4 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, July 3, 2006 HALL Continued from Page 1 Born in Connecticut in 1928, most of Hall's life has been studded with literary figures. Hall attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, where he came in contact with such future legends as Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch and John Ashbery. Hall was a professor at the Univer- sity from 1957 to 1975, where he met his wife of 23 years, Jane Kenyon. He is the author of 15 books of poetry, 14 books of prose and numer- ous children's books. These accomplishments have solid- ified Hall's position as a heavyweight in American literature. The University's Department of Screen Arts and Cultures honored Hall with the creation of the Don- ald Hall Screenwriting Collection, consisting of more than 2,000 DVDs and a significant screenplay library. Hall was also the founding edi- tor of the University Press's "Poets on Poetry," an ongoing collection of articles, commentary and interviews that facilitate a dialogue on poetry. Ofr nn..z Hn'VQlie a n' -' " without hardships. In 1989, Hall was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 61. Despite surgery, the cancer spread to his liver. In the face of very low chances of survival, Hall lived to see the cancer go into remission. But in 1994, his wife Kenyon developed leukemia. She passed away 15 months later. But through personal struggle and tragedy, Hall has resolutely kept to his writing. "Without," published in 1998, brings these events to an emotive breaking point. "Her Long Illness" presents Hall's last days with Kenyon in an abrupt, honest approach, robbing the reader of breath and senses. Hall's early poetry is marked by a sophistication that moves fluidly from academic satire to honest commentary. Comfortable using traditional forms of verse as well as a more open approach, Hall's poetry remains accessible on many levels. His long-lasting dedication to the world of poetry only builds the anticipation of his upcoming tenure. Hall will succeed two-term laureate Ted Kooser.

July 15 the Princeton Review Music school renamed School of Music's 125th year will see an expansion of its name and structure By Katie L. Woods For the Daily After more than a century of oper- ation, the School of Music has taken on a new name to better reflect the full scope of its programs. The school officially changed its name Saturday to the School of Music, Theater and Dance. Dance and theater have been part of the school for years - dance was incor- porated in 1976, and a theater program was later added in 1984 - but many felt it was now time to incorporate both pro- grams into the school's name. COURT Continued from Page 1 The ruling's effects depend on how willing the executive branch will be to refer to the Supreme Court's interpretation of the consti- tution, Caminker said. "I am pleased that the Supreme Court finally issued a ruling that embraced what I think are the cor- rect principles of the separation of powers," Caminker said. Caminker said he thinks both Democratic and Republican presi- dents have been growing more aggressive in terms of the power they think is uniquely theirs. The ruling united the four most liberal justices with moderate Anthony M. Ken- nedy in an opinion that showed the high court would not watch the controversy over the Bush administration's policies from the sidelines. It was a sequel to a ruling two years ago that found the administration did not have a "blank check" to lock up alleged combatants without any legal rights. Again, the court said the Bush administration had gone too far. "The Constitution is best pre- served by reliance on standards test- ed over time and insulated from the pressures of the moment," Kennedy wrote in one opinion. The ruling came on the court's final day before the justices began a three- month break. Court members spent more than half an hour announcing the decision and reading dissents. Chief Justice John Roberts was side- lined in the case because as an appeals court judge he had backed the govern- ment in this case last year. That ruling was overturned Thursday. The other three conservative jus- tices, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, strongly supported the government. "It is not clear where the court derives the authority - or the audacity - to contradict" Congress and the executive branch, Scalia wrote. Thomas, reading a dissent from the bench foronly the second time in his career, said the court's decision would "sorely hamper the president's ability to confront and defeat a new and deadly enemy" "The end of the 2005-2006 year marked the 125th anniversary of the establishment of the school, and we felt that because it was a big mile- stone, now would be a good time to change our name to reflect more of what we do," said Carrie Throm, director of development and external relations for the school. Throm said the new name more accu- rately describes the school to the public. "We felt that it was important to include (theater and dance) because those parts of our school have become very popular and respected nationally." The school's offices have received positive feedback from students, fac- ulty and the community, Throm said. "This recognition creates a family of the performing arts. Everyone is happy with the change," said Greg- ory Poggi, chair of the theater and drama department. The University Board of Regents approved the name change this past March, at the same time the plans for the Arthur Miller Theatre were approved. The new theater is currently under construction and will be located inside the Charles R. Wal- green Jr. Drama Center on North Campus, replacing the Frieze build- ing as the home for performing arts students. The center will also house * classrooms, rehearsal rooms and studios. The school has undergone several name changes in its 125-year history. The last adjustment was made in 1940, 11 years after the school joined the University. The costs in changing the school's title are estimated to be modest, Throm said.
