Mayor warns
*of tough future
for minorities,

By BETH ALLEN
Minority students were urged to
take advantage of all this college has
to ,offer" at the opening ceremonies of
the Minority Arts and Cultural Festival
at EastQuad last night.
Robert Blackwell, mayor of Highland
Park and the keynote speaker at the
ceremony, did not offere many op-
trmistic predictions for minorities in
the coming years. "Opportunities for
iany blacks and minorities have im-
proved in the past decade," said
Blackwell, "but many are in trouble."
BBLACKWELL SAID he expects
drastic changes in government, and
that many programs assisting
minorities will not survive.
Blackwell also warned of the resur-
facing of groups that promote racial
arnd ethnic intolerance, saying they can
be dealt with successfully and must not
be allowed to operate "with impunity
and immunity."
, Blacks have a common bond that
links them, Blackwell said, even though
aigir culture and background encom-
passes several nations.
I.,N LIGHT OF the current economic

and social circumstances, Blackwell
strongly urged the students to "be ac-
tive in your communities. Your sur-
vival will depend on how insistent you
are in getting the government off the
backs of the people," he said.
Blackwell became the first black
council member of the Highland Park
City Council in 1965 and currently is
serving his second term as mayor of
that city.
The three-day festival is sponsored
by ABENG, a minority student
organization in East Quad. Although
ABENG has been primarily a black-
oriented group over the past few years,
it is open to other minorities, according
to ABENG coordinator Heyward
Maben.
ABENG has sponsored the festival
for the past seven years during Black
History Month, which is celebrated in
February.
Maben said the festival is designed to
"give minority students on campus a
chance to exhibit their tplents and show
a portion of their culture." He added
that he hoped the festival would help
educate the University community.

Several faculty members and students
presented testimony to the committee
in an effort to prevent the cutback of
CRLT's services. "I think we pay a lot
of lip-service to teaching at the Univer-
sity, but when the money comes down
on the line, it's for research," said
Peter Hinman, a Math professor who
received a $4,000 grant from CRLT's in-
structional development fund to set up
a math laboratory.
Hinman, who is in charge of all the
teaching assistants in his department,
said the department has used CRLT's
training program quite extensively to
train teaching assistants. "Most ivory-
tower academics don't really know how
to evaluate their teaching," Hinman
told the committee.
Art Prof. John Rush said without the
$1,300 grant he received in 1973 he
would have been unable to produce the
series of video films on sculpting
techniques he made to "direct students
who wanted a frame of reference."
"IT SEEMS AS if a 25 percent cut can
be made without having any impact on
the University or on McKeachie's
priorities for CRLT" according to the
January 22 minutes of the CRLT
Review Committee. The minutes also
said, "cutting the IDF (instructional
development fund) won't change much,
since this is just another kitty to use and
departments will fund projects from
other sources."
According to the minutes, the com-
mittee will be looking at the possibility

Yet cuts
of eliminating the Memo to the Faculty
which CRLT publishes, as well as the
possibility of recommending "far more
extensive cuts than those proposed." ;
Benno Fricke, Director of
Evaluations and Examinations is
among those whose jobs will 13e
eliminated if McKeachie's recommen'
dations are approved. "I suppose the
main reason (the Evaluations and
Examinations Office will be
eliminated)," said Fricke, "is realty
the obvious one, we're located in the
Rackham building" whereas the CRLZ
building is located on Madison St.
"I don't blame them for that. I under-
stand. You wouldn't think of cutting
someone next door to you," Frickesaid.
"Looking at what had to go, that (the
Evaluations and Examinations Office)
seemed to be one of the things we had
where a cut could have the least impact
on the quality of teaching," McKeachie
said. McKeachie explained that the test
scoring service the office provides wil
be cut "except for very large courses
where no alternative is feasible.
The office currently provides infor
mation to the faculty about students"}
characteristics and achievements, ad-
ministers national tests such as the
SAT, MCAT, and GRE, and ad-
ministers admissions, orientation and
placement tests.
According to McKeachie's proposal,
CRLT will "try to persuade the School
of Education to assume responsibility
for national tests," and "turn ad-
missions and placement over to the
Orientation office."

