The Michigan Daily-Thursday, December 6, 1979-Page 3 LSA-SG approves new action groups to up student input C9 Daily Photo by LISA KLAUSNER ART STUDENT RAY WETZEL examines a felt and plastic construction by fellow artist Eve Yonis. The exhibit, currently being held at the Rackham and Slusser Galleries, is shown as part of a display by Bachelor of Fine Arts students. Art school students please their public with creations in campus galleries By ELAINE RIDEOUT The goal of every artist is to have his or her art seen and appreciated by as many people as possible. In keeping with that goal, as well as University tradition, students in their final semester in the School of Art are taking turns filling the Raekham and Slusser galleries with their best works in a variety of artistic areas as part of the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree shows. In most cases, the BFA show affords students their first opportunity to show their work. This week at Slusser Gallery in the Art School,' six artists have on display works in photography, painting, weaving, jewelry, metaismithing, drawing, and wood- working. At Rackham, four students are presenting exhibits in fabric and paper sculpture. L THE PURPOSE of the senior exhibition, according to graphic art student Linda Alvira, is to give the student a chance to display works from a major field, and to show the "cream" of three to four years of work in several different areas. Alvira has represen- tatives of her efforts in photography, watercolor, drawing, and jewelry, in addition to her graphics on display at Slusser. "We concentrate in one area, but have to go through various studio classes," explained Leslie Baum, a fabric major. "The shows are usually a real mixture." Although prices are not posted on displayed items, most artistsdare willing to sell their work. Artists may be contacted through the artist on duty at Rackham, or located through the Art School. ART STUDENTS are not required to take part in a BFA show, but, according to sculptor Sarah Kass, there are usually at least four shows each semester. "Galleries are reserved early," she said. "There's almost always something going on at Slusser." The BFA show currently in Slusser Gallery will close Friday. The gallery will reopen Monday, Dec. 9 with a new exhibit. The Rackham exhibition will continue through Dec. 14. Slusser Gallery, located at the east end of the Art School, is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 9 to noon. Rackham Gallery, in the Rackham Building, is open weekdays from 1-5 p.m. BFA shows as well as Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree shows will continue to be held throughout the winter term. By DAVID MEYER The LSA-Student Government (LSA- SG), in its final meeting of the term yesterday, approved a proposal outlining the formation of three new student action groups and tabled a con- troversial resolution supporting University divestment in South Africa. LSA-SG President Dan Solomon's successful proposal will create three student groups which will provide LSA- SG with student input and opinion on such issues as tenure, minimum proficiency requirements of graduate teaching assistants, and affirmative action. Solomon emphasized that any students interested in working on any of the three groups are encouraged to sign up in the LSA-SG office in the Michigan Union. THE GROUPS - the Curriculum Ac- tion Group, the Affirmative Action Committee, and the Administrative Issues Group - will be organized as soon as classes begin for the. winter term in January. The Curriculum Action Group will b primarily concerned with researching and reporting back to LSA-SG on such issues as alternatives to distribution requirements, especially those concer- Women athletes to decline new funds (Continued from Page 1) not damage the University's athletic program. "Thisorder won't put us out of business," he said. Canham has just returned from a conference of Big Ten athletic directors, and he said Title IX was a topic of discussion. He said the directors were worried "about having to spend equal amounts for women's and men's teams." However, Monday's ruling wiped out that worry, saying colleges and univer- sities will not have to make expen- ditures proportionally among women's and men's intercollegiate, club, and in- tramural sports, but must only assure tha t athletic benefits and oppor- tunities must be distributed equitably. CANHAM E XPLAINED that more money is spent on men's than on women's teams at the University because the men's squads are larger and the Equipment costs higher than for female teams. "We treat all our male and female athletes equally," Canham added, saying that he intends to comply with the ruling. Ocker said her department was receiving adequate funds now and that she does not expect the ruling to dncrease her budget significantly. Policing of the new policy may not begin for a few months because the newly-created Department of Education is still getting organized, Blamphin said. He said regional civil rights boards will select schools to be investigated based on chances of having compliance problems. "If, for example, a school's men's teams have winning records and its women's teams .have losing records, that school stands a good chance of bein investigated," Blamphin said. ning foreign language and math, and reviewing the proficiency and possible training programs for graduate teaching assistants. The Affirmative Action Committee will deal with issues including minority recruitment and admissions practices, minority student services, high minority attrition rates and the com- parably low numbers of women and minority faculty. THE ADMINISTRATIVE Issues Group will concentrate on the issues of tenure, counseling and promoting student involvement on administrative committees. All the action groups will be backed by LSA-SG and will be responsible for reporting group findings and suggested resolutions to the council. The degree of autonomy that the groups will even- tually enjoy was debated at length and was eventually tabled until LSA-SG's next meeting on January 16, 1980. Council member Beth Lori's proposed resolution advocating statewide public divestment in South Africa was also tabled after extensive debate because council members could not agree on the relevancy of the issue to LSA-SG.

Administration officials said yester- day they are seeking $800 million in President Carter's upcoming 1981 budget to start the program, which they expect will cost $2 billion a year when it becomes fully operational around 1983. THE OFFICIALS, who asked not to be named, said Carter is pommitted to the program in his new budget, to be" unveiled in January. But details will not be worked out fully for about one week. The program would target substan- tial federal aid for the first time on economically disadvantaged youth of junior and senior high school age - those in school as well as dropouts, the officials said. Some money would go directly to eligible school districts to supplement educational programs for the predominantly urban, minority youth. Other funds would be channeled FILlMS Cinema Guild-Jailhouse Rock, 7 p.m., Swing Time, 9:05 p.m., Old A& D. Army ROTC Week-Weekend Adventure, 9 p.m., Markley.

ACCORDING TO administration estimates, the program would reach up to one million young people in school and several hundred thousand dropouts and high school graduates. Currently, the government has a Head Start program, which helps poor elementary school children. It also has programs that help young people past school age. But little money has been directed at the age group in between, said a White House official. ACCORDING TO Labor Department figures, one in three minority teen- agers is unemployed. The program likely will be the only major domestic initiative in Carter's budget for fiscal 1981, which begins next Oct. 1. The president's budget managers are trying to keep a tight rein on new spen- ding as part of Carter's anti-inflation strategy. As a result, most federal agencies are being urged to trim back existing programs or to keep them at current levels. OFFICIALS AT the Labor Depar- tment, which would administer the youthtprogram with the new Education Department, saidthey are hoping Car- ter will not order a cut in other jobs programs to offset the added cost of the new program. The officials expressed particular concern that they may be forced to cut back on the number of CETA public service jobs that will be available in 1981.
