Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, October 28, 1969 I Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, October 28, 1969 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, U. of M.

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. on student (Continued from Page 1) 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.
