The UM Med School's Department of Medicine has been without a chief since 1977. It is still without a chief, but now 70 faculty members are demanding Dean Emmanuel Papper’s resignation because he rejected their choice for the department head
A search committee has been looking for a new department head for 16 months - since Dr William Harrington resigned On Feb 16, the committee recommended Dr Donald Darkness, chief of hematology at the Veterans Administration Hospital and a medical school faculty member
According to a Miami Herald article. Darkness spent three weeks determining Ins objectives for the Department nf Medicine und his
choices for lieutenants He presented them to Papper two weeks ago and was rejected
"I felt his perceptions of the issues and needs of the school were insufficient to qualify him." Papper said.
Harkness felt that it would be “inappropriate for him to comment.”
The committee said that Papper "insulted them" by refusing their recommendation
The Dean is believed to want an outsider for the position. Hut the committee has not been able to find one: two professors from other nted schools have refused the post.
Papper has been the Dean of the Med School since 1969. This is the second time that the faculty has strongly disagreed with him
"I think this was immature, irrational. greatly overactive, and deeply improper." Papper said in the Herald article, referring to the faculty's demand that he resign

Two students have been suspended from the University for writing wort Mess checks
One student wrote three worthless checks totaling $4,576.56. This amount included payment of Ins tuition and housing in addition to a friend's tuition
This student pled guilty to the charges and was suspended for one semester He will be prohibited from re-registering until his delinquent bills are paid in full

This student was also suspended and prohibited from re-enrollment until all his financial obligations were cleared
Recently, the Bursar. Paul Costello, has been forwarding all worthless check cases over to the Student Personnel Dean’s office for disciplinary action
There have been 130 cases of check fraud in the last three months ranging in amount from $5 to
$3.000
In worthless check cases, the Bursar sends two notices for each check, two weeks apart, to the student. Two weeks after the second notice, the case is referred for disciplinary action
An informal hearing notice is sent and an investigation of the circumstances takes place.
A student's check cashing privileges can be revoked in such cases by the Bursar's office. Also, based on previous offenses involving tuition payments, the Bursar can demand that future payments be bv cash, cashier’s check or money order.
A STOP is also placed on the student's records, which prevents reregistration. release of transcripts or issuance of diploma until payment of outstanding debts is made

When one artist. Helmut Goral. candle craftsman from Cedar. Michigan, was asked why he traveled so far to participate, he replied, "I applied to three shows in the area, and I got accepted to all three. I'm just lucky I guess. Most of the major shows schedule so that it forms a kind of circuit. You see a lot of the same people at each one."
Works displayed ranged from the colorful batik designs of Paula Mae Green (Ft. 1 auderdalr) to the beautiful handmade Appalachian dulcimers of Richard and Denise Wilson from Ypsilanti. Michigan

Faculty Senate Stresses Attendance
By LESLIE KRENSKY

Concern by faculty members of the College of Arts and Sciences has prompted the Faculty Senate to lake action regarding the wording of the bulletin on class attendance and absences.
“The bulletin seems almost to discourage attendance,” said Dr. Eugene Clasby. president of the Senate. "Attendance is vital and important We want to clarify that attendance is not unnecessary."
The 1978-79 bulletin states that:
“The University considers regular and punctual attendance an important aspect of the learning process, but has a policy of voluntary attendance in most courses except for quizzes and examinations.
"Such policy precludes the dropping of a student from a course, the lowering of an academic grade, or the penalizing of a student in some other way for class absence from voluntary sessions."
Dr. Clasby believes that the statement was written stressing the fact that there are no penalties for absences. But he feels it does not
