Excerpts from Letters Written by Urban Studies Alumni to Support the Nomination of Earl M

EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS WRITTEN BY URBAN STUDIES ALUMNI TO SUPPORT THE NOMINATION OF EARL M. LEWIS FOR PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR AWARD

February 8, 1982 "As a graduate of Trinity University's Urban Studies Program and in my capacity as Assistant City Manager, I have studied under and worked cooperatively with Dr. Lewis for over eleven years. I feel uniquely able to comment upon his dedication, abilities, and impact based upon the scope of our relationship ranging from pro­ fessor/student to professor/practitioner. . . . The progress of my career can be attributed in great measure to the impact of Dr. Lewis. . . . His continued ex­ pert tutorship of qualified urban practitioners is evidenced by the City of San Antonio's ongoing enthusiastic cooperation with Trinity University in the intern­ ship element of the program. Moreover, it is corroborated by the infusion of Urban Studies graduates throughout the City's municiDal structure. We hire Dr. Lewis' graduates because they can ably serve the City of San Antonio—that must be an effective measure of his work.' I have also served with Dr. Lewis as a Board Member of the National Hispanic Field Service Program administered by the University of Colorado at Denver. Trinity University, through Dr. Lewis' partic­ ipation, is viewed as a leader among the public administration schools from through­ out the country which are members of this Consortium. Indeed, Dr. Lewis has been elected Vice Chairman of the Policy Board, verifying his respected position among the academicians and practitioners who comprise the Board membership." Alexander E. Briseno, Assistant City Manager, City of San Antonio, Texas February 10, 1982 "Dr. Lewis has transcended my concepts of what a professor is and, in that, has convinced me that he is what all professors should be to all their students. I first enrolled at Trinity University in 1972. Academically, Dr. Lewis' courses were of the highest quality. Dynamic presentations and razor-like inquiries kept me moving, thinking, and exploring. I am convinced that his decisions to question individuals within the group were carefully and deliberately based on the subject of inquiry and his reading of how the particular individual was developing in the class. It is not, however, even this quality of classroom excellence which compels me to this recommendation. Clearly, it was Dr. Lewis, the Mentor, who provided me with the greatest experience and reward. This mentoring role began in the class­ room but is still very active and very fruitful now, almost ten years later. Dr. Lewis has always been available to assist and advise me. In late 1972, he chal­ lenged me to continue at Trinity at a time when external pressures were such that I considered leaving the graduate school. In 1974, he was very supportive in my appointment as Executive Director of a private non-profit housing corporation. In 1977, he again challenged and brought news of opportunity which led to my appointment as an Assistant to the City Manager of San Antonio. It is very important to note that it was Dr. Lewis who was seeking out and always keeping his former stu­ dents in mind." J. Rolando Bono, Assistant City Manager, City of San Antonio, Texas February 5, 1982 "In the many years I've spent pursuing academic goals, rarely has a professor in­ fluenced me and impacted so greatly the course of my professional development as did Dr. Earl Lewis. As a teacher and scholar he possesses the ability to communi­ cate clearly and concisely both theory, principles and practice so as to facilitate the transition from the academic to the real world. Three years ago I was pleased to participate in an alumni reunion and even more pleased to know that Trinity graduates are well distributed nationally in key, administrative policy and decision­ making positions in both public and private sectors."

