School of
Ed. offers
one-year
program
y Stacey Gray
Getting a masters degree plus a
teaching certificate in a short pe-
riod of time may sound like an im-
possibility. But now, thanks to a
new School of Education program,
* graduate students can become cer-
tified secondary school teachers in
ijust one year.
The pilot program, called MaC
1(masters with certification), is a
36-hour certification program de-
signed to help people who have
recently realized they want to be-
come teachers.
"It used to be that we had a
two-year master program and about
two years to get your teaching cer-
Atificate," said Elisabeth DeGroot,
director of the program. "It could
lake students up to three years to
,do both since most of the classes
didn't overlap. It was in response
'to student needs that we created
"this kind of program. People have
'a hard time taking two or three
years out of their lives."
Deborah Helsing, a student in
the program, said, "It's great to be
able to do it in one year. If it were
more I probably wouldn't do it."
There are currently five stu-
dents enrolled in the program, but
DeGroot said she is planning for 25
or 30 people next year. "We are
interested in quality not quantity.
We've learned a lot and are ready
to have more students enter the
program."

Reaction party
announces bid

by Jay Garcia
Daily MSA Reporter
Another new party has declared
candidates to run in the Michigan
Student Assembly election March
26 and 27 - the Reaction party.
The Reaction party is headed
by second-year Residential Col-
lege student Conan Smith and
second-year LSA student Alejan-
dro Caffarelli who will run for
MSA president and vice president
respectively.
Reaction counts among its
main party platforms "arbitration"
between students, MSA, and the
University Board of Regents be-
cause not enough arbitration is
happening now, Smith said.
"The attitude (of MSA now)
seems to be too militant. It seems
they are promoting more of a
protest than any actual solutions to
problems," he said.
If elected, Reaction members
would attempt to work with the
Regents at getting a student to sit
on the Board to state student's
views, Smith said.
As for Reaction's other posi-
tions, the party does not advocate
automatic recognition for student
groups.
"It shouldn't be automatic pri-
marily to avoid duplicity of student
groups," Smith said.
Caffarelli said Reaction is
about getting down to basic stu-
dent issues such as tuition.
"A lot of students cannot afford
to go to this college because of the

rising costs of tuition. MSA should
voice protests against the tuition
hikes," Caffarelli said.
Reaction is also against the
deputization of campus security of-
ficers although they see other is-
sues as being of greater impor-
tance.
"To us deputization is a moot
point because (the officers) have
already been deputized," Smith
said.
Reaction members say they
would be careful about what posi-
tions they would take concerning
world affairs.
"When it comes to world af-
fairs, any responsible government
will have positions," Smith said,
but, "as student representatives we
have to be very careful what we
say, or don't say for that matter, so
we don't alienate any students,"
Smith said.
Only three people are running
for regular assembly seats on the
Reaction ticket: LSA second-year
students Kelly Mosher and
Michael Chang and first-year Res-
idential College student Holly
Hightower.
Despite the similarity, the
name of the party is not meant in
any way to relate to last fall's Ac-
tion party, Smith added, because
Reaction does not want to affiliate
itself with any other parties.
Campaigning for the MSA elec-
tion officially begins on Monday.

'What, me worry?'
ISA Sophomore Jeff Wolf kicks up

his feet while studying for midterms yesterday in the UGLI.

The students spend their days in
public schools, including Pioneer
High School, Community High
School and Tappan Middle
School, where they begin as ob-
servers and then assist as student
teachers.
"I student teach from 8 to 3 at
Community High School and then
go to class. It's a lot of work," said

Helsing.
The program follows the public
school schedules instead of the
University's. Students participate
in the public schools from
September to June and are quali-
fied at the end for certification by
the state.
Right now the program is only
designed for secondary school cer-

tification and not elementary. "We
decided that that's a good place to
start," said DeGroot.
The current program is funded
by the Michigan Partnership for
New Education. Tuition is equiva-
lent to the standard University
graduate student fee.

