The vote fol- lowed almost a year of efforts on the part of the University's 3,200 clerical workers to form a union. "I'm very happy and not really surprised," clerical organizer Pam O'Connor said after the vote. The vote was 1,144 in favor to 920 not in favor. Following the announcement, Hubert Emer- ick, the UAW's associate national director for technical, office and professional staff, said the newly formed union would be called the Concerned Clericals for Action. Thirty years ago this week (Nov.9,1984) Nancy Aronoff, a student representative on the Univer- sity's Classified Research Review Panel, raised objections over a proposal from two electrical and computer engineering professors in conjunction with researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanic Insti- tute in Massachusetts. The proposal, submitted for funding to the National Science Foundation, called for research that would help improve the U.S. Navy's anti-submarine capabili- ties, according to Aronoff, which would violate the classified research rules of the University.

CAMPUS EVENTS & NOTES Building Our Material Future Conversations Nine years ago this week (Nov. 3,2005) Students and faculty from the University of Michigan-Dearborn expressed concern regarding the cuts of more than 36 classes, pri- marily in the College of Arts, Sci- ences and Letters.. The cuts, which occurred due to budget shortfalls of at least $300,000 according to CASL Dean Katie Anderson-Levitt, were announced after course guides had already been printed and distributed. Cuts were also projected to occur in other schools on the Dearborn campus, namely the School of Management. - SHOHAM GEVA T HR EE T HINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TODAY The Obama administra- tion is preparing for pos- sible GOP control of both the House and Senate, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Curabitur sit amet LEVITT From Page 1A something or to break something off - almost for sure you should quit. There's not nearly enough quitting in society. There's way too much perseverance, there's waytoo much sticking with stuff. I've read alot about howyou're not really into economic indi- cators, the stock market and those sorts of things despite being an economics profes- sor at Chicago. You prefer to observe the world around you. So, what advice would you have for undergraduates and graduates who are going through school and the diffi- culties and drudgework that school involves? How could they maintain their creative spirit? That is a great question and a hard question. Success in school is not closely tied to creativity. I can speak for myself that I made it through an undergrad at Har- vard notthinking once. I was just an incredibly good memorizer and absorber of information and so I could get A's without hav- ing to think at all. It wasn't until I got into the real world that I realized that anyone asked me to think. There's this tension between simply memorizing and regurgitating to do well in school and actually exploring ideas and being excited and following tan- gents. In the end as I look back on my own life and the people around me, I think the people who did what they loved and who were less worried about exactly their GPA and more worried- about what they had passions for, I think those people turned out to be more happy in life. ... If I could go back and talk to my stu- dent self I would say "care a little less and explore a little more." A lot of your findings have been met with controversy, such as the theory that legal- ized abortion reduces crime. How can students deal with controversy when they gradu- ate? One of my mentors was Gary Becker, who was a famous economist who is a Nobel Prize winner who did a lot of contro- versial work who just died last year..And one time when I was being criticized a lot - I've been criticized for a lot of things so I don't remember the particular case - he sat me down and he said, "so how do you like being criticized?" and we talked about what was going on, I told him about the criticisms. And he said something which I think is really true. He said, "It's no fun being criticized, but it's even worse to be ignored." He said, "The thing that really drove me crazy is when people ignored what I did." So if you think you're right, or even better, you know you're right, then it's not so hard to take the criticism. If you figure you're wrong and it turns out you're wrong, I think it's incredibly important to admit that you're wrong, and to go fighta different battle. But there's nothing worse than trying to protect a pub- lic image that is not warranted, because you just don't want to be embarrassed. There were a couple times where I've just plain been wrong and I admitted I was wrong and I'm glad I did and that worked out well. But I think it's even what you're saying is less an issue for academics. Because part of academics is the acceptance of a wide variety of ideas, what you're saying really, really binds is in the workplace because firms and organizations are very socialentities. And there arevery strong norms and it's very hard to go against the grain in a firm, it's very hard to rock the boat in a firm. There's not the challenge that there is in academics. That's where the really hard issues come up. Your beginning and most famous research concerned crime. But, with your role at Chicago, as a consultant and your current book focusing on advice,it seems that that focus was diminished. How do you ensure that that passion is still part of your daily work? What I love to do more than anything is get a big pile of data and a computer and me and the computer and the data and just understand it. Don't know why but for just the weirdness that I have is that I love to do that. And the sad thing is that I almost never get to do that anymore and it really is a loss and a sign that I did something wrong that now I end up doing things that I can't delegate. ... It's really a waste in the sense that I get to do a lot of things that for many people would *be really fun, but they're not that much fun for me. The things that I don't get to do are the things that aren't so much fun for other people. So I don't know, maybe someday, ifI'mtrue to my own advice pretty soon I'll go back to my roots and I'll spend a lot more time in front of a com- puter and a lot less time talking to nice people like you. OBAMA From Page 1A about two different visions of what America is about." In remarks before the presi- dent spoke, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) called Tuesday's elec- tion a "great equalizer" for people across the state, in reference to the large amounts of money that have been poured into several state- wide campaigns. Across the two mosthigh-profile races inthe state - those for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and the governor's seat - it has been projected/ that close to $90 million. In the U.S. Senate race, U.S. Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) is polling an average of 12.4 points ahead of his opponent, Terri Lynn Land, the former Michigan Secretary of State. Peters' Democratic counter- part in the race for governor, Mark Schauer, faces a tighter race and is currently within several points of his opponent, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, making the get-out- the-vote effort especially signifi- cant for Democrats. "What happens on Tuesday is that it doesn't matter who we are, and it doesn't matter how much money we've got in our pocket, a See OBAMA, Page 3A
