Romney assailed by GOP
rivals during SC primary
Rivals attempt
to slow Romney
after Huntsman
endorsement
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP)
- Under heavy debate pres-
sure from his rivals, Republican
presidential front-runner Mitt
Romney defended his record
as a venture capitalist, insisted
he bears no responsibility for
attack ads aired by his allies
and grudgingly said last night
he might release his income tax
returns this spring.
"I have nothing in them that
suggests there's any problem
and I'm happy to do so," he said.
"I sort of feel like we're showing
a lot of exposure at this point,"
he added in an apparent refer-
ence to the campaign to come

entrance for the existing foot-
ball museum to better integrate
it with the hall. According to the
communication, the Athletic
Department will primarily fund
the project and the renovations
are projected to cost about $9
million.
Brandon and Slottow also
proposed extensive renovations
to Yost Ice Arena in a separate
communication to the regents,
also to be funded by the Ath-
letic Department. The project
- which is slated to cost $14
million - will focus on the sky
boxes overlooking the arena and
will improve existing fire safety
and suppression systems.
Specifically, the press area
will be moved to the fifth level
and the media boxes on the
fourth level will be converted
into a series of luxury boxes for
spectators. The renovation will
also allow for smoother evacua-
tion in the event of an emergen-
cy, the communication states.
The Athletic Department
estimated that the Yost proj-
ect would be completed by this
fall and there's with no antici-
pated date of completion for the
Schembechler Hall renovations.
against Democratic President
Barack Obama.
Romney came under criti-
cism from the opening moments
of the debate, the first of two in
the run-up to this weekend's
first-in-the-South primary in
South Carolina. The former
Massachusetts governor won
the first two events of the cam-
paign, the Iowa caucuses and
last week's New Hampshire pri-
mary, and leads in the pre-pri-
mary polls in South Carolina.
One of his rivals, Newt Gin-
grich, has virtually conceded
that a victory for Romney in
South Carolina would assure his
nomination as Obama's Republi-
can rival in the fall, and none of
the other remaining contenders
has challenged that conclusion.
That only elevated the stakes
for last night's debate, feisty
from the outset as Gingrich,
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and for-
Hospital seeks to expand
market share in Wayne
County
In an effort to expand its
market share, the University of
Michigan Health System has
requested $39 million from the
regents for the lease of a new
facility in metro Detroit.
According to a communica-
tion to the regents from Slottow
and Ora Pescovitz, the Univer-
sity's executive vice president
for medical affairs, the proposed
funds would go toward leasing
a 100,000 square foot facility in
Northville Township for Faculty
Group Practice - a multi-spe-
cialty clinic - and Ambulatory
Care Services. The new facility
would support the existing Livo-
nia Center for Specialty Care.
Pescovitz and Slottow wrote
that the lease would last for
at least 25 years, and funding
would be drawn from the Hospi-
tals and Health Center's budget.
"As part of the University of
Michigan Health System strate-
gic plan to attract patients from
outside the local market (Liv-
ingston and Washtenaw coun-
ties), the Faculty Group Practice
and Ambulatory Care Services
have targeted the 1-275 corridor
in western Wayne County for an
expansion of services to improve
overall market share," the com-
mer Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorum sought to knock
Romney off stride while gener-
ally being careful to wrap their
criticism in anti-Obama rheto-
ric.
"We need to satisfy the coun-
try that whoever we nominate
has a record that can stand up to
Barack Obama in a very effec-
tive way," said Gingrich.
The five men on stage also
sought to outdo one another in
calling for lower taxes.
Paul won that competition
handily, saying he thought the
top rate should be zero.
And in a state with a heavy
military presence, the tone
seemed more aggressive than in
earlier debates.
Gingrich drew strong
applause when he said: "Andrew
Jackson had a pretty clear idea
about America's enemies. Kill
them."
munication states.
If the regents approve the
request, the facility is scheduled
for completion by winter 2014.
