CASS TECH
Continued from page 1A
in the halls of the high school throughout the
year.
In addition to holding presentations about
the University aimed at Cass seniors, the
recruiters talk with younger students about the
benefits of attending college and offer individ-
ual advising appointments. They also schedule
trips to campus so students can see the Univer-
sity firsthand.
"Part of our mission is to be accessible and
visible in Detroit," Winfrey said.
Most important, Winfrey said, is develop-
the michigan daily
ing personal relationships with principals,
counselors, teachers and parents in addition to
students.
He said recruiters often go back three or
more times to help establish these relation-
ships, which is especially critical for urban
students who are first generation of their fami-
lies to attend college. In the suburbs, recruiters
are not as visible within the schools - often
doing one presentation and sending a follow-
up e-mail.
"It takes a lot more legwork" to recruit in
Detroit than in the suburbs, Winfrey said.
One of Winfrey's assets is his own history.
A Cass Tech alum, he has a fierce allegiance to
the school and is not seen as an outsider when
he recruits. He said his goal is to help students
get into a good college, not just the University
of Michigan.
"You have the responsibility of taking a stu-
dent from one chapter of their life to another,"
he said.
For Russell, the short 45-minute drive
home combined with relatively affordable in-
state tuition and the University's reputation
convinced her that Ann Arbor was the right
choice.
As a magnet school, Cass is able to mandate
higher academic standards than other high
schools. Students must pass a district-wide test
to be admitted to the school and maintain a
2.5 grade-point average to stay.
However, according to Principal George
Cohen, student selection isn't the only fac-
tor that allows Cass students to achieve. He
stressed the importance of a safe environment,
parental and teacher involvement and a rigor-
ous curriculum, as well as the legacy of the
school's graduates.
"When there's a reputation of excellence
and prominence, the school is a step ahead,"
Cohen said.
But Cass must provide these services at a
much lower cost than many suburban schools.
As a Detroit public school, it receives much
less public funding per student than schools in
Detroit suburbs like Birmingham and South-
field. This forces high school administrators
to sacrifice certain things like band uniforms.
Cohen said most band members march in T-
shirts and sweatpants. Sometimes, lack of
funding affects academic resources, limiting
the use of technology in the classroom and
forcing students to share textbooks.
Yet even without these resources, Cohen
said, Cass still manages to challenge its stu-
dents. It offers 11 AP and honors classes and
requires two years of foreign language, four
years of English and three years of math, sci-
ence and social studies.
Russell testified to the rigor of the cur-
riculum, especially in her AP Calculus class.
"When I get a 'C' on a test, I want to kiss the
paper," she said.

One of the primary roadblocks in
the way of certification is its costs.
But Duffy said that the price
should not be greatly altered by
meeting regulations in the original
plans, and the energy and water effi-
ciency required by the certification
will eventually cut down costs.
Though higher LEED levels are
encouraged, silver is the goal stated
in the resolution.
"Silver is the industry standard
in that it's the best balance between
environmental issues and fiscal
impact," said Shari Pomerantz, one
the resolution's cosponsors.
Each level of LEED certification
is based on a series of point val-
ues dealing with different aspects
of the building. The categories are
site sustainability, water and energy
efficiency, use of recycled materials
and indoor environmental quality.
Along with environmental friend-
liness, LEED certification is also
designed to increase the productiv-
ity of those working and living in
the building. Indoor environmental
quality deals explicitly with this
goal, encouraging more window
space to motivate inhabitants.
Duffy, who has been meeting with
University administrators, said her
main concern is that officials may
think the building can be environ-
mentally safe without LEED.
The University's Samuel Dana
Building attained a gold-level LEED
certification last May. Efforts are
underway to obtain certification for
the new C.S. Mott Children's and
Women's Hospital.

Journalist
versy surround-
ing the pardon
caused Ford to lose the 1976 election
by a slight margin to Jimmy Carter.
It was the right choice for a troubled
nation that needed to firmly put the
scandal in its past, said Woodward,
who has reported extensively on
seven presidents.
"If Nixon was investigated fur-
ther, tried, indicted, and the pos-
sibility of him going to jail - it
would have been a banana republic,"
he said.
Woodward would grow to admire
Ford for his openness - a trait he sees
as lacking in the current administration.
As evidence, he cited Ford's first
State of the Union address in 1975,
in which he spoke bluntly about the
a podium to which a seal reading
"Presidential Library" was affixed,
he did criticize one aspect of Ford, a
University alum. He said the former
president still has an inaccurate view
of Watergate, believing Nixon's top
deputies were more to blame for the
misuse of presidential power.
"He did not understand Watergate or
Nixon in my view," Woodward said.
Later, it was announced that
Ford and his wife, Betty, were
looking forward to watching a
tape of the talk. Woodward prob-
ably didn't mind that the 38th
president would hear his criti-
cisms. He's used to making presi-
dents uncomfortable.
Twenty years
after leaving
office, Ford
told Woodward
that spin doc-
tors from both
parties should
be banished
from the White
House.
"Suppose they
did that in the
White House
today," he said.
"What would
they do with all
the vacant office
space?"

The man was later identified and
finally brought to trial. He was sen-

the long, bureaucratic trial left her
feeling even more like a victim, she

Several years after the rape, she said
she still sleeps with a butcher knife.
"I still get angry because I can't

But she said her sharing her expe-

An Amaizeing World Awaits You
THE FOREIGN SERVICE EXAM IS
ON APRIL 8, 2006
This semester, the U.S. Department of State is sponsoring a unique, industry education program
with the Advertising Marketing class -the Ross Group-at the Ross School of Business. The
goal of the campaign has been to not only create awareness about the U.S. Department of State,
but also to increase enrollment in the Foreign Service Written Exam (FSWE). The campaign
has led to much success in achieving both goals. On March 8, 2006, more than 30 students
enrolled to take the free FSWE on April 8, 2006.
The mission of the U.S. Departnient of State is to create a more secure, democratic, and
prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community. The
Foreign Service is looking for undergraduate and graduate students of all majors who exude the
values of loyalty, character, service, accountability and community to fulfill Foreign Service
Officer (FSO) positions. FSOs are responsible for protecting American citizens and promoting
American business interests throughout the world. They staff embassies, consulates, and other
diplomatic missions devoted to strengthening peace, stability and prosperity.
Remember that if you are taking the exam, you must bring your admission letter with you to
the test location. An email will be sent out to all those who attended the information sessions
