of little use.
"I already have a checking account at
my own bank," VanSuilichem said.
LSA first-yearstudent Matt Lake has
linkedhis Mcardtohis First ofAmerica
account and says his transactions have
gone smoothly.
'What happened to my
Entr6ee Plus?'
To students, the BankStripe has
been one of the most confusing func-
tions of the card - that stripe on the
old student ID cards was used only for
Entrde Plus, and many returning stu-
dents have asked, "What happened to
my Entr6e Plus?"
Entr6ePlus is still arqund-and also
encodedonthe Mcard's magnetic stripe
- but is only accepted at a select few
on-campus locations, including the U
Club, residence halls, dining halls and
vending machines, and the snack bars.
The BankStripe is accepted at 36
businesses,includingCondoms 101 and
all Amer's locations.
However,the CashChip-the card's
newest function - is accepted at 72
locations. That chip is not linked to any
bank account. Users put money on the
chip at Mcard machines located on cam-
pus.
McDonald's on South University
Avenue is one of the businesses that
accepts the Mcard's Cashchip.
"We're still getting the hang of it,"
said Manager Sonny Felton.
The largest smartcard
program in the country
The CashChip, which Russell calls
the most technologically advanced fea-
ture of the card, is set to be used in
Atlanta on special Olympic
"smartcards," so called because of the
variety of functions the card offers.
By using hand-held chip readers,
delivery staff of local restaurants that
accept the card will be able to scan
users' cards in their homes or dorms.
The University touts the Mcard as the
largest smartcard program in the coun-
try. The card serves as a library card,
AT&T phone card, First of America
ATM card, Entree Plus card, student ID
card, copy card and will soon serve as a
bus token chip card on Ann Arbor Tran-
sit Authority buses.
The "Mcard Bus," sponsored by
the University, AT&T, First of
America and AATA, is the largest
advertisement for the program. Mcard
has also been publicized through ban-
ners on State Street and South Uni-
versity Avenue.
Russell estimated that $80,000 to
$90,000 was spent on the Mcard adver-
tising campaign, which also included
fliers and information packets distrib-
uted to students, along with frisbees
and T-shirts distributed in the Fish-
bowl.
"We wanted the merchants to know
that the University is really into this
program and promote a good working
relationship with the business commu-
nity," Russell said.
The cost of each card to the Univer-
sity is $5- almost $3 more than the old
student ID cards - but the cost to
replace a lost card will still be $10.
Russell said most of the card's cost
comes from the CashChip.
However, with revenues from the
card - which the University will not
disclose - the program should more
than pay for itself, Russell said.

