  We introduce a lattice fermion-Higgs model with one component `reduced
staggered' fermions. In order to use the fermion field as efficiently as
possible we couple the two {\em staggered} flavors to the O(4) Higgs field
leading to a model with only one SU(2) doublet in the scaling region. The
number of fermions is doubled in a numerical investigation of the model with
the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We present results for the phase diagram,
particle masses and renormalized couplings on lattices ranging in size from
$6^3 24$ to $16^3 24$.
