The University's last campaign, The Michigan Dif- ference, raised $3.2 billion between 2000 and 2008 - surpassing its original goal of $2.5 billion. University President Mary Sue Coleman said last winter that the primary priority for the campaign will be student support through financial aid. At Coleman's leadership breakfast last month, Cole- man reiterated that $1 billion in campaign funds will be focused on student support. Just like the last campaign, Coleman said in an interview after the eventthat passingthe $4-billion mark is possible. "It is always possible that if the campaign is phenom- enally successful, then maybe midway we could raise it," Coleman said. "There's a lot of analysis that goes into doing it, but I feel really good about this number. It's a very audacious campaign." Campaign organizers have made students central to campaign strategy, not only creating goals for student sup- port, but also in involving stu- dents in campaign planning and marketing. The Office of Development created a stu- dent campaign committee - the first of its kind at the University - consisting of 19 members from various under- graduate and graduate schools to assist in the fundraising and planning process. The campaign will also focus on raising funds for developing a more engaged learning environment in the classroom and producingidea See VFM, Page 3A Medical Student murdered in July at Phi Rho Sigma house By PETER SHAHIN Daily News Editor Three people have been arrested in connection with the July murder of Medical School student Paul DeWolf. DeWolf, a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the neck in his room at the Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity on North Ingalls Street on July 24. Police have been investigating the DeWolf case for nearly three months. In a statement, Ann Arbor Police Chief John Seto said the three sus- pects arrested do not have any apparent affiliation with DeWolf, the University or the Air Force. The suspects have not yet been arraigned and police are continuing their inves- tigation and evidence gathering. Police do not believe there are any further suspects. DeWolf was discovered dead in his apartment by a coworker after he failed to report to his shift at the Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Health- care System. According to reports, nothing was stolen from DeWolf's apartment and Ann Arbor Police Lieutenant Robert Pfannes said in July that the apartment was "orderly and valuables appeared to have been untouched." No firearm was found at the scene. The Ann Arbor Police Department was assisted in. their inquiry by the Air Force Office of Special Investi- gations, FBI, the U.S. Marshals Ser- vice and University Police. In the immediate aftermath of the homi- cide, police increased patrols around the North Ingalls area. AAPD also offered a $10,000 reward for anyone with information about the homicide. Pfannes said Thursday the reward was not claimed in the investigation. University President Mary Sue Coleman concurrently issued a statement addressing the arrest and thanking AAPD for their diligence in continuingthe investigation.
