Major'U'donorsoore Former UMHS resident sentenced at federal court in child porn case By ADAM RUBENFIRE ManagingNews Editor DETROIT - Stephen Jenson, a former medical resident at the University of Michigan Health System, was sentenced Thurs- day to 36 months in federal pris- on for the possession of child pornography. The sentencing is the mini- mum mandatory sentence for possessing child pornography. Jenson's attorney, Raymond Cassar, argued that the nature of his client's crime did not require additional penalty. Jenson was arrested by Uni- versity Police in December 2011 after it was discovered that he had viewed child pornography in a University Hospital lounge. A fellow resident found his flash drive with obscene images on it and later reported the discovery to the attending physician. An attorney in the UMHS ini- tially told the resident that her concerns about the flash drive were' unfounded,' and neglected to report the incident to Univer- sity Police. It wasn't until six months later that the incident was re-reported by the attend- ing physician and University Police were notified. University President Mary Sue Coleman called the delay a "serious fail- ure on the part of the institu- tion." Communication problems between University Police and Hospital Security discovered during an internal review of the case prompted a reorganization of campus security agencies, which included the creation of the Division of Public Safety and Security, which puts all agen- cies under an umbrella division headed by UMPD chief Joe Pier- sante, DPSS's interim executive director. Initial state charges were dropped after the U.S. Secret Service arrested Jenson on the federal charges. Jenson was found to be in possession of 97 images and four videos, some of which he had viewed using hos- pital computers. Matthew Roth, the assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting the case, argued in a previous memo that Jenson should be sentenced to 48 months in prison because the crime was committed on a computer and the number of images he possessed, among other factors. U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn said though Jenson's crime did meet such factors for increasing the sentence, the See JENSON, Page 7 Anonymous gift revealed to be from Frankel family at regents meeting By JENNIFER CALFAS and SAM GRINGLAS DailyStaffReporters The University Cardiovas- cular Center will be named in honor of the late Samuel and Jean Frankel, whose family donated a combined $50 mil- lion to the center. Coleman announced at the University's Board of Regents meeting Thursday that the family added an additional $25 million to their previous anon- ymous donation of $25 mil- lion in 2007 when the center opened. The Regents approved the naming of the Cardiovas- cular Center to recognize the contributions. The meeting marked the first time the name of the anonymous donation was iden- tified. Coleman added that the donation made the center "a model in its approach to health care." The donation in 2007 sup- ported a health-care model focused on cooperation among health-care providers and on putting patients and families first - a multi-disciplined approach that has never been attempted before. Because of the success of the first donation, the Frankel family contributed another donation to the cen- ter to "build on successes of the last six years," Ora Pescovitz, the executive vice president for medical affairs, said. In an interview after the event, Pescovitz said the family's contributions have made the University's Car- diovascular Center an exam- ple for others to follow and has improved the U.S. World & Report's rankings of the center, where it ranks 12th in the nation. The center focuses on com- bating cardiovascular disease - the number-one killer of Americans today - by pre- venting, treating and studying heart disease, blood vessel dis- orders and stroke. Pescovitz added the dona- tions are a "transformational gift" that alters how an insti- tution functions, unlike small- er gifts that may not have as much of a dramatic impact. In addition to contribut- ing to the Center, Samuel and Jean Frankel provided funding in 2005 to create the Frankel See DONORS, Page 7 ADMINISTRATION New dean of Dentistry, vice provosts OKed Regents approve Laurie McCauley for Dentistry's top spot By JENNIFER CALFAS and SAM GRINGLAS Daily StaffReporters The University's Board of Regents approved several nomi- nations for faculty and adminis- trative positions at its meeting Thursday. Laurie McCauley was approved as the new dean of the University's School of Dentistry. McCauley is a renowned expert in the field of skeletal biology and has a long history at the University. She will begin her five-year appointment on Sept. 1, succeeding current dean Peter Polverini, who will step down after serving two terms as dean. McCauley earned her four degrees from The Ohio State University and began as an assis- tant professor at the University in 1992. She has been widely published in a number of jour- nals and written voluminously on the effects of hormones on bone growth and regeneration and cellular function. She is cur- rently on sabbatical and serv- ing as a visiting professor at the Harvard Medical School. McCauley praised her prede- cessors for the strong position the school is in. The Dentistry School is consistently ranked among the top 10 dental pro- grams in the country. "I'm hoping to continue to respect the clinicians as the leaders and the best," McCau- ley said. "I also want to provide exceptional multidisciplinary clinical care in our clinics and sustaining the excellence we have in our research mission. McCauley reaffirmed her commitment to teaching but added that she would work to sustain and increase the role that research plays at the school. "There's definitely pressure with the government support of research, but on the flipside, we're really well positioned with strength and outstanding faculty," McCauleysaid. "I think we can weather that storm. We'll continue to be competitive for our research." She has also served on a National Institutes of Health advisory committee and is a member of a number of profes- sional associations, a statement from the University said. She has given over 150 presenta- tions around the world on her research and evidence-based practice. In a statement, Univer- sity Provost Phil Hanlon said See NOMINATIONS, Page 7 Students for Choice presented 'The Vagina Monolouges' Thursday night at Rackhamn Auditorium, marking the plays first performence in Ann Arbor in five years.

The frater- nity has also been expelled from the University's Interfraternity Council - the governing institu- tion for fraternities on campus. Several members of the Greek community have received emails from leaders suggesting that the punishment is for an incident that occurred the night of March 14. Messages allege that a pledge was taken to the hospital after registering a lethally high blood alcohol content. Tom Fox, executive director of Psi Upsilon International Fra- ternity, the fraternity's national organization, said he was con- tacted by William Atkins, assis- tant director of Greek Life at the University, regarding the inci- dent. "A young man was transport- ed to the hospital after a party at a location outside of the chapter house on the evening of March 14th," Fox said.

It's lonely," the actress exclaimed under the bright lights of the Rackham Auditorium stage. "No! It's ... hungry!" She then reached for a CVS bag under her chair and poured a presum- ably new bottle of Hershey's syrup all over the girl sitting in front of her, impersonating her genitalia. This was just one scene of many in the vivacious perfor- mance of "The Vagina Mono- logues," a play that is made up of skitsbased on over 200 inter- views with real women and their experiences with their lady parts. "The Vagina Mono- logues" were presented Thurs- day by Students for Choice. The organization said the show was meant as a movement not just to get students over the taboo speaking about their body parts, but to open a dialogue about more serious issues fac- ing women all over the world, such as battery, rape and female genital mutilation. In between speeches about discovering their feminin- ity and embracing their sexu- ality, the all-female student cast raised awareness about the 200,000 women who will be raped and the one billion women who will experience violence worldwide in a year, organizers said. Most proceeds from the event went to Safe House, a support center in Ann Arbor for people impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. LSA freshman Connie Gao, a Students for Choice member, said while most of the audience was open-minded and recep- tive, she did receive some back- lash while passing out fliers outside the event.
