Page 5 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 18, 1986 Computer r plan nears completion By GEORGE KOKKINES The University's goal to install 127 computer stations in nine residence halls by March of this year is behind schedule due to construction delays. To day 115 of the stations are in place. The project is part of a plan to in- stall 1,500 work stations around cam- pus within three years. It supplemen- ts the 500 Michigan Terminal System (MTS) workstations already operating in other University buildings, such as the Union, Angell Hall, East Engineering, and several libraries. THE University Board of Regents approved the plan last September and allocated a $2.8 million annual budget. Students contribute through the man- datory computer fee of $50 this term and $100 per term thereafter. The nine residence halls with work stations include Fletcher, Oxford Housing, Baits Housing, South Quad, Bursley, Markley, Mosher-Jordan, Alice Lloyd, and Stockwell. Twenty terminals are scheduled to be in place in West Quad in the spring and workstations in East Quad and Couzens are scheduled for completion this fall. ASSISTANT Housing Director Ruth Addis said the project is designed to "reach students in the dorms. and make them more computer literate." Greg Marks, University deputy vice provost for information technology said the dormitory installations are geared toward making computers more accessible to students, especially women who need to use them at night. To teach students how to use com- puters the housing division has hired 10 trainers. The trainers have scheduled classes on how to use word processors. One such seminar was already held at Markley. Glenn Clark, an LSA senior and computer trainer at Bursley, said "the students are reacting favorably to the help the trainers give and have many questions." ADDIS SAID enough money was allocated to allow the work stations to operate 52 hours a week. "It is up to the individual residence halls to set specific hours," she said. Brian Capoccia, an engineering freshman, who frequents the Markley computer center said he wished the center would stay open later than midnight. Students working on papers echoed Capoccia's complaint. In addition to computers, software such as MacWrite and MacDraw will be available for checkout at the residence halls. Some students expressed concern that noise generated from the center would be disruptive. "We're concer- ned about the noise levels and the number of hours the center would operate. The wall separating the co- mputer center from our room is only a temporary wall," said John Van Tiem, an LSA freshman. But Addis said the center will be soundproof. Most resident hall stations, excluding Fletcher, Couzens, Stockwell, and West Quad are removed from residence corridors. "The students seem to like the new computer sites," Addis said. "Although not overly crowded, the workstations are being used every night." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .., . 4. .: ', \' ..... y.. ,. ,...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..':..a.-..n..Yv.. o wn. School of Education By STEVEN HERZ University School of Education Dean Carl Berger predicted the school will eventually adopt a proposal to restructure teaching degree requirements and force many educators to complete graduate work. Berger did not set a time table for the changes, which he advocated as a member of the Holmes Group, a national organization of 40 University education deans. IN A recent report entitled "Tomorrow's Teachers," group members proposed setting up categories for educators: "Career professionals," "professional teachers," and "Instructors." "Career Professionals," according to Berger, would be required to com- plete both undergraduate and graduate work and show "proven ex- cellence" on proficiency exams given at various stages of their careers. Currently, education students are only required to take a two year un- dergraduate program that gives them a certificate they can use to teach elementary or secondary school. The new plan's second category, however, would also produce instruc- tors who have completed un- dergraduate and graduate work. These teachers, called "professionals," would comprise the bulk of the teaching force, and could may chang eventually move up if they score high enough on proficiency exams. "INSTRUCTORS" would have the same undergraduate credentials as today's teachers. This group, Berger says, would help ease an upcoming national teacher shortage caused by a high turnover rate. Education school student Tom Marx said he adamently opposes the stratification plan because it will keep students in the classroom longer, causing severe financial burdens. "Most apprentices in other fields get paid," said Marx, who asserted; that teachers must receive payments for the plan to work. Marx wondered where the educaton teaching degree requirements school will get money for the new plan. "Maybe they should dismantle a Trident submarine," he said, adding that "it'll be a great day when the schools have all the books and the air force has to hold bake sales." Berger agreed that finding more money - he could not estimate how much - to implement the program would prove difficult. "THE PRESIDENT and the vice president have said we have limited funds .., and as you know federal funs for student loans are being cut," he said. The School of Education has already endured a financial squeeze caused by the University's five-year -U1 plan, which reallocated funds to higher priority units such as engineering. The $20 million funding cut has lowered the number of education school classes to 170 from a previous high of 485. When and if the new program is im- plemented, it will produce three main effects, according to Berger. * Salaries will go up because qualified teachers will be sought after by the better schools which pay more. * The plan will provide a career ladder for teachers, many of whom will not be forced to move into ad- ministrative positions. Those who have reached the "Career Professional" level will be qualified enough to vary their classes, and * More qualified teachers will stay in the profession instead of moving in- to administrative positions. Berger was not as interested in another key part of the report that called for education schools to place greater emphasis on liberal arts cour- ses. "We encourage our students to get their degrees in Math, Science, in their own disciplines," Berger said. He attributed this philosophy to the college's decreasing number of cour- ses. ":University employing highest number of women senior faculty (Continued from Page 1) based her comments on information received from other schools after her report was prepared. The black percentage of the Univer- sity's senior faculty now stands at 2.5 percent. At the assistant professor level, blacks stand at 4.5 percent. . ACCORDING TO Nordby, search commitees and administrators recruiting black faculty have heavily relied on several areas of the Univer- sity that "recruit like magnets because of their already established and reputable black faculty."

Although the affirmative action report, covers all areas of instruc- tional and non-instructioal em- ployment, Nordy said "there's a lot of emphasis upon faculty because they are a core of the University." The increase in female senior faculty was not without its cost to the percentage of assistant female professors, which is at 27.9 percent, its lowest level in nine years. This is not a grave concern to Nor- dby, though. "If we discover that we are not utilizing an available pool, we set ourselves a goal that usually ob- tains progress," she said. Nordby also noted that a significant number of women have been appoin- ted to some of the University's highest posts in the past year. They included Vice President for Research, Linda Wilson, School of Art Dean Mar- jorie Levy, and Lynn Conway, an associate dean in the College of Enginerering. In the professional non-faculty group there were two notable changes. The number of Asian em- ployees increased from 4 to 4.6 per- cent, while Hispanic professional non- faculty employees increased from .6 to .9 percent. Black women and em- ployees in this group decreased slightly in percentage. Council releases emergency procedures* (Continued from Page 1) Previous code proposals put forth by the administration and other University Councils gave the Univer- sity the power to punish students in all cases of civil disobedience, and was one of the main points of opposition used by students opposing the code. The emergency procedures, the draft says, are intended to "provide a rational and human means for protec- ting members of the University com- munity from violent acts, including arson. "THE INTENT is not to punish those who come under the jursidiction of such procedures." The University would be able to, in effect, suspend students who are ac- cused of committing a violent crime. The students would have the right to appeal. These punishments, which range from counseling to barring contact with others and from University buildings, would last a maximum of 14 days. Within that time, councilmembers said, the University would have to begin a hearing to decide whether punishments should be continued. A four member hearing board - made up of two students, one faculty member, and one University ad- ministrator - would have the power to impose sanctions for a maximum of another 14 weeks. The University could ask the board to meet again af- ter that tome to discuss extending punishments another 14 weeks. These limited sanctions address student concerns about the University being able to expel a student for a non- academic crime. Studetns had been concerned about the University being able to remove students who were politically active. The University, however, could im- pose sanctions that would be the equivalent of a suspension. Learn to live with someone who's living with cancer. Call us.
