English Dept. unveils new
Fifty years ago this week Twenty-five years ago this
(Oct. 20,1963): week (Oct.25,1988):
The University English
Department began its use of a
new format for English classes,
dividing the semester into two-
week units. Each unit .would
begin with a lecture discussing
an idea in regard to a previously
assigned essay.
Additionally, the semester
included five writing confer-
ences so students could receive
one-on-one assistance from
instructors.
The format intended to help
transition teaching fellows into
the course and provide students
with more experienced instruc-
tors.
The student group Sa'lam
Shalom, an Arab-Jewish peace
project, held its first meeting to
discuss conflict in the Middle
East.
The students expressed
appreciation for the opportu-
nity to discuss both sides of the
conflict in the Middle East with
students with different opin-
ions.
Ten years ago this week
(Oct. 24,2003):
Construction began on a new
addition to the School of Public
Health. The addition replaced
class format
a wing of the Henry F. Vaughan
Building and added new class-
rooms, conference rooms and
research space.
The addition also included
construction of the School of
Public Health connector bridge
across Washington Heights
Street.
At the ground-breaking
event, University President
Mary Sue Coleman emphasized
the innovative research and
achievements by the School of
Public Health.
Construction was completed
in 2006.

Regents will hold January
meeting in New York
Athletic Dept. outlines
plans for South Campus
Board will hold
'strategic planning
session' in place of
normal meeting
By PETER SHAHIN,
JENNIFER CALFAS and SAM
GRINGLAS
Daily NewsEditor and
Daily StaffReporters
FLINT, Mich. - Rewgent
Andrea Fischer Newman (R)
announced at Friday's Board of
Regents meeting that the govern-
ing board will travel to New York
City for a "strategic planning ses-
sion" in place of their January
2014 meeting.
While in the Big Apple, the
regents will discuss the impor-
tance of university medical
centers with a host of higher
education leaders, including
Princeton University presi-
dent Christopher Eisgruber and
Yale University president Peter
Salovey, as well as former admin-
istrators from Johns Hopkins
University and Emory University.
Last January, the regents
attended sessions in California
to discuss the challenges facing
higher education with Robert
Birgeneau, recently retired chan-
cellor of the University of Califor-
nia, Berkeley; Stanford University
President John Hennessy; Robert
Berdahl, former president of the
Association of American Univer-
sities; and Dan Russell, one of
Google's top research scientists.
California is the most well-rep-
resented state at the University
besides Michigan, with 2,282
Californians enrolled in classes,
according to enrollment data
released Wednesday.
The second largest body of
non-resident students hails from
New York, with 2,102 students
calling the state home. The state
is also home to a large number of
*uzaciuu
alumni.
With the trip scheduled a few
months after the capital cam-
paign launch on Nov. 8, Newman
also said the University plans to
meet with donors and alumni
during their excursion. Universi-
ty alum Stephen Ross, chair of the
upcoming Victors for Michigan
campaign and a resident of New
York city, will also host a develop-
ment-focused event.
Jerry May, vice president for
development, attended last Janu-
ary's California trip along with
two University gift officers sta-
tioned in California. May did not
attend the Board's seminars and
meetings, but focused on con-
necting the regents with alumni
and. potential donors at two
events.
In January, University spokes-
man Rick Fitzgerald said the west
coast trip provided an opportuni-
ty to reach outto donors in a state
heavily populated with Univer-
sity alumni.
"This presents an opportunity.
to reach out to people who care
about the University and want
this institution to thrive well into
our third century," Fitzgerald
said last year.
In an e-mail interview before
the California trip, Regent Denise
Ilitch (D) expressed interest in
holding similar meetings in the
future.
"I look forward to more meet-
ings that allow us to learn,
exchange ideas and promote the
virtues of the University of Mich-
igan," Ilitch wrote. "It is vitally
important to be an 'ambassador'
of our great institution."

