Office continues investigation
Affirmative Action decision still
pending on RA dismissal matter
BY FONTELLA WHITE
LIFE Assistant rJesvs Edtor	
University officials are uncertain when an
investigation into the firing of a Carey Hall
resident assistant will be concluded.
It still has not been determined whether
discrimination was a factor in the Oct. 22 firing of
2nd floor Carey KA Warren McCreary.
McCreary. Saginaw senior, was dismissed
when he returned after leaving for a weekend
against the advice of Kimberly Williams, Carey
Residence Hall Director, McCreary said in an
earlier interview.
McCreary brought concerns about his dismissal
to CMlTs Affirmative Action office. Affirmative
Action Officer Marshall Rose said Tuesday he is
uncertain when the investigation will conclude.
"Hopefully, we will be able to put this matter to
rest soon, but there is no specific date," Rose said.
Because the investigation still is pending. Rose
said he could not comment any further.
Although McCreary was Carey Hall's only
black RA, McCreary said he does not think he
was the victim of racial discrimination. However,
he   said   the   reasons   for   his   dismissal   were
unwarranted.
In an earlier interview, McCreary said he was
told he was fired because he waa not easily
accessible to residents and had poor floor
programming.
"I never got any type of letter or evaluation
sheet saying she (Williams) was not happy with
the job I was doing before. I was never placed on
probation or anything, so I had no awareness of a
problem," McCreary said in an earlier interview.
Laura Gonzales, director of the Office of
Minority Affairs, said Tuesday her office was not
involved in the case. She said Affirmative Action
and the Housing Office still are the main offices
involved.
"Housing and Affirmative Action are both
aware ofthe situation. I think he (McCreary) has
taken the situation to the appropriate channels,"
Gonzales said.
Gonzales said she did not know all the facts
surrounding the incident so she did not feel
comfortable commenting on the situation.
"I really can't comment because there is so
much information regarding the situation, and at
this point it is difficult to know what is going on,"
Gonzales said.

through Chippewa yearbooks from 1954 to 1957 and found photographs and references to Enberg, now an NBC sportscaster. She

Officials probe
possible test
heist at center
BY MATT SHEEHAN
UFE Staff Wnw *	
A test steering incident — possibly involving
testing center employees and accounting students —
is being investigated by University officials.
Duane Goupell, manager of the Center for
Learning Assessment Services (CLAS), said there
waa "a breach of security" last week possibly
involving CLAS personnel and students in an
accounting class.
Goupell said accounting tests were illegally
removed from CLAS and an investigation, which
might involve CLAS employees, has been initiated
at the center. Goupell would not release information
concerning what class was involved or what/ CLAS
personnel, if any, took part in the alleged incident
He would not release further details "due to the
nature" of the incident
Accounting Department Chairman Philip
Kintxele said a report of alleged academic dishonesty involving accounting students is being investigated by the Office of Student Life.
Kintxele said he referred students, in a report, to
Student Life sometime last week. He said he could
not comment on the exact date, because he was not
the instructor involved.
He said that his report to Student Life states the
incident concerns "more than one student," but
would not comment on the exact number.
KinUele would not elaborate what accounting
class or what section was involved. He also would
not identify the class instructor.
Leonard Plachta, dean of the School of Business,
said he is "somewhat" aware of an academic
dishonesty incident within his school.
"I'm only vaguely aware," Plachta said. "I do not

Rep. Engler's
AIDS legislation
unlikely to reach
state Senate
BY BETH MENGE
LIFE Assistant News Editor	
Acquired immune deficiency
syndrome legislation, sponsored
by Rep. Colleen Engler, R-Mount
Pleasant, is not likely to make it to
the Senate floor before Thursday's
scheduled adjournment.
And as Sexually Transmitted
Disease (STD) awareness week
continues at CMU, at least one
local resident opposes the bill.
Engler, 99th District state
House representative, will not
return to office in January to
re-introduce the legislation.
But even though House Bill
5279 did not get out ofthe Senate
Public and Mental Health
Committee at the group's last
scheduled meeting Tuesday, the
concept probably won't die.
The legislation would allow
judges or local health department
officials to order AIDS testing for
persons arrested for prostitution,
solicitation, gross indecency
between males and in intravenous
drug-related cases.
Donald Monta, legislative
research analyst for the House
Republican staff, said the bill
probably will be re-introduced in
1987. Seven other GOP-sponsored
AIDS bills, which are in various
House and Senate committees,
also probably will be back, he said.
The purpose of STD week is to
increase awareness about AIDS
and other STDs such as syphillis.
AIDS is an incurable illness
which weakens the body's
immune system. The disease can*
be transmitted through anal
intercourse and through using a
common needle to inject drugs
into the bloodstream.  It  is not
