MSA OKs hiring of black issues researcher The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, October 20, 1982-Page 3 Family Law Project stages bucket drive By ROB FRANK 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. Moore ... vote shows issue's importance Purse ii, Sallade square of in race for Congress (Vnt nd fr Page 1) By HALLE CZECHOWSKI 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.

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. YT SPORTS WATCH! SEE ROBERT ALTMAN's NEWEST MOVIE In a Special Benefit Sneak Preview!
