Dearborn gets
freshman class
(Continued from Page 1)
Despite its being an urban
University, supposedly geared to
the problems of the inner city,
only six per cent of the campus
is black or Spanish speaking.
Goodall hopes to be able to
attain 10 per cent black en-
rollment by 1973-74 - the goal
accepted by the Regents after
last year's Black Action Move-
ment strike at the Ann Arbor
campus.
In addition, an entirely new
curriculum has been developed
to accommodate the new stu-
dents - all of whom are par-
ticipating in a literary college
program. Dearborn has until
now primarily been an engi-
neering and business school.
The program's innovative na-
ture comes from a special work-
study cooperative program in
which students attend classes
one semester and have practical
work experience the next.
The newness of the program
allows faculty members much
latitude in which to move. En-
glish Prof.. Elton Higgs says the
faculty has tried to do "some-
thing not necessarily traditional
but rather some blend of the old
and the new to- give a fr'eshness
to the program."
Central to the freshman pro-
gram is the "Freshman ex-
ploratory" - designed to re-
place traditional first year En-
glish courses. Exploratory sec-
tions are small and based on
topics ranging from "Tragedy in
the Life of Man" to "Che Gue-
vara".
"The course

Sororities work for new image
(Continued from Page 1)
the socially oriented, closely su-
pervised apolitical life of a sor-
ority is a thing of the past.
"Sure, sororities are changing
from what they were five years
ago," says Shannon. "They're
changing just as much as the
girls are."
Shannon explains that sorori-
ties are only about as socially
active as most coed dorms.
While dances and other spe-
cial events occur regularly,
they are not the focal point of
sorority life.
Instead, according to many
sbrority women, philanthropic
and even political activities take
up much of their time. Many
cited the work of their houses
which included setting up a
blood banks, working for abor-
tion reform, working with the
blind and the handicapped, and
organizing course mart courses.
. Most sorority women are
moderate to liberal politically,
says Mary Ann Dantzer of Al-
pha Xi Delta. Most seem to be
interested in political reform
only as far, as working within
the system."
"You'll find that freaky peo-
ple don't join sororities," she
observes.
In recent years, sororities have
also begun to liberalize their
regulations.
In most sororities actives are
not required to abide by any
particular dress code, Panhel
officers say, and visitation
hours are increasing.
Most sororities now allow men
in the women's rooms from 7 to
11 p.m. on weeknights, and have
a continuous open-open policy
from Friday evening to Sunday
evening. Although this is not as
liberal as most dormitories' 24-
hour open-open policy, Shannon
emphasizes that it represents an
improvement.
"We try to follow the lead of
the University in changing our
policies. A sorority can't survive
unless it follows general campus'
trends," she says.
The members say this modern-
ization makes sororities much
like University co-ops, except
for the "bond of sisterhood."
"I really can't explain it,"
says Elaine Friedenberg. "It's
much more than just the
house."
According to Carroll, it
means always being able to de-
pend on the people you live
with. "When you live in a soror-
ity, there's always somebody
there," she says.
But, while academic pursuits
are important, one of the
things freshmen feel must be
created is a "sense of commun-
ity" - a difficult achievement
in a school to which many stu-
dents commute.
With this in mind, students
who hope to live on campus
want new housing units built as
the present ones can only ac-
commodate 120 of the 1300 stu-
dents.
One admissions official hopes
that a basketball team can be
established to bring students
together outsidevofhthe class-
room and to "give them a sense
of identity and something to be
be proud of." Further, such a
move might prove useful to re-
cruiting minority students - a
task made difficult by the
image of Dearborn as a white,
middle-class suburb.
University- officials say they
expect the political attitudes on
the traditionally quiet campus
to change somewhat. "With the
introduction of 17 and 18 year
olds to a campus which has had
an average age of 26, there is a
perspective of youth on issues
that has never been here be-
fore," says Hessler.
Goodall hopesthat student
input can be obtained through
liaison committees which have
been set up for academic and
student affairs and facilities.
In coming years, Goodall says
he hopes to emphasize Dear-
born's role asan urban univer-
sity. "We have to concentrate
now on curriculum and meeting
the needs of minority students
and urban vocational needs,"
he says.
