Answer:
Production By VERTIS INC.
It is a technology
issue. Europe and most other
regions of the globe use GSM on
900 and 1800 Mhz frequency.
North America uses various
technologies: CDMA, TDMA and
GSM on 1900 Mhz frequency.
The result is that phones designed
for the European market sim-
ply don't work here. However, a
growing number of cell phones are
global phones- meaning they work
on all 3 frequencies.

Answer:
The Air Card is an
easier, more convenient method of
connecting to the wireless web. The
setup of your connection is very
easy - just insert the card, and use
the user-friendly software to con-
nect. You could use your phone as
a modem, but the connection is ex-
tremely slow, it drains your battery
and doesn't allow you to use your
phone's calling and texting features
while you are connected.

Transforming
Public Schools
Educator, author Jonathan Kozol
to speak at WSU.
C
ontroversial and outspoken educator Jonathan
Kozol will speak at Wayne State University at
9:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 26, in the Community
Arts Auditorium on the topic "Still Separate, Still
Unequal: A Teacher's Struggle to Transform Our Public
Schools."
A brief audience question-and-answer session will
follow the speech, and there will be a book-signing ses-
sion after the formal program.
The presentation is part of the university's ongoing
Jonathan Kozol
Forum on Contemporary Issues in Society (FOCIS)
series, which promotes public discussion of important
current-day issues.
Kozol, who has written several books drawing on his experiences as a teacher,
researcher and consultant, has crusaded for equal access to quality public educa-
tion for children of all racial and economic backgrounds. He points to low gradu-
ation rates (particularly in major cities), poor performance on standardized tests
and the proliferation of charter schools as evidence that the public education sys-
tem is failing in its mission to properly educate students. He strongly advocates
integrated public education and criticizes the voucher system.
Among Kozol's many books are the bestsellers The Shame of the Nation, an
expose of conditions he observed while visiting dozens of schools in several
states, and Savage Inequalities, which explores the extremes of wealth and pov-
erty in the nation's public schools. In his most recent work, Letters to a Young
Teacher, he draws upon decades of experience in the public schools as he offers
advice to a first-grade teacher at an inner-city school.
He graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University, earned a degree
in English literature and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship. He is deeply com-
mitted to social justice efforts, and one of his books focuses on the tragedy of
homeless families in America.
Admission is free, but advance registration is required. (Visit
www.focis.wayne.edu or call 313-577-5550.) Community Arts Auditorium is
located on Reuther Mall at Cass Avenue on the WSU campus, Detroit. Seating
in the auditorium will be on a first-come basis. Additional seating will be avail-
able in other areas of the building equipped with video monitors.

Holiday Shofar Sounds
Congregation Shir Tikvah will offer Dial-a-Shofar during the High Holiday
season, from mid-September to mid-October. The special phone service will
allow homebound individuals, older adults, people with disabilities and others

religious duty of hearing the sounds of the shofar.
Rosh Hashanah will be observed in area congregations Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Yom
Kippur begins at sundown Oct. 8 and continues through sundown Oct. 9.
Dial-a-Shofar can be reached at (248) 649-4418 ext. 302.
On Dial-a-Shofar, Shir Tikvah's spiritual leader, Rabbi Arnie Sleutelberg, calls
out the notes, which are played by Rick May, a congregant and leader of the
Troy congregation's Schmaltz band.
