pro- fessors who are working in an area thatrequires alot of external funding need to think about how to manage through these times, which are going to be extended."

"As you can imagine, I did not sleep much on the flight," Sanford wrote. According to Yamashita, the MaCarthur Foundation told the recipients that until today, they could only tell their spouses about the award. When she first told her husband, he thought it was a hoax. Yamashita wrote: "He seri- ously warned me, 'Okay, if you get a second phone call asking (for) your bank account and the PIN number, saying they need it for award money transfer, don't give them away."' STUDENTS RECEIVE FACULTY-FUNDED SCHOLARSHIP Earlier in the meeting, Semyon Meerkov, a professor of electri- cal engineering and computer science, gave an update on the first two student recipients of a faculty-supported, need-based fellowship called University Fac- ulty Undergraduate Scholarship Foundation, which he proposed to SACUA in May 2007. Meerkov said that 102 faculty members donated money and raised $66,760 for the students. That amount was then matched by the Office of the President and the scholarship fund reached a total of $121,514. Because $6,000 is needed each year to maintain the program, Meerkov said additional funds will be needed. To provide the funding, Meerkov said the foun- dation will have a campaign to raise more money, and he urged assembly members to make a donation of $10 each month. - The two recipients of the scholarship, LSA senior Lama Bandar and Engineering fresh- man David Thompson, who each receive $3,000 per year they're in school, gave a brief speech to the assembly about what theyS have done or plan to do as under- graduates. Barald said she hopes more fac- ulty members will donate to the faculty Undergraduate Scholar- ship Foundation. "The faculty are only as good as the students and vice versa," Barald said. "It's a real symbiotic relationship." CoURTESY OF THE JOHN D. AND CATHERINET.

In an interview after the meet- ing, Kate Barald, chair of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs and aprofessor of cell and developmental biology and biomedical engineering, said she's worried about the future of research with the possible fund- ing cuts. "Universities like Michigan have a very large contingent of people who are dependent on out- side funding, and that means that fewer people could be supported if that funding stream dries up," Barald said. "Unless we can gar- ner more philanthropy, we're in trouble because the federal rev- enue stream is drying up." In addition, Barald said that without grants, principal inves- tigators wouldn't be able to sup- port workers in their laboratories, which means research techni- cians and graduatestudents could losetheir jobs. She addedthatthis is the worst climate for federal funding she's seen in 30 years. ft --_.
