ICP0: The Michigan Daily - Sunday, October 28, 1984- Page 3 Design your own major By NANCY DOLINKO When Anne Hirsch became discouraged with her courses in psychology, she decided to design her own major in organizational behavior. Hirsch, an LSA junior, was one of 76 students whose independent concentration proposal was accepted last year. She says she made the right decision. "I personally wanted something more tailored to me, that reflected my goals, something no one else can do" Hirsch said. Because a growing number of students were in- terested in non-traditional majors, the University decided to help people interested in designing their own concentrations. The Independent Concentration Program (ICP) began in 1969. ICP ranks about 10th in popularity among the 85 degree options the University offers, according to the senior auditing office. Students who select an ICP work with a couselor to create a special program which they are interested in. ALL ICP programs must meet the LSA English composition, foreign language distribution, and junior-senior writing requirements, said Prof. Liina Wallin, who heads the program. After consulting a counselor, students present their proposals to the ICP committee which meets once a month. The committee then decides whether or not to accept the proposal. If it is rejected, the student can redesign the proposal and resubmit it. "I liked the freedom and flexibility that an ICP gave me," said Sydnei Lippman, an LSA senior who is pursuing an ICP in business marketing. Lippman said she decided on an ICP after being denied entrance into business school. She said she chose it because she still wanted to pursue a Master of Business Administration degree. "I FOUND THAT people were impressed with my creativity and drive," she said. Lippman said she spoke with professionals in the business field to determine the marketability of her degree. However, she added that the University would make more people aware of the ICP. "The Univer- sity needs to promote the idea more. Most people don't know what an ICP is," she said. Stacie Schiff, an LSA junior and Anglo-American Legal Studies major, is one of the newest students to have an ICP approved. "I became discouraged as a communications major when several courses were cut over the sum- mer," she said. "I looked at what courses were of- fered having to do with law and legal thinking. From this, I formed a program that covered all of this. I am interested in law and wondered what would be most helpful-what could I get the most out of," she said. "I am ecstatic about this. I can take from this University what I want, It's really exciting," she said.

School of Business Adm. - Seminar, "How to be an Effective Sales 111loween lets loonies share the By DOV COHEN You can usually catch some pretty weird people on the streets of Ann Ar- bor, and yesterday was no exception. But theyweren't the ordinary group of zanies that roam the city's streets, they were University students. THEY traded in their No Code but- tons, Mondale-Ferraro stickers, and Go-Blue T-shirts for greasepaint, makeup, and second-hand clothes. Down at East Quad, you could check out the locals running around like Jesus, Iggy Pop, and a "slightly soiled" condom. "He's got a large hole in him so we don't know if anyone will use him," said Andrew Roberts, an East Quad resident. "IT'S NO secret that East Quad people tend to be odd. So Halloween is our time to glory in it," Roberts said. A student dressed as Iggy was decked out in classic androgynous style. His heavily made-up face, his golden left earring, and the glitter in his hair reeked of ambiguity. His tight stockings, his bare chest, and his leather jacket added another dimen- sion. David Miller, aMarkley resident who attended the East Quad party, came dressed with a bandana and several chains around his neck. His only problem was that he said he was a "biker in the '60s or a (University) Professor of Mathematics." East Quad wasn't the only dorm celebrating Halloween. At Mary Markley dormitory, a student presumably representing the En- Slimelight trepeneur's Club came dressed as Joel from Risky Business. Wearing his sunglasses, sports jacket, and dragging on an unlight cigarette, Joel, who refused to reveal his real identity, went around offering to "help out" his friends. Why did the student dress as Joel? Sometimes you just got to say what the fuck," he said. Shortly thereafter a "tourist" in a Hawaiian shirtsbumped into everyone in sight and asked, "Can you tell me where the American Consulate is in Ann Arbor." Boyer to defend liberal arts in campus address o ", 4NCISM . u.... . I (Continued from Page 1) inform the LSA-SG, who went ahead and spent over $2000 of sponsors' money to publicize the speech. "WE SIGNED a written agreement to have Boyer appear on Oct. 30 back in May," Philipsborn said. "There is a great University interest in having Boyer speak, as many groups have sponsored his appearance, so we were naturally upset when we found out the event was being rescheduled. We only found out a week before the event that it was being rescheduled." Berman said the University ad- ministration found out about the problem, and contacted Boyer, a good friend of University President Harold Shapiro, and set up the time of 4 p.m. on Oct. 30. "Boyer decided to come out of loyalty to the University community," said Berman, "He had no idea of the problems we had been going through." MUCK, UNAWARE of the new plans, said that communication problems caused the confusion over Boyer's ap- pearance. "I have had no facts to work with. I am very frustrated with the situation, because I have had no notice of the problems Eric Berman is facing. I really had no idea of the importance of (Boyer's) appearance to the University community." Boyer will speak on "The Future of American Education and the Role of Liberal Arts" Tuesday in theMichigan Union ballroom. Boyer holds honorary degrees from 48 U.S. colleges and universities and has implemented numerous education reforms. Among the programs credited to Boyer are the 4-1-4 academic calendar, in which a short interim semester is of- fered between the two regular terms, and a review of professors' teaching methods based on student and ad- ministrative analysis. "The University is looking forward to Boyer speaking in favor of the liberal arts after they have come under such criticism in recent years," Philipsborn said. Boyer's speech comes right on the heels of last week's statement by Secretary of Education T.H. Bell that "American higher education has the sniffles" and that only half of the students now in college will ever attain their educational goals. People here hope Boyer will dispel the bad prognosis that liberal arts have received, Philipsborn said.
