SURVIVAL OF CENTER THREATENED 'U' 'abandons child care center By STEVE HOOK University officials decided yesterday not to, assit the Child Care Action Center (CCAC) in finding a new home-a move that discourages hope for the survival of the campus-based day care center. The center, located on the third floor of the School of Education building, has been ruled unsafe by state fire inspec- tors under special guidelines for such facilities. The tentative closing for the self-supporting center is scheduled for the end of the month. CCAC officials remain hopeful, however, a six-month ''provisional license" can be obtained and have received tentative approval from the license bureau in Lansing. SINCE BEING notified of their evic- tion, according to CCAC spokesman Kenyon Brown, the day care center has been "grabbing onto anyone or- anything that looks hopeful." Henry Johnson, University Vice- President for Student Services, after meeting with CCAC workers last week, brought the center's case to the Univer- sity officials yesterday at their weekly executive meeting. Johnson and the other five University vice-presidents, along with Interim President Allan Smith, ; concluded other University priorities would take precedence over the center. "No one is against child care," John- son said yesterday after the meeting. "But against the scheme of things that have to be put before it, it (CCAC) fell very low on our list of priorities." John- son said he and other University of- ficials were well aware that the decision may force CCAC's closing. "WHEN IT CAME to either space allocation or capital investment, we didn't figure it (CCAC) would rise to a high priority," explained Smith. The officials rejected outright a list of alternative sites for the day care cen- ter offered by CCAC workers. One of the suggested locations was in the Union. More than 35 children attend the cen- ter daily, CCAC workers said. Univer- sity students and volunteer workers make up the majority of the center's staff. "IT'S REALLY disappointing," Margaret Elias, CCAC co-director said. "There's really nothing else to say." In the past, local fire inspections have found the CCAC safe, but a recent state inspection objected to its. third floor location as a fire hazard. Inspectors also said the 32 large-sized hallway doors leading to a safe exit would make an emergency escape difficult for pre- schoolers. CCAC workers said finding a new location for the day care center will be a difficult task without University help. They also said it was "unfair" that the University provides space and funding for student programs, but will not give the center a new rent-free location. "WE ARE OCCUPYING a space we need," Smiley said. "Day care enters all around town are -full. Both the University facilities (CCAC and Pound House) have long waiting lists." Smiley said there is need for the center, as 'U' students and faculty can "pursue their career goals while maintaining contact with their children." CCAC workers are currently looking for off-campus locations to, house the day care center, but would rather have a new University location. "If we want to maintain that we are a University day care center, we should stay on campus," Smiley said. "It's very important that we stay on cam- pus." "We're going to stop and take another look at the whole thing," Smiley added. "We're not going to give up hope."

Tuition trouble for Western U's Iranians i _) -I 1 J _ - q7 yy HERE t £ i KALAMAZOO (UPI) - Iranian students unable to get money from home because of the political upheaval in Iran have another six weeks to pay their tuition and fees or face expulsion from school and possible revocation of their visas. Western Michigan University of- ficials announced yesterday 60 of the 215 Iranians enrolled at the school for the winter semester were granted the extension after they filed individual ap- peals with the student payment com- mittee. WINTER CLASSES began Jan. 3 and will end April 21 for WMU's 20,000 students. The Iranians and about a dozen other students now have until March 23 to pay their bills. The payment deadline originally was extended to Jan. 22, then to Feb. 5 before school officials began con- sidering the students' problems on a case-by-case basis. The 215 Iranians at WMU are among 1,600 going to school in Michigan and thousands more attending classes at schools across the country. Immigration officials have said anyone admitted to this country on a student visa is subject to removal from the country if that student status is lost, which could happen if the students fail to meet tuition deadlines set by the in- dividual schools. WILL YOU STAND Farmers demonstrate at White House' (Continued from Page 1) The White House parade was good- tempered, with farmers and their families riding in the scoop of a back- hoe and on the cab roofs, playing guitars and waving flags. THE TRACTORS were plastered with signs such as "Dump Carter," "Peace, Hope, Parity" and "Cows may Come and Cows may Go, but USDA (Agriculture Department) Bull goes on Forever." Police removed only one bus from their barricade of the Mall area, bet- ween the Washington Monument and the Capitol, to let the tractors through. Other buses, garbage and tow trucks and police vans remained bumper-to- ,bumper at all exits to prevent a Attorneys explain their use of expanded funding for MSA repetition of Monday's epic traffic snarl. SEVERAL DOZEN farmers listened quietly as Bergland discussed American farm exports before the House Foreign Affairs Committee but some booed him as he left the hearing room. Bergland told reporters he felt many of the farmers faced real financial problems but some were "driven by greed." On the Mall itself, restless farmers raced other tractors up and down the road, - overturning one. Another knocked down a fire hydrant opposite the Agriculture Department, releasing a gushing torrent until firemen were able to shut off a major water main. )m ON: THE MBE? 4 1 1979 MBE DATES: February 28 July 25 The one book that can make the difference between success and failure on the MBE' Barron's How to Prepare for the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) by Victor E, Schwartz.

They anticipate 1,200 to 1,500 coming .through their-office during the year. Open file cases do not include ad- visory legal services. . As examples of their work, Teich and Rose discussed a do-it-yourself-divorce system they have prepared, as well as a do-it-yourself shoplifting court kit. Students have also been able to try their own cases against landlords, according to Rose. IN THAT CASE, Rose said legal ser- vices advised the students who sued for eviction by their landlord, and taught then! how to go about presenting their own case. The tenants won the case, and in the end received more than they had asked for. "It's a good trend towards demystifying the law, and teaching people how to use the courts," Rose said. Rose and Teich have also been busy with writing housing legislation for the city. They worked-to pass a state truth in renting law, which stipulated honesty in leases, as well as writing fair renting practices proposals. They have also worked on several state housing laws. ROSE, WHO has been an attorney with the organization for five years, said: "Legal Services is a way students can determine their own fate. Students are considered clients. "It's a rare thing in this University. We get along with the clients, and they Lffohann c8tiauss %X X. -00 MIA ' like us," he explained to MSA mem- bers.- Rose and Teich thanked the assembly for the funding support. Said Teich: "We'd like to thank you (MSA) for allowing us to be possible and wanting us to do this as well as possible. This is your service. "It's funded through MSA, and you (MSA) can say to anyone on campus tat this is what MSA does. It's substan- tial," Teich continued," and I hope you think it's substantial." MSA President Eric Arnson said he though Student Legal Services is effec- tive and added, "They (Student Legal Services) deserve a real note of ap- preciation."
