Students petition Baucus to keep professor at UM By Shaun Tatarka Staff Writer A UM student has sent a petition signed by 35 UM Russian department students to U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., in an attempt to keep a visiting professor from having to return to the former Soviet Union. Judith Dotson, a senior in Russian and history, said she sent the petition in hopes that Baucus could help find money to keep visiting professor Dr. Ludmila Pavlina at UM. Pavlina has spent the last three years at UM teaching first-year Russian language students. “She is an excellent teacher and the only native-speaking Russian professor we have,” Dotson said. “It would be a tragedy to lose her.” Dotson said she chose Baucus because of the national government's recent concerns over Soviet-U.S. relations. “I thought he might be able to find a grant or talk to the governor or something, “Dotson said. “I just don’t think UM can afford to lose WITH LIGHT passing the horizon Tuesday, the Kyi-Yo Indian Club’s drum group sang “round dance” John YoUK*lmin this fascinating window into Russian cul­ songs to about 40 people who danced in the Oval.

In order to enforce safety for pedestrians Stolz cited three options: construction (a ten-foot-wide concrete path from the L.A. build­ ing to Higgins), education (posting signs with bike rules) and enforcement (ra­ dar guns can be used to clock bike speed), he said. Stolz said the UM park­ ing crisis includes not only cars but bicycles and said solutions can only come about with a large survey response. He said one possible so­ lution would be to put a roof over the ground above the Urey Lecture Hall and reserve it for bike parking.
