The plan, discussed at Wednesday's board meeting, is a response to an academic situation some call unfair. Because each school in the city is basically free to design and run its own curriculum, counseling, and other af- fairs, some schools send their students to high school better prepared than students from other areas, proponents of the plan claim. UNDER THE proposal conceived by Dr. Richard Stock, Director of Secon- dary Education, and by Dr. Lee Han- sen, Associate Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, course requirements would be uniform throughout the intermediate schools. A similar range of elective courses for all city students would also be required. The plan has met with considerable controversy because many of Ann Ar- bor's intermediate school teachers, who turned out in large numbers at the board meeting, say they do not want to be told how to run their courses. They said they also wish to preserve the educational programs that they designed themselves, and that differ from school to school. Required daily courses in the following are set forth by the proposal: Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies, three years each; Scien- ce, two years; Physical Education, one and one-half years; Health, one-half year; and Art, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts,12 weeks each. ELECTIVE COURSES will be discussed by the board before next week's vote on the whole proposal. Five teachers from each of the five intermediate schools had met with the Ann Arbor Education Association earlier to discuss their reactions to the proposal, which included goals for their students' intellectual, physical, psychological, and social development. They suggested some changes, but ap- proved the plan unanimously. The final vote, however, is up to the school board. In explaining why the four groups of goals, as well as a description of emerging adolescents, were included in the proposal, school board president Kathy Dannemiller said, "We needed to go back to the 'why' of the proposal." This issue has been debated for several years now, and Dannemiller said that now it looks like the plan is likely to pass and begin being im- plemented in the schools in the coming school year.

AFL-CIO to break sex barrier in top posts BAL HARBOUR, Fla. - The male-dominated AFL-CIO agreed yesterday to set aside strongly held tradition and name at least one woman to a top leadership position for the first time in the 99-year history of American trade union federations. AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland announced the federation's all-male executive council would set aside two of its 35 seats for a woman and a minority representative as vacancies occur. Several union representatives presidents on the council are expected to retire this year. Joyce Miller, president of the Coalition of Labor Union Women, hailed the action as "a tremendous move that is much stronger and more than I had expected." President Tito 's burial site rumored to being prepared BELGRADE, Yugoslavia - the rumor in this country is that construc- tion workers have prepared a temporary burial site for President Josip Tito, despite the fact that he hasn't died yet. > After days of almost frantic round-the-clock work, construction crews have stopped work on an area in front of a Belgrade museum, where uncon- firmed reports say Tito's body will be held until a permanent site is found. Doctors said yesterday Tito's condition was stable but serious. Report claims Soviets took part in U.S. official's death WASHINGTON - A State Department report on the death last year of U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Adolph Dubs-says Soviet officials played a key role in the events leading up to his killing. Dubs was killed last February when Afghan poliee opened fire on a second-floor room at the Kabul Hotel where he had been taken by uniden- tified kidnappers. The report said that Soviets were observed "taking an operational role just prior to and during the assault." . Connally running out of money WASHINGTON - John Connally, who once boasted a $10-million presidential campaign, is running out of money at a critical stage in his quest for the White House. Connally, the biggest spender among those entered in the 1980 presiden- tial race, finished about $45,000 in the red at the end of January, u~cording to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission yesterday. Kelly resigns from conference WASHINGTON - Rep. Richard Kelly of Florida, the only Republican to be implicated in the FBI undercover operation known as ABSCAM, resigned yesterday from the House Republican Conference rather than be expelled for admitting he took a $25,000 bribe. Kelly, who said he accepted the money as part of his own investigation, told the closed caucus he wanted to "save the Republican Party from an ac- tion that would not be appropriate," according to House Minority Leader John.Rhodes (R-Ariz.). Rhodes said there was a "strong sentiment" to oust Kelly from the con- ference, which includes all House GOP members. But he said Republicans were planning to postpone any decision on Kelly for a week when the congressman resigned. Reyes Syndrome detected in 4 more children State health offiicals reported yesterday four additional cases of Reyes Snydrome, a rare and sometimes fatal side effect of viral illnesses such as influenza and chicken pox. A recent boost in the number of Reyes Syndrome cases reported around Michigan has been linked to a flu outbreak sweeping the state's school-age population. The victims are four boys, ranging in ages from seven to 14 years, from Tuscola, Genesee and Iron Counties.
