'U' eaes neW chnCcellor By Ronnie Glassberg DAILY NEWS EDITOR. 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 See RAPIST, Page 2 By Ronnie Glassberg DAILY NEWS EDITOR 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 See NELms, Page 2 Campbell denied WSU spot By Andrew Taylor DAILY STAFF REPORTER 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 See CAMPBELL, Page 2
