LOCAL/STATE Dual degrees offer varety, flexibility Picture of hope IASA electi votes Melanie Sampson or the Daily Students who can't decide on a single centration or choose a favorite ween competing fields of study are pting to go the extra mile and major in wo disciplines. Two options are available for students nterested in pursuing two different fields it the University - choose one concen- ration or enroll in two schools within the Jniversity. Although the later option akes longer, some students are willing to lo the extra-work. If a student's passion lies in two differ- schools, a joint or dual degree >etween schools may be necessary. [hese often take five years to obtain and major, but only a handful complete a joint degree between two schools. Judge said most student requests for a dual or joint degree are granted under the condition that they maintain a 3.0 GPA. It is possible to get a joint degree between any of the schools, but some schools, including the School of Business Administration, are more difficult. Wendy Wyte, an LSA academic advis- er, generally encounters students going into the health profession such as physi- cal therapy, nursing or medicine. She finds many of her students often choose a foreign language as an area of study in addition to a science concentration. "They are looking to get a special pre- med background but they have an affini- ty for that lan- guage," Wyte magine said. . M « "I think it equire more han 150 cred- ts.

"There was a limited nu ure of myself ugh to ursue a career in art - it's not very sta- le," said LSA first-year student Josh 3and, a computer science concentrator vho plans to apply to the School of Art nd Design next year. Ater speaking with an LSA adviser, 3and discussed his plans with an Art and )esign adviser and a computer science idviser in the College of Engineering. He resented his case to the Academic adards Board for approval. His plan approved on the condition that he omplete the requirements for both con- entrations and gains admission to the School of Art and Design. I want to work for a computer science company, dealing possibly with 3-D ani- mation, movies, special effects, multime- dia;' Band said. Band acknowledged the vast differ- ences between the two programs he plans ,pursue. Computer science is "all logic and the School of Art (and Design) is cre- ative, kind of opposite side of the spec- trum, different sides of the brain," Band said. Charles Judge, a member of the LSA Academic Standards Board, said that 20- 25 percent of LSA students double adding, "It can be useful because being fluent in a language is an asset." Engineering and LSA senior Matt Niedlinger entered the University as an industrial and operations engineering concentrator. After his sophomore year he decided to study abroad in Germany. Niedlinger said it typically takes most engineering students about four and a half years to graduate. He estimates it will take him about five and a half years to graduate, adding his extra year in Germany. Niedlinger said he hopes to unite his two concentrations after graduation. Engineering senior Jordan Jonas, who has a double major within the School of Engineering said limited course avail- ability may keep her in school for five years. She took an introductory material sci- ence class and declared a concentration in that area. Later she had an internship in mechanical engineering and chose to major in that field too. "I was kind of worried I would end up doing something I didn't like (with one major)," Jonas said. "When I graduate, it will open a lot of doors for me."

Candidates file campaign ex LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Assisted suicide advo- cate Geoffrey Fieger has bankrolled his Democratic run for governor with a$1 million promissory note, according to campaign rieports filed yesterday. Fieger said he's been out making quite a few speeches to Democratic groups, and plans a serious campaign. "Right now, it looks like I have to do it. If(Democratic candidates) Doug Ross or Larry Owen could beat (Republican incumbent) John Engler, I wouldn't even think about running. But I think I'm the only one," Fieger said yesterday from his Southfield law office. Fieger's campaign records show he has not yet received the $ million. He had raised $1,525 from other sources by Dec. 31, and spent $123 so far on his campaign, but said he's still far ahead of Democratic competitors because he won't have to spend money getting his name known by the voters. His work defending Dr. Jack Kevorkian has given him all the name recognition he needs. "Doug Ross and Lay Owen could both spend 10 times the money they have and not have the name recognition that I do," Fieger said. Even with the loan, Fieger had a way to go to beat Engler's fund-raising efforts.
