enrollmnt drop
By GEORGEA KOVANIS
Presidents of the University's dormitory minority
councils have banded together to fight declining
minority enrollment by helping with recruitment and
retention programs and lobbying for increased finan-
cial aid.
According to Douglas Middlebrooks, chairman of
the newly-formed Minority President's Council, the
coalition was created earlier this week to improve
communication between minority groups on campus.
"WE WANT TO make a plan to increase the num-
ber of minorities and keep them here," said Mid-
dlebrooks, who is president of the Markley Minority
Council.
Middlebrooks said the coalition was formed par-
tially as a response to figures released recently which
show that black enrollment at the University is at 4.9
percent - a two percent drop since 1977.
He said the council, by staging its own programs to
encourage new minority students, can help relieve
some of the pressure forced on minority faculty
members.
"THE PROBLEM of minority recruitment and
retention seems to be left on minority faculty," he
said.
"We'll be working, hopefully, with some area of
admissions, and some area of housing," said Mosher-
Jordan Minority Council President Vickie Davis.She
said the coalition will publicize the resources
available to minority students.
Middlebrooks said part of the problem could be.
solved by increasing financial aid for minority :#
students to match the levels at other schools.
"Michigan can compete," he said. "We just have
to get off our duffs and do it."

McDonald
shelter
to open in
Ann Arbor
By REBECCA KNOX
Parents coming to Ann Arbor to be
with their seriously ill children while
they receive medical treatment will no
longer have to pay a fortune to stay
near the hospital.
A "Ronald McDonald House," one of
a national network of temporary
homes for families of hospitalized
children, is scheduled to open in Ann
Arbor in late summer of next year. The
shelter is the second such facility to be
located in Michigan.
ALTHOUGH BACKERS of the fund-
raising drive are currently negotiating
for several sites, no specific location
has been selected yet. The facility
which planners hope will include as
many as 20 bedrooms, will probably be
located near Mott's Children's
Hospital, they said.
Memebers of the Ann Arbor Junior
Service League are coordinating the
drive to raise $1.2 million to cover start-
up costs for the house. According to
League President Gretchen Wieting-
Sherwood, who will serve as president
of Arbor House, Inc., owners and
operators of McDonald's restaurants
throughout Michigan have already
pledged $350,000 to the project. The
McDonald's Corp. has donated $25,000.
Once the facility is established,
Wieting-Sherwood said area parents,
business and community leaders, and
hospital representatives will help main-
tain it.
ANN ARBOR was selected as a
Ronald McDonald House location
because of the quality of the medical
services available in the area.
"We had so much need up against
other areas," Wieting-Sherwood said.
She estimated that as many as 3,000
children are brought to the city each
year for treatment.
Mary Griffith, one of the members of
the board of directors, said she decided
to help create the Ann Arbor facility
because of her personal experiences
with caring for a sick child.
GRIFFITH's FAMILY stayed in a
Ronald McDonald House in
Philadelphia for four months while 13-
year-old Jennifer received treatment
for leukemia. The room cost the family
$5 a night, which allowed them to stay
in the city until the girl's treatment was
complete.
"You think that you're the only one it
(having a sick child) could happen to,"
Griffith said. "In a Ronald McDonald
House, the parents stick together and
help each other. It's not just lodging.
It's emotional support."
Griffith, who lives in Ohio, offered
her services to the Ann Arbor house
because of what she saw at Mott's while
Jennifer was receiving treatment
there.
"Parents were sleeping in the halls,
anywhere they could find to sleep," she
said. "Cheap lodging was something
they just didn't have."
Griffith is writing a book on her ex-
perience, which she plans to call Road
in the Dark. She says the house is
"something close to her heart."

GEO vote end; U'
finds new members
(Continued from Page 1)
student assistants membership status.
Union dues typically are paid through
deductions in payroll checks after' a
teaching or staff assistant returns a
card authorizing such payment.
Gamble said that most of the errors
occurred with new employees who tur-
ned in a deduction card for the first
time. Gamble also attributed the
problem to the uniqueness of the GEO
deduction system, which differs from
other union's systems. The system
"really hasn't had a lot of experience,"
Gamble said. But "we're going to take
steps to ensure that this doesn't happen
again," he said.
Gene Goldenfeld, GEO's elections
committee coordinator, charged that
the union lost more than 100 members
because of both the confusion over the
membership list and a confusing letter
the University sent to teaching and
staff assistants to explain the deduction
system.
BECAUSE GEO is an agency shop,
all teaching and staff assistants must
either join the Union of pay a represen-
tation service fee to GEO. Only mem-
bers are allowed to vote on the proposed
contract.
To ratify the agreement, 50 percent
plus one of the union's current mem-
bership must vote in favor of it. GEO's
membership, including the names just
cleared up, is now estimated at about
650, not 776, as stated in yesterday's
Daily. The union represents about 1,700
teaching and staff assistants at the
University.
GEO reached the tentative contract
agreement with the University in Sep-
tember. If it is approved, it will be the
first contract between the union and the
University since 1975.
