The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 18, 1987 - Page 5 IPPS conference focuses on global affairs (Continued from Page 1) the emerging field of public policy as a practical way to apply education to the surrounding world. Last week's conference on "Effects of U.S. Policy on Inter- national Economic Development" provided an opportunity to learn about U.S. trade, aid, and in- vestment policy, while also empha- sizing one of the major aspects of the institute's program - student involvement. For the past three years, IPPS students have planned and pro- grammed such a conference from its inception to its concluding remarks. Although the program is divided into both domestic and international studies, this is the first year that the now annual student conference has focused upon global issues. Featuring Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Mich), chairman of the house subcommittee on Africa, the conference focused upon topics ranging from agricultural policy to the Carribean Basin Initiative. "It was a great success for not only for the institute, but also for the University and community," said Dan Swanson, co-chair of the conference and a second-year IPPS student. "Looking at U.S. policy with an international perspective was a great way for the international part of the institute to spread its wings," Swanson added. Traditionally, two-thirds of IPPS students concentrate upon domestic issues, while only one-third focus We have a o percent attrtion rate brcause of the tremendous services that students, faculty, and alumni provide for each other. .z . n a Yolanda Lizabri-Marino assistant director of student affairs, IPPS the program: "We have a 0 percent attrition rate because of the tre- mendous support services that stu- dents, faculty, and alumni provide for each other. "This cohesive program tends to act like a big family," she added. The institute is a program, not a school, with approximately 25 faculty members who must be appointed and teaching in another department - usually economics, political science, or engineering. "In a way we are trying to train what we can't hire, but it also has its advantages," said Courant, re- ferring to the program's inability to hire a public policy specialist over upon the global perspective. This year, though, half of the program's participants are involved in the international arena. This represents a change from when IPPS first took over the Institute for Public Administration, which had been established in 1914. In those days, the institute was the first in the country to educate city managers with such a program of public administration, but now IPPS had taken a distinction with a more global perspective. "Many students never consider public policy, but it's exactly what they would want to get into to apply what they are learning," Swanson said. According to Yolanda Lizabri- Marino, assistant director for stu- dent affairs, IPPS students stay in an economist. "Because none of the faculty can exclusively identify with the institute, it encourages the students to take more of an active part in defining what thoy want their education to be," he added. tAZERGRAHIC$ U COPfING 8PRINTING l BINDING a FORMS oIphburaphio Prntshops Of The Future COPIES Open 7 Days GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 663-6816 715 N.

Accprding to Grotrian, student lobbying has been effective in the past in derailing legislation unfa- vorable for the University. He said in 1982 student pressure reduced a proposed 50 percent cut in appro- priations to an actual cut of 5 per- cent for the University. "There's nothing like student presence in Washington," Grotrian said. Business School junior John Gaber, University lobbyist and treasurer of the Michigan Student Assembly, said he and the other eight University students not only lobbied against aid cuts but also lobbied for legislation beneficial to students. He said the University contin- gent lobbied for pieces of legis- lation that would repeal the taxation of scholarships, grants, and interest payments on student loans. The students also lobbied in favor of Speaker of the House Jim Wright's (D-Texas) budget proposal that calls for $1.3 billion increase for higher education. MSA President Kurt Muenchow, another lobbyist, said he felt his and other student's efforts were effective in gaining support against Reagan's proposal because the stu- dents were able to tell legislators in person the effects of the cuts.