Regents to vote on utilities
upgrade for Northwood
Apartments
In an effort to improve safe-
ty and efficiency, the aging
Northwood Apartments are
scheduled to receive utility and
safety upgrades to modernize
the buildings, pending approval
by the regents.
In a communication to the
regents, Slottow and E. Royster
Harper, the University's vice
president for student affairs,
have requested $7.5 million for
upgrades to Northwood Apart-
ments I, II and II.
The upgrades will replace the
boiler systems with more effi-
cient designs and also update the
fire safety systems to meet "cur-
rent life standards," according to
the communication.
Slottow and Harper noted
that the apartments currently
house 686 students, and it's
unclear whether the project will
affect the availability of resi-
dences.
If approved, the communica-
tion stated that the project is
scheduled for completion in the
summer of 2013.
RECRUIT

ing the fraternity on campus,
since many members already
had other housing arrangements
prior to joining the fraternity.
The fraternity encountered
problems after an underage mem-
ber was admitted to the hospital
for alcohol poisoning in 2007.
The incident was one of a series
of problems, including a series of
Facebook pictures that emerged
depicting objectified women and
underage drinking, that drew the
attention of the national organi-
zation in 2007 and ultimately led
to the removal of the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity from campus.
"That's not what Beta's all
about," Wright said.
The fraternity also faced scru-
tiny after a young woman was
raped at a 2001 party that was
unregistered with the Interfra-
ternity Council. All fraterni-
ties are mandated to notify IFC
about events where alcohol will
be consumed and must adhere to
enforced codes that include the
presence of sober monitors.
Since its return in fall 2010, the
fraternity has shifted its focus
to forming a strong community
in an alcohol-free environment.
Wright said the fraternity has
also installed a director of re-
establishment within the house
to help rebuild the chapter and
recruit potential members.
Wright explained that during
the fraternity's absence on cam-
pus, the Beta house was rented to
graduate students to avoid losing
ownership of the property. New
members were initiated last win-
ter and last fall, and this Septem-
ber a group of members moved
into the house.
With members and non-mem-
bers residing in the Beta house,
Wright said the fraternity plans
extensively before holding a
party out of respect for all resi-
dents.
"(Parties are) a very tough sit-
uation to handle, but, at the same
time, we're very respectful and
we try to inform (non-members)
well in advance," Wright said.
He added that portions of the
house are blocked off to visitors
and non-members are notified of
plans as soon as possible.
"Obviously we'll respect
(non-members) because they're
residents involved in part of the
housing operations as much aswe
are," Wright said.
Williams, who is also a mem-
ber of the fraternity's advisory
board, said he has helped with
the re-colonization of the frater-
nity, including enforcing policies
and ensuring operations in the
house run smoothly. Williams is
also employed by Alpha Manage-
ment Group, the company work-
ing to fill vacancies in the house.
"I basically serve as a mentor
for not only the students in our
fraternity, but pretty much any-
one who lives in this house, in
terms of maintaining a diverse,
comfortable and intellectually
stimulating environment," Wil-
hams said.
Williams said there is no set
limit on how many non-members
can live in the Beta house, adding
that from the interactions he has
witnessed, he believes the Beta
and non-Beta residents get along
well.
"It really adds onto the atmo-
sphere in a positive way, and
there's a lot of people that we
enjoy hanging out with," Wil-
liams said. "It's surprisingly a
very respectable and fun envi-
ronment to be in, and it definitely
works out."
LSA senior Leah Heller, who
has lived in Beta house since May,
said her brother is a Beta member
and recommended the house to
her.
"(The house) seemed really
nice," Heller said. "At first, I
didn't believe it ... it's nice and
welcoming."
Non-members in the Beta
house can purchase a meal plan
through the fraternity, which
Heller said gave her the chance
to interact with many of the Beta
members.
LSA sophomore Maxwell Salva-
tore is a Beta brother who has lived
in the house since September. He
said the members and non-mem-
bers coexist peacefully together.
"We don't get in each other's
way," he said, adding that he
enjoys the environment of the
house and plans to live there for
the 2012-2013 academic year.
