Rhodes looks to 2nd year as LSA dean

who further asserts that certain
areas of graduate work are lacking
in the undergraduate program.
"We've got a law school right
across the- street, but it might as
well be in Chicago, for all the good
it does LSA students," Witke says,
adding that the medical and ar-
chitecture schools, in addition to
the, law school, should contribute
some of their teaching resources
to the proposed course pool-and
be financially compensated for -it.
Addressing himself to the LSA
language program, classics scholar
Witke cites falling language en-
rollments as evidence that "there
is no context for language study;
now.'' As a remedy, he proposes
a "perspectives on language"
course, dealing with how lan-
guages relate to human values and
c u l t u r e s. If implemented, the
course could serve as a gauge for
review of the college's language
requirement.
Rhodes'other new associate
dean, Charles Morris, is in charge
of counseling. "The real object of
.ounseling is to fit the interests,
of the student into the framework
of what he wants from his four
years at the University," saysE
Rhodes, and Morris would seem to
agree.
"Too often,.a counseling session
concerns itself with technical mat-
ters such as distribution require-
ments without getting around to
the important question of where
the student is going educationally,"
he says.
Morris believes that this de-
ficiency can be corrected largely
through expansion of the counsel-
ing program and more widespread
use of group counseling, thus of-
fering more counseling time to
students needing individual atten-
tion. Also, he suggests that the
counseling staff, be composed of
community members as well as
students and teachers, to insure
a broad base.

begin to combine its resources
with pre-professional training and4

the center stemmed from a report
by the LSA Executive Committee
which cited the center's inability
to become self-supporting. How-
ever, supporters of the program
asserted that its annual allocation
from the literary college was mi-
croscopic when compared with the
resources that the University
spends on military research.
Having just returned from a
geological seminar in his native
Britain, Rhodes defended the Ex-
ecutive Committee's position be-
fore the Regents. Psychology Prof.
Robert Hefner, director of the cen-
ter, countered that the committee's
one-page report grossly mistated
the center's financial status, but
the Regents sided with Rhodes'
view.

What have you d one
Prof. Kilrscht?.
Prof. Kirscht, what have you done for tenants
in your three years in city government?
NOT MUCH.
You could have stopped, the evictions
of low-income renters from the Pontiac
Heights Housing Co-operative.
You could have made certain that
landlords who violated the rent freeze were
punished.
You could have urged city council to
establish a damage deposit escrow fund
when tenants asked for it.
You could have forced landlords to re-
pair their buildings according to city safety
codes.
BUT YOU DIDN'T.
In fact, you have been something of
a "DO-NOTHING" council member since
you were appointed by Mayor Harris in
1969.
INSTEAD, you took pa rt in a recent
secret meeting with landlords and Mayor
Harris, and afterwards you stood by while
Prof. Harris praised the landlords.
WHY?
WHO KNOWS? Not we tenants. You
don't talk to us much. But why is it that the
landlords always seem happy to contribute
their money to the Democratic' campaign
coffers?
