Students experience Ann Arbor,
participate in summer programs

It was the first week of classes at the
Summer Discovery program hosted at
the University and Jenna Mazzill real-
ized this was not going to be like any
other summer - she was going to have
to do work. The reading packet for the
weekend was over 100 pages long.
But Mazzill said she does not mind
taking classes over the summer because
it makes her feel productive.
"I feel good about myself because I
feel like I'm doing something, I'm not
just doing nothing," she said.
Mazzill is one of more than 20,000
students participating in summer pro-
grams at the University.
Sixty percent are high school students
taking part in academic or sports pro-
grams in topics ranging from wrestling
and cross country running to physics,
engineering and computer science, said
Ann Marx, manager of Conference
Management Services at the University.
She said most of the summer pro-
grams are run by University depart-
ments or at least closely affiliated with
the University, including Summer Dis-
covery, a program independently owned
but largely taught by University faculty.
Other major camps include Michigan
Math and Science Scholars, the Michi-
gan Debate Institute and football camp.
In any given week, there are 400 to
500 extra individuals on campus partici-
pating in one of the 300 summer pro-
grams at the University, Marx said.
"It really is a great recruiting tool,"
she said. "When these kids start looking
at colleges they think, 'Michigan was
really a great school' ... and having resi-
dence halls open in the summer keeps
people employed and helps offset the
cost ofhousing for students."
The camps, which attract adolescents
from all over the country, can cost from
$400 for weekly sports camps to over

Bethany Davison, a high school sen-
ior from Boston, said taking part in
Summer Discovery was definitely better
than getting ajob for the summer. "It's a
good experience, especially if it's your
first time being away from home. It's
probably the closest experience you can
get to going to college" she said.
But she said she would also like to see
a wider variety of students in the pro-
gram, maybe some "more chill" people.
"There are a lot of wealthy, Gucci-
loving, can't-get-dirty type of girls and
guys, and it can get kind of tedious" she
said.
Josh Dickerson, a wrestler from
Groves High School in Birmingham,
Mich., said he likes the town and the
food, but he is here for the experience.
"You get some good technique, it teaches
you a lot. ... I'd definitely attend school
here - I like the campus and it's a good
school"

Bush, Schwarz was one of the few
Michigan politicians to meet McCain
during the trip.
Schwarz eventually ended up chairing
McCain's campaign and shepherding
through his primary win here in Febru-
ary 2000, although McCain ended up
dropping out of the race a month later
Schwarz said le
and McCain are
similar because
they are around the
same age, have
both served in
Vietnam and both
believe honesty is
an essential part of
communicating
sith votrs
"We share a lot Schwarz
of positions on
issues, but the
biggest component
of the political life
we share is the fact
that you tell peo-
ple the truth
always, even if the
truth is painful,"
Schsvarz said.
Schwarz said he
plans to emphasize McCain
honesty at tomorrow's rally in relation to
the current state budget crisis. Revenues
have fallen due to the recession and
almost all programs except higher edu-
cation and K-12 education were cut for
the 2002-2003 fiscal year. Yet, it is still
unsure how much tuition will be when
the University Board of Regents vote on
next year's tuition rates next week.
Schwarz also said he feels the state
must not allow scheduled .1 percent
reductions in the state income tax
and single business tax to go into
effect in order to prevent cuts in state
programs, which include funding for
Michigan's public universities and
community. Posthumus has said the
state should allow those cuts to go
into effect. "We're going to be
emphasizing that you have to tell
people the truth about the budget."

sively with the public in order to gain its
opinion on the future of Ground Zero.
The agency received over 1,000
prospecive ideas, ad they ae still con-
sidering all the options, she added.
The corporation and the Port
Authority hired Beyer, Blinder and
Belle, an architectural firm based in
the city, to lead a $3 million three-
phase study, she said.
The first phase will produce up to six
planning options for the site and the sur-
rounding areas. The second phase,
scheduled to be completed by mid-Sep-
tember, will involve narrowing down
that list to just three options, while the
final phase will refine the options from
phase two to a final selection and a pre-
ferred alternative. That announcement
should come in December, she added.
John Beyer, of Beyer, Blinder and
Belle, said the architecture and plan-
ning fim is sincere and serious in its
mission to help redesign and revive the
site of the attacks.
"The Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey and the Lower Manhattan
Development Corporation have given us
a very great honor and a very great
responsibility. We feel humbled when
we consider the meaning of this assign
ment," Beyer said in a written statement.
The public and city are committed to
finding an appropriate plan for recon-
structing Ground Zero as a memorial
and neighborhood, Poderycki said.
"(Ground Zero) is a destination
for people all over the world," she
added.
But reaching a consensus on what
people want to see when they visit the
site isn't easy. Some individuals and
organizations are pushing for the towers
to be rebuilt as an act of defiance, a way
to show the world that America won't
fall. Others want a memorial built in
honor of those that died. And others
aren't quite sure what they'd like to see.
"I want to see some type of building
back there," LSA senior and New York
A fence borders Ground Zero, the site of
the Sept.11 terrorist attacks in New York.
native Lauren Sapega said, adding that
she believes building a memorial is a
"good idea because it's always difficult
to remember all those lost"
"I'd actually like to see the buildings
back up again. It's important to rebuild
downtown," she added. "People know
the skyline"
Business school senior Jackie Feldner
also said she wants the New York sky-
line restored - as long as it's some-
where else.
"I think a tree memorial would be
good" she said. "They shouldn't rebuild
the Twin Towers. They should just have a
memorial."
Still, Poderycki said the public agrees
on at least one points -- that Ground
Zero can't remain as is.
"People feel strongly downtown
should be a community bustling night
and day," Poderycki said. "People also
want to restore cultural sites, add green
space for recreation."
An official construction schedule will
be announced once a proposal is agreed
upon. But even with Ground Zero
rebuilt, the scars of Sept. It tmay never
heal.
"It's really disturbing if I'm watching
television and I catch the Twin Towers"
Nissen said. "I get a physical little pang
.... They're gone but I still feel and see
them. They're still apart of New York."
