from a moment in University
history.
October 31, 1990
— Ghastly
ghouls and spooky sights are
sure to attract scary souls
tonight.
That is if you’re not too old
for Halloween.
Unfortunately for horrific-
minded but responsible
students, Halloween falls on
a midweek evening amidst
midterm anxiety. As a result,
some of the fun has to wait
until the weekend.
“Halloween comes at a
bad time this year,” said LSA
sophomore Jonathon Marx.
“I haven’t even thought of
going out, especially since I
have a midterm. Besides, most
people either celebrated it last
weekend or will this weekend.”
Last weekend did not
lack activities. East Quad
did the “Halloween Thang”
and R.O.T.C. sponsored its
annual Haunted House before
hundreds of scary souls.
In spite of midterms, a
multitude of parties have
worked their way into students’
calendars this week. Among
the Halloween personalities
appearing this week are
Phantom of the Opera,
Medussa and the New Kids on
the Block.
Fantasy Attic, a popular
costumer in Ann Arbor, is not
surprised by their excellent
sales this season. Lindsay
James, a sales assistant,
said “Dick Tracy, Breathless
Mahoney and the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles are the
hot in demand this year. Pirates
are always a favorite, too.”
Big kids aren’t holding a
monopoly on fun in Ann Arbor
this week. Residence halls, such
as Mary Markley, East Quad
and Stockwell, are taking part
in Trick-or-Treating activities
for local children. Student
residents who signed up are
visited by area kids making the
candy rounds.
First-year LSA student
and East Quad resident Jun
Pangilinan is taking part in the
festivities. He said “I thought
it’d be nice to watch the kids
Trick-or-Treating since I’m
no longer doing it myself.” His
intentions are less than noble,
however, as he added, “Besides,
I get to keep the candy left-
overs.”
Music enthusiasts eagerly
await the School of Music’s
annual Halloween Concert
tonight. The fun is slated to
begin at 9 p.m. as the University
Philharmonic Orchestra
performs skits and ensembles
before a sold-out audience at
Hill Auditorium. Free tickets
were distributed within two
hours of availability weeks ago.
“It should be really fun,” said
School of Music sophomore
Jennifer Fari Ansel. “Everyone,
including some of the audience,
comes dressed in costumes.
Some of the sections are
coming as a group. I’m excited
to see the flutes in their ZZ Top
skit.”
Yet, amidst the fun, the
environmental concerns of
the 1990’s are not forgotten.
LSA senior Elizabeth Steel
said “the weirdest costume at
East Quad’s Halloween Thang
would have to be the guy who
came dressed in non-recyclable
plastic.”
It must have been a scary
sight to behold.

FRIDAY’S BICENTENNIAL FEATURE: SPOOKY FESTIVITIES BREW TONIGHT
HALLOWEEN SERVES TO FRIGHTEN AND EXCITE
field sites primarily in Southeast
Michigan help MSW students
apply their knowledge learned in
the classroom to a real position in
their field of interest.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s
Fair Labor Standards Act outlines
six requirements an internship “in
the ‘for-profit’ private sector” must
meet for a position to be unpaid.
According to these standards, the
requirements include: internship
positions reflect an educational
environment,
no
immediate
employer advantages from said
internship work and the internship
does not displace employees in
favor of unpaid internship labor.
Raycraft said the School of Social
Work’s field education requirement
meets these six points through the
field education’s association with
the University, structure around
classroom
learning,
University
oversight and credit allocation.
The program also requires
agreements between the school,
the company and the student to
make sure the field education
program stays in line with the U.S.
standards for unpaid internships.
Raycraft said this field education
requirement is different from an
internship in that the programs
MSW students are placed in reflect
their educational interests, not the
workforce needs of the employer
sponsoring the position.
“An
MSW
student
has
an
academic
agreement
and
they’re created for each student
individually,” Raycraft said. “It’s
giving them the opportunity to
apply their knowledge that they’re
learning in classes and to gain
practical skills, so it’s an extension
of the classroom. It’s associated
with academic programs, not with
the employer … that’s the biggest
distinction.”
Both the Fair Labor Standards
Act and the Social Work School’s
requirements for field placement
positions
reflect
Raycraft’s
statement that no field education
position should take the place
of regular, salaried employees.
However, this is what Social Work
student Erica Watson, School
of Social Work Student Union
vice president and Fair Labor
Organizing
is
claiming
often
happens. Watson said though the
learning contracts between the
MSW student and the employer are
sound from the beginning, often
these field education positions
morph into unpaid labor.
“We know that technically we
are not supposed to be replacing
regular employees and I think
that when the School of Social
Work goes to these placements to
place us, that’s sort of the agreed
upon thing but we hear again and
again and again, from students,
we’ve heard, ‘After I left my field
placement, they hired somebody
full-time with a health care
package to do the exact same job
as me’ or, ‘My supervisor was on
maternal leave and I actually had
to pick up all of her responsibilities
while she was gone,’ ” Watson said.
To discuss methods of how the
Social Work School can provide
MSW students with more stipends
and paid positions that satisfy
the field education requirement,
Watson and other MSW students
created FLO. It became an official
organization this past June and was
recently made into a subcommittee
of the School of Social Work
Student Union. FLO’s survey was
sent out over the summer on the
School of Social Work listserv and
from their responses to the survey,
FLO has been working on the
promotion of paid labor for MSW
students.
Working a part-time job and
being a student at the University
of Michigan is not uncommon,
with 52.5 percent of in-state
students and 6.3 percent of out-of-
state students reporting they pay
for everyday expenses like food
with a student job, found a survey
conducted
by
The
Michigan
Daily earlier this year. However,
Watson said the program’s 912
field placement hours requirement
often results in students working
unpaid positions, going to class
and having to find outside jobs to
pay for rent and food.
Watson cited the University’s
Higher
Education
graduate
program, whose required two-
term internship program most
often includes a paid hourly
stipend, as a branch of the
University she believes from which
the School of Social Work should
draw inspiration. She said as the
number-one-ranked social work
