2 - The Michigan Dail - Monday, Jul 8, 2002 Students experience Ann Arbor, participate in summer programs By Andrew MacCormack and Karen Schwartz Daily StafTRepoiters 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 Oppenheimer Properties, Inc.

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" SCHWR Continued from Page 1 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." wrc Continued from Page 1 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." 4 I The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
