Black grads recall college days

By GEORGEA KOVANIS
When World War II veteran Dumas Cobb came to
the University on the GI Bill in the late 1940s, he said
there was a well-defined division between black and
white students on campus.
"In athletics we kind of found our place," he
remembered. "On a social level it was pretty much
divided."
COBB'S SENTIMENTS echoed those of other black
alumni who are in Ann Arbor this weekend for the
seventh annual reunion of black graduates. Although
most have fond memories of their days at the Univer-
sity, almost all agreed that being a minority on cam-
puse was at times a lonely and frustrating experien-
ce.
And many also said that the racial tensions which
existed on campus 40 years ago, linger on today
despite University efforts to boost black enrollment
and improve relations between white and minority
students.
"A lot of activities on campus were oriented toward
whites," said 1976 graduate Geraldine Whitler who is
now a social worker. "It was almost like two separate

worlds. A lot of white students were intimidated by
the presence of blacks."
Attending classes illustrated how few blacks there
were on campus, Whitler said. "You'd walk into a
class and you could count the black people in the lec-
ture hall," she said. "You'd walk into a class and be
the only black person there."
A clear separation between black and white studen-
ts extended to the dorms, Whitler said. Black studen-
ts usually sat and ate together at one table, she said.
As Cobb put it, "We tended to stick together and
form our own little social groups."
BUT 1948 GRADUATE Geraldine Ford, now a
judge in Detroit, said "the fact of race was not
strident."
As black enrollment continues to decline today.
many of the alumni said they would like to see the
University do more to boost minority enrollment.
"I just love the University of Michigan... but I'd
like to see a little bit more done to attract blacks,"
said Donald Godbold, who received a Ph.D from the
University in 1967.

OTHER ALUMNI SAID they felt it was partially
their responsibility to help the University attract
black students. "A lot of black alumni need to reach
back and talk to the students," said 1976 graduate
Linda Morague, one of the founders of South Quad's
minority group, Ambatana.
Added School of Education Prof. Percy Bates, who
received a graduate degree from the University in
1965, "Getting a student here is only half the bat-
tle. ..the other half is keeping them here."
The reunion was formed as a way to get black
alumni more involved in the University, according to
co-founder Reggie Armstrong.
ARMSTRONG, A 1971 University graduate, said he
thinks today's black students have changed from
those of the 1970s. "I think they've gotten off the
soapbox," said Armstrong, who participated in the
1970 Black Action Movement strike.
The black students of the 1970s were "students
believing so adamantly that they would give up their
lives or take overt action," he said.
While today's black students are still active, he
said they are less vocal and more concerned with
academics.

Fans claim policeman beat them
(Continued from Page 1)

ADAMS SAID he and Salah were
going onto the north end of the field
together when officer Percy Wright told
them to "get the fuck out of here." Af-
ter a brief exchange in which Salah
called Wright a "guy who always wan-
ted to be a cop but couldn't," Adams
said Wright chased Salah back toward
the bleachers.
Adams said that Salah fell as he tried
to jump back into the stands and that
Wright came up and started beating
Salah on his legs as he lay across the
first row of seats.
After Wright reportedly pulled Salah
back over the wall, Gordon said he put
his hand on the officer's arm and asked
him to stop and that Wright then hit
Gordon on the head with his nightstick.
Adams said he tried to grab Wright's
night stick and was struck on the back
of his neck. Wright then informed Gor-
don and Adams they were under arrest
for assaulting an officer.
ANN ARBOR Police Lt. Duane
Weber said he could not yet comment
on the incident, but said the department

after game
would investigate any complaint about
the officer's conduct.
Adams said last night he had not filed
a complaint yet about Wright's
behavior, but planned to discuss it with
his lawyer. Although he said Wright
was in a difficult situation, he thought
Wright had brought it on himself by
chasing Salah. Adams said his sym-
pathy for Wright's plight diminished af
ter the arrest becasue of the officer's
abusive language and conduct.
As Adams and Gordon were led from
the field, Adams said Wright poked his
nightstick into Adams' arm. When he
protested about the pain, Adams said
Wright responded by tightening the
handcuffs.
Gordon, who complained to Ann Ar-
bor detectives about Wright's conduct
received treatment at the Stadium's
first aid station. After he was released
by the police he went to University
hospital where he received 11 stitches
Adams and Gordon were told to check
with police on Tuesday to find out if
charges would be pressed against
them.