Jose Carlos Pena, Ph.D.; Vice President, Planning, Allocations, and Public Policy; United Way of America, Alexandria, Virginia January 17, 1975 "It's 3:00 A.M. and the Evidence case I'm reading is less than dull. Don't think for a second I've forgotten you. I have spent many an hour thinking about you, your program and your faculty. My thoughts are happy. I was your student and I can never repay you for the education and many opportunities you gave me. ... I guess you wonder about all that money you spent to educate me and also wonder what kind of return I have given the poor. Well, I've enclosed a newspaper article about one of the things I've done. If you read it slowly you won't miss my name. . . . I don't think your money has been wasted. And I know a lot of the migrants feel the same way. Now, I'm concentrating on learning a profession. My goal is two things, to be competent and sensitive ." Ernesto Flores, Law School, Notre Dame University February 10, 1982 "As you know, there are a number of elements of design that go into the art of good teaching. The final criteria rest in the presentation of oneself as a model. Dr. Lewis is a life-long student. He takes advantage of learning not only from the published and academic world, but from his own students. He shows the liberating effects of self-discovery. In the final analysis, that is the most a good teacher can do; that is, to show by example what results from teaching oneself. Those subjects in which Dr. Lewis directs learning are value-loaded. That enormously complicates this whole business. In my experience, he presented material objec­ tively and encouraged comments that covered the philosophical spectrum. In the end, I knew what he valued. He knew what values I held. Biases were exposed, examined, understood, and respected. The last of the elements of good teaching upon which I would comment involves the minority member of society as a model. I have served as the Assistant to the Mayor when we were the largest city in the United States to have a female Mayor. Now I serve as the Assistant to the Mayor while we are the largest United States city to have an Hispanic Mayor. ... We are so fortu­ nate to live in this society and nation which values opportunity for all its members. I intend to do whatever I can to keep avenues open. Dr. Lewis is an example of what benefits can accrue to all of us when avenues are open." Shirl Thomas, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor and Council, City of San Antonio, Texas February 9, 1982 "Teachers and scholars function within several subsystems: the profession, the institution, the student body, and the community. I have never seen any teacher integrate all of these subsystems to the degree of excellence that Dr. Lewis does."

Maria I. Araujo, Recreation Resources Planner, Comprehensive Planning Branch, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Austin, Texas

"I believe that the students who have graduated from the urban studies program have made Trinity University a respected institution in the urban studies 'discipline.1 This is a direct result of Dr. Lewis' guidance and teaching. He has inspired at least three students in my class alone to become lawyers: Ernesto Flores, Irma Herrera, and myself. One other student, Richard Sanchez, works with the City of Houston/Harris County metropolitan government. Another student, Miguel Berry, is working in Wisconsin with the migrant stream of people. Dr. Lewis' inspiration came not by suggestion, but by making us understand not only the problems that face American cities but also the solutions to these problems. For example, I am a criminal defense lawyer, and I understand urban crime and the administration of justice because Dr. Lewis taught the reality of urban crime, not because of any­ thing I learned in law school or in the courtroom. ... In the classroom, Dr. Lewis is one of the most brilliant men I have ever encountered. He is challenging, mysterious, philosophical, completely objective in expressing points of view or schools of thought, and never boring."

Armando Cavada, Attorney at Law, South Texas Defender Project, Kingsville, Texas

February 10, 1982

"I have had the distinct pleasure and privilege of knowing Dr. Lewis for 12 years. During this time, I have valued his friendship, sought his counsel, admired his dedication, and emulated his pursuit of excellence in public administration. Dr. Lewis has influenced my life in a most positive manner. As his student, he capti­ vated me with his lectures. I felt challenged and stimulated by his coursework assignments. I enjoyed the individual attention he afforded me. He enhanced my education manifold. . . . His keen insight and sincere moral support helped to make possible an undergraduate program at Trinity that provided tutoring, counseling, cultural activities, book and transportation stipends, and a two-week orientation for entering freshmen minority students."

Jose Jorge Anchondo, Research Associate, Texas Advisory Commission on Inter­ governmental Relations, Austin, Texas

February 8, 1982

"Characteristic of his teaching approach was his organization and clarity in pre­ sentation. Like a chemist, he was able to categorize and break down the complex elements of political thought in order to facilitate the learning process. But­ tressing this approach was his ability to stay current with the latest scientific research in this field. But the keystone description which sets Dr. Lewis apart from many well versed professors was his concern for his students. He was able to motivate students in the pursuit of excellence; it was through this unyielding drive that many of his students were able to overcome diffidence and indifference. Dr. Lewis captured the unused talent to create urban professionals in the highest degree." Ricardo A. Sanchez, Chief of Contract Compliance, Metropolitan Transit Authority, Harris County, Texas

February 10, 1982

"As a teacher, he created an innovative academic program which was and is still relevant today. He taught me the intellectual skills—planning, research, analysis —which gave me the technical knowledge to become an urban professional able to compete successfully in the work environment. ... Dr. Lewis took a personal interest in each student—in their academic, intellectual and personal lives. As a direct result of his influence, I have published numerous articles in professional journals and magazines; I was a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University; I sit on 13 boards of national organizations; and I am founder and president of a national tech­ nical assistance organization. On a personal level, his influence on my life has been of such depth that, even after 12 years, I feel free to call him for advice, and have done so, in my professional and private life."

