.PARKS
Continued from page 1
Parks died in 1977.
Parks became a revered fig-
ure in Detroit, where a street and
middle school were named for
her and a paper-mache likeness
of her was featured in the city's
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Parks said upon retiring from
her job with Conyers that she
wanted to devote more time to the
Rosa and Raymond Parks Insti-
tute for Self Development. The
institute, incorporated in 1987, is
devoted to developing leadership
among Detroit's young people
and initiating them into the strug-
gle for civil rights.
"Rosa Parks: My Story" was
published in February 1992.
In 1994 she brought out "Quiet
Strength: The Faith, the Hope
and the Heart of a Woman Who
Changed a Nation," and in 1996 a
collection of letters called "Dear
Mrs. Parks: A Dialogue With
Today's Youth."
She was among the civil rights
leaders who addressed the Million
Man March in October 1995.
In 1996, she received the Presi-
dential Medal of Freedom, award-
ed to civilians making outstanding
contributions to American life.
In 1999, she was awarded the
Congressional Gold Medal, the
nation's highest civilian honor.
Parks received dozens of other
awards, ranging from induc-
tion into the Alabama Academy
of Honor to an NAACP Image
Award for her 1999 appearance
on CBS' "Touched by an Angel."
The Rosa Parks Library and
Museum opened in November
2000 in Montgomery. The muse-
um features a 1955-era bus and a
video that recreates the conversa-
tion that preceded Parks' arrest.
"Are you going to stand up?"
the bus driver asked.
"No," Parks answered.
"Well, by God, I'm going to have
you arrested," the driver said.
"You may do that," Parks
responded.
BROOKS
Continued from page 1
as a place welcoming to all types of Jews,"
said Jeffrey Schlussel, a University alum
and former chair of the Hillel Board of
Trustees.
"I think it can be seriously argued that
Michael has trained more Jewish leaders in
the last 25 years than anyone else," Schlus-
sel added. "In my activities within the Jew-
ish world, I run into more people who got
their start and passion for Jewish involve-
ment in Ann Arbor."
LSA junior Perry Teicher, a member of
Hillel's governing board, said that when
he became involved with Hillel his fresh-
man year, he was immediately touched by
Brooks's genuine interest in and support of
students' lives. "He doesn't talk to you with
the sole goal of getting you involved with
Hillel," Teicher said. "He comes forward
with advice and critiques, but he doesn't
push things to be the way he wants. He helps
people develop their own ideas and find out
what they can contribute."
Schlussel said Brooks has greatly influ-
enced the Jewish community by encourag-
ing people to look at problems from different
perspectives. "He is one of the most origi-
nal thinkers I've ever met when it comes
to issues related to the Jewish community,
and whether one agrees with him or not, he
forces you to seriously consider and cogitate
on these many significant issues facing our
community," he said. "He has taught me
what it means to be a leader and member of
the Jewish community.
Williams - who gave the keynote address
at the honorary brunch - agreed, saying
that over the years, Brooks has become a
core part of the "collective conscious" of the
University community. In the discussion of
issues such as race, class and religion, Wil-
liams said, Brooks speaks with a deeply
moral and passionate commitment that
demands responsibility and honesty from
the individual. "Michael's voice is clear,
insightful and uncompromisingly honest,"
Williams said. "He sees things without pre-
judgment and also encourages others to look
with just and equitable eyes."
Those who know him say Brooks pre-
fers to make a difference without attract-
ing the attention or praise of others. "He
is far too humble to take credit for any of
these successes, but most of them were
directly caused by his work and ideas,"
Schlussel said. "He is a quiet leader with
a large impact."
Ask Brooks about his role and influence
within the Jewish community, and his modesty
and lack of self-interest is apparent, as he inevi-
tably focuses on the contributions of others.
"Meeting, learning with, challenging
and being challenged by students is the
best part of what I do," Brooks said. "Stay-
ing in touch with hundreds of alumni and
watching them continue to translate what
they learned at Michigan in their own lives,
institutions and communities is both inspir-
ing and humbling."
Brooks added that the Jewish community
has its own distinct contributions to make
to the world, one of which is the ability to
demonstrate that it is possible to engage
in passionate debate while maintaining
respect for all viewpoints.
"If the Jewish community and the Univer-
sity can become a paradigm for that kind of
community, it would be our collective gift to
the world,' Brooks said. "And to the extent that
I have had an impact on the culture of both of
these communities, then my years here will
have been well spent. I can only hope that when
I leave, which one day I will, it will be several
weeks before anyone notices that I'm gone."

their own educations."
During the meeting, Asian Lan-
guages Department Chair Nancy
Florida reminded her fellow faculty
members that the issue at hand was
not voting between requiring stu-
dents to acquire fourth-semester
proficiency in one language or sec-
ond-semester proficiency in two but
whether they should give students a
choice between the two.
According to a LSA-SG online
survey taken by 1,204 students
in September, respondents who
expressed interest in the four most
popular languages at the Univer-
sity - French, Spanish, German
and Italian - outnumbered stu-
dents who were interested in any
of the other languages offered
578 to 117.
In the same survey, a little more
than 60 percent of students said they
would take advantage of the two-
and-two option to satisfy their lan-
guage requirement if it was offered.

ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Be aware that you feel intensely about
everything in your life right now. That's
OK; it's just the way things are. A month
from now, you'll be more mellow.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Without question, now and in the next
few weeks your focus on partnerships
and close friends is heightened. You'll
learn more about what you really want
(and what you don't).
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
It's easiest to work when the urge
moves you. And you've got the urge
right now! Roll up your sleeves and
tackle whatever needs to be cleaned,
organized and sorted out. (This urge lasts
for four to five weeks.)
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
You feel unusually playful and roman-
tic right now. Not only are you more in
touch with your creative talents, you're
also sympathetic to children. This is
good.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Home, family and real estate matters
continue to occupy your mind and your
energy. Work to make repairs at home
where needed. Work to improve family
relationships as well.

because this is a strong time for your
sign.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
With both the Sun and Mercury in
your sign for the next few weeks, you
can really express yourself well! Go tell
it on the mountain.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You need rest! It's as simple as that.
However, you might have to work hard
now too. Therefore, work by yourself as
much as possible.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Friends, groups, clubs and associa-
tions are playing a major role in your life
now and in the immediate future. Form
working units. Cooperate with others.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
People notice you more than usual
right now. If you're asked to accept
increased responsibilities for something,
do so. (You'll do fine!)
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You've got the travel bug this month.
And those of you who are not traveling
are focused on publishing, higher educa-
tion and the media.

to-earth in a no-nonsense, practical way.
Others rely on you. You have solid val-