January for an update on the selec-
tion process, and was told that as a
result of the student service review,
the vacancy left by Garland would
not be filled.
'Moorehead has determined that
the need is not there for a 40-hour a
week black representative," John-
son said yesterday. "It's an ad-
ministrative position I support." He
added that a full-time black
representative in the office has not
been hired because "there are plen-
ty of services for blacks across
campus.".
In an article published in the
November, 1980, "Black Perspec-
tives" newspaper, Hunter wrote,
"Since the Black Representative
position is now vacant, the Univer-
sity 'sees this as a chance to
eliminate the position. They state
that ethnicity is not important in a
Minority Student Service office."
But Johnson denied that any at-
tempt was being made to downplay
the representative's ethnic
backgrounds, adding that he felt it
was very important that black
students be able to meet with black
counselors.
Johnson, who was "incensed"
over the Black Perspectives article,
said, "What they don't want to un-
derstand is that the decision (to not
replace Garland) was reached after
a task-force was formed to re-
organize the advocate offices of
MSS."
Johnson said that in 1977 MSS
representative's duties had been
streamlined into more "functional"
positions. He said research, housing,
student services, and financial aid
would receive highest priorities.
Moorehead said Wednesday that
the staff's function is to match up
'minority students' needs with the
following programs: Minority Coun-
seling and Information Services, the
Coalition for the Use of Learning
Skills (CULS), Opportunity
Program, and Trotter House.
Larry Balbar, the only represen-
tative left in the MSS office, said,
"There's been a real period of flux
over the past six months." The
overall (budget cutting) atmosphere
is creating a bad situation all-
around," he said.

dedication to working for people." The
words echoed her sentiments in 1974 in
announcing her first bid for governor,
when she said she had always been
"guided by only one principle-to work
for people and to serve them with all
my heart and mind and spirit."
. GRASSO WAS a Democratic Party
stalwart who never lost an election. She

won first in 1952 as a candidate for the
state House of Representatives, served
as Connecticut secretary of state and in
the U.S. Congress, and was re-elected
as governor in 1978.
Family was also a top priority-she
called her husband Thomas her best
friend and closest confidante, and said
she could never live anywhere except

the Hartford suburb of Windsor Locks,
her birthplace, because her parents
were buried there.
She boasted of her warm relationship
with the public, and was fond of saying:
"You can put me down anywhere in the
state and I can find somebody to talk
to."
BUT BY EARLY 1978, some obser-
vers said Grasso was in political
trouble. She faced a challenge within
her party-some Democrats said she
had allowed state services and in-
stitutions to deteriorate-and
Republicans were hopeful of a victory

in November.
Active in the Democratic Party
nationally, Grasso was among the first
party leaders to'support President Car-
ter's re-election bid, and headed his
campaign in the Connecticut primary.
But Sen. Edward Kennedy won the
state primary.
Born May 18, 1919, to Italian im-
migrants, Grasso grew up in the
Depression-hard times she said taught
lessons on spending: "We learned that
you could make do with very little and
how to make a little bit go a long way."

Computer to aid in
birth control method

LONDON (AP) - Four scientists
here have reported the development of
a computer that signals a woman's
period of fertility - an advance that
could help Roman Catholics practice
natural birth control.
A sensitive thermometer that reads
minute variations in a woman's tem-
perature determines when she is infer-
tile.
The inventors - a World Health
Organization team of three Britons and

an American - call the device an "in-
telligent thermometer." They say it has
proved 100 percent reliable in recording
the fertility cycles of 50 women who
took part in tests.
The researchers said that besides
helping Catholics obedient to the chur-
ch's dictates, the invention would be
useful to couples who do not want to use
mechanical methods and to women
worried about the effects of the pill.
