The Michigan Daily-Thursday, January 31, 1980-Page 3 Students tour foreign countries By MARGARET HELTON . Next time you are trudging along tate Street on your way to class, pic- re yourself strolling down the tree- lined Champs Elysees in Paris instead. Or, imagine living in a castle on the - Inn River in Germany while studying Medieval manuscripts, like Tom Moga did last summer. When he wasn't studying, Moga, who is working. on a Masters degree in English, said, "I spent much of my time traveling t F Switzerland and Austria, more or less on my own. CURRENTLY THERE are about 45 University studentsstudying in France and Germany. Others are living and at- tending classeg in less typical nations such as Guaemala and Haiti, accor- ding to Utink Peiter, Director of the LSA StJ4y Abroad Office. At any given t some '200-300 University un- ' dergraduates are earning college credit in foreign countries, he added. Study abroad programs - for a Summer term, or year - are available rough the LSA Office for Study Abroad, other U.S. and foreign in- Education and stitutions, and various private agen- Oies. Applications for most study abroad programs for this summer or next fall are due between now and April. Various numbers of credits can be earned depending on the program. In- formation about specific programs is available at the LSA office or the Inter- national Center in the Michigan Union. Includingt tuition, room and board, and traveling expenses, costs for a one- year foreign study program typically range from $6,500 to $10,000, according to Peiter. The difference is due to in- dividual lifestyles, he added. "THERE ARE two major reasons for people to study abroad," said Peiter. "The first reason involves people that cannot think of anything else to do and are finding the Ann Arbor situation in- tolerable. They are either bored or unhappy so they go abroad. "However, the majority go abroad because they see a prime opportunity to expand their knowledge of the world escape overseas and, if they are really smart, of them- selves. Study abroad provides a greater view of the world, the United States, and your own self." Peiter is quick to point out that, con- trart to popular belief, it is not necessary to be a foreign language student in order to go abroad. "ALTHOUGH virtually everyone that studies abroad has had exposure to a language, I do not think it is true that all, or even most, are majors in the language," Peiter explained. "Of the students that are abroad this year, not more than half are majoring in language. Two-thirds are double majors, majoring in the language and another subject. That other subject may have nothing to do with the language."~ Mary Wileden, coordinator of th Overseas Opportunities Office in the In- ternational Center, emphasized that "most students have the desire to get another cultural experience. They don't want to spend all of their time in a library. They want to meet people and travel. They don't want a U of M type study program which leaves little room for anything else." Both Wileden and Peiter pointed out that study abroad is not always as romantic as it first appears. There is a great deal of reality involved, they said. Denise McClumpha, an LSA senior who studied in Rome last year, lived in a former convent that was attached to an old church. McClumpha said living there was just like living in a dormitory at the University. "IT CAN BE a painful and hard ex- perience," Peiter warned. "For exam- ple, trying to grapple with personal problems in a foreign country with a foreign language. On the other hand, the joy of achievement is greater." Students currently receiving finan- cial aid can often apply it to foreign study, if they go through a University- sponsored program, according to Peiter. Frequently, he added, financial aid will be increased, to reflect the higher expenses involved in studying in another country. ' abortion.

Tenure proposal prohibits rehiring faculty By JAY McCORMICK For LSA faculty members who have &een denied tenure, other LSA lecturing obs may be harder to come by if a recently-submitted proposal by the LSA Executive Committee becomes an of- ficial guideline. The proposal is currently in front of Alfred Sussman, acting vice-president for academic affairs. ACCORDING TO LSA Dean Billy rye, people who have been denied tenure in one LSA department will not be able to be hired as lecturers by other departments unless they are excep- tionally well qualified, if the proposal now being worked on by Sussman and the Executive Committee is put into ef- fect. Frye said the college is trying to avoid duplication of courses and the damaged academic reputations which arise when one department hires someone refused tenure in another department. He said he felt department hiring recommendations involving such individuals needed more than just an automatic approval from the Executive Committee. Marc Breakstone, Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) academic affairs coordinator, disagreed with the logic behind the proposal. "The criteria for the two different jobs are different," he said. While Breakstone claimed research is an integral part of the tenure decision, he said research has little to do with the teaching quality that a lecturer should possess. FRYE SAID the side effects of current hiring practices prompted the Executive Committee to make the proposal. Repeated or overlapping courses and declining academic reputations result from hiring the same people the college recently dismissed, Frye explained. The proposed rule might have in- fluenced a case such as that of Joel Samoff, who was denied tenure in a controversial decision by the Political Science Department and was rehired by the Center for Afro-American and African Studies as a lecturer. Frye said the new rule also might have affected the hiring practices of the Residential College over the past several years. Residential College Director John Morsereau declined to comment on the proposal. Ali Mazrui, director of the Center for Afro-American and African Studies, could not be reached for com- ment.
