.MESC database tohelp New computer program sorts jobs by area and industry By Dawn Spechier For the Daily A new Michigan Employment Secu- rity Commission database project could make job-hunting easier for graduating students by providing listings of com- panies, broken down by industry, in the Southeast Michigan area. "This project is basically ajob count," said Charles Lake, chief of MESC Cov- ered Employment Statistics and Analy- i15. "If a student called the MESC for information regarding a certain area of employment, let's say retail for example, we could give them a listing of retail businesses' addresses in the southeast area by town." This data could help the student know which areas to start looking for em- ployment in, Lake said. MESC began mapping businesses by town about a year ago. Lake said the MESC plans to have the addresses of all employers in the state of Michi- gan mapped into the data bank through a process called geo-coding by next year. "Geo-coding is a powerful comput- erized mapping process that assigns a geographic identifier to every business location," said John Amberger, the Southeast Michigan Council of Gov- ernments executive director. "MESC is one of the first state employment agen- cies in the country to have geo-coded business locations and will regularly update the information to give our cus- tomers the most current data." SEMCOG, along with MESC and 'the Michigan Department of Transpor- tation, funded the project.

The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 22, 1995 - 7 Investor Zell to teach class in isk-taking' this winter By Jennifer Harvey Daily Staff Reporter A 53-year-old University alum is not only this year's DeRoy seminar profes- sor; he is also the driving force behind a multi-billion dollar empire. Sam Zell was invited to the DeRoy professorship by the University Honors Program, which sponsors the class each year. The class, Honors 493, is a semi- nar in "risk-taking." "He's famous for being extremely forthright. He goes straight to the point and says exactly what he thinks," said Ruth Scodel, Honors Program direc- tor. "For a lot of our students he rep- resents something completely differ- ent." In a recent profile in The Wall Street Journal, Zell was pegged as a classic "vulture" investor. He built his empire, Equity Group Investments Inc., by buy- ing faltering properties and businesses and turning them into profitable ven- tures. The empire includes 24,500 mobile home sites, 57,250 apartments, and 15 million square feet of retail space. New York City's Rockefeller Center is his most recent acquisition, the Journal said. Zell, a native of Chicago, graduated from the University with a bachelor's degree in political science in 1963. He continued at the University, graduating from the Law School in 1966. Scodel said Honors was eagerto have Zell as the DeRoy professor because, "He's a very interesting guy. We want to bring in people who are not tradi- tional academics and give them a chance to have seminars with the students. We want to get people to have real contact with the students." Scodel also said Zell was eager to begin the professorship. "The chance to work with students is a big lure. He was interested in doing something differ- ent." Students may apply totake the course in the Honors Office, beginning Mon- day. Honors students in any field will have priority for the course, but all students may apply. The deadline for priority admittance is Oct. 6. After that, students may be admitted on a space availability basis. The course is offered as one credit for winter term. The class will meet Nov. 14 and 28, Dec. 5, and Jan. 16 and 23 from 3 to 5 p.m. STEPHANIE GRACE LIM/Daily Artist at work World-renowned painter Francolse Gliot teaches a workshop on composition and color yesterday at the School of Art.

Detroit New DETROIT (AP) - A Teamsters of-l fer to reduce the union's contract de-1 mands for striking circulation employ- ees was rejected as inadequate yester- day by Detroit Newspapers negotia- tors. Detroit Newspapers, which handles the business and production operations of The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, wants deeper job cuts than it sought before the strike began July 13. "We have to staff at the level we're distributing," said company negotiator Tim Kelleher. "Thatmeans fewerpeople will come back to work." Teamsters negotiator Frank Kortsch said the union offered to take off the table its earlier proposal to rework the compensation and work rules for dis- trict circulation managers. He said the union also offered to reduce the value of its proposed com- mission increase for drivers who de- spapers rejects liver papers to stores by $7.2 million. progres Kelleher said the Teamsters' commis- Kelle sion offer represented only a $1 million commis cut. from its Kortsch said, "We said to them in copy fo plain English, 'Let's save this commu- for Sun nity the misery it's going through and sions ar let's go back to the proposals we had on cents fo July 12 and hammer out a contract."'