At left, Ann Arbor Police Officer Percy Wright raises his nightstick as Chris
Gordon (right) protests the treatment of Greg Salah. In the second picture
another officer then leads Gordon from the field after his arrest. He is
bleeding from a wound witnesses said was caused by Wright's nightstick. The
pictures were taken by LSA junior Eric Johnson.

Legal budgets triple as more people sue 'U'

(Continued from Page 1)
to "spew their hatred," Davis said, the
University must litigate to uphold the
school's high standards.
"Defending itself is worth (the costs)
because it is good public relations for
the University," said Davis. The
University "can't have a reputation for
giving in on cases - it has to preserve
its reputation."
The University rarely takes other
people to court. Currently the Univer-
sity is involved in only one suit
protesting the state's requiement that
the school divest its holdings in com-
panies operating in South Africa.
THE BIGGEST potential loss for the
University is in malpractice suits
against University Hospital, said Ed
Goldman the hospital's top attorney.
Since 1975, when the hospital
established its own legal office, the

legal budget for salaries alone has
doubled to $91,000. A second attorney
was hired just two months ago to handle
the increased caseload, Goldman said.
The hospital has 75 malpractice
claims pending against it, a 50 percent
increase from five years ago. Goldman
said the hospital settles about 25 per-
cent of its cases out of court, paying an
average of about $16,000 in each case.
The remaining cases are those the
hospital feels it can win, and Goldman
said the hospital has never lost a major
settlement.
Being selective about which suits to
litigate and which ones to settle saves
the University a lot of money, Goldman
said. Those savings are far greater
than the rising legal costs or the expen-
se of hiring outside counsel, he said.
THE PATENT law office operates on

a similar philosophy. The attorneys say
their office saves the University a
significant amount of money by preven-
ting potential legal battles and is worth
the increasing costs.
In addition, they boast that the
royalties earned on faculty research or
inventions channels money back into
non-profit-making areas of the Univer-
sity.
The complex contracts with large
corporations to market professors'
work reached through lengthy
negotiations are so tough that not many
people would want to "mess with us,"
because they know they'd lose, said Jim
Dautremont, the University's patent at-
torney.
BUT DAUTREMONT and his
assistant Bob Gavin don't actually
write the patents themselves. About
$5,000 a year is spent on outside legal

counsel to write the complicated con-
tracts.
According to Gavin their office
fosters high technology growth for the
University similar to that in Califor-
nia's Silicon Valley.
High technology has snowballed on
campus in the past five years, which
will eventually aid the state's ailing
economy and attract better faculty to
the University, Gavin said.
The growth of the University's legal
staff isn't out of line with those of many
other universities: across the country,
although some have managed to keep
costs down. The University of Illinois
has eight attorneys and the University
of Wisconsin has five.
But Michigan State University,
with only two attorneys, has a legal
budget of only $246,000, according to of-
ficials there.

Judge stops CBS airing

r

of DeLorean
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A federal
judge yesterday prohibited CBS and its
Los Angeles affiliate, KNXT-TV, from
airing tapes purportedly showing
automaker John De Lorean's arrest
during an alleged cocaine deal.
U.S. District Judge Robert Takasugi
issued a temporary restraining order
against the network and KNXT and
scheduled a hearing at 3:30 p.m.
tomorrow on a permanent injunction
against use of the videotapes, said
Donald Re, one of the lawyers for De
Lorean.
"We've had some communications
with CBS indicating they were in
possession of the tapes and discovered.
this morning they intended to air them

arrest tapes
sometime before the weekend was
over, possibly this Saturday evening,"
Re said.
"We thought it was necessary to
prevent that to protect our client's trial
rights," Re said of requesting the
unusual Saturday hearing.
The defense wants to keep the tapes
under wraps "at least until a jury is
selected" in De Lorean's cocaine traf-
ficking trial, Re said. The trial is
scheduled to begin Nov. 1.
Re said the copies were of tapes the
FBI made during De Lorean's Oct. 19,
1982, arrest at a hotel near Los Angeles
International Airport, plus "a series
made in various hotels" during the
"sting" operation that preceded it.
