Ed. students may work
in low-income areas

By SCOTT BOWLES
Students in the School of Education may be
teaching and doing field work in urban and rural low-
income areas if a new proposal receives sufficient
funding.
The Undergraduate School of Education Student
Organization (USESO) and Dean Carl Berger
submitted the Individualized Teacher Certification
Program to Vice President James Duderstadt's office.
The proposal may be eligible for support under
Duderstadt's Undergraduate Initiatives Fund. The fund,
established in January, is designed to provide money
for new academic programs.
The purpose of the proposal is twofold: to prepare
students for teaching in low-income communites, and
to emphasize collaboration and integration with
educational leaders, such as administrators and
parents, in those communities.
PROGRAM COORDINATOR Jessica Good -
man, an LSA junior, said her group went before the
School of Education executive committee with the
proposal in early March and, after the committee's
approval and a budget revision, submitted the plan
April 1.
Berger said funding of the proposal, which asks for
an annual budget of about $86,000, would add a new
dimension to the School of Education.
"Under our current organization, we can't place
some students in certain areas to teach," Berger said.
"They can't go to Saginaw or Detroit, or even small

farm communities. We don't have the transportation.
To keep costs down, we have to keep most of the
students centered around Ann Arbor schools."
According to the nine-page proposal, $16,200
would pay to transport students to the schools via
carpool and University vehicles.
BERGER said he expects a decision around May
1. He said if the project is approved, he will imple-
ment it by next fall.
"We're quite proud of our undergraduates who
carried this through," Berger said. "It's going to
provide more individualized programs. It's going to
provide better teachers."
The benefits, however, may extend beyond
improved instructors; one of the project's goals is to
change the structure of education in poor areas.
"The challenges of education in low-income
communities require new solutions," the proposal
said. "A lack of community resources, racism and
class-ism... too often result in student alienation from
academic endeavor, rejection of one's cultural and
historical heritage, and students' view of themselves
as objects in the world rather than as actors."
Goodman, who helped write the proposal, said
training teachers in other communities could also
have an impact on a recent sensitive issue at the
University.
"The project could develop a better rapport with
schools in Detroit, which could aid in minority
enrollment here," she said.

Clarence Pendelton, chair of the
U.S. Civil Rights Commission,
led the demand for a full and public
apology. Pendelton maintains that
no nationally relevant apology has
been made, though CBS has
apologizied.
"An apology at the University of
Pennsylvania doesn't do much good
to people in L.A. unless it was
made available nationally," said
Pendelton's press secretary, Tom
Olson.
Wallace's objectivity has also
been questioned over a proposed "60
Minutes" expose of the deplorable

conditions in Haiti.
Wallace asked that the Haiti
story be cancelled, fearing pressure
might be put on his wife, who was
living there. Wallace also owned a
house and business in Haiti at the
time.
MORLEY SAFER, the
reporter who initiated the story,
reportedly said Wallace had "leaned

on him very hard" to stop the
investigation.
Wallace said in an interview
yesterday that it would be impos-
sible for him to influence his col-
leagues to suppress a story.
Wallace said anyone familiar
with his life and work for the past
35 years would not call him a
racist.

Victor wants to see the

dealing with issues of peace and
justice. She said groups such as
Greeks for Peace, the Free South
Africa Coordinating Committee
(FSACC), the United Coalition
Against Racism (UCAR), and
MSA's military research advisors
could share knowledge and re -
sources.

"There is a problem of lack of
communication, leading to mis -

"I think if people work together we
can dispel a lot of the fear."
Engineering sophomore Terry
Young, co-chair of the committee,
agrees that conferences and com-
munication are needed on campus.
"I came to the University pretty
naive to the world and conservative

shocked to find out some of the
things that were going on, espe -
cially in the case of Central
America."
