the committee has compiled a fact
sheet showing that, while 68.6 per cent
of non-minority applicants were accep-
ted, smaller percentages (62.1 per cen-
for total minorities and 57.6 per cent for
blacks) of minority applicants were
admitted to the University last fall.
"THE ADMISSIONS Office says they
have been tightening their requiremen-
ts (for minorities) hoping that the
problem of attrition will improve," said
Kozarsky.
"We review the requirements for
admission every year, both for oppor-
tunity (educationally disadvantaged)
and non-opportunity students," ex-
plained Lance Erickson, associate
director of admissions. "This year the
requirements were a little tighter in
terms of grades and SAT's for oppor-
tunity students, with the reason in mind
to improve retention and success of
students here on campus."
academic actions show that more Op-
portunity Program students are
dismissed for academic reasons than
non-opportunity students. After their
freshman year, 13.8 per cent of oppor-
tunity students are dismissed, while 4.5.
,per cent of non-opportunity students
are asked to leave.
KOZARSKY CRITICIZED the ad-
ministration's efforts to keep oppor-
tunity students and other minorities at
the University. "The attitude of the
administration is really a 'blame the
victim' kind of attitude," he said.
"They seem to feel that they are
dealing with forces beyond their con-
trol."
In the area of budgeting, the LSA-SG
committee reports that over the past
four years financial aid for opportunity
students has increased at a higher rate
than financial aid for non-minority
have increased 3.16 per cent, while total
financial aid increased 1.85 per cent.
In terms of real money adjusted to in-
flation, financial aid awards have
decreased over the past four years,
Kozarsky said. Costs of tuition and
living expenses also have increased
much faster than the amount of finan-
cial aid given to both minority and non-
minority students.
Kozarsky says his committee is con-
cerned over Lhe recent LSA Executive
Committee decision that course above
the 300 level can no longer be taught by
teaching assistants. He says the
decision is a "pretty strong setback"
because it may eliminate a number of
minority and women's courses.
Although still in "the speculation"
stage, LSA-SG has been considering in-
viting a black research group from
Detroit to investigate minority-related
concerns at the University.

State Senate opens
debate on wetlands
Join

By MARY FARANSKI
The Michigan Senate yesterday
opened debate on a controversial bill
designed to protect Michigan's wetlan-
ds from haphazard development.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Kerry
Kammer (D-Pontiac) is the first of)ts
kind to reach debate in the Senate and
has pitted environmentalists against in-
terests hoping to develop wetlands for
use in industries such as timber, far-
ming and mining.
PROPONENTS of the bill stressed
that 6,500 acres of wetlands are
destroyed each year. They point to the
wetlands as a natural means of flood
control since one acre of wetland can
retain 30,000 gallons of rainwater. If a
wetland is filled for alternative use an
expensive drainage system must be
built to eliminate excess rain water.
Opponents of the bill, led by Sen.
Joseph Mack (D-Ironwood) say the
bill's restrictions on wetland use will
worsen unemployment in the Upper
Peninsula where many of the state's
wetlands are located.
The bill defines a wetland as an area
that holds surface water long enough to
maintain growth of aquatic vegetation.
Lakes, marshes, bogs, swamps, rivers
and coastal waters fit this definition.
THE BILL states that a person
wishing to dredge, drain or fill in a
wetland must first submit a permit ap-
plication to the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) which will then
decide if the development of the
wetland area is in the public interest.
The bill calls for a $2,500 fine to be
charged daily against persons filling in
a wetland area without a permit, until
they stop the development. Presently,
any person or company may develop a
wetland if it is on their own private
property.
Public Interest Research Group in
Michigan (PIRGIM) spokesman John
Hickey said, "The penalty system is
one of the strong points of the bill in that
it gives adequate protection (from in-
discriminate destruction of wetlands.)"
LARRY GOOD, an aide to Kammer
said approximately 60 to 70 per cent of
Michigan's wetlands have been filled in
since the state began to build and
develop.
"It's a serious problem that we hope
to get a handle on. That's the reason for
the bill," said Good.
The Senate bill corresponds to one in-
troduced in the House by Rep. Thomas
Anderson (D-Southgate). Wetlands
legislation has been an issue in the
House for seven years, with bills
passing in 1974 and 1976, but dying in
the Senate.
Good said he expects debate on the
bill to last several weeks.
Catcher Jimmy -Wilson ended two
years of retirement to play for the Cin-
cinnati Reds against the Detroit Tigers
in 1940 and hit .353 in six games.
