Joseph White will finish his second five-year term and plans to work with Dolan in the transi- tion. "I am extremely pleased and excit- ed about Bob Dolan's accepting the appointment as our next dean," White said "I am confident he will provide us excellent leadership and take the School to the next level of achievement,"he said in a statement. White opted not to seek a third term at the helm of the Business School, choos- ing to take a leave of absence and then return as a regular member ofthe faculty. Dolan, a specialist in product pricing and policy, will be in Barcelona, Spain, on a visiting professorship until the end of June. He would have served Harvard Business School's Division of Research as senior associate dean and director beginning this summer. Dolan has taught at Harvard since 1980. At Har- vard, he was the chair of the MBA pro- gram faculty from 1996-97, taught marketing to senior executives in Har- vard's Advanced Management Program from 1990-95 and chaired Harvard's marketing area from 1986-94. Dolan taught at the University of Chicago's business school from 1976-80. TRIAL Continued from Page 1 causing public alarm.... Contrary to the circuit court's reasoning whether police officers are members of the public for purposes of the statute is not the critical inquiry here," they wrote. Miranda Massie, the attorney for the six defendants whose charges were reinstated, promised an appeal of the court's decision and said the results of other cases related to the protest are indicative of the weak- ness of the case against the defendants. During the rally, police arrested 19 demonstrators. 15th District Judge Ann Mattson dropped the charges against nine people who were charged with malicious destruction of property. Ten others were charged with rioting. Two were acquitted by juries and another defendant's felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. "Our record involved in all the cases in this witch hunt makes me very optimistic that if we have to try the cases, we will win," Massie said. "There was no riot on May 9, 1998. The community members in two separate juries have already spoken and said there was no riot." Massie said the gathering was nonvio- lent and did not cause public alarm and that minimal damage was sustained. "If you are going to call a handful of broken windows a riot, then there are quite a few riots taking place," she said. Massie added that she did not think the Court of Appeals' decision to pro- ceed with the case will be a popular decision. "If they were to win, it would be an extremely negative development for the people of Ann Arbor," she said. The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office was unavailable for connent.

The University had the option of either consenting to an election or argu- ing against the motion. Officials stuck with the latter option, stating the drivers have not properly defined the communi- ty of interest they are organizing behind. Communities of interest should encompass all jobs that are similar in pay, hours and working conditions. The question with the student bus drivers' community is whether it is neglecting to include similar University jobs, Universi- ty spokeswoman Julie Peterson said in statement. "It is because of our interest in mair taining productive and fruitful bargainin relationships that [the University]g raised the issue that the organization o only a small fragment ofa much large group of employees is not appropriate, she said. deLeon cautioned against making th definition too broad. "A community o interest should not be defined by virts of the fact that we're all students rathe than the status [of the employee], th kinds of work, the levels of certifica and the different pay scales should taken into account," he said. MERC is expected to reach a decisio about the conflicting definitions of community of interest after an officia hearing set for the second week of June. TELNET Continued from Page 2. "Some people know how to use Zypher, some people don't," said Sandy Colombo, director of operations for the University computing environment. "Some alternatives are being explored. We would like to discuss this with vari- ous constituencies on campus." The problem of privacy arouse when issues of stalking by use of the finger- ing system were reported to ITCS. "The original computer networking infrastructure was created openly" said Kim Cobb, director of communications for ITCS. "The few researchers using the system trusted each other. Privacy issues are raising more and more. As a society, we need to deal with these issues." Many people have expressed concern about the fingering system and the amount of information it allows others to obtain. "Usually it's an ex-boyfriend stalking a female," Meyer said. "People don't usu- ally take any legal action. That's part of the problem is that they don't want to be stalked, but won't press legal charges" Situations reported, which according to Colombo are often in the form of e- mails, are then turned over to ITCS or the Department of Public Safety. Although ITCS maintains that thea incidents occur, DPS said it did no know of such incidents. "We haven't had any reports wher people have logged in to a comput and then physically got there to f someone else," said DPS spokeswoman Diane Brown. Since all logins, as well as fingeri incidents, are recorded in logs adminis tered by the University, the informatio can be found for use as evidence i these cases. "It's not currently monitored on a real time basis, but when the information i needed, you can get it," Meyer said. However, since the individual bein fingered is unaware, there have bee complaints as to why the system has no been terminated sooner, or made les intrusive. "You'd have to ask a question why would some want that information, who is not a system administrator, to find o where they are," Colombo said. "When would that be a legitimate situation for them to know without people's knowl- edge." The fingering system will remain turned on - without indicating con- sole locations - until either another system is devised, or it is deemed a sufficient solution to the privacy problem.
