A serial rapist living in the city was
responsible for a Saturday murder of
a Undergraduate Admissions Office
employee and three earlier rapes, Ann
Arbor Police Department detectives
believe.
AAPD Detective Sgt. Tom
Caldwell said itis believed 32-year-old
ChristineGailbreathdiedinstantly from
one blow of a fist to her head.
The incident is similar to three ear-
lier rapes, which have been linked to
the same person through DNA testing
at the Michigan State Police Crime
Laboratory in Northville. The first
case dates to Sept. 28, 1992.
Besides the four cases, Caldwell
said there may be four or five other
attemptedrapes by the same individual.
In all of the four attacks, police
believe the suspect has used his fist to
knock the victims unconscious.
Caldwell said Gailbreath had suf-
fered head injuries in a car accident
seven years ago, which may have made
the blow fatal.
Evidence from Saturday's incident
has been sent to the Michigan Police
Crime Laboratory for comparison. Po-
lice believe Gailbreath was sexually
assaulted, but will not be certain until
test results are obtained.
AAPD detectives said the suspect
probably lives in Ann Arbor and de-
scribed him as a loner. "We're giving
warnings to the community that this
individual is still in town," said AAPD
Chief Douglas Smith. "We're giving
a message to the women in this com-
munity to be careful."
Caldwell said the suspect is very
bold. "My assumption is that whatever
sets him off, he's going to attack the
first women. He doesn't care if he kills
his victims," Caldwell said.
Saturday's attack took place in the
afternoon in the 2100 block of West
Stadium, off of the south side of the
Farmer Jack parking lot.
She was last seen at 1 p.m. at Arbor
Drugs. Gailbreath was attacked in a

Sandra Lingley said she started to
work at Indiana University East in
*chmond, Ind., to serve with Chan-
cellor Charlie Nelms.
Faculty at the University's Flint
campus will soon have that same op-
portunity.
Pending approval of the University
BoardofRegentsnextThursday,Nelms
will become chancellor at U-M Flint.
Nelms will succeed Clinton Jones
as U-M Flint chancellor, who is re-
.ning to teaching political science
at the Flint campus. Mathematics Prof.
Lawrence Kugler now serves as in-
terim chancellor.
Lingley said she had been recruited
to work at IU-East before, but turned it
down.
She said she accepted her position
as vice chancellor of external relations
and development because she wanted
to work with Nelms.
"When he has an objective that he
wants to reach, he's got to reach it,"
Lingley said. "We're losing a won-
derful person here. He's very much a
university leader and he's generated a
lot of programs that wouldn't have
happened."
Nelms has served as chancellor
and professor of education at IU-East
since 1987. With about 2,600 stu-
dents, IU-East is one of eight cam-
puses in the Indiana University sys-
tem.
"It's a natural progression in my
career in the sense that it's a commu-
nity-based institution,"Nelms said in a
phone interview yesterday from his
Indiana office.
During his tenure as LU-East chan-
cellor, Nelms worked to increase fac-
ulty salaries and time for professional
development. "Faculty members must
have time to engage in scholarship,"
Nelms said.
Nelms said there are differences
between commuter colleges - like
U-M Flint and IU-East - and resi-
dential colleges.
"The big difference is people who
attend commuter institutions tend to
balance going to work and going to

Lesson in communication - keep your mouth shut!
Assistant Prof. Richard Campbell said he thinks that is
what his situation has shown.
Wayne State University offered Campbell a job, but
withdrew it last week. Campbell said it is because he did
not keep quiet about the turmoil within the University's
department of communication.'x
"When you get denied tenure, you're supposed to Campbell
respect the decision of the university. You're supposed to
walk away," Campbell said. "It's very, very mysterious," he said, noting that
