LAS dean to resign in June
Segal cites stress over budget and layoffs as reasons for departure
By Dmitri Williams
Assistant City Editor
Gerald Segal, dean of the College of Letters Arts and Sciences, announced yesterday in a memo to College faculty and staff that he will be resigning his position as dean at the end of June.
Segal cited the strain of dealing with an oppressive budget crisis and the need for a fresh voice. His announcement brought reactions from faculty and staff which ranged from disappointment to confusion.
"He's a damn good man," said Interim Provost and former College Dean William Spitzer. "He'll be missed. I served a similar term as dean and did the same thing. These jobs are very wearing."
Many others were not aware
of the announcement by Thursday afternoon. "I don't really know what to make of it," said English Professor Paul Alkon. "I wish I had a crystal ball to look into."
Segal's departure, one year prior to the expiration of his term, leaves a power vaccuum in a position that one anonymous source called "an absolutely pivotal position — the second most important academic officer to the Provost on this campus."
According to Spitzer, the search for an interim dean will begin immediately.
Asked what his plans are for the future, Segal said he will take a year-long sabbatical and then to return to the university as a chemistry professor.

Moving day comes early for College-Uni residents
By Tracie Tso
Assistant Assignment Editor
Construction of facilities for a new fall semester faculty-in-residence program has pushed 26 students out of their rooms in College-Universi-ty Residence Hall.
Within the next two weeks, the affected first-floor residents are expected to vacate and relocate to other rooms in the complex. Residents were notified of the relocation plans yesterday evening.
The construction will affect two wings of the multi-level complex, 16 rooms in all.
Students will be offered benefits in addition to assistance in moving, according to a Student Affairs representative.
Each student will receive a refund of $200 to
cover costs associated with relocation. Each student will also receive a $175 credit toward fall 1993 housing costs if students live in university housing. Students will also be reimbursed for the cost of connecting telephone service after relocation.
University housing has been working jointly with the committee heading the program, which consists of students, faculty and staff, since October of last year. University housing officals left vacant rooms unfilled within the area under construction and reserved rooms within the complex for residents to relocate to.
Two apartments will be constructed to house faculty members so that they may live with the students in the program. Rooms that will house

The program was held in honor of Jewish Pride Day and was attended by a number of organizations interested in educating students on the culture and di-(See Pride, page 3)
Slates win big in senate elections
By Duryan Bhagat
Managing Editor
Slate politics ruled the roost once again as this year's Student Senate two-day election ended with four different slates sweeping their respective constituencies.
"I thought the elections went excellent. Unfortunately, there were not as many people out campaigning, which would account for the low turnout," said Derrick Pedranti, senate president. "It was a fair and ethical election and I'm very happy."
The total votes cast in the student election were 1832. The breakdown was 271 commuter votes, 546 student community votes, 570 greek votes and 445 residence hall votes. The num-
bers represent less than 20 percent of the student body eligible to vote.
The strength of slate politics was probably most telling in the residence hall race, where the fourth slot, won by independent Kareem Washington — the only independent candidate to win a seat — beat former Team Change candidate Shabazz Moye by one vote, 160-159.
The remaining Team Change members, Julie Gabler, Roy Nwaisser and James Emerson, swept the other three seats with 286, 250 and 231 votes.
"I am really excited. I like the way all the election results turned out," said Nwaisser. "I see an opportunity for real (See Election, page 2)
