The Grievance Committee
rejected appeals for additional funds
from seven campus groups after

they failed to appear at scheduled
hearings, Cheryl Olsen, member Of

Educational Committee for Life
(CMECL) were rejected for additional funding by the Grievance
Committee, Olsen, Cedar Springs
freshman said.
CMECL's request for $750 was
rejected by the Committee because
their services are duplicated by
Women's Health and Information
Project and other local
organizations, Olsen said.
Soccer Club, Orienteering Club,
Anchoras Club and Ski Racing Club
, ajl were rejected, Olsen said. These
clubs are members of the Sports
Club Federation and the Association
did   not   want, to    assume    the
re%onsibfli^
.saH.
The committee believed these
clubs should be funded through
either the Intramurals Office or the
Physical Education Department.
Funding from the Association would
only hurt their chances for other
sources of funding, Olsen said.

Committee are Olsen, Jeff Jakeway,

Robert Ringel said the mall
renovation—consisting of the
remoyal of boulders and filling in pit
areas in the "moonscapo", among
other changes—was completed Ndv,
12.
"We've filled in two pits and
sloped the edges of the landscape's
other two pits to an even grade,"
Ringel Said. He claimed the Physical
Plant had received complaints from
handicapped people about the
"undefined edges of $he pit areas"
since the landscape was created
about eight years ago.
"One blind student fell in the pit
area seven times," Ringel
recollected. He said there always
were complaints about the landscape
but there were ho funds to make; the
necessary corrections.

million worth of project proposals

Ringel said the University
donated $8,000 towards the approximate $38,686 project. The
remainder ,was paid by the state, he
said. *
According   to   Ringel,   other
construction projects for the .handicapped, including the installation of

Student, Public Safety officer
may take lie detector test
A student and 'a -Department of
Public Safety (DPS) officer may soon-
take lie detector tests concerning, a
complaint filed by. the student-
alleging he was physically harrassed
by a DPS officer, John McAuIiffe,
director of DPS, said Sunday.
Following an hour-long meeting
Friday with Michael Mack, Montague sophomore, and Cleophus C.
Melvin, 'temporary administrative
assistant to the dean of students,
McAuIiffe requested the lie detector
test because the only other witness
to the Nov. 9 incident was another
DPS officer..
"IN THE absence of witnesses,"
McAuIiffe .said, -."a polygraph
examination' is to Mr. Mack's
benefit.  He  should have  the  op
portunity to make his statements
credible.".
McAuIiffe noted that Mack's
statements thus far on the incident
donot agree with Mike Fronczak's
(the officer in question) or the other
officer on the scene, Ronald Griffiths, i  . '"    v

office that night. However, he noted
the witness did not see the alleged

Public Safety's inner office* out of

building.

indicated he would submit to a' lie
