Project Outreach faces loss of TA funds if format isn't revised The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 6, 1979-Page 17 S~.... .::...:::... PAC seeks to extend voting (Continued from Page l) 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." .. .. .. .. r Starts April 6th, ends April 11th SON-SALE RECEIVERS STRV2 25, STRV3 35 STRV5 55 STRV5.85 h . watt Reg. watt Reg. watt Reg. watt Reg. $2x60. ..:. .. . $330 . . . . .. $430 . . . . . .. $580 . . . .... s " " " " " " " " " " " " " r Sale $199 Sale $259 Sale $339 Sale $459 FM STEREO/FM-AM RECEIVER I Features fV 1 I .,85 watts per channeI minimum RMS at 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz with no moe than 0 07% Total Harmonic Distortion " Toroidal power transformer for more stable. voltage- efficient operation .

"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."
