black issues researcher

The Michigan Student Assembly,
which is already looking for a resear-
cher on campus military issues, voted
last night to hire a second professional
} researcher, this one to study the
problems of black students.
The motion, which was co-sponsored
by five of the assembly's seven black
members, was approved unaninously
and was clearly an echo of the assem-
bly's decision two weeks to hire a
military issues researcher.
MSA AGREED last night to give the
second reseacher as much as the salary
given the first, ranging up to $1,080 per
term. But, though the money has been
approved, the jobs have not yet been
filled.
Interviews for both positions willbe
scheduled in the fyture, assembly
members said, and competitive bids
will be accepted to hire the researcher
for the lowest possible salary.
MSA President Amy Moore said the
vote shows the importance of the issue.
Clarence Stone, one of the members
who proposed the motion, said the
researcher, in addition to defining the
problems of black on campus, will try
to come up with possible solutions to
those problems.
Peter Ford, another of the sponsors,
said coming up with possible solutions
will help students negotiate with the
administration for better conditions for
campus blacks.
"WHAT 'WE'RE trying to do is
something unique," he said last night.
"We want to come up with some
proposals which we can follow along
with the administration. I think we
could get along with the University
(administrators) much better is we
could come up with some specific
plans."
Backers of the new research position
said the idea was sparked by concern
over continually falling black'
enrollment at the University. "I see the
University as a racist institution," said
Randy Hhyman, an observer at the
assembly for the Bursley Hall Minority
Council, "and I'm not proud of it."
Sponsors of the motion turned down
suggestions that the new researcher
could look into the problems of all cam-
pus minorities, not just blacks. The
problems of blacks are the most severe,
they argued, and deserve the most at-
tention.

University law students, graduate
students, and undergraduates, armed
with plastic buckets, took to the streets
yesterday and today hoping to raise
money for the Family Law Project.
The project, which gives free legal
services to "indigent and battered
women,"needs at least $2,000 to con-
tinue to operate, according to law
student and a project supervisor Dale
Campion.
"WE ARE having this fund raising
drive to defer our expenses. We don't
get paid," Campion said.
Although the organization has been
operating for several years, this is the
first time it has functioned as an in-
dependent operation. In past years, it
was associated with the Women's Law
Students Association.
The Law School Student Senate has
allocated $1,100 to FLP, but Campion
said this amount only begins to cover
the project's expenses. "We could
probably operate on $3,500," he said.
THE MONEY raised yesterday and
today will be used to cover the court and
administrative costs incurred 'in
representing battered women.
Response to the drive has been "pret-
ty good" so far, according to Adam
Gaslowitz, one volunteer.
Tom Gibney, a first year law student,
added, "They got a very good response
from law students so they are really
going to expand their sevices."
IN ADDITION to the project's 40
-members, the drive was aided by 16
pledges of the Gamma Phi Beta
sorority. "We had our choice of projects
-and I thought this was the most wor-
thy," said pledge Mary Bridget
Donahue.
"This organization is really impor-
tant. It provides battered women and
their children a haven," Campion said.
"Most are emergency cases."
Sixty percent of all couples in the
country engage in some form of spouse
abuse during their married lives. FLP
helps needy victims in filing restraining
orders, divorces, and obtaining
emergency legal assistance.
"USUALLY OUR clients are pretty
poor. There isn't much property bet-
ween them," Campion said. "They just
want custody of the children."
Women who receive help from the
project must live in Washtenaw County,
must have applied for some other type
of aid, and must have been referred b6y
either SAFE House or the Assault
Crisis Center.
Campion said FLP members expect
to handle about 150 cases this year.
They are currently representing 35
women in ongoing cases.

are both unfair and are causing greater
unemployment. In particular, Sallade
criticized the defense budget as the
most "overweighted and overspended"
area of government.
"It's time we in America forget about
guns and begin to think about butter,"
he said, calling for a 6 percent reduc-
tion in the Pentagon's funding. Sallade
went on to call for more government
help in reducing unemployment in the
form of guaranteeing loans to basic and
new industries.
PURSELL, ON the other hand, cited
continued confidence in the Reagan
economic plan and mentioned the
recent gains in the stock market as
proof that the economy is turning
around. He distanced himself from the
president on the issue of defense spen-
ding, and joined his opponent in calling
for a nuclear freeze.
Pursell focused most of his opening
remarks on the crisis in the middle
east, and agreed with Sallade that
strong support for Israel is imperative
to U.S. interests. The two traded barbs
over a question from the audience on
whether the United States should with-
draw aid from Israel if it continues to
build settlements on the West Bank.
When Sallade charged Pursell with
dodging the question, Pursell chastised
Sallade for not listening. "Most of your
answers aren't worth listening to,"
Sallade shot back.
While Pursell touted his three-term
experience in the House and said he
could work behind the scenes where the
"real work is," Sallade countered that
Pursell and his party followed a
philosophy "that looks backward, in-
stead of forward."
The debate was the first and only
scheduled face-to-face meeting bet-
ween the two candidates.

we do everything to make the experience of
getting contacts a pleasant one. It starts
with a thorough eye examination by a

lenses at NuVision. Ask about them. The
Doctor of Optometry will take the time to
explain the differences and recommend the
