LIFE Managing Editor
Seeking an alternate communication mode, two
Board of Truateea members will meet individually
with campua conatituenta Thursday — the same day
the Academic Senate will host ita open forum with
truateea.
Truateea Rachael Moreno and Margaret Ann
Riecker will be available to conduct 'close-range,
interpersonal" meetings,
Moreno said.
The meeting was originated by Chairman
Raymond LaBounty in a prepared statement from
the Board of Truateea Office.
The Board Chairman, Mr. LaBounty, haa asked
Ma.   Moreno,   aa   chair   of the   Assessment   and
- Development Committee, to serve aa the board's
direct   liaison   with   the   campus   community   in
matters pertaining to the presidential search."  -
Moreno said Thursday the meeting waa scheduled
to expand communication opportunities by
providing individual contact with trustees.
"Not everyone that would like to communicate
with the board can do it in a public audience
setting," Moreno said.
Individuals cam present opinions, suggestions
and* criticisms to the board, Moreno said.
"My personal goal is to do as good a job as possible
of bringing information to the board." Moreno said,
adding the meetings should allow her to recosmi
problem areas and issues the board must deal with.
The board's statement said, "Ms. Moreno and Mrs.
Riecker will be pleased to talk with individuala and
groups and to receive written communications to the
Board of Trustees."
Moreno said she also would attend the senate
forum to allow individuals attending the group
discussion to address her aa a board member.
"Information garnered from both activities will be
important to the board," Moreno aaid.
Riecker could not be reached for comment, but in
an earlier interview confirmed she would attend the
senate forum.
Trustee Alice Tomboulian said Thursday she also
would attend the open forum.
"It's very important that if people are upset that
we should be there to hear them," she said.
Although Tomboulian would not speculate what
the forum might accomplish, she said. The opportunity for people to tell the board their concerns will
solve one problem — lack of communication."
Trustees Mitch Kehetian, Gordon Lambie and
William Odykirk will not attend the forum because
of previous engagements. Trustees Bemadine
Denning and LaBounty could not be reached for
comment.
The open house with Moreno and Riecker will be
conducted in the Bovee University Center Hall of
Fame Room from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and the
senate forum will be in the Moore Hall Kiva at 4

LIFE StafT Writer
Two students plan to appeal
their termination from campus
radio station WMHW. although
they do not expect any results.
Two WMHW disc jockeys. Mike
Shiels and John I-azaraki, were
fired   for   making   a   tape   of   a
conversation between, Tom
Martin. Mount Pleasant city-
manager, and themselves.
Shiels. Lincoln Park freshman,
and Lazarski. Wyandotte
freshman, posed as representatives of a historical society. They
told Martin rock star Cyndi
Lauper was a Mount Pleasant
native and they wanted to build a
shrine for her. The two disc
jockeys did not identify
themselves or tell Martin the
phone call was a prank before
playing the tape on the air.

SGA seeks more
election hopefuls
by BRYAN LAVIOLETTE
LIFE Staff Writer
As the deadline to submit Student Government Association election
petitions approaches, one SGA executive is seeking more candidates.
Elections Committee Director Myk Riemersma 6aid he is disappointed in the number of petitions taken from the SGA office.
So far 16 prospective candidates have obtained petitions. The group
had problems last year also, as only 13 candidates entered the
representative's race to fill 15 positions. Three representatives are
elected for each of five districts
Riemersma said he would rather see positions filled during the
elections. If all positions are not filled, the executive board must
appoint representatives.
Because many students left campus for Easter, the election deadline
was changed from last Thursday to this Wednesday to give students
more time to collect signatures.
"I don't think a student entering at this late a date will be affected,"
Riemersma said.
Students entering the race must obtain 100 student signatures for
district representative positions and those vying for president and vice
president must supply 500.
President and vice president run as a team.
Students may start campaigning before returning their petitions.
Riemersma said.
Only one team has registered to run for president and vice
president. SGA Vice President Pam Weaver, Warren junior, is
running for president and District Two Representative Chris Hafke.

$7?8.000 in dfihts overdue
1,600 CMU students face withdrawal
byKRISHAHN
UFE Staff Writer
Approximately 1,600 students
may be involuntarily withdrawn
from classes if they do not pay
approximately $728,000 in
overdue University debts today.
"The actual deadline is past. It
was March 20," Receivable
Accounting Manager Jane
Johnson said. "Everyone who is
left may be potentially
withdrawn."
Delinquent bills owed to the
University this semester amount
to about $728,000, Johnson said.
Last year at this time, 2,254
students were issued final notices
to pay outstanding bills which
totaled about $970,000. Johnson
said the number of students who
owe the University money is about
the same as other years.
Johnson said students may be
able to escape the withdrawal
process if they pay their bills
today.
"It takes a while to generate the
withdrawals. We have written
letters to all those who are left
saying if they pay by Monday,
they will avoid the administrative
process," she added.
Receivable Accounting has
notified 1,621 students who did not
pay their bills, Johnson said.
University policy states
students who owe more than $100
are subject to withdrawal,
Johnson said.
"What that means is if they are
late in paying their bills, they will
be withdrawn from their classes
at the University," she said.
Johnson said consequences of
not paying outstanding University
debts such as library fines, phone
bills and room and board
payments are extensive.
"Those who are living on
campus will not continue to live on
campus. Those who have authorization codes will not be able to
make any long distance calls on
the University telephones, and
will have their codes invalidated,"
Johnson said.
Withdrawn students may not
return to classes for the
remainder of the school year,
however they may re-enroll in
classes  next semester,  provided
they pay all previous bills, she
said.
Johnson said she expects almost
all students on the list to pay their
debts before being withdrawn.
Last year few people were
withdrawn, she added.
Many students will pay just
before the last minute. Many are
only waiting for financial aid, she
said.
"In the.past, the vast majority,
almost all students have paid
their bills," Johnson said.
If students have questions
about their bills' or extenuating
circumstances are the reason for
unpaid bills, they should contact
the Accounts Receivable Office in
Warriner 110.
