The Michigan Daily -Thursday, March 7, 1991- Page 3 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. KiM GARRETT/Daily '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. I 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. F--- Bu , Mr I o i Mur . , COOKIES y 10 Frozen Yogurts et one<@ small frozen yogurt FREE!
