Ending a lengthy trend toward low
donations to the Martin Luther King
Scholarship fund, the Black Graduates
of the University Alumni Association
this year raised a record $62,700 -
more than $12,000 higher than their
goal.
The first scholarships will be awar-
ded later this spring to "highly
qualified freshmen with financial
need," according to Robert Holmes, the
University's director of special
academic services.
THE KING Scholarship Fund, star-
ted in 1968, "has been dormant for a
long time," according to Reginald Er-
nst, leader of the fundraising. "We
wanted to resurrect it, to fulfill the
dream."
The idea of revitalizing the King
Scholarship Fund grew from Black
Graduates' reunions of the past five
years, according to Yolanda Shannon,
chairwoman of the 1981 Black
Graduates Reunion Committee. "We
wanted to do something for the studen-
ts, so we set up a scholarship commit-
tee to look into the possibility of reac-
tivating the fund."
The committee's work produced a
six-week fundraising blitz netting
$62,777 in cash and pledges. "We star-
ted the drive last fall, and focused on a
personal campaign," Shannon ex-
plained. "Most of the graduates that
did the fundraising knew the people
they were contacting and we were very
successful this way."
SPECIAL Services Director Homes
is part of the seven-member awards
committee, which will meet March 24 to
discuss the number and dollar amount
of scholarships. The scholarships could
be as high as $1,000 each, according to
Holmes, but "the amount could fluc-
tuate, since the awards will be partially
based on financial need."
The committee must also decide the
criteria for applicants. Students with
financial need will receive priority, but
there will be other considerations, ac-
cording to Dave Robinson, assistant
director of admissions and a member of
the awards committee.
"The applicants will be required to
write a statement, telling us whep they
feel they need and deserve the scholar-
ship," he said. "They will also be asked
to write a short essay on why they feel
minorities should seek a higher
education."
Committee members also said funds
will be available to students who need
emergency financial aid. Robinson
noted that the Alumni Association
probably would administer such a
program. "They've got quite a bit of
experience in that area," he said.
The success of this year's drive has
ignited hopes that the program can be
expanded. "We're certainly not going
to limit this," said organizer Ernst.
"This is the beginning of something
that will grow and perpetuate."

In spite of threats of prosecution and
stern penalties - up to five years in
prison and/or a $10,000 fine - many
men between the ages of 18 and 21
haven't shown up to register for the
draft.
"I don't care what the government
threatens to do" said Ypsilanti resident
Mark Kukla, 18. "There's no way I'm
going to sign my life away."
ALTHOUGH authorities have not
served any indictments against
violators of the March 1 registration
deadline, "It's just a matter of time,"
according to Naomi Thier, a draft
counselor for the Draft Action Commit-
tee in Washington.
"The chance of prosecution depends
on how public the individual is," Thier
claimed. So far, the Justice Depar-
tment has singled oat151 highly visible
resistors for action. "There is a
political conspiracy against them,"
Thier claimed. "They are being used
as scapegoats."
Draft counselors like Thier adlvise
men required to register of their options
and the consequences of their decisions.
"IF ONE opposes American foreign
policy and doesn't wish to condone it,
the best route is to silently refuse," said
Alex Reyes, counselor for the National
Resistance Committee. "But if their
conscience moves them to state their
reasons, we will help them avoid the in-
creased threat of prosecution."
According to Reyes, most non-
registrants are apolitical, and don't
voice their objections publicly. "The
act itself is not a reactionof political
beliefs, but personal ones," he said.
Ignoring registration, however, is a
political protest in itself, he added.
CURRENT estimates of the number
of resistors range from 927,000 to as
high as one million. Such vast numbers
make it nearly impossible for the
government to enforce legal penalties,
counselors claim. They point out that
there are only 30,000 cells available in
U.S. prisons.
But members of the various anti-
draft and anti-registration movements
say they are ready to mobilize once the
indictments begin. "Any attempt by the
government to proceed with trials of
the resistors wil be met by large com-
munity support by the non-
registrants," said Mary Roth, a coun-
selor for Ann Arbor's Draft, GI, and
Veterans Counseling Center.
LOCAL AND national protest groups
plan to combine their forces for an-
ti -draft efforts. "Registration is a clear
admission of a prelude to draft induc-
tion," said Marc Mauer, a member of
the American Friends Service Commit-
tee. "Unprecedented amount of
resistance is a means of telling the
government, 'No way.' "
Rallies, teach-ins, and campaigns to
local district attorneys offices are
possible tactics, according to Mauer.
"SELECTIVE Service is running
scared," Roth claimed.
"All the current talk abut the just-
expired grace period was a way for the
government to give itself a breather
period before they make fools of them-
selves," she said.

on social issues.
The Republican officials also backed,
in principle, President Reagan's "new
federalism" program to transfer about
40 federal programs to states and called
on Congress to enact the needed
legislation this year.
But at the behest of GOP governors
attending the session, the conference
said the federal government should
retain much of the financial respon-
sibility for welfare programs and that
state governments should not be
"financially penalized" for picking up
federal programs.
Reagan's "new federalism" proposal
called for the federal government to
take over Medicaid with the states
assuming responsibility for welfare
programs.