Ann Arbor police chief opening still undetermined

by Lynne Cohn
and David Rheingold
Daily City Reporters
Although city negotiators say
they have broken off talks with one
of the two -remaining candidates,
the final decision to appoint a new
Ann Arbor police chief is still up
in the air.
Members of the city council's
police selection committee, who
met yesterday afternoon, said they

would not make a recommendation
until they spoke with other mem-
bers of their respective caucuses
and continued further discussions.
William Hoover, currently the
acting chief in Ann Arbor, and
Douglas Smith, deputy chief of pa-
trol in Minneapolis, are the two fi-
nal candidates for the position,
which opened when William Cor-
bett resigned last July.

The police selection committee
consists of city councilmembers
Larry Hunter (D-First Ward), Terry
Martin (R-Second Ward), Joe
Borda (R-Fifth Ward), and Thais
Anne Peterson (D-Fifth Ward),
The council has dropped nego-
tiations with Hoover and assumed
intense discussion over Smith.
But Hunter pointed out that
"until the committee makes a rec-

ommendation, Hoover is still a
candidate."
Hoover could not be reached for
comment.
Acting City Administrator Don-
ald Mason indicated that negotia-
tions with Hoover halted because
"we just couldn't agree on terms."
None of the committee mem-
bers would specify the exact de-
tails of the negotiations.

"All I can say to you is that he
was extremely concerned about his
political climate and he was trying
to protect his fringe benefits,"
Martin said.
Hoover has fulfilled the role of
acting police chief since Corbett's
resignation. Until recently, he was
reportedly the favored candidate,
with the support of the council's
six-member Republican majority.

Mason recently contactedl
Smith, who he described as recep-
tive to considering the job position.
Mason also speculated that Coun-
cil Republicans would be recep-
tive to Smith.
But Peterson said the commit-
tee has not decided to recommend
Smith, saying they still have
"things to work out."

Correction:
Yesterday's paper should not have reported that charges against the
defendants in the Marcuse case were upheld. The charges were never in
hquestion.

By Todd Lebowitz
Daily Staff Reporter
The University's College Bowl
team earned a trip to the national
finals by compiling an undefeated
record in last weekend's regional
competition at the University of
Toledo.
The five-member trivia team,
led by tournament Most Valuable
Player Erik Larsen and tournament
all-star David Moran, won each of
their eight preliminary matches
and defeated Case Western Re-
serve University in the champi-
onship.
"They asked things that no hu-
man being in their right mind
should know and yet we did," said
Brian Kalt, an LSA first-year stu-
dent, who referred to some of the
questions as "so obscure it was
almost funny."
Four-time College Bowl team
member Susheel Atree selected
Kalt, graduate students Larsen and
Moran, and LSA senior Matt
Miller based on their performance
in the University's intramural tour-
nament held last October.
"We're very strong as a team,"
said Larsen, who is participating in
his fifth year of College Bowl.
"There are very few gaps I'm
aware of."
The only significant gap to ap-
pear last weekend was the gap be-
tween Michigan and the competi-
tion.
In a format that awarded 10
points for each correctly answered
"toss-up" question and 20 to 30
points for subsequent bonus ques-
tions, Michigan beat opponents by
as many as 470 points.
The closest competition Michi-
gan faced was in the finals, where
they still won each of the two
matches by over 150 points.
"Based on our performance, I
think we have a really good

"Three of the five of us had
been on Jeopardy," he said, "and
we made sure we mentioned that
to anyone who asked."
Larsen won five consecutive
games on Jeopardy in Oct. 1989, a
performance he capped by placing
fourth in the game show's Tourna-
ment of Champions. He attributes
much of his trivia knowledge to
elementary school, when he read
the entire World Book Encyclope-
dia because he "needed something
to do."
Miller reached the semifinals
as a representative of Michigan in
last year's college Jeopardy tour-
nament. Kalt was a semifinalist in
the high school division at age
fourteen.
The College Bowl national fi-
nals will be held April 27-28 at the
University of Illinois in Chicago.
