2 - ThO Michigan Daily - Monday, May 10, 1999 SPRING Continued from Page 1 Thousands of students, like Luther, will forego the usual play- time at the beach to immerse them- selves in the University's summer classes. While some students said they need to complete a writing requirement or want to ease their courseload for next year, others said there are additional reasons to stay in Ann Arbor. LSA senior Joe Casey said he enjoys the off-season campus atmos- phere. "Ann Arbor is not a bad place to be in the summer, the weather is good and the girls dress nice," he said. Hernan Munoz, an LSA senior, said there are both advantages and disadvantages to taking classes dur- ing the spring and summer terms. "Taking classes in the summer gives you more time to concentrate on the work," Munoz said, "but the courseload is more intensive." Economics professor Tom Bogart "If you miss one lecture, you're already a week behind." Students expeience dangers of drinking said the accelerated pace may be the students' toughest adjustment to the spring schedule, adding that "at a university like this, there are a lot of smart and dedicated students. They expect to work hard." Some students said the increased intensity of the classes often over- whelms the temptation to relax on the Diag. LSA senior Scherrie Johnson said attending classes is crucial for students who don't want to fall behind. "We cover one week of material per lecture. The opportunity cost of skipping is too big. If you miss one lecture, you're already a week behind." Johnson said. A smaller student population also bring a less hectic atmosphere to the -- Scherrie Johnson LSA senior downtown area, which can also mean a decrease in profit to local business- es. Dominick Telemaco, manager of New York Pizza Depot, estimated that sales decrease about 30 percent in the summer. "We advertise a little more, but business still goes down," Telemaco said. Randy Lucas, a store manager at Bivouac, an outdoors equipment and apparel store, said the management shifts its target demographics to adjust to changing market condi- tions. "People who usually stay away from Ann Arbor during the school year because of the traffic are more likely to come around," Lucas said. FORD Continued from Page 1 The College of Engineering will also receive funding for the Tauber Manufacturing Institute, its joint venture with the School of Business Administration. The Institute sponsors interdisciplinary education and research in manufacturing. Funds from the pledge will also aid in the renovation of the Samuel Trask Dana Building as well as continue Ford's support for the University's visual and perform- ing arts programs. WFC'RF| Physics Department Chair Ctirad Uher said the funds assigned to the College of Literature, Science and the Arts will be used to produce a winter lectureship in the physics department. Uter said he hopes the financial support will allow this lectureship to be as distinguished as the Ta-You Wu lectureship traditionally held during the fall term. "With the support, we will be able to bring Nobel lau- reates, or speakers of that caliber to the University," he said. Uher said he anticipates the addition to enliven the environment of the department and plans for the speak- er to be chosen within the next few months. By Doug Rett For the Daily A bunch of drunk high-school stu- dents driving around Pioneer High School's parking lot is usually not an event the Ann Arbor Police Department and Mother Against Drunk Driving want to encourage. But on Saturday afternoon, the AAPD gladly watched on as Pioneer students had an opportunity to expe- rience drunk driving with the help of "fatal vision goggles," designed to simulate a 0.17 blood alcohol level. Students wore the goggles as they rode around on golf carts through a track set up with cones. The event, sponsored by the AAPD's Police On Wheels for Education and Recreation, provided many activities for the high school stu- dents to learn the dangers of mixing alcohol and the road. PO.WE.R. Officer Sean Slay said the golf carts serve as the most benefi- cial activity for the students. "The golf carts give kids a hands- on experience of being drunk and to see how it distorts your vision," Slav said. "It snakes them think - what if these cones were people" he added. Although Slay said that Saturday's rain may have kept some students away, he said he was still happy to see some come out. Pioneer first-year student Bryan Lancaster, who knocked down almost every other cone, said that driving on the course taught him a very important lesson. "I learned what drunk driving must be like,' Lancaster said. Michigan basketball player Louis Bullock and football player an Gol also attended the event to encourag students to be aware of the dangers c drinking and driving Bullock said POWE.R's event ma help students when they have to n future choices. "You can prevent a lot of bad thing froni happening if you can just get pee ple to be smart about decisions, Bullock said, adding that prom time i just around the corner. Bullock added that colleges all ove the state have had far too many alcohol related accidents and was glad to se PO.WE.R. trying to get involved wit the students. Bullock said he has been a mienttse three Pioneer students this past va which is how he heard about the event But the golf carts were not the onil things to make students thintk twi about driving while drunk. A car involved in a drunken dri ving accident donated by Diehl Auta and a coffin and hearse displa: donated by Muehlig Funeral Chape were on display for the students t< see the possible results of dri while intoxicated. One of the University Hospitals Survival Flight helicopters was also a Pioneer. Students climbed inside to se what happens during a survival flighi emergency. John Bullen, a registered nurse an an emergency medical technician fo survival flight said he thought "injIr' prevention is a big part of caring fo people," Slay also said prevention is the# medicine. "We try to take a pro-active approac versus having officers hiding in th streets trying to bust kids" The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is pubished weekly during the spring and summrer rms by students at the University of Michigan.
