"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.

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.