Jose S. Garza, President, National Hispanic Housing Coalition, Washington, D.C.

February 11, 1982

"My decision to attend Trinity and study under Dr. Lewis proved a wise one. I can state that Dr. Lewis clearly ranks as the best teacher I ever had, and this in­ cludes my subsequent professors at Harvard Law School. His knowledge of his material is immeasurable, his preparation for its presentation is exact, and his delivery in the classroom is unequaled. Moreover, these qualities presented a tremendous chal­ lenge to the students to work and to prepare as hard as their professor; I found my course of study and preparation for class at Harvard Law School tame by comparison. Throughout my two year course of study at Trinity, I was touched by human qualities that I challenged myself to emulate. His pursuit of excellence, his demands that we channel our resources toward meaningful priorities, and his basic belief in the dignity of every human being were impressions he left on me that will always remain"

Ricardo G. Cedillo, Attorney at Law, Groce, Locke and Hebdon, San Antonio, Texas

February 8, 1982

"His lectures are always well prepared, interesting, and thought provoking. More­ over, Dr. Lewis lectures with an element of enthusiasm which is virtually un­ paralleled. He appreciates creative thinking and invites his students to question the conventional wisdom. In terms of course requirements, Dr. Lewis is challenging, demanding, and expects each student to perform at his or her best. Although Dr. Lewis requires his students to work hard, he treats them fairly, considerately, and respectfully. . . . Another strong quality which Dr. Lewis possesses is the support which he extends to his students. Although his duties as chairperson for the Department of Urban Studies consume a major portion of his time, Dr. Lewis is, nonetheless, accessible and assumes an active role in assisting students with any problems they might encounter. ... A final comment which I feel needs to be made concerns the impact which Dr. Lewis has had in my recent achievement as a practicing professional. Currently, I am serving a two-year internship as a Presidential Management Intern (PMI) with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The PMI program is a highly competitive program whereby, through Executive Order, approximately two hundred fifty candidates are selected annually from the nation's graduate schools in public administration."

David Birmingham, Presidential Management Intern, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Houston, Texas

February 8, 1982

"The unselfish characteristics exemplified by Dr. Lewis have, . . ., further in­ spired me to make continuing contributions to the University in both time and financial support. An example of this has been the opportunity to assist in the Urban Studies Intern Program by hiring two Trinity students as interns during my employment with the Southern California Rapid Transit District in Los Angeles."

Lenwood Howell, Principal Planner, Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas

February 10, 1982

"Dr. Lewis employs what I believe to be extraordinary teaching methods. Like most of his students, I was so impressed with his seemingly eudless knowledge and willingness to levy extremely heavy tolls on himself that the thought of devoting anything less than one hundred percent was like committing academic blasphemy. . . . For apparent selfish reasons, I consider his most important attribute to be his unending willingness to provide personal and professional guidance and/or assistance to his former students. In addition to the unparalleled educational experience of having Dr. Lewis as an instructor, Dr. Lewis has served as an advisor, a friend, a co-worker and an assistant since I graduated from Trinity University in 1975."

Drew Cameron, Transportation Section Supervisor, Planning Department, City of San Antonio, Texas

February 9, 1982

"Since leaving Trinity in 1974, Dr. Lewis and I have worked together, along with other similarly committed individuals, toward improving educational opportunities in many San Antonio neighborhoods. These neighborhoods, for a variety of reasons, have not fared well in the resource allocation process of our city. Dr. Lewis's commitment, immunity to pressure, and ability to cipher rational alternatives in the midst of competing and conflicting claims, were commendable, and his contri­ butions thorough and professional. Dr. Lewis is presently serving as a positive and influential role model for hundreds of students, of varying and diverse back­ grounds, coming from every segment and sector of the nation."

