NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 13, 2005 - 7A "GATES Continued from page 1A And as technology continues to evolve and new markets are developed abroad, Gates not only anticipates the demand for computer sci- entists will grow, but that the importance of the field will become even more far-reaching. "We are entering the golden age," Gates said on the various new emerging technologies he believes will streamline facets of everyday life. From portable tablet PCs that will become the next generation of textbooks to mobile phones that can translate languages, Gates said com- puter scientists are on the frontier of innovation because they make new technologies a reality. He added that unlike the stereotypical image of a computer scientist locked in a cubicle, most simply do not just program computer codes, but work through interacting with co-workers and consumers to create products. "For me it's the most fun field to be in. It's the most interesting time that there's ever been," Gates said. In a press conference, Gates said to increase interest in the computer science, Microsoft has been partnering with universities to improve the image of the field among college students, while also attempting to revamp education in lagging high schools. While Gates said college campuses are at the forefront of using new technologies in the classroom, he added that learning would most likely only become digitized to a point. Gates added that the social interactions avail- able only in a classroom setting are necessary to facilitate education. "It's not the minute the lectures are on the web, they go, 'Well that's all I need. Why should I pay tuition? I'm just going to live at home'." Although Gates would not comment on Google's bid to digitize the University librar- ies' collections, he said, "I think Google is try- ing to go on the thing, 'Okay we'll do it unless you object,' whereas they should probably do it on the basis, 'Okay we'll do it when we get permission to do it'." Gate's speech at the University was for the Goff Smith Lecture, the highest external honor given by the College of Engineering, awarded for outstanding achievement in science and engineering. Martha Pollack, associate chair for the department of electrical engineering and com- puter science, said of the lecture, "It was in contrast to what you read in the media. The IT industry is thriving." Engineering junior Alexis Mackenzie said, "It's definitely important to get more people to go into (electrical engineering and computer science), especially more girls." TICKETS Continued from page 1A tion in order to retain their tickets. According to the Athletic Department, the preferred seating program affects approximately 31 percent of seats in Michigan Stadium and about 45 percent of season ticket holders. Duderstadt called the program "extortion" because it requires people to pay for something - the right to buy tickets - that would normal- ly be free. The program is being phased in over a two- year period, so this year season ticket holders were only required to pay half the normal fee. Six percent of football season ticket holders did not renew their tickets this year. Usually, the number of people who give up their seats is closer to one or two percent, said Joseph Park- er, associate athletic director for development. Parker said a little fewer than 900 people said they couldn't afford the new fee but would like to move to seats that did not require a fee. "When you look at what has happened at other schools (when they implemented similar pro- grams), we were pleased that so many people decided to stick with us and support Michigan football," Parker said about people giving up their seats. In addition to the preferred seating program, the Athletic Department this year made a one- time offer to season ticket holders to transfer their tickets to someone else for a fee of $500. Season tickets are normally non-transferable. The Athlet- ic Department had 12,000 seat transfers this year - throughout the stadium, not just in the sections with the fee from the preferred seating program. The transfer program brought in $6 million, but Duderstadt expressed concern that corporations, and not Michigan fans and alumni, will own the majority of seats in Michigan Stadium. Prof. Jens Zorn and his wife have taught at the University for more than 30 years - and they have had four season tickets since they arrived. Zorn said he and his wife paid the fee this year, but they do not plan on paying it next year, when he estimates the cost will rise to $150 per person per game - more than twice what it is now - for an afternoon of watching Michigan football. "This price is well beyond what most of us could regard as reasonable cost for family enter- tainment," Zorn said. "It seems clear that the best seats in the Michigan Stadium will increasingly be populated by persons for whom cost does not really matter." Many other schools around the coun- try - including Big Ten rivals Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin - have imple- mented a required donation for the best seats in their football stadiums. At Michigan State, it is called the "scholarship seating" program because the money generated is used for scholarships, and the fee ranges from $200 to $500. Brian Long, a former president of the Univer- sity's alumni association chapter in Milwaukee, is opposed to the seat licenses because it divides the fans between the wealthy and non-wealthy. He said that when it implemented the preferred seating program, the Athletic Department justi- fied it partially by saying other universities had similar programs, but that this argument left him unconvinced. "I think Michigan has always prided itself on being a leader rather than a follower," said Long, who donates $100 each year to the University's academic side. At the same time it implemented the required donation, the Athletic Department changed the way it organized the waiting list for tickets. It used to be based on the number of years a per- son had been waiting for tickets, but now the Ath- letic Department uses a priority point system that considers other factors such as whether a person graduated from Michigan, whether he played a varsity sport, whether he has season tickets for other sports and donations to both the Athletic Department and the University. "We just decided that there's probably a better representation of a person's relation- ship with the University and the department," Parker said. the michigan daily " Broadview Apartments " Spacious 1 bedroom apartments " Spacious 2 bedrooms with master bath " Shuttle around campus " Large private balconies with wooded views " Pets welcome L~kr iIA (EXTENDEDHOURS) www.annarborapartments.net APARTMENTS, SUBLETS & Room- mates...
