10 University Daily Kansan Campus/Area Thursday, Nov. 14, 1985 Educators suggest stiffer standards By Jill White Of the Kansan staff A proposal presented this week by a group of education deans at a national meeting in Washington to make teacher education programs more rigorous is similar to KU's five-year program, the associate dean of teacher education said yesterday. The deans, known as the Holmes Group, appealed to the academic affairs council of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges for support of a plan that is similar to KU's program established in 1980, Jerry Bailey, associate dean of teacher education, said yesterday. "In essence what the Holmes Group is advocating is very similar to what KU has," Bailey said. "All our students have academic majors or minors in specific fields." The Holmes Group wants to create a set of professional career teachers to work with regular teachers and would like to require all teachers to meet staff training standards. The tentative Holmes plan would require all teachers to obtain a bachelor's degree with "a" surious in depth grounding in an academic subject' other than education. ect" other than education. The Holmes plan also says students would have to complete a graduate year of study in teaching, including a "well-supervised internship." All teachers would need enough college credits to constitute a minor in each subject taught in elementary school or a major in each subject in high school. Two leaders of the Holmes Group, education deans Judith Lanier of Michigan State University and John Palmer of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, asked the academic affairs council to support their plan. KU, a member of the national association, is being represented by Richard von Ende, executive secretary of the University and associate executive vice chancellor; Frances Horowitz, vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service; and Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs. The difference between the Holmes Group's plan and KU's program, Bailey said, is that the Holmes Group wants students to earn a bachelor degree in liberal arts and then work towards teacher certification. KU has a similar program where students with bachelors degrees can enter the School of Education as graduate students to work on teacher degrees. Bailey said KU undergraduates wanting to teach in elementary schools were required to complete two academic minors or one major. To teach in a middle school, students are required to complete one major or one major and one minor. Students wanting to teach in high schools have to complete two minors or one major and one minor. The 39 deans in the group, which was named in honor of a pre-World War II Harvard educator, are still putting the finishing touches on their plan. University vice presidents praised the plan but cautioned that it was a radical approach that would be costly for schools to implement and most likely would drive down enrolments in teacher education programs. education program Bailey said any program that extended the length of time to earn a degree would be more expensive for the student but enrollment in teacher education programs already had been declining for the past 10 years. "Our enrollment stabilized this year and will probably go up next year," he said. Murder trial jury sent from K.C. to St. Louis United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. โ€” Jurors selected to hear the second murder trial of a southeast Illinois doctor accused of killing his son to collect $148,000 in insurance benefits took a 250-mile bus ride across Missouri yesterday. The jury was selected in Kansas City because of publicity in St. Louis, where the first trial was heard. The panel, accompanied by sheriff's deputies, was taken by chartered bus to St. Louis, where the trial is scheduled to open Thursday. Prosecutors contend Dr. John Dale Cavaness, 60, of Harrisburg, Ill., killed his son, Sean, 22, near the St. Louis suburb of Times Beach on Dec. 13. The younger Cavaness, who lived in St. Louis, had been shot twice in the head. The first trial ended in a mistrial July 14 after the judge discovered jurors mistakenly were allowed to view documents not entered as evidence. Prosecutors are asking for the death penalty. Cavaness became a suspect in the staying after authorities said he lied about being at Sean's apartment on Dec. 12. In the first trial, witnesses testified they saw the doctor and his son leave the apartment building that night. Defense attorney Arthur Margulis argued that Sean shot himself in the head while he and his father were together in a car and that Cavaness shot his son a second time so the death would look like a homicide. Cavaness said he did not want relatives to know his son had taken his own life. Segregation suit appealed Cavaness' former wife and a son testified the doctor had a "Jekyll and Hyde" personality. United Press International ST. LOUIS - An attorney for the Kansas City School District said Tuesday black students were "steered" into the district while whites were sent to suburban school districts. districts. Allen Schneider made the comments in oral arguments before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Kansas City Board of Education, the NAACP and a group of parents have asked the appeals court to overturn a lower court decision that found 11 suburban districts not liable for segregation in Kansas City schools. because they feared attending all- white suburban schools. Attorneys representing the state and the Kansas City suburban districts backed the ruling of U.S. District Judge Russell Clark in Kansas City, who in July said the 11 districts were not liable for the segregation in Kansas City schools. Schneider told the judges that action by the Missouri legislature and the Department of Housing and Urban Development set housing restrictions that forced blacks to live in certain areas and thus resulted in segregated school districts. He said blacks had remained in city schools The attorney said that resulted in a black enrollment of 68 percent in the Kansas City School District with more than half the students in allblack schools. He said the 11 suburban districts were predominantly white. "The state's violation not only prohibited blacks from living in white districts, but set up a comprehensive transfer system for blacks who were able to live in suburban school districts." Schneider said. "It steered the blacks into the KCMSD just as it channelled the whites into the suburban school districts." Bartow Farr, the attorney representing the state, said economic factors caused by the Depression and the two World Wars caused blacks to move to the city. He said the ratio of whites to blacks moving to the city then was 6-1. "The migration to the suburbs was a phenomenon that occurred through the nation," he said. "During that period the Kansas City schools changed from a majority of white districts to a majority of black districts." Farr quoted Clark's ruling which said, "actions now 30 years past have negligible effects" on the current makeup of the city's school system. Appellate Judge Gerald Heaney asked whether the state couldn't be faulted for its segregation practices of the past. Farr did not explain why whites moved to the suburbs and blacks remained in the city. "Isn't it because of something the state has directly done that the white voters in Kansas City refuse to support the black schools?" the judge asked. "How are we going to get a decent education for black children if the Kansas City voters won't vote a tax increase and the state says it's not its responsibility?"

However, he said his own Labette Community College board "is still vitally interested in regionalization," and has developed a long-term plan which could serve as the basis for a proposal. TOPEKA - A regionalization plan aimed at cutting down on duplication of efforts by state community junior colleges and broadening their financing bases has stalled, the Legislative Educational Planning Committee was told yesterday. The Associated Press The two Montgomery County colleges have been the main target of regionalization in the last two years. Hochanadel said officials of the Coffeyville and Independence schools see regionalization as a financing battle, and area legislators don't think now is the right time to try to impose such a plan on their schools. A study designed to lay the groundwork for development of a regionalization plan which the state Board of Education could take to the Legislature has reached a dead end mainly because of the opposition of Coffeyville and Independence Community Colleges, the panel learned. THE CASTLE TEA ROOM pater learned. "From this perspective, at this time, I am not sure it's going to occur," Gery Hochanadel, president of Labette Community College, said. "There is no support among the Montgomery County schools for continuation of the regionalization study."

Pizza was actually invented in 1823, when the wife of Luigi Pizziano accidentally sat on a large ball of bread dough left to rise on a chair. The resulting pancake had such an interest, saucelike shape that she spread it with tomato sauce, tossed on some cheese, and popped it into her stone oven. Later, when pizza became a Pizziana family staple, Luigi willed to throw it at him, frisbee style, when he didn't come home on time. The first pizza delivery!