The Department of Urban Studies offers a two-year interdisciplinary course of study leading to the M.A. degree in urban studies. The curriculum is designed: (1) to provide professional level instruction and intensive field experience for persons interested in careers in public or private agencies dealing with urban problems, and (2) to prepare students for doctoral study in an urban field. Degree requirements include 36 semester hours of graduate courses in urban studies, a nine month internship, a research project based on the internship or relevant and accepted work experience, and a comprehensive oral and/or written examination. The major student oriented objectives of the depart­ ment are to develop: (1) uncommon understanding of the major elements of urban systems and their interrelationships; (2) useful competence in urban and regional planning processes; (3) practical skill in applied and policy oriented research; (4) general knowledge of unionism and affirmative action; (5) general understanding of budgeting, fiscal management and program analysis and evaluation processes; (6) knowledge of major urban problems and related public policy and management issues; (7) exceptional skill in writing and negotiating proposals for grants; and (8) effectiveness in verbal communica­ tion for professional purposes with different urban audiences.

The purposes of the internship are: (1) to provide work experiences in urban agencies that will be of maximum educational and developmental value for students, and (2) to support selected urban agencies by providing assistance from capable graduate students. All students complete at least 36 semester hours in multidisciplinary urban studies courses prior to starting their internships. During the nine-month internship period, a constructive interaction is maintained among the urban studies staff, the interns and supervisory personnel in cooperating agencies. Two formal evaluations are re­ quested from each agency for each intern. Those interns assigned to agencies in the San Antonio area are also involved in highly flexible noncredit seminars with Trinity faculty and consultants. The seminars focus on the interlocking character of urban problems, processes and subsystems. For interns assigned outside the San Antonio area, field visits to agencies by faculty members and individual consultations with urban studies faculty members may substitute for these seminars. The department undertakes to subsidize some travel by interns to its seminars on the Trinity campus. The development of internship positions and the assignment of students to specific agencies are academic responsibilities of the urban studies faculty. These are not in­ tended to be elements in a permanent job placement process. The aim is to provide each student with an internship opportunity that appeals to the assigned student and meets educational criteria set by the urban studies faculty. The urban studies faculty con­ centrates first on the development of viable potential internships in a variety of public and private agencies in different parts of the country. Detailed information is secured about prospective internship agencies through a combination of site visits to these agencies, telephone contacts by urban studies staff, collection of documents and reports relating to the agencies, and consultations with urban studies alumni. A job description for each intern position is requested from each agency prior to the formal assignment of an intern.

Each prospective intern is intensively interviewed by a member of the urban studies faculty to determine his or her interests and preferences. A resume (with photograph) is prepared for each prospective intern by the urban studies staff. Every effort is made to match probable internship positions with the background and expressed prefer­ ences of each intern. However, the department does not and connot guarantee this result. Each student is therefore obliged to accept one of the internships that is developed and made available-

A selection of student resumes is sent to each cooperating agency. Positive agency re­ sponses lead to personal interviews between students and agency personnel for those agencies in the San Antonio area. Telephone interviews with students are often arranged for agencies outside the San Antonio area. Scheduling for these interviews is handled in the office of the department. It is important to emphasize that agencies initiate the interview process through explicit expressions of interest in specific students. Students do not act to develop interviews. Participation in scheduled interviews in no way obligates either the agency or the student. Students are expected to participate constructively in all interviews, and normally each student interviews for several options. Students and agencies rank the interviews according to their respective preferences and interests.

The department asks that no commitment to appoint be made by agencies or commitments to accept be made by students during the interviews or at any other time except through the Chairperson of the Department of Urban Studies. The department faculty coordinates interviews and records feedback from the agencies and students. Information about the preferences of students and agencies is not circulated.

The department determines the amount of intern stipend to be paid each student. Agencies are asked to contribute all or a major portion of intern stipends. Students and agencies are asked to avoid any negotiation or discussion regarding stipends. The de­ partment seeks to arrange uniform stipends for all students in the San Antonio area. The target figures are $475 per month for students without dependents and $550 per month for students with dependents. Stipends for out-of-state assignments are usually higher. They too are negotiated by the urban studies faculty. The department seeks to complete the intern assignment process at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the internship appointment. The effective date of appoint­ ment for most students is September 1 each year. GRADUATE PROGRAM IN URBAN STUDIES AT TRINITY UNIVERSITY

An interdisciplinary course of study leading to the M.A. degree in urban studies is offered by the Department of Urban Studies. The program is primarily designed (1) to provide professional level instruction and intensive field experience for persons interested in employment in public or private urban agencies, and (2) to prepare students for doctoral study in urban fields.

