The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, April 24,1991 - Page 9 Overseas jobs are passport1 by, BrnnE~ Bouman "Overseas opportunities - now," said Bill Nolting, Inter- national Opportunities coordinator t the International Center. As the semester ends, Nolting and his staff are informing as many students as they can about opportu- nities for going overseas. "Students need to act now, or in the next few weeks," advised Nolting. Nolting suggested scholarships for students who want to study abroad after graduation. "But now the time to start applying," he l red, because deadlines are early. It's not too late to work abroad this summer. Last year 130 University students worked in vari- ous countries using permits from the Council on International Educational Exchange. Just weeks ago, work permits in Spain became available. "Exciting news," Nolting said. "Until now it's been totally impossible to work legally there." "The earlier you apply the bet- ter," said Jeannine Lorenger, International Opportunities advi- sor. "We get so many requests for Spaif." Nolting advised people inter- ested in working abroad to do so while they still have student status. "Given the grim job market that we keep hearing about, if you're going to wait tables, you might as well do it in England," he laughed. Staff also recommended work- camps, two to four week commu- nity projects which provide room and board. "That's a really nice way to meet local people," Lorenger said.

The anniversary, titled "A Second Century of Leadership," will be attended by the visitors, as well as University nursing faculty, students, and alumni.

TASK FORCE Wontinued from page 1 events where alcohol is served, suf- ficient amounts of high-protein, non-salty food should be supplied. The task force also explicitly states that overall, it does not favor the practice of alcohol and other drug testing. Yet such testing would be permissible-if it were part of a "larger, comprehensive, strate- ,ic approach and not a crisis-driven response." CRAM Continued from page 1 study is the law library when I can get in - which I didn't today," he said. The law library is reserved for students enrolled in the Univer- ity's law school, and there is often a monitor who guards the entrance. "Today I didn't even bother," Ganz said. "I don't have an I.D." First-year LSA student Amy Tessner said she avoids the stacks in the Grad. "I don't like to go there because sometimes I get lost." The Undergraduate Library also offers voluminous study space, but many students say its more difficult ,o study there. "I tried the UGLi but it's just no use. There's too much noise and too many people walking around," said LSA senior John DiCarlo. "The Grad is quiet and it's the atmosphere. Everything I need is at my fingertips," he said. LSA sophomore Melissa Tamas called the UGLi "a good place to go for fun. A group of my friends and I tome here for light studying. I re- ally wouldn't come here for serious studying. It's too loud." Ganz, a Bursley resident, says he often studies at home at night and on Saturdays. "There I can spread out and grab a bite to eat when I want. It's just a relaxing atmosphere being in you own room," he said. 4 Sigma Nu member Gonzo Marquez says many members of his fraternity opt to study at the Meijer's cafeteria. "The first reason I decided to go there is because the libraries on campus aren't open that late, and they're too crowded around exam time," Marquez said. "Meijer's is open 24 hours, and it's a place to study for mid-terms and finals." & Marquez also pointed out that The celebration will include a reception for graduating students and visiting alumni on May 1. All events will take place in the Michigan League. Claire Fagin, University of Pennsylvania nursing dean, will de- liver the keynote address on "An Action Agenda" May 2. The day will also include a panel discussion of "Nursing in the 21st Century" featuring the presidents of all the major nursing associa- tions, including the presidents of the American Academy of Nursing, the National Black Nurses Association, and the National Hispanic Nurses Association. Dumas will moderate the panel. Events on May 3 will include a speech called "Balancing Career and Personal Development" by Indiana University Nursing Dean Angela McBride, as well as numerous lec- tures throughout the day. "The event will address the fu- ture of nursing, and nursing's role in practice, research, and education," said Betty Groves, of the University's Nursing Development Office. Dumas said the centennial will provide a platform for the exchange of ideas which could improve the future state of nursing. The School of Nursing was orig- inally established in 1891 as a train- ing school for nurses under the aegis of the medical school. The class of 1893 graduated 14 students. Declared a separate academic unit in 1941, the school now boasts over 8,000 alumni around the world.
