ickup truck stolen
A three-quarter ton pickup truck was
driven through a fence after it was
stolen from a Felch Road construction
site, police reported yesterday. Sgt.
Harold Tinsey said the theft of the
truck, some tools, and a battery, oc-
curred sometime late Sunday night or
early Monday morning. There are no
suspects and the case is still under in-
vestigation. The tools and battery are
orth about $120, he said,and the '78
ickup truck has not been valued yet.
"There should be damage to the truck,"
Tinsey added, "because there was
damage to the fence."
Boy attacked in park
A man attacked a 12-year-old boy
at Summit Park at about 5 p.m. Sunday
evening, police said yesterday. The
boy, according to Sgt. Harold Tinsey,
said the man dragged him into the
ushes and attempted to remove his
othing. The boy fought off the man
and fled. The suspect was described as
a man of medium height, heavy set, and
in his 20s, Tinsey said. He added that
the suspect may have an injury on his
left hand where the boy bit him. The
case is still under investigation.

So, 'll have to wait until I go for con-
ferences (with -the teachers) I can't

Thomas Pietras; Director of
Language Arts, and Lee Hansen,
ssociate Superintendent of
urriculum and Instruction, said they
did not want to comment on the report
until the board makes a public com-
ment.
The evaluation was compiled by Ann
Arbor school officials for Joiner. It in-
cludes detailed reports from two out-
side consultants, Roger Shuy of
Georgetown University and the Center
for Applied Linguistics, and William
Hall of the University of Illinois. It also
contains teacher evaluations on the ,

placed a quota on the number of student
teachers each district can accept.
"SOME DISTRICTS applied it,
others implemented no quota. Ann Ar-
bor has listed no quota. Livonia hasn't
accepted a student teacher for five or
six years," said Eibler.
Ann Arbor Education Association
Union Representative, Holly McKinven
said, "Some school systems are not ac-
cepting student teachers because they
,eel the job market is already over-
oaded. Teachers are protecting other,
already certified teachers who can't
find positions. By not accepting student
teachers they feel they will discourage
people from going into an already
saturated profession. "
1975-76 was the most discouraging
year in the past decade for those
seeking teaching positions. In 1970,
13,000 jobs were available, and the
,,umber of vacancies hit a low of 4,484 at
mid-decade.
BUT BY 1979 there were more than
11,000 vacancies. The number of
available positions has increased
steadily since 1976, while the number of
newly certified teachers has dropped
considerably.
And job prospects for teachers may
be improving. "National reports in-
dicate a teacher shortage in all areas
(elementary and secondary) by 1985.
To what extent this will effect
ichigan, I can't say because of the
current economic conditions," Deborah
Nystrom, education coordinator at the
University Office of Career Planning
and Placement, said.
Nystrom also said, "Job oppor-
tunities are really good in Arizona,
Texas, Nevada, Florida, the Plains,
and Sun Belt states."
