Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 21, 1987 LSA students turn to computers for assistance IN BRIEF (Continued from Page 1) impossible with typewriters or through longhand. Many have raised objections, however, to conducting English classes in computer labs. Some teachers feel that their jobs are mi- nimized because with available soft- ware students can practice grammar without an instructor, Jessup said. She rejects the idea that com- puters will ever be used in that capacity. "Our philosophical orien- tation is towards writing rather than isolated exercises, and the instruc- tors will still be relied on to do the teaching," she said. Another concern among both students and faculty is that class- rooms may become too mechan- ized. Schriner discounts this, how- ever, saying computer labs will facilitate closer student and teacher interaction. She points out that a program called CONFER enables students to send messages to other students as well as their instructor. "Instruction in this sense be- comes more personalized and there- fore more constructive," she said. PERHAPS the biggest prob- lem facing English department computer labs is space. Currently seven English 125 and 225 sections use computer labs weekly. In order for everyone in English writing courses to be able to use computers 250 sections would have to be accomodated each year, Schriner said. Overall, the use of computers to write compositions is a good idea, according to students. "I found that with the use of computers, it was a lot easier to make changes and even though computers didn't make me a better writer, it did make my work better," said first-year LSA student Michael Rotker. Jessup agreed with that assessment, saying, "Computers don't make a person a better writer, they just make the person's work more effective and the more a person uses the computer, the more confidence they'll have in it, which will only make their work that much better." SCHRINER SAID the Uni- versity has an obligation to find out about computer usage. "We owe it to students and if we don't keep up with the times, we are doing them a major disservice. We want to make computer access much more open to everyone," she said. According to the Assistant to the Vice Provost for Information Technology, Virginia Rezmierski, "There is activity to plan electronic classes in LSA. We want to have the ratio of students to computers continue decreasing so people don't have to wait in huge lines come the end of the semester." Now Leasing For The Fall!

S. deports alleged Nazi WASHINGTON - Karl Linnas, facing a Soviet death sentence on charges of supervising Nazi concentration camp executions, was being deported to the Soviet Union yesterday after the Supreme Court and the Justice Department turned down his bids to remain in the United States, government sources said. Linnas was taken from his New York jail cell by federal agents, and government sources , commenting on condition of anonymity, said he was being flown to the Soviet Union, after a stopover in Czechoslovakia. He was being taken out of the United States hours after the Supreme Court rejected Linnas' bid to delay his deportation while his lawyers hunted for another country that would accept him. Richard Olson, executive assistant at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, told reporters that Linnas left the jail about 4:30 p.m. EDT. Lawyer for administration condemns WWII internment WASHINGTON - The Reagan adminstration said yesterday the World War II detention of Japanese-Americans in U.S. prison camps shamed the nation, but it still urged the Supreme Court to kill a lawsuit stemming from the the internment. Solicitor General Charles Fried, the administration's top-ranking courtroom lawyer, argued that "ordinary rules of law" should apply to. the lawsuit "no matter how much balm we would like to apply to the wound." .He said a 1983 suit, which seeks compensation for property losses suffered by those imprisoned, was filed in the wrong federal court and was filed too late. Michigan's schools face serious fmancial problems LANSING - Michigan schools are having a tough time making ends meet for reasons ranging from a decline in farmland value to lower iron ore prices, top school officials told a state panel yesterday. All districts have one common need - more money. "We've still got textbooks that talk about when man reaches the. moon," Chesaning Superintendent Bob Rhodes told the Michigan School Finance Commission. "We haven't purchased any library materials for five years." "We need to add staff yet we may consider layoffs for 88-89," said Grayling Superintendent Kent Reynolds. "We can't possibly keep pace with inflation, let alone address our crowded elementary classes." Plan may close liquor stores LANSING - Unionized liquor store workers and some store owners are complaining about a plan to overhaul the way Michigan runs its wholesale liquor operation. The Liquor Control Commission believes it eventually could save as much as $30 million a year by shutting down 60 state-owned retail stores replacing them with five wholesale warehouses. The state would contract with five private trucking companies to move the liquor from the warehouses to drop points, where individual stores would pick up their booze supplies. State liquor outlets would be phased out gradually, taking up to five years. Thirteen outlets in the Grand Rapids area will be first to close. The plan would help the state save money by reducing inventories and eliminating the need to lease some buildings. EXTRAS High school activists protest code of academic clothing COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Students at Cheyenne Mountain High School are being allowed to wear shorts to class this week because of a mini-protest. Boys thought it unfair that they couldn't wear shorts, so about 25 of them showed up Friday sporting mini-skirts. "Girls are allowed to wear miniskirts, and they show a lot of leg," senior Greg Carter said. "That's the point. It's hot and we want to be just as comfortable." Another protesting senior, Mike Kalandros, found out that mini-skirts are "comfortable when you get used to 'em." The protesters met with Principal Eldon Helm and were allowed into class wearing skirts. Starting yesterday, all students were to be allowed to wear shorts - on a weeklong, trial basis, with Helm keeping watch. "There are shorts and there are shorts," Helm said. "It's one thing when a student wears shorts and another when a student wears cutoffs where their underwear hangs out." Some of the girls were keeping watch during the boys' protest. "I think they look real good," said sophomore Susan Sockman. Vol. XCVII - No. 138 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms.
