The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 15, 1989 - Page 3 Program promotes careers In health BY LAURA COUNTS LSA junior Annette Waters had- never considered a career in hospital administration until a friend told her, "It's you. You just don't know it yet, but it's you." So she applied for an internship in the Health Services Administra- tion Summer Enrichment Program, and spent last summer as an intern for a high level administrator in the Detroit Receiving Hospital. One of her many responsibilities was acting as a liaison between doctors and pa- tient's families in the emergency room. School of Public Health faculty member Richard Lichtenstein started the program four years ago to recruit minority students into a field they may never have considered - Health Services Administration. There are many jobs in health services that do not involve clinical work, said Lichtenstein, and admin- istrators have a huge impact on health care. Minorities are seriously underrepresented, holding only about 12% of top level administrative po- sitions in the Detroit area, he said. "Some people would argue that members of minority groups are able to run institutions in predominantly minority areas with greater sensitiv- ity to those minorities," Lichten- stein said. Through the program, undergrad- uates are placed in hospitals and health care faculties in Ann Arbor and Detroit to work closely with administrators. Interns receive a salary and learn the job demands of administrators firsthand: they go to meetings, and generally do every- thing the administrator does. "They MSA to hold symposium on campus safety BY LISA FROMM Last fall, two men were stabbed near the steps of the Union. Last month, several students' rooms in Alice Lloyd residence hall were bur- glarized. And thus far this school year, many women were reported raped on campus. Incidents such as these have prompted the Michigan Student As- sembly to set up two safety sympo- siums to discuss problems and pos- sible solutions, the first of which is tonight at 8 p.m. MSA's communications committee has invited about 115 student groups to attend the sympo- siums, but are encouraging all stu- dents to attend. Students will be broken down into small groups to "brainstorm," said Gretchen Walker, vice chair of the committee. A key reason for the symposium, Walker said, is to unify the ap- proaches various groups have taken to try and improve safety conditions on campus. Now, for instance, "a sorority will say we need more lighting, and a women's group will say we need better transportation." To meet all safety needs, groups have to work together and present a unified front, Walker said. Bell added, "It's time for students to band together to do something about it." Walker said MSA also plans Ao ask students questions such as: "What places on campus are unsafe? Do you see safety officers around? Are services such as Safe Walk, Nite Owl, emergency phones effective?" "We're not going in with any pte conceived ideas; we want to hear what students have to say," Walker said. "We have some broad questions - we want input on them." MSA invited groups like Interco- operative Council, the Panhellenic Association, individual fraternities and sororities, dorm councils, minority and ethnic organizations, and politically and socially active organizations, Walker said. Tonight's meeting, which will deal with campus safety problems, will be in the Michigan Union Kuenzel Room, and Monday's ses- sion dealing with possible solutions (also at 8 p.m.) will be held in the Union's Anderson Room.

In addition, each intern works on a special project designed with the help of Lichtenstein. Third year Inteflex student Denise White, who interned at Mount Carmel Hospital in Detroit last summer, worked on getting head in- jury patients into rehabilitation cen- ters. She said her internship "opened her eyes to issues in public health." In Waters' internship, she de- signed a directory system simple enough to enable children to find their way around Detroit Receiving hospital. This was a difficult task, she said, given the complexity of the building. Waters praised the summer pro- gram. "It wasn't like they put us in a hospital and left us there," she said, adding that there was a lot of communication between herself and Lichtenstein. The program's popularity is evi- dent; competition for admission is high. Last year, 14 interns were se- lected from a pool of 83 applicants. Past participants have been predominantly University students, but the program accepts applications nationwide. "We want student perspectives on the real problems - what they are, where they are, and what can be done to solve them," Communications Chair Robert Bell said. Following the second meeting, which will take place on Monday night, Bell and Walker will draft a proposal from the compiled information and send it to the Uni- versity's Board of Regents, other administrators, and public safety of- ficials. In addition, they will send copies to Ann Arbor City Councilmembers and police officials, Bell said. He expects the proposal to be completed by mid-March.

Performances MOSCOW (AP) - President Mikhail Gor- bachev emerged from nearly a month out of the public eye yesterday to tell the nation the Soviet leadership still has sharp differences over his re- forms but remains committed to them. In a 17-minute speech to industrial, construc- tion and transport workers that led the evening television news, Gorbachev said his perestroika program had solved many problems in political, economic and social life. But he said perestroika itself had created many problems. "Now we see how difficult the new problems are," he told workers at the Communist Party Central Committee offices. "Not everything is simple, not without abnormalities. Life is tense, both economic and social life and in work collectives and the party." Gorbachev, who is party general secretary as well as president, has said before that the Krem- lin leadership doesn't always see eye-to-eye. Yesterday, however, he gave a more detailed ex- planation of the discord over perestroika. "In the beginning, as a matter of fact, it even flabbergasted us. I will say that we also didn't know everything, that is those who are sitting here next to you," said Gorbachev, flanked by nine of the 13 members of the ruling Politburo. "Even we can't know everything and are still figuring out what's what. But all the same, from. this exchange (of opinions), sometimes the sharpest of exchanges - which as a matter of fact are continuing - we crystalized the conclu- sions which make up the foundations of pere- stroika." Sitting immediately to Gorbachev's left was Yegor Ligachev, the Politburo member who has been lukewarm to some of the Soviet leader's re- forms. Gorbachev last appeared in public Jan. 21, when he spoke to a Moscow party conference. Yesterday, he spoke without notes and waved his fist for emphasis. Soviet TV listed dozens of other speakers at the meeting, but did not broadcast their remarks or Gorbachev's responses. He touched the familiar themes of the impor- tance of the individual in making his overhaul of society work, and he criticized those who suggest reforms that go against the grain of socialism. Riegle wants budget increase for WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Donald Riegle of Michigan has asked for a 52 percent increase in money to run the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, Senate staffers said yes- terday. . Riegle, a Democrat, took over leadership of the committee in Jan- uary. Budgets for the 18 Senate com- mittees must be approved by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, which began hearing spending requests last week. Riegle's request of $2.56 million for the year beginning March 1 is 51.5 percent higher than the banking committee's 1988 budget of $1.69 million. "The committee was understaffed for an appreciable period of time, and in 1989 is confronted with... major legislative issues, starting with the savings and loan issue," said Kevin Gottleib, the banking committee's chief of staff. "In order to complete the legisla- tion accurately and adequately, addi- tional staff were needed," Gottlieb said. Other issues before the committee include the soaring debt of third- world nations and corporate takeovers. Riegle's budget request would pay for the hiring of 16 staff members, Twelve of the new aides would be professionals, rather than clerical "If Wakefield doesn't want it, other communities still are willing to take the camp," said Jim Loren- son, secretary for the Gogebic.

The economic commission supports building a prison camp within Gogebic County, he said. committee Wakefield was among severil communities to propose almost a dozen locations for the state work camp, Lorneson said. Yet Wakefield citizens angered by the proposal presented a petition to force the city council to call yester- day's vote.
