The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 18, 1991 - Page 7 Shadow Program pairs 'U' alumni students for week by Natasha Goburdhun For the past four years the Stu- dent Alumni Council (SAC) has sponsored a one-week internship program that allows students to work with alumni in a field of in- terest. The Shadow Program is geared towards first- and second-year stu- dents though everyone is welcome to participate. The program allows students to work with alumni of their choice for one week in May. If both the participants agree, the pro- gram may last longer, however most find that one week is satisfac- tory. Interested students must first fill out applications and a list of three mentors they wish to work with. A series of interviews, given by the SAC, then helps place stu- dents with alumni of their choice in fields such as engineering, business, medicine and government. Although the program usually involves alumni, this year former University football coach and cur- rent Detroit Tigers president° Bo Schembechler, will participate in the area of sports management. Alumni, often difficult to keep track of, were made aware of the program through ads in the alumni magazine and letters to club presi- dents. Response from the alumni has been very positive. Many students have found it to be a helpful way to make career de- cisions before they complete their major. "It's a chance to reinforce ideas about a career or change them de- pending on your experience," said Randy Lehemer, co-vice president of the Shadow Program. LSA junior Patty Gillen worked last year with a TV news reporter in Cincinnati. She agreed that the in- ternship program was a good way to learn more about a career and rec- ommended it to other students. "It gives you first hand knowl- edge about what they do day-to- day... not just the glamorous ouput but you get to see behind the scenes what really happens," Gillen said. The SAC will hold a mass meet- ing tonight at 7 p.m. in Angell Hall Auditorium C for all interested students.

For this reason, both the relief at 'uke's loss and the apprehension about the amount of support he re- ASSAULT Continued from page 1 -f Safety and Security (DPSS) does -ave record of a rape that occurred Nov. 4, at about 9:30 p.m. in front of Hill Auditorium, their records do t show reports of either the East uad nor the Stockwell incidents. However, the woman who was assaulted in front of East Quad, who wished to remain anonymous, said she reported her assault to the secu- rity guard who was working in her dorm on Nov. 9, the morning of the incident. "After I told her my report, the security guard told me my assailant eit the description of the man who had raped and beaten another woman that evening," the East Quad assault survivor said. She added that the po- lice officer who filed the report said she thought the other incident had happened in front of Stockwell. Although DPSS officers said this weekend that all reports filed should be on record, they say they have no ecord of the assault at East Quad. DPSS spokesperson Lt. Vern Baisden did not return phone calls regarding the issue. "The Daily has also received nu- merous phone calls throughout the past week from students who had heard stories about sexual assaults in front of East Quad and Stockwell, and some had heard of instances on the Diag as well.

The project, which started as a one credit project for last year in the School of Natural Resources (SNR) mentor program, is currently run by SNR sophomore Fred Werner. Werner, with his mentor, Shereen Rothman, who was a gradu- ate student in environmental educa- tion at the time, brainstormed the workshop which eventually served as the framework for Rothman's master's thesis. Since it's inception, the Living Lightly Workshop has received a lot of exposure, Werner said. "Shereen is now doing this stuff all over the world," he said. The workshop was live lightly' also presented by Werner at the Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) conference last month in Boulder, Col..

"I'm certainly pleased that a neo-Nazi is not sitting in the gover- nor's mansion in Louisiana. That goes without saying," said Joseph Kohane, director of the Hillel Foundation. But Kohane added he was con- cerned that what happened in Louisiana could happen elsewhere in the case of economic hardship. "There is a certain percent of Americans who are not members of the Ku Klux Klan, but who harbor Center on Friday said she too had heard the stories, but had received no information from DPSS. Neither Stockwell residents nor the Housing Director, Julie Lavrack, said they had heard anything about the incident in front of their dorm. However, Lavrack said, "I heard a rumor Wednesday afternoon or Thursday that someone had gotten beaten up on the street, but I haven't heard anything more about it and Housing Security says it doesn't have any record of an assault." Ann Arbor Police Detective Michael Shubring said he has no re- port of any sexual assaults on campus. Another Ann Arbor officer noted that if there had been a series of at- tacks, University police would most likely have notified city officers. significant conservative and racist feelings, and who, when times get tough, become more overtly racist." LSA senior Devlin Ponte, presi- dent of the Black Student Union, also expressed concern about Duke's support outside of Louisiana. "Duke was getting a lot of ex- ternal aid, from outside Louisiana. This campaign and election is not only indicative of what's going on in Louisiana, but in the whole na- tion," he said. Although Duke ran as a Chris- tian Republican, most Christians and Republicans also welcomed his defeat. LSA junior Greg Morrison, an active Christian, said, "I don't want to judge the man's heart, but I would have a hard time arriving at some of the some conclusions he has, using Christianity." "I'm glad to see he lost," said 6THAVE. AT USE71400 STUDENT WITH .A.$3.50 BILLY BATHGATE i) MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO tRI COUPON COMBO!
