FORMER OFFICIAL:
Educators to vote
Desegregation
policy
A former top Justice Depart-
ment official warned a group of
nearly 85 law students yesterday
to examine all aspects of the de-
partment before agreeing to work
for the Nixon Administration.
"In t h i s particular period of
time, it is incumbent on you to be
quite aggressive to find out what
employment in the, department
would entail," said former Assis-
tant U.S. General Stephen Poll-
ack, referring to Nixon's relaxa-'
tion of desegragation guidelines
in Southern schools.
Pollack, who headed t h e de-,
Partment's civil rights division
under President Johnson, told the
students they should understand
completely the politics involved in
enforcing desegregation and other
civil rights legislation for the gov-
ernment.
"This decision, this hesitation
by the Nixon administration, rep-
resents a retreat in Mississippi,"
he said. "It shows a willingness,
which I think regrettable, to suc-
cumb to public opposition to de-
segregation of Southern schools"
Pollack said of the lawyers who
work for the civil rights division,
'They are part of the administra-
tion and must sometimes take or-
ders on policy decisions affected
by political matters."
Pollack emphasized that al-
though the Nixon administration
is "vacillating" on the desegre-
gation question, it has not denied
government's obligation to en-
force the Supreme Court desegre-
gation rulings.
The a p p a r e n t desegregation
slowdown represents, said Pollack,
"a difference of degree rather
than a change of objective" from
the Johnson administration.
Pollack spoke yesterday at the
request of a group of students who
had originally requested Attorney
General John Mitchell to send a
representative to explaintthis pol-
icy change.
"We sent a letter signed by 274
Law School students to the Jus-
tice Department expressing con-
cern over recent policy changes in
this area," said Daryl Anderson,

blasted
the student who drafted the let-!
ter. Anderson said the Justice De-r
partment declined to send a rep-t
resentative to participate in the
forum.-
The lecture was scheduled tot
coincide with the appearance on,
campus today of two job inter-t
viewers for the Justice Depart-c
ment. Although both were invit-
ed to participate in the forum,
they declined.G
"I'm not in the Civil Rights Di-r
vision." said recruiter Irving Jaf-:
fe, "and I don't want to talk on
something I don't know about."
I can't defend, or not defend
Mr Mitchell, or why he acted the
way he did," said Jaffe. He said
only one of five students he in-
terviewed yesterday morning ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with t h e
Justice Department's recent pol-
icy changes.
Students in the Law School had
discussed Saturday the possibility
of a demonstration against the
Justice Department following Pol-
lack's lecture, but no protest ma-
terialized yesterday. A few of the
85 students at the lecture wore
black mourning armbands, a n d
passed out leaflets before the lee-
ture saying "Justice is dead."
Dr. Rensis Likert, director of
the Institute for Social Research
has been invited to address t h e
15th International Management
Congress scheduled Nov. 4-8 in
Tokyo.
He will discuss "Improving Hu-
man Performance: I;etur Theory,
More Accurate Accounting" t h e
afternoon of Nov. 5 in Tokyos
Hotel New Ottani.

the practice teaching programi
there. M a n y officials connected
with state programs of educationi
feel that this is a growing and1
spreading movement.
Shduld the ban on student
teaching become widespread, it
will cause difficulties for educa-1
tion majors attempting to obtain
teacher certification. Current law
requires teachers to have at least+
one semester (equivalent to five'
credit hours) of practice teach-;
ing.
"If the trend becomes wide-
spread, and we keep hearing that
it is growing, then presumably the
State Board of Education would
need to take a look at teacher
certification requirements," said
Edward Pfau, Director of the
Teacher Education and Certifica-
tion Department of the state Of-
fice of Education.
teaching
"Official conversations between
the Michigan Education Associa-
tion and deans and directors of
education across the state haveI
been taking place for some time
now," Pfau said.
Pfau says that one alternative
program to practice teaching is
the "probationary year" require-
ment. After completing the aca-
demic requirements for a degree,
each teacher would be temporarily
certified and be allowed to take a
job in education with the under-
standing that his first y e a r of
work was probationary.
This plan does not allow, how-
ever, for the education graduate
who wishes to teach outside thef
state. That person would s t i11
have to complete t h e one-year
probationary period or would lose
his temporary certification.
"This may well become a state
issue," said Pfau.