"I would hope that we have shown that we are not trying to dodge a bullet," Wainess said. "I would much rather have the issue over with. But we would find a much better and smoother pro- cess if you wait." The six-person workgroup that has been putting a draft recommendation together plans to have a proposal ready for Hartford's office by Sept. 27. There are no current plans to release the draft to the public. President James J. Duderstadt said 661would hope that we have shown that we are not trying to dodge a bullet."f - Flint Wainess M SA president last week that if the proposed new code is not accepted at the October regents meeting, he would move to implement another university's code here.

Wainess told of increased communi- cations between the assembly and its constituents, and addressed campus safety concerns. "With construction ... sometimes safety concerns can be forgotten," Wainess said. Wainess also requested that the re- gents postpone the board's October deadline to November for voting on the draft of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities that Hartford's office is currently working on. Several assembly members were present at the board's meeting to hear Wainess and Goodstein speak, includ- ing LSA Rep. Andrew Wright. "I'm glad that we're.finally being allowed to speak at the regents' meet- ing," Wright said. However, Wright said he thought that the assembly's of- ficers should have taken a stronger po- sition against the statement, the University's code ofnon-academic con- duct. "I would have liked to see them ad- vocate what I think is the assembly's official position, which is that we don't want a code but we're willing to work within the process," Wright said. Student Rights Commission chair Anne Marie Ellison said, "I think it builds credibility for us to take a strong position on student rights issues, even if the regents don't agree with it." . ST UDENT Continued from Page 1 Goldstein called for his classmates to always treat their patients with compas- sion and not lose touch with their hu- manity. "Don't be afraid to be the one who lends the hand to squeeze or be the comforting voice," Goldstein said in his address. "Let your patient know he/ y she is not alone." Goldstein used his experiences as both doctor and patient as the basis of his book. "Hidden Lessons" is in the early stages of publication by a division of Little, Brown. Judge said Goldstein's book initially started as a MedicalSchool project. As the illness progressed, Goldstein ex- panded the paper into a small book. A fund has been started to supply copies I of "Hidden Lessons" to all third-year medical students. While "Hidden Lessons" is being published as an academic book, Judge expressed hopes that it may eventually be released as a trade book. "Having never been sick, he never Book Fund Donations to the Adam i.

Liberty Suite 300 Ann Arbor,.MI 48104 would have written this book," said Karin Rockind, a family friend. "And now that he's written this book, he'll touch so many more people." Goldstein graduated from Flint Southwestern High School, lettering in soccer, football and baseball, before making the MSU football team as a walk-on. At MSU, Goldstein graduated with highest honors. His talents also carried into other sports and a hobby as an artist. "He made everything seem pretty effortless," Mrs. Goldstein said. "He was such a modest person. I would have to do the bragging for him." Judge described Goldstein as "mild- mannered, pleasant, very friendly. He was just a real neat kid." "Everybody liked him," said Dr. Linda Sherman, a former classmate and close friend. "He was a nice guy you could count on ifyouneeded him. Some- one you could trust, very simple. There was no hidden agenda." Sherman last saw Goldstein two nights before his death. She said he was unable to conduct a conversation, com- municating mainly through nods and motions. During the last week-and-a-half, the Goldsteins moved back to Adam's par- ents' home in Flint. Mrs. Goldstein describes it as "a very incredible week for all of us, because we were able to have closure." On the Wednesday before his death, Goldstein was overcome with a great, sense ofjoy. "He felt a rush of euphoria. He couldn't describe it," Mrs. Goldstein said. He died three days later. The lessons of Adam Goldstein's ill- ness may have been hidden, but the legacy he leaves will likely hold an effect for a long time. U I ~r o NONE PRINTING LOWESTPRICES!
