The Michigan Daily-Saturday, April 21, 1979-Page 3 Committee's initial report on Outreach completed By JOHN SINKEVICS The review of the Psychology Depar- tment's Project Outreach will enter its final phase next Thursday when the Literary College's (LSA) Executive .-Committee will decide what revisions will be made in the program. And, ac- cording to faculty members, some of the expected changes will include discontinuing several of the program's projects. The department's Undergraduate Committee handed over recommended revisions of the program to LSA Dean Billy Frye yesterday. However, it will not be known until next fall, which projects will be dropped from the Outreach program. THE LSA Executive Committee, which told the Psychology Department three weeks ago to make substantial revisions in Outreach (Psychology 201) or face revocation of teaching assistant (TA) allocations for next fall, requested specific - changes in the program's teaching structure. Currently, most sections in Outreach are taught by un- dergraduates, and many Executive Committee members said more faculty members and TAs should supervise the 800 students enrolled in the program. Some questions were also raised as to the academic value of several projects currently offered under Outreach, Frye said. "Certainly the experience is probably valuable for the students, but in some instances, there wasn't any academic Regents approve minority Daily photo by DAN OBERDORFER DESPITE THE beautiful weather enticing him outdoors, Oz Aichenbaum, a first-year law student, resolutely turns his back on the view and keeps plugging away at his studies. STUDY DAYS CRAMMING UNDERWAY: task force By MARK PARRENT Following a brief presentation by several members of the Black Student Union (BSU), the Regents yesterday authorized the formation of a special advisory task force to investigate University policies and programs regarding minority students. The task force authorization comes in the wake of a February report by the Office of Academic Affairs, which revealed minority enrollment on the University's Ann Arbor campus fell from 3,204 students in fall, 1977 to 3,129 last fall. ACCORDING TOBSU members, the task force - to be comprised of six minority students, two staff members, two administrators, and two faculty members - will address such issues as minority enrollment and attrition, financial aid arrangements, and the faculty tenure process. BSU spokesman Randy Potts said minority students met with Regents Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor), Thomas Roach (D-Grosse Pointe), Paul Brown (D-Petoskey), and James Waters (D- Muskegon), Thursday morning and discussed the above issues and the for- mation of the task force. . Potts said he expected the Regents would discuss minority issues at some length during yesterday's Regents meeting, but after approval of the for- See REGENTS, Page 6 Weather causes finals 'blues' By PATRICIA HAGEN For students whose firm resolve to keep pace with the courses collapses after midterms,study days are happily a ticipated as a haven in which to play catch up. Three enti days are allotted when each term lapses, providing a chan to party, get some sleep, and above all to cram befo bluebook days begin Saturday. But good intentions failed to pan out when clear blue ski and summerlike temperatures were bestowed upon the ca. pus Wednesday and Thursday. The Diag was crowded wi students drawn outdoors by gorgeous weather. Frisbe floated through he air, joggers and dogs ran through t crowds. SOME STUDENTS SAT on the grass with books attet tp day Who's who' While no one can say for sure, it seems that local reaction may be making the University Regents a bit more humble than usual. As the Board met in the Administration Building late Thursday afternoon Interim University President Allan Smith recognized Vice-President for Financial Affairs James Brinkeroff as "Regent Brinkerhoff." Smith immediately smiled and corrected himself adding, 'I promoted him, I guess.""That's a demotion," quipped Regent Thomas Roach (D-Grosse Pointe). Despite the Regents' confusion at yesterday's meetings, however, the Board members addressed each other correctly. . In black and white The Washtenaw County Coalition Against Apar- theid (WCCAA) could be accused of resorting to scare tactics to prod supporters to yesterday's regents meeting. The week before the regents con- vened, large posters on bathroom doors at the UGLI read: "Whites Only." The purpose of the posters was to dramatize, the legal discrimination that exists in South Africa, according to one WCCAA. member. That member also said the group was considering separating the crowd in the Union ballroom into two groups-whites on one side, eir pting to study in the sun. Others gave up all pretense of n- working and stretched out on the damp grass and dozed. re Stephen Baird, a bearded and blue-jeaned travelling ce musician, attracted a large audience for most of Wednesday re afternoon with folk songs and stories.
