The ban, along with four years of probation and the loss of one scholarship per year, was put into place after the NCAA learned four players accepted more than $600,000 from Ed Martin during the 1990s. The organization also demanded those four play- ers be dissociated from the University for 10 years. Thomas Yeager, former chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions, said the infrac- tion was "one of the three or four most egregious violations of the NCAA bylaws in the his- tory of the association." How- ever, the NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee decided the postseason ban was excessive. Thirty years ago this week (Sept.23,1983): Ann Arbor Public Schools teachers ended a 16-day strike and returned to class- rooms, reluctantly accepting a 2.5-percent wage increase. Ann Arbor teachers' sala- ries ranked 75th among the 500 Michigan school dis- tricts, though most felt the 2.5-percent pay raise was "grossly inadequate," accord- ing to Dean Bodley, former vice president of the Ann Arbor Education Association. Sixty years ago this week (Sept.26,1953): The University's Board of Regents approved a $2.7-mil- lion expenditure to provide additional student housing over two years. The approval allowed the University to file preliminary applications with a federal agency for loans to cover the cost of construction. The other $1 million went toward the construction of 100 married-student housing units. -JUSTINDAWES Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com EditorialPage opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com 0 a Law student Eun Sung Lim plays the Korean drums during a Chuseok celebration at the School of Social Work Saturday.

"There is nothing inevitable about it - it comes about because of decisions we make or fail to make," Obama said. Reprising his role of the nation's consoler in chief after yet another mass shooting, Obama issued a call to action on gun control measures that failed to pass earlier this year and show no new momentum in the wake of last week's rampage at a military installation just blocks from the Capitol. "Our tears are not enough," Obama told thousands gathered to mourn at the Marine "Our words and our p not enough.

Obama joined military leaders 9) in eulogizing the dozen victims killed in last Monday's shooting, speaking from the parade grounds at the Marine Barracks, a site personally selected by Thomas Jefferson because of its close marching distance to / m the Navy Yard. The memorial service came on the first day of fall, which shone brightly in Washington, with sun sparkling off the instruments being played by the Navy Band and the gold dress uniform buttons worn by so many in the crowd. The invitation-only crowd included around 4,000 mourners, with the victims' tearful, black- clad family members directly in front of the speakers' stage. The president and first lady Michelle Obama met privately with the families before the service, White House officials said. Piersante will take role as DPSS C00 and director of security services By ADAM RUBENFIRE ManagingNews Editor In another step in the con- tinuing reorganization of the University's security agencies, University Police Chief Joe Piersante has been named chief operations officer of the Divi- sion of Public Safety and Secu- rity and director of University Security Services. Piersante will continue in his position until a new chief has been selected. The Spel- man and Johnson Group, a search firm that specializes in higher education, has been hired to assist in the search for a replacement. When Piersante first took the top post, the University's Police force was known as the Department of Public Safety. He first served as interim exec- utive director of public safety in February 2011, when former director Ken Magee went on sick leave. Later that year, he again assumed the role of executive director on an interim basis after former chief Greg O'Dell returned to his previous job as director of public safety and chief of police at Eastern Michi- gan University. O'Dell commit- ted suicide just a month later. For most of the last two years, Piersante has prevailed over a law enforcement orga- nization that has been partly blamed for serious communi- cation issues, and as a result, the agency has gone through immense change, including the formation of the Division of Public Safety and Security to unite Housing Security, Hos- pital Security, and Police under one umbrella organization. As DPSS COO and USS director, Piersante will over- see several different major security initiatives, including infrastructure management, museums security, coordina- tion of safety and security efforts for major events, con- tract security and adminis- tration of the University's 911 Communications Center. In a statement released Fri- day, DPSS executive director Eddie Washington, Jr. praised Piersante's work both as chief and as interim director of DPSS. "I'm very appreciative of the many years of successful service that Joe has made to the uni- versity and to the police depart- ment," Washington said. "When the new division was formed last fall, Joe willingly took on the additional role to lead the transition. I'm grateful that his leadership will continue to ben- efit our community through our campus security efforts." Washington said DPSS has now chosen to appoint a new chief because Piersante's expertise is needed at a strate- gic level. "As the new Division has continued to evolve, we rec- ognized a greater need at the Division level for Joe's exper- tise," Washington said. "To meet the strategic plans and goals of the Division and the Police Department, we needed to expand Joe's role." The job posting notes that a successful candidate for UMPD chief must have a bachelor's degree, leadership experience in law enforcement and, among other things, an understanding of student life. The posting does not detail exactly how much experience a qualified candi- date should have. Spelman and Johnson Group will be compensated one- third of the first year salary of the new UMPD chief, which could range from $150,000 to $160,000, according to officials. Andy Burchfield, the Uni- versity's director of emergency management, will serve as chair of the search commit- tee. In addition, the following people will serve on the com- mittee: " AAPD Deputy Chief Greg Bazick " DPSS executive assistant Lori Blough " Jeffery Frumkin, associate vice provost in academic affairs " Sabrina Garrett-Owens, associate director of labor rela- tions in U-M Human Resources " Bob Heighes, Eastern Michigan University chief of police " UMPD Lt.Crystal James " Dean of Students Laura Blake Jones " LSA junior Emily Lustig, U-M student, chair of the Cen- tral Student Government's Commission of Campus Safety and Security and a neighbor- hood ambassador in the Beyond the Diag program " Tim Lynch, vice president and general counsel " Jeff McDole, IT planning manager for DPSS " Jeff Moelich, executive director of University Audits " David Moran, clinical law professor and member of the University Police Oversight Committee " Teresa Oesterle, chief administrative officer of DPSS " Tom Peterson, associate director for operations and sup- port services in U-M Hospitals and Health Centers " Kate Rychlinski, assistant director of risk management Applications for the position of University Police Chief will be reviewed beginning Oct. 16, 2013. @MICHIGANDAILY a