Fundraising
effort to focus
on all 16 projects
simultaneously
By ALICIA ADAMCZYK
Daily News Editor
At the second annual Michi-
gan Sports Business Conference
held Friday at the Ross School
of Business, Athletic Direc-
tor Dave Brandon and other
Athletic Department admin-
istrators explained upcoming
renovations to the University's
athletic campus and delved into
fundraising plans for the 16
improvement projects.
The projects, which Brandon
said will "touch every single
one of our student-athletes,"
were broken down into regions.
As reported previously, in the
northern area, which encom-
passes the traditional athletic
campus from Crisler Arena and
Michigan Stadium to Schem-
bechler Hall on State Street,
about 400,000 square feet of
new space will be constructed,
at an estimated price of $140
million in construction costs.
These estimates do not
include the planning costs,
which include architecture
fees, and are expected to add
about 30 to 40 percent to total
expenses.
The southern region, which
currently houses the tennis
facilities and women's gym-
nastics program, will add
roughly 308,000 square feet
of new space, at a cost of about
$120 million. The University's
golf course connects the two
regions and will also undergo
renovations.
Projects also include the con-
struction of a field hockey team
center and stadium, a multi-
purpose team center and new
administrative offices. The Ste-
phen Ross Academic Center will
be expanded,. Schembechler
Hall will be reconstructed and
new training facilities will be
built.
A new soccer and rowing
team center will be built in the
south, along with a lacrosse sta-
dium, training center and an
outdoor track.
Brandon said the Athletic
Department wanted to improve
conditions for all of Michigan's
31 programs to encourage even
better recruits to commit to
Michigan, even in less lucrative
sports. The department is hop-
ing to create a consistent expe-
rience among all programs.
"The question that all of
them ask themselves is, 'What
is the commitment level this
institution has for my sport,' "
Brandon said. "Their sport, in
their mind, is the most impor-
tant sport."
Brandon, while noting that
each Michigan football game
generates an estimated $14 mil-.
lion in economic benefit to the
region, stressed the importance
of the financial opportunity of
an enhanced athletic campus.
In order to hold conference
tournaments and champion-
ship events, there are standards
the facilities of each sport must
live up to, he said.
"We have an exciting oppor-
tunity to be a destination venue
that can bring excitement,
attention and dollars to this
community," he said. "We want
to have the types of facilities
that afford us the opportunity
to host those championships."
Chrissi Rawak, Michigan's
senior associate athletic direc-
tor for development, said the
fundraising for the new build-
ings is unique as compared to
projects at other universities
because instead of fundraising
for each individual project, the
money will be raised for all 16
projects at once.
"We're buying into one
.vision," Rawak said, referenc-
ing former Michigan football
coach Bo Schembechler's clas-
sic "the team, the team, the
team" mentality.
Though all donations will be
collected in one pot, the indi-
vidual donor's name will go to
the program he or she is pas-
sionate about. Rawak pointed to
University alum Stephen Ross,
who donated a historic $100
million for the campus, as evi-
dence that fundraising is going
well. The University's Board of
Regents approved naming the
new campus the Stephen M.
Ross Athletic Campus at Fri-
day's Board of Regents meeting
at the University's Flint cam-
pus.
Plans for the projects began
three years ago, and Rawak
estimates they will be com-
pleted in the next five to seven
years.
The first project, construc-
tion of new softball facilities,
will be completed in December.
Constructionof the field hockey
stadium willbegin immediately
following the completion of its
season next month, according
to Rob Rademacher, associate
athletic director for facilities.
Rawak said the Athletic
Department will put aside
$250,000 a year to proactively
address the increased opera-
tion costs that will result from
the addition ofnew buildings.
Contrary to rumors, student-
athletes will not live in separate
athletic dorms, but will remain
integrated in dorms on campus.
Brandon also addressed trans-
portation issues, saying the
department is working on inte-
grating plans for future trans-
portation services and solving
problems with parking.
