NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 5, 2006 - 7 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. *Broadview Apartments *Spacious 1 bedroom apartments " Spacious 2 bedrooms with master bath " Shuttle around campus "*Large private balconies with wooded views Pets welcome SModels Open Daily 741-9300 J , EXTEDEDHOURS) www.annarborapartments.net PRIME STUDENT HOUSING...

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.

What would they do with all the vacant office space?" m - Bob Woodward 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?"

SPEAK-OUT Continued from page 1 afraid of her male graduate student instructors and remains closed off from friends. But she says telling her story helped her start to recover. Women from the community also attended the event, looking for a safe space to share their feelings and empower others to do the same. A woman from Saline related a story about being raped in her home. She said the rapist entered her home and woke her up in the middle of the night. "I kept talking to him, but he cov- ered my face. I kept touching him and felt his clothes, anything I could Study Participants Wanted The University of Michigan Department of Dermatology is enrolling psoriasis patients (cases) and normal controls for a genetics study [IRBMED 1990-0381]. This type of study requires that the cases and the controls have a similar ethnic makeup. At this time we have openings for psoriasis patients of all ethnicities and adult grasp to identify him," she said. The man was later identified and finally brought to trial. He was sen- tenced to 90 years in prison. But the long, bureaucratic trial left her feeling even more like a victim, she said. Several years after the rape, she said she still sleeps with a butcher knife. "I still get angry because I can't trust anyone," she said. But she said her sharing her expe- rience might encourage other women do the same. Take Back the Night is a nation- al movement that began in 1978 to combat violence against women.

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 _.'
