Blacks
By CARLA RAPOPORT
Second of two parts
At an all-black Detroit high school,
one student explains, "It's not that I'm
terribly excited about the University of
Michigan. I'd probably get a lot more
from Fisk or Howard. But if we're going
to change things in this society what
better place is there to start than with
the white university?"
He slouches down in his jacket a little
more. "Besides, my parents have been
paying taxes to support that school for
years when nobody black was in it. I
suspect now I've got some due coming."
When that student arrives in Ann
Arbor next fall, he is likely to find that
when faced with a strange white com-
munity on top of a traditional "white"
curriculum, he may need more "due"
than he had planned on taking.
And when that student starts looking

at

'U.:

for the academic and personal help he
needs to meet the University's demands,
he is likely to find that the various tu-
torial, counselling and job placement
offices open to him are understaffed,
underfunded, and highly de-centralized.
The student will enter the University
under the Opportunity Program (OP)-
as did nearly 90 per cent of the Univer-
sity's present 1,900 black students. The
OP is a four-pronged agency designed
to aid in the recruitment, counselling,
tutoring and financial support of mi-
nority students as part of the Univer-
sity's effort to meet a 10 per cent
minority enrollment by 1973-74 aca-
demic year.
In order to qualify for the program,
the University stipulates an OP candi-
date must be from an "educationally
and socio-economically" disadvantaged
background. On the average, an OP

Suppof
student maintained a 2.7 high school
grade point average while his peers
entered the University on an average
of around 3.4.
Recognizing that the OP student en-
ters the University with an entirely dif-
ferent social and economic back-
ground from the average freshman, the
University operates two main offices
for the personal and academic counsel-
ling of minority students.
However, both administrators and
students alike say these offices-OP
Counselling and the Center for the
Use of Learning Skills (CULS)-are
understaffed and consequently inade-
quate for the growing numbers of
blacks on campus.
Several months ago, these supportive
services offices were carefully reviewed
by staff members. While highly prais-

lags

ing the quality of work in existent of-
fices, the report made sweeping pro-
posals which called for more funding
and the consolidation of the services
into a Black Student Center.
The proposals were rejected by the
Regents and executive officers last
summer as an undesirable move toward
segregation of black affairs.
Thus, CULS, the OP office, and other
services-such as the minority staff in
the job placement office in the SAB,
and the minority counselors in the
various schools and colleges-remain
scattered across campus and are hard
pressed to meet the needs of the Uni-
versity's swelling minority enrollment.
Indeed, according to University fig-'
ures while funding for financial aid to
minority students skyrocketed over six-
ty per cent this year, funding for the

behind
University minority supportive services
program rose only twenty-five per cent.
As a result, black students say they
are sometimes skeptical of the Univer-
sity's sincerity toward supporting mi-
nority enrollment.
"I'll tell you," said a sophomore re-
cently, "sometimes I think they're try-
ing to flunk out ten per cent."
Head of the OP program, Dr William
Cash, assistant to the president on
human relations, has asked the pro-
gram's new advisory committee to sur-
vey the entire program's offerings and
present proposals for its improvement
by Jan. 1.
According to several committee mem-
bers, however, it is unlikely that ' the
work will be completed until next April.

Student Government Council last night debated a mo-
tion calling for the resignation of Administrative Vice-Presi-
dent Jay Hack.
The measure introduced by SGC member John Koza was
presented for a first reading and will come up for a vote at
next week's Council meeting. It follows recent criticism of
Hack by several of his fellow Council members.
In his opening remarks, Koza described Hack as basic-
ally a political person who is not "tempermentally suited"
for an administrative position. "The administrative vice-
president" said Koza, "has not performed that type of func-
tion."
"He has involved himself;
Indi sets too often in policy questions," Center ets
kP Koza continued "and he has
" spoken as a representative of

not have done so."

Citing what it calls "mani-
fest deficiencies in the Uni-
versity's affirmative action
program," PROBE, a group of
University women, has again
filed a formal complaint with
the federal g o v e r n m e n t
against the University.
The complaint is atwo-pronged
f* ~ attack on the University adminis-
'tration. It charges the University
with acting in bad faith concern-
ing its goals and timetables for
increased hiring of women, while
at the same time calling the goals
"distorted, confused, and de-
ficient."
Filed two weeks ago with the
Department of Labor, the corn-'
plaint will be passed along to the
Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare (HEW) for examina-
tion. The two federal agencies are
responsible for administering an
executive order prohibiting dis-
crimination by federal contractors,
including universities.
PROBE also filed the original:
complaint 18 months ago which
charged the University with sex

acceptable plan for the elimina-

the threat of withholding federal
j contracts.

From Wire Service Reports
LANSING - A bill reducing
the penalty for possession of
marijuana from a felony to a
misdemeanor may come up for
approval this week in the State
Legislature.
Sen. Robert Richardson, chair-
man of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, said Wednesday that
Senate and House conferees
have "tentatively agreed" on re-
ducing the penalty.

Under the proposal, a 90-day
sentence could be imposed for a
new offense - possession with
intent to use.
Possession without a showing
that there' was intent to use by
the possessor would carry a
maximum penalty of one year
in jail, but would be classed as
a misdemeanor.
Agreement by the conferees
