2 -The Michigan Daily --Wednesday, June 14, 1995 MARLETITA Continued from page 2 "Mike is one of our most exciting and creative faculty members," University President James J. Duderstadt said in a pressrelease. "Beyond his immense con- tributions as a scholar, healso has been ex- ceptionally dedicated in serving the Uni- versity ina wide array of roles -ranging from serving as chair of the Pharmacy dean's search committee to playing a star- ring role in Campaign for Michigan events." Marletta has appointments in both bio- chemistry and medicinal chemistry, which he said he will continue to fulfill. "I want to continue to pursue work re- lated with nitric oxide, which is even more risky and more difficult to fund," Marletta said. " I told my students, let's think ahead l years from now and we'd be involved in equally exciting projects;' Marietta said. Students bike for ecological By Marisa Ma Daily Staff Reporter Joining about 19 other students leav- ing from Seattle, Kinesiology graduate Catherine Simonsen will finally fulfill her dream of 11 years - to bicycle across the United States. Simonsen willjoin University student Susan Holmes in Bike-Aid, an annual cross-country trek to raise funds for envi- ronmental projects and to heighten aware- ness of environmentally friendly altema- tives in agriculture, technology, transpor- tation and consumption. "We read up on issues, so we can present our ideas and solutions to environ- mental problems, and also they share with us with what they're doing in their commu- nities said Holmes, an LSA and SNRE sophomore andco-facilitator on the Austin, I'm doing this, because I'm expecting it to be a life-altering event." - Catherine Simonsen Kinesiology graduate Texas route. Simonsen, an avid cyclist, was at- tracted to the service aspect of the project. "Doing a service project was kind of appealing to me," she said. "I kind of like doing (cross-country cy- cling) with a cause." Robin Pugh, outreach coordinator of Bike-Aid, stressed the universality of the cause. "We're not just interested in talking about environmental problems in our own yard," Pugh said. "But we want to make global links and meaning, that we want to talk to people about what they do here affects the environment in Africa, Asia or Latin America." issues Bike-Aid cyclists along their route will stay with families, local churches and organizations, and interact with th communities about the environments issues in educational presentations. "I makes (them) think because of the nov elty of it," Simonsen said. Simonsen said that she looks forwart to meeting and living with strangers "I'm doing this, because I'm expecting ii to be a life-altering event. I will be gel ting to know the other riders, and why they're doing it," Simonsen said. "If can change other people's minds, ant interact with other subcultures from smal to large communities in our country, wha their beliefs are, what they know about tha environment." Participants will be bicycling fron June 17 to Aug. 21 and the total distance the cyclists will cover ranges from 1,000 to 3,600 miles. The participants' goal is to raise $1 fol each mile they pedal. Last year, Bike-Air cyclists raised $150,000 that went to de- velopment projects in AIDS awareness. Simonsen said she agrees with Pugh. "Just showing initiative, just the whole idea of planting an idea, that we can do something collectively, as a global com- munity," she said. Approximately 50 cyclists will leave from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Austin, or Montreal and converge in Washington by Aug. 21 to meet with poli- ticians and representatives from national and international organizations. Overseas Development Network, who sponsored Bike-Aid, is a national, student-based organization that focuses on local mobilization in global causes. Bike-Aid was founded by students from Stanford University in 1985.

Wainess said that the opportunity to participate in regents meetings will place a greater emphasis on student concerns. He cited the bi-annual presentation to the board as an important means of commu- nication. "We'll be keeping pressure on issues instead of fighting for them once a year," Wainess said. 'This would give us more impact and a greater voice in the devel- opment of the new non-acadenic code of conduct." Regent Andrea Fischer Newman (R- Ann Arbor) said she strongly supports the proposal for a student representative and that the draft will likely be passed by the regents. "I think it's got the votes. The draft that I have seen has got my support," Newman said. "The one thing I wanted was the opportunity to have a student to talk to during the meetings." But Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) said he does not think the new proposal will be adopted. "I've never been supportive of a stu- dent regent. There are many constituents who have an interest that's legitimate, and if we grant one then I'm sure we'll be asked to grant others," Biker said. I don't think it'll happen. I know there w be a discussion, butI don't think it will happen." When Wainess was elected to MSA president last March he picked up the battle for a student representation from former President Julie Neenan. Wainess' proposal, however, has dropped Neenan's demand fora student to have a seat at the regents' table. "Logistically, the table is over- crowded," Wainess said. "(In the curre proposal) we would be in a seat whey it's clearly delineated that we're there for discussion and not as some random per- son." Newman said that she expected a proposal to eventually be passed. "It was a matter ofjust getting people motivated. I would hope it's passed this week," she said. 1 ' " 1 Kaplan helps you focus your test prep study where you need it most.