dents can e-mail mcard@umich.edu or

Whatever the flaws in the disciplin-
ary procedure the University used to
expel Marc Schauber from his resi-
dence hail last year, the University acted
correctly in punishing the sophomore,
Judge Kurtis Wilder ruled in April.
Wilder acknowledged that the pro-
cess "may not have been perfect," but
concluded that threats Schauber made
to his ex-fiancee - a resident of the
same dormitory - warranted the
University's action.
Schauber was expelled from the
Mosher Jordan residence hall in March
1994, following a series of contacts he
initiated with his former fiancee that she
deemed threatening. In one conversa-
tion, Schauber told the woman that he
thought of hitting her and throwing her
offofabridge in front of moving traffic.
The woman charged Schauber with
stalking and harassment in a disciplin-
ary action through the Housing Divi-
sion. She was initially represented by
Monique Washington, who also acted
as the University's hearing officer in
the case. Schauber's lawyer, Tom
Daniels of Ypsilanti, argued that Wash-
ington was clearly prejudiced in favor
oftheex-fiancee. That bias was strength-
ened by Washington's contacts with
the woman's parents, Daniels claimed.
Washington contended that herphone
conversations with the parents -some
as long as 47 minutes -- were intended
to explain procedural issues related to
the disciplinary hearing.
"... I was trying to bring a reasonable
amount of distance between the two of
us," she said of the woman'smother, "but
at the same time respond to what I felt was
a parental concern as an administrator."
But in court, Washington conceded
that she had discussed other issues with
the woman's parents, including
Schauber's mental state and his pos-
sible use of the psychiatric drug Prozac.
Wilder rebuked Washington for dis-
cussing Prozac with the woman's par-
ents, but concluded that that informa-
tion alone did not tilt the University's
case against Schauber.
"In the present case (and in the fu-
Jan. 17, 1994
Marc Schauber is told in a meeting with
Mosher Jordan Resident Director Paul
Danao that his ex-fiancee is not
comfortable in Schauber's presence. -
Danao suggested a meeting with the three
parties and would call back Schauber.
Schauber called Danao repeatedly and
was told that he was woring on it.
Jan. 24,1994
Schauber met with Ellen H. Whitten, the
coordinator of residence education, and
was shown the incident report and the
complaint form that they discussed.
Jan. 25,1994
Whitten sent letter to Schauber saying
he was on residence hail probation.
He left a message on the answering
machine of Darlene Ray Johnson,
assistant director of student relations,
asking her to call him back.
Jan. 31, 1994
Schauber met with Whitten about her
actions which she apologized for 'not
following proper procedure and for
taking a one-sided view of the matter."
Schauber was asked to sign the incident
report, complaint form and judicial
record, but'he deferred and wanted a
copy of each of them because he
wanted to consult on them.
Feb. 7,1994
Schauber was called by Monique
Washington, assistant director of
residence education. She told him of the
harassment complaint and eventually
scheduled a hearing on Feb. 15 after
telling Schauber that his ex-fianc e was
-hesitant" about being at the hearing.
Feb.11,1994
A letter was received by Schauber"
stating that Washington would serve a
both "hearing officer" and the
"complainant" at the hearing.
Schauber's lawyer also requested a
copy of the complaint but Washington
was "unsure if this could be done."
Feb. 15,1994
Minutes before the hearng Scheuber
was iven a copy of the incident repots
and e judicial record. There was no
complaint, but Schauber was told that
the incident record would serve as the
complaint. Schauber wanted to get the
hearin over with and therefore waived
the rgt to postpone the hearing.
Washgton told Schauber the woman
would receive the final declsion only and
not Information about the sanction.
March 3.,1994 thsacon
Schauber finds out that his ex4iancft
received the decision, including the
sanction information.. two days before
he did. The decision was that Schauter
was to acate his room by March 7.
Schauber made sure that he would not
be physically removed on March 7 and
"confirmed his absolute right to remain
in his room while an appeal was fied
and decided." He also signed a leaset
for a room for '94-95 school year which
was voided by he Housin
The initial appeal was officially si
and dated and received by Schaur..b
He was told to vacate his room no later
than March 16. Again he had to confirm
that he would not be physically removed
because of the appeal was pending.

ture), it may have been advisable for
Ms. Washington to have kept notes and
disclosed to (Schauber) during the hear-
ing all of the ex parte information she
learned from others, so that (Schauber)l
could respond to the same," Wilder
wrote in the court's opinion. "Since the
findings and sanctions in this case are+
supported by the evidence presented
during the hearing, however, these ad-
ditional safeguards would have added
very little, if any, protection against
error," he wrote.
Daniels disagreed. "The ultimate deci-
sion was Monique Washington's. It is our
position that she was clearly influenced
by this exparte communication," he said.
On March 9, Schauber filed an ap-
peal to Washington's Feb. 25 decision
to expel him from Mosher Jordan. Later
that month, Schauber's appeal was de-a
nied by an appellate hearing officer
who called Washington's decision "an
adequate balance between allowing
(Schauber) to remain in the residence
halls and lease termination."
His final appeal alsowasstruck down.
Schauber then filed suit in Washtenaw
County Circuit Court.
Under sanctions in effect until lay
1996, Schauber cannot enter Mosher Jor-
dan without prior University approval.
He also is barred from contacting the
woman.
Daniels expressed disappointment
with Wilder's ruling, but said it was not
unexpected. The lawyer said he would
not appeal the decision.
Schauber "has made other living ar-
rangements," Daniels said. "Because
of the lapse of time, we decided that an
appeal would not be worthwhile."
