The funds were considered misused because Connors had allegedly charged the expenses twice - once to the University and again to outside organiza- tions. A. B. Hicks, director of Univer- sity Audits, refused to comment on the case beyond telling The Michigan Daily that he'd rath- er not explain the University's auditing policy at that time. In a written statement, Con- nors said his actions represented a serious mistake in judgment, and that he planned to fully repay the University once the exact total of misused funds was deter- mined. 30years ago (April 10, 1984) A series of arson incidents in South Quad continued, marking the fifth fire in less than a month. Resident Adviser Eve Skirboll told her residents at a special house meeting that they need to start moving faster in response, even if they think it isn't serious. "I'm one of the last ones out of this building and I don't want to burn," Skirboll said. "So when that fire alarm sounds I want you moving." 10years ago (April 8,2004) A large number of graduate student instructors cancelled their classes in solidarity with protesting members of the Lec- turers' Employees Organization. LEO's protest was focused on certain demands they wanted the University to meet during their ongoing contract negotiations, such as a revision of their health benefits package and measures to increase job security. GSI Leanne Powner, who can- celled her office hours, said she supported the strike because the issues LEO members were fac- ing could affect her in the near future. - SHOHAM GE VA Newsroom 734-410-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Settion arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaiy.com Lettersnto the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinioneicigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com Kinesiology freshman Katie Baur chats with her date Christine Lise, an Engineering alum, at the Annual Pride Prom at the Michigan League.
