Bob Callahan, a Princeton alum and head coach of the men's squash team, attend- ed an open forum hosted by the university's presidential search committee on Tuesday and said while he doesn't dis- like Petreaus, he is unsure of his future as a leader of the CRIME NOTES university. "It's tragic ... but certainly Princeton is a world-class insti- tution, and we only want the best representation at the presi- dential level," Callahan said. PROMINENT UNIVERSITIES LAUNCH NEW ONLINE COURSES On Thursday, 10 universities announced they will partner to offer online courses to under- graduates, The Daily North- western reported. The platform, called Semes- ter Online, will allow students who attend the universities involved to take courses online, while interacting with the pro- fessor and peers in real time over video chat, as well as access course materials and a course chat room. Institutions in the part- nership include, among oth- ers, Northwestern University, Washington University in St. Louis, Emory University, Duke University and Wake Forest University. Northwestern Provost Dan Linzer said working with other universities will be better than a single institution creating a similar program independent- ly. -RA YZA GOLDSMITH Newsroom 734-418-41 5opt.3 Corrections corrections@miehigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com PhotographySection photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 0 Hindu Students Council President Chandramouli Nagarajan, prays with other members during their weekly meeting.

During the event, held in Palmer Commons, students lis- tened to presentations focused on health, disease and initia- tives to prevent illness, and heard about opportunities for public health research abroad. Students also showcased their findings from projects conduct- ed throughout the last year and engaged with attendees. The day kicked off with a keynote address from William J. Martin, the associate direc- tor for disease prevention and health promotion at the Nation- al Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. Martin's lecture focused on global health issues surrounding chronic respirato- ry diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Martin began by character- izing non-communicable dis- eases - medical conditions that cannot be transmitted from person to person - as one of the main public health issues worldwide. He also dis- cussed the asthma epidemic in the 20th century, noting the impact nutrition, environment, trans-generational factors and birth weight has on the fetal origins of diseases. "Prevention of disease may be possible in the first thou- sand days, years before it even begins," Martin said. He added that the Univer- sity should oversee its efforts abroad to maximize success and make a positive impact, emphasizing that their com- mitmentto international health should be a long-term effort. "I think the key is for univer- sities individually to figure out what their talent sets are, what they can provide and develop sustainable relationships with other universities or centers in host countries," Martin said. After Martin concluded his lecture, the audience asked stu- dent panelists questions about their experiences, accom- plishments and challenges in working to implement progres- sive and sustainable change. The three campus organiza- tions represented were Global REACH, the Minority Health and Health Disparities Inter- national Research Training program and Bolivia Interdis- ciplinary Internship Group. Following the student pan- els, a poster session was held to highlight student and faculty research conducted overseas. LSA junior William Rog- ers, who worked on a project involving family planning and fertility in Uganda through MHIRT, said the experience changed his outlook on what it means to be a global citizen. "I think we live in an increasingly global world, so to critically engage with issues of population is important, given that many countries are rapidly increasing with population," Rogers said. "There's a ques- tion of, to what point do we have too many people, and how does that impact health ser- vices, how does it impact food systems?" Public Health graduate stu- dent Courtney Hanna, who researched breast cancer in Morocco last summer, said her time abroad helped her become more of a global student. 0 "It definitely made me more resilient, in terms of being dropped into a country," Hanna said. "I had to navigate myself in the hospitals. The medical records were all in French and I didn't speak French, so I had to learn some to be able to read the medical records ... This experience really changed me." Students at the fair found the presentations to be very helpful and insightful, helping them choose their global health study abroad plans for the sum- mer. Business junior Becca Pol lick found that listening to oth- ers who have conducted health 4 research abroad is essential to becoming a more globally inte- grated student. "I think we see things in terms of our own bubble," Pol- lick said. "It's more of what we know is only what we see. There's so much more to that, especially globally. How are you going to learn it if it's not from listening to others who are knowledgeable about it?" said. Saltzman said such action was taken on July 1, when a 10-percent cut to wages in the Detroit Police Department was instituted by the emer- gency manager. He added that any new reforms to the current emer- gency manager law will still contain some of the Public Act 4 elements, but will not give as much power to the man- ager if it is going to remain in effect. "The Republicans still have control of the state legislature ... but they can't pass the same law that has been rejected by the voters, but they will try to have something that gives more authority to emergency managers than the old law," Saltzman said.

"My hope is that this time around, the Republicans will be more bipartisan about the way they approach the issue and allow some of the Democratic amendments to be successful," Irwin said. Snyder was not available for comment on the proposal's failure. However, he said in a November statement that he believed the act had the poten- tial to improve the state's econ- omy. "This law creates an early warning system to help com- munities avoid a financial emergency, or if they are in emergency, it empowers an emergency manager with more ability to complete their work so a community can get back on track faster," Snyder said in the statement. Adjunct public health lec- turer Gregory Saltzman, a pro- fessor of economics at Albion College, said the proposal's rejection will have varying effects on communities across Michigan, but particularly sig- nificant effects on those with emergency managers already in place. "People may be a little bit anxious about whether they'll be able to meet their financial obligations and that could cre- ate economic problems for the communities in fiscal trouble," Saltzman said. Four cities - Flint, Benton Harbor, Pontiac and Ecorse - and the school districts in Muskegon Heights, Detroit and Highland Park have emergency managers. Addi- tionally, Detroit, Inkster and River Rouge are under con- sent agreements, which offer a financial review team as an alternative to a manager. Saltzman noted that under Public Act 4, the emergency manager's extended author- ity allowed quicker and more extensive reform. "(Public Act 4) allowed emergency managers to have the authority to not follow the collective bargaining process for public employees anymore ... allowing the emer- gency manager to unilater- ally change wages," Saltzman 0 q p At.
