TA funds if format isn't revised

This, however, was a major concern of
some faculty members on the{
Curriculum Committee and on the
Executive Committee, because they
sai' it contradicts University policy;
* A departmental committee, in-
cluding several members of the faculty,
should assume responsibility for ap-
proving projects suitable for credit;
* The number of credit hours studen-
ts are able to earn in Project Outreach
(12) should be reduced.
SOME MEMBERS of the Executive
Committee were inclined to discontinue
Outreach altogether, but according to a
letter from LSA Associate Dean John
Knott to Psychology Department
Chairman Warren Norman, the com-
mittee "recognizes that abrupt discon-
tinuance would have a number of un-
desirable effects."
The Psychology Department has
organized a committee to! establish a
new format for the teaching of Project
Outreach, and a report from that com-
mittee is scheduled to be released
today.
Reinharz, director of Project
Outreach, said a report, formulated by
an administrative assistant to Knott,
Joan O'Connell, concerning Outreach's
hospital projects and presented to
Executive Committee members, was
inaccurate and not representative of
the program's intentions.
"O'CONNELL'S report was garbled
and pejorative, and distorted the pur-
pose and workings of the program,"
said Reinharz.
Reinharz also said the Executive
Committee did not hear the Psychology
Department's presentation to the
Curriculum Committee on Outreach
which portrayed the program as ef-
ficient and necessary. She also said the
Executive Committee did not see
Project Outreach's own report on the
program, and did not "hear the sen-
timents" of the Curriculum Committee.
Mims said O'Connell has consistently
taken a vindictive stance toward
Outreach and has "editorialized"
minutes of Curriculum Committee
meetings to emphasize faculty rather
than student arguments.
"I DON'T feel Joan is unbiased to do
adequate reporting on Outreach," said
Mims. "She couldn't find anything
positive about the program."
Knott, however, said nearly all
available information on Outreach -
Curriculum Committee recommen-
dations as well as Outreach reports -
were seen by Executive Committee
members, and that O'Connell's report
was fair and accurate.
"Let me assure you the Executive
Committee was relayed all information
concerning Outreach, and Joan's
(O'Connell) report was sent to them as
well as to the Psychology Department,
knowing it would get picked apart by
people from Outreach," said Knott.
"Their objections to a report that was
the basis for action by the Executive
Committee is predictable."
Knott also said O'Connell checked her
notes on the program's hospital projec-
ts for accuracy with Georgie Ferris
from Project Outreach.
"I THINK Joan did a fair job of in-
vestigation and the facts she obtained
were checked with a key member of
Outreach's staff," said Knott.
Ferris, however, said O'Connell did
not check her notes with her and only
asked questions about the structure of
Project Outreach.
"As far as systematically checking
her notes with me, she never did," said
Ferris. "I'm not closely involved with
the hospital projects and I couldn't
have given her any information about it
anyway."
FERRIS ALSO said she felt O'Con-
nell did not take enough time making
her report.
Psychology Dept. Chairman Warren
Norman said the department is com-
plying with the Executive Committee's
decision, but that, in view of the depar-
tment's own assessment of the
program, Project Outreach is currently
well-managed and efficient.
"I believe Outreach is a desirable ad-
junct to the teaching of the Psychology
Department, and I have felt that way
since its inception," said Norman. "I
don't know what the tone or rationale
was behind the Executive Committee's
decision - I wasn't invited to hear their
discussions."
NORMAN ALSO said the installation
of more faculty members and graduate
teaching assistants into the program
will make Outreach more expensive.
"Currently, Outreach is inexpensive -
It's paying its bills and then some," he
said.
Reinharz said the program's ex-
perience in using undergraduates to
supervise projects has been successful,
and that it is valuable because it gives
students an opportunity to gain leader-
ship experience.
."Our undergraduate coordinators
have been rated highly by students in
evaluations," said Reinharz. "They, as
consumers, have been very satisfied."
Reinharz also said Outreach has
always had problems getting faculty
members interested in the program,
and if enough faculty members are not
recruited for Outreach many projects
will be eliminated.
"The question is: Are we going to get
more faculty members into the
program?" said Reinharz. "If we don't
now, a lot of projects will be cut, and
valuable services to the community will
be eliminated."

were denied the opportunity to vote.
"At the very least, students ought to be
given the opportunity to vote that was
denied them,"said Rubin.
One suit has been filed against MSA
by Rick Shahin, a former CSJ member,
for allowing campaigners within 50 feet
of the polling site. Two more students
involved in the election are filing suit.
Larry Lichtman, President of MIRC,
the Michigan Republican Club t(MIRC il
said "it's questionable whether it'd
been an honest election," referring to
the ballot problem, and Joshua Banners
a candidate for MSA representative;
said "many pollworkers didn't tell
peopleto vote by a preferential
system."
