EMU community unites for Clinton visit by Kate Bullach
B y Thursday morning, Oct. 31, Bowen Field House was undergo
ing yet another dramatic change. The stage where President William
Jefferson Clinton had stood Jess than 24 hours earlier was proficiently being reduced to sawdust. The bleachers that housed around 4,800 onlookers were still pulled out. Folding chairs on the main floor had already been stowed.
The large riser, where a h undred j ournal ists and photographers shifted in an uncoordinated dance for camera angles, was losing it6 railings to Bill Carter's confused hands.
Hadn't they just put these railings up? Indeed, they had.
Carter and six other carpenter shop employees came to work on Monday, Oct. 28, to find out that there had been a change of venue. President Clinton wasn't coming to lovely, restored Pease on the day before Halloween -- he was coming to Bowen: a new stage and press riser, please.
"It was a zoo," Carter said. "I've been here 19 years and done lots of set

"This new net site will allow women business owners to go directly to investors, to avoid confusing rules, Jack of information and their lack of access to what we ought to call, I guess, the oldboy networks," he said.

Breaking rank with American education by Kate Bullach
American educators suffer from ttwwadi.
It's the underlying problem with the American school system, Dr. Timothy Dyer said during a special seminar Oct. 25 in McKenny Union. Dyer, who is the executive director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, earned three EMU degrees and served on the Board of Regents from 1973 to 1984.
He returned to EMU to discuss NASSP's recently released publication "Breaking Ranks: Changing an American Institution."
"We have one very, very big problem to overcome," he said. "American educators suffer from a tremendous decease called ttwwadi - that's the way we've always done it."
NASSP's report contains more than 80 recommendations for revitalizing America's high schools with fresh ideas in preparation for the 21st century. Dyer summarized the initiatives under six themes:
Personalization. High schools should be no larger than 600 students so teachers and pupils know each other.
Teachers should not see more than 90 students in a given instructional period and should serve as personal adult advocates and counselors rather than
ups, but I've never seen anything like this. It was a good advertisement for cellular phones -- everyone was walking around dialing each other."
President Clinton's advance team arrived Friday, Oct. 25, to supervise the preparations for the visit. Carter said that his team had a stressful job under watchful eyes. Work rushed forward right up to the morning of the big day,
when Secret Service agents kicked everyone out of the building to do the security sweep. Despite the rush, no one argued with the attractive and functional finished product -- especially not those who were lucky enough to see it in use.
"I was amazed at how quickly everything was set up, I didn't see a flaw anywhere," said Professor Gail Compton of communication and theatre arts. "It was a great day for Eastern. I was just so proud that the President came here. He is a warm speaker, and he truly does care."
"President Clinton was warm, genuine and sincere," added Dennis Beagen, former head of CT A and interim dean of Continuing Education. "It was obvious that his connection to Eastern through Rodney Slater was very strong."
Bill Barnett, Campus Life's program coordinator, thought the president's visit was "a wonderful shot in the arm. It puts us on the map and compares us to that little community college down the street, and I'm not talking about Cleary!"
dress focused on women entrepreneurs and their individual success stories. Sharing the program with Clinton were Juanita Reid, EMU vice president for University Relations;Michelle Vasquez, co-founder,Microenterprise Network of Michigan; Gail Davis, founder, K.D.Y. Enterprise and Juanita Bycraft-Walker, founder, A Production Cleaning Company.
Reid welcomed the large audience, saying the EMU community "was honored" to host President Clinton. "And, we thank the Microenterprise Network of Michigan and Freman Hendrix, state

intellectual stimulators. Coherency. High schools should be
clear about the essentials to graduate. Subjects should be linked more directly and schools should align teaching and testing.
Time. Teaching and learning need room for flexibility. Teachers should avoid equating time with learning. Also, schools should operate 12 months a year.
Technology. High schools must develop a long-term plan for using technologies in all aspects of teaching and learning. A technology resource person must be provided for consultations.
Professional development. Staff development and behavioral changes are instrumental to the school of the 21st century. "We need to be working to-

director for the Clinton/Gore campaign and a (1978) EMU alumnus, for providing us with this opportunity to host the president of the United States. We are delighted to have him visit our campus and equally delighted that all of you could be here to share in this historic occasion," she added.
President Clinton was introduced by U.S. Senator Carl Levin, Rivers, and Mexican immigrant Irma Elder, who owns three car dealerships and is considered one of the most successful Hispanic businesswomen in America.
The president's address lasted about
gether as teachers and teachers-to-be in staff development programs on a yearround basis," Dyer said. "Staff development goes on from the day you start teaching to the day before you retire. Even the oldest among us can still be learning."
Leadership. Good intentions will come to naught unless people step forward to lead high schools into the future. Leadership is the vehicle for school reform.
Dyer said Breaking Ranks and its recommendations are not meant to be just another "shelf report." Breaking Ranks, he concluded, was designed to be implemented, and he intends to continue his campaign to spread the word of reform.
APICS was formed by manufacturing managers to advance the theories and practices of sound production. EMU's chapter, advised by Assistant Professor Reino Warren of finance and computer information systems, has received a Gold Circle Award for the past six consecutive years.

Prior to President Clinton's departure, he shook hands with hundreds of visitors and surprised the audience when he climbed into the bleachers to greet the spirited members of the marching band.
