By JOHN SINKEVICS A group of three outside experts on introductory English composition will come to the University in May at the request of the English department to discuss the department's new freshman composition program. Department Chairman Jay Robinson said the conference was called because "we have made some changes in our program, and in supervising our teaching fellows. We want them to ad- vise and consult us about our new program." THE THREE English "consultants" are Edward Corbett from Ohio State University, Martin Steinmann from the University of Minnesota, and Richard Ohmenn from Wesleyan University. English TA Richard Brengle said Oh- mann, whose book English in America: SHORT or LONG Hairstyles for Men and Women DASCOLA STYLISTS " 615 E. Liberty-668-9329 " 3739 Washtenaw-971-9975 " 613 N. Maple-761 -2733 * 611 E. University-662-0354 A Radical View of the Profession criticized the teaching of English in post-secondary institutions, will probably provide any "hard core" criticism of the program. Robinson said the May 24-26 con- ference will include those people "who are directly involved with the program." The new English Com- position Board (ECB) instituted some changes in teaching formats last Sep- tember by putting greater emphasis on writing skills, and the program will be in full swing for the 1979 Fall term. "These folks are coming for input," said Brengle. "I think we can benefit from the experiences of those people who have run these types of English programs around the country." Both Brengle and Robinson emphasized the conference is not a review of the depar- as Englis tment's new program, but rather a forum for discussion and consultation. BUT AT LEAST one TA is not pleased with the May dates for the conference. In an unsigned letter to The Daily, the TA said 'most English 125 TAs will not be able to attend the discussions due to their summer scheduling, a move the TA claims is indicative of the ECB's inattentiveness to TA input. Brengle, however, disagreed. "My impression is that these people were so booked that it couldn't have been scheduled earlier," he said. ROBINSON SAID a memo was sent to all TAs informing those who could not attend the discussions to put their views and impressions of the program in writing. He also said no problems with the assigned'dates have been en- countered and "everyone has been h comp. solicited" about the conference. TA Howard Brick, who wrote a for- mal critique of the philosophical trend of the freshman writing program earlier in the school year, agreed that the conference is a positive step. "It's a goodwill gesture on the part of the people who run the program," said Brick. The TA also said English 125 TAs are not under the "same sorts of con- straints they were last term," because it is no longer a new program to which the TAs are unaccustomed. "The TAs have- been given some more leeway in teaching their courses this term," le continued. However, Brick also said if the ECB does not allow TA input in devising next year's course syllabi it may still face some discontent from the TAs who will teach English 125 in the fall. SUNDAY BRUNCH featuring... 3 waffles pancakes and omelettes 9AM-2PM Budget cut may hurt 'U' nurses I 314 E. Liberty Ann Arbor 662-2019 r Break 14G IlIL the K L Communication CZ Barrier LI] Z.hIZ By JULIE BROWN The University's School of Nursing may lose over a million dollars - one- third of its 1980 budget - if cuts in federal funding recommended by President Carter are approved by Congress, according to Dean Mary Lohr. Lohr, who testified last Thursday before a U.S. House subcommittee, said the budget cuts would mean that "It will probablybe necessary to limit the number of students admitted to the school, and to eventually close some of the master's programs. We would also, stand to lose half a million dollars a year in research support." LOHR, WHO appeared before the House Interstate and Foreign Com- merce Health Subcommittee, stressed the importance of federal funding for nursing, education, including support for research projects, student loans and scholarships, and nurse-practitioner training; According to Lohr's testimony, several specialized training programs would be affected by the budget cuts. The pediatric nurse-practitioner program and master's programs in" psychiatric, parent-child, and com- munity health nursing, would be affec ted by the reductions in federal funding.' PUBLIC LECTURE by EUGENIO DOM6TO Professor of French and Comparative Literature University of California, Irvine DIVINE AGONIES: THEME ND AILLEGORY IN ROMANTIC POETICS Tuesday, March 27-4:10 p.m. Rackham Amphitheatre Sponsored by The Program in Comparative Literature The Carter administration has recommended that Congress cut federal support for nursing education from $122,000,000 for 1979 to $14,000,000 for 1980. In 1978, Congress passed a Nurse Training Act which the President vetoed. Lohr urged the subcommittee to enact a 1980 Nurse Training Act, to extend federal support for nursing education. Earlier this month, a group of 35 nur- sing school students and faculty mem- bers went to Wasljngton to appear before the House and Senate. The House voted to restore $17,000,000 to nursing programs, bringing the recommended cuts to about $22,000,000. } The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended cuts of about $16,000,000.