The admission standards of the Trinity University Graduate School apply to applicants to the Department of Urban Studies, except that a minimum of 12 semester hours of upper division work in one or more of the social sciences is required of all students entering the program. The Graduate Record Examination is not a requirement for students majoring in urban studies.

Degree requirements in the two-year program include thirty-six semester hours of graduate courses in urban studies, a comprehensive oral and/or written examination, a nine-month internship, and a research project based on the internship or relevant and accepted work experience. All research projects must meet written standards set by the Chairperson of the Department of Urban Studies and approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies. It is expected that these research projects will provide a valuable source of data for comparative urban analyses by professors and students.

Each student will be provided an internship experience of practical and developmental value. During the internship, a close and constructive interaction will be sustained between the urban studies staff, the interns, and supervisory personnel in cooperating agencies. Interns will also be involved in highly flexible noncredit seminars with University staff and consultants. The seminars will focus on analyses of the inter­ locking character of urban problems, processes, and subsystems. Part or all of the internship requirement may be waived by the Chairperson for participants with sub­ stantial relevant work experience in urban agencies. Students needing initial or additional preparation in computer science or statistics may be required to take courses in these fields.

All students seeking the M.A. degree in urban studies must complete the following courses: 090, 099X, 371G, 372G, 382, 384, 386, 387, 388, 689A and 689B.

RATIONALE

The Department of Urban Studies requests University Curriculum Council approval of the establishment of an undergraduate major and minor in Urban Studies.

The proposed curriculum will be liberal arts and interdisciplinary in purpose and content. Its initiation and implementation will require re­ curring participation by faculty members from a broad variety of academic units within the University. Such participation has been specifically and formally pledged by more than the requisite range of faculty members and departments. Indeed, the substance of this proposed curriculum is in great degree the product of practical and creative contributions by faculty members, directors, chairpersons and deans from different elements of the University.

The Department of Urban Studies believes that the following three factors combine in an organic way to provide the rationale for offering a liberal arts curriculum in Urban Studies at Trinity.

1. The historic and decisive future influences of urbani­ zation and cities throughout the world.

2. The need for interdisciplinary and cross-national edu­ cation in the liberal arts as a means of increasing students' understanding of urban realities.

3. The responsibility and opportunity which Trinity Uni­ versity has as a viable liberal arts institution to provide systematic education regarding urbanization for its students.

The curriculum which the department is proposing will be particularly charac­ terized by the features listed below. 1 . The persisting treatment of urbanization or cities as the crucial independent variable.

2. The purely liberal arts character of the structure and content of the program.

3. The recurring use of the systems approach in the analyses of urban phenomena. 4. The concentration of instruction and research on important but relatively understudied intra and extra-urban relation­ ships.

5. The effort to include historical and cross-cultural analyses in virtually all elements of the curriculum. OBJECTIVES

The undergraduate Urban Studies program will provide a unique opportunity to link undergraduate education, faculty research and publication, and community involvement with the rich diversity of urban life. The curricu­ lum will expose the students to a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives and approaches, while involving them in the analysis and synthesis of urban systems'. The mul ti disci pi i nary structure should also foster faculty inter­ change and research, both utilizing San Antonio as a natural "urban labora­ tory" and exploring cross-cultural and cross-national experiences. The program should stimulate an increasing involvement by students and faculty in urban issues both within the San Antonio area and in other communities, through such traditional vehicles as conferences and symposia and a range of new continuing education courses and special practicums.

ORGANIZATION

The Department of Urban Studies will administer and coordinate the under­ graduate program in Urban Studies. The fact that courses in the curriculum will be offered by faculty 'members in different departments means that the undergraduate major in Urban Studies will involve a highly decentralized system. Each course which is offered wholly or primarily by one.or more faculty persons within a single department will yield student credit hours for that academic unit. The Department of Urban Studies plans to recommend a procedure through which each student may only register for an Urban Studies course within the department or program responsible for offering that course.

RESOURCES

The proposed major and minor in Urban Studies may be offered without the addition of any new full-time faculty members in any participating department or program. However, the development and implementation of the curriculum will require additional library resources. It seems clear that the University has adequate resources to support the acquisition of needed library materials. The department hopes to establish an interdepartmental committee to support, stimulate and encourage efforts to expand the University's holdings in Urban Studies. CURRICULUM
