Astrofest 145 - Jim Loudon, "Space Sounds II and Best Voyager/Jupiter Tiim . .An s-m n T2 EXPOSURE TO asbestos can cause "asbestosis," a scarring of the lung tissue that cuts down on breathing capacity in a similar fashion to em- physema or lung cancer. "The problem is that (asbestos) doesn't show up on X-rays for up to 30 years," Monroe said. Even though universities are not required by the Environmental Protec- tion Agency to continually check cam- pus buildings for asbestos, Monroe said "we as a university want to protect our employees and have taken it upon our- selves to do it." The official university policy on asbestos states that firms doing any type of renovation on campus buildings must protect the University com- munity, the environment, and the workers making inspections from ex- posure to asbestos. Report calls for more aid to minorities (Continued from Page 1) reach that goal. Black enrollment peaked at 7.2 percent in 1976. In fall 1984, 5.1 percent of the students on campus were black. Increasing the number of minority students applying to the University is Sudarkasa's first suggestion. Brochures that address the "specific needs and concerns of minority studen- ts must be developed and continually reviewed," the report says. SUDARKASA'S report also em- phasizes increased communication with potential students about financial aid for minority students. Improved com- munication will improve the effect of other recommendations and will not be a major expense, the report says. According to David Robinson, an assistant director of admissions and minority recruiter, current minority recruitment programs already keep his department busy. "I don't see how we can (expand). We're pretty well loaded," he said, ad- ding that an increase in staff would be necessary for such expansion. PERSONALIZED recruiting in large minority communities by alumni, ad- missions officers, faculty, and students is Sudarkasa's second recommended method of increasing the minority ap- plication pool. Faculty involvement, however, will require support services, financial rewards, and total faculty commitment in order to succeed, said Bunyan Bryant, the only black professor in the School of Natural Resources and a minority recruiter for the last eight years. Increases in financial aid is the report's major recruitment plan. Sudarkasa calls for aid to "all qualified minority residents." She recommends that the awards should be equal to those of the Opportunity Program award of $5,500. Sudarkasa also recommends that merit aid for minorities be increased. The Michigan Achievement Award, given to outstanding minority students, would be increased from $750 to $1,000 and become a renewable grant. Out-of-state minority merit awards should be continued and "two or three tuition-linked merit grants for outstan- ding underrepresented minority students'', should be created. Sudarkasa proposes that the ad- missions practices for minorities be m 14 A i re numher of minority I you're Th en you gtting a degree Any area and will have at least 4 courses in biology ...
