blacks at South African universities.
Shapiro was unavailable for com-
ment.
None of the other American officials
attending the meeting committed
their schools or foundations to any
specific actions. But the gathering in-
dicated apparent growing support for
providing scholarship funds for South
African blacks.
The idea could provide an attractive
means for colleges that have resisted
selling their South African-related
stockholdings to nonetheless take a
strong stand against apartheid.
More than 60 schools have divested
themselves of some or all of such
holdings, but that is just a small frac-
tion of the more than 3,000 U.S.
colleges and universities.
THE UNIVERSITY last month
divested $4.5 million in stocks in com-
panies that do business in South
Africa, bringing its total divestment
to 99 percent of $50 million in invest-
ments it held in 1983.
Harvard University, which holds
the most South Africa-related invest-
ments among all U.S. universities,
announced in September that it is
format at a $1 million fund to
help send black South
Africans to the school. Harvard has
$400 million in South Africa-related
investments.
Jane Sherwin, Harvard's secretary
to the advisory committee on
shareholder responsibility, said the
school felt the fund is a more effective
way to help South African blacks than
divestment.
HARVARD President Derek Bok
was among those who attended the
meetings.
Another administrator at the con-
ference was Frank Rhodes, president
of Cornell University, which holds
$147 million in South Africa-related
investments. Fifty-four students were
arrested at Cornell earlier this month
in protests against the school's in-
vestments.
Rhodes was unavailable for com-
ment, but a spokesperson said his
university spends about $60,000 a year
to send five black South African
students through the school. She
denied the scholarships are a sub-
stitute for divestment, but said they
were a means to take a stand against
apartheid.

In response to increasing campus
concern about AIDS, University
Health Service this week published an
education pamphlet titled "What

disease.
The pamphlet can currently be

should be available in residence

vices, and the Office of Human
Sexuality sometime next week, said
Caesar Briefer, Health Service direc-
tor.

Steiner advocates 'Preferred Admissions'
(Continued from Page 1)
said. "It's a method of trying to en-
courage undergraduates to take a
broader curriculum."
Preferred Admissions is different
from programs such as Inteflex, a
joint venture between LSA and the
medical school, because the un-
dergraduate and graduate programs
would not be comined and students
would not graduate' in a shorter
amount of time.
Preferred Admissions still has to be
formally accepted by the graduate
schools before it is implemented, but
Steiner said he has received positive
feedback from several schools. "I've
gotten very enthusiastic reactions
from business, from engineering,
from pharmacy," he said.
JUDY GOODMAN, director of ad-
missions at the business school, said
that details still have to be worked
out, but added, "I don't think it will
have a negative impact on us. If
anything, it will be positive for us."
Terrance Sandalow, dean of the
Law School, said it's too early to judge
whether Preferred Admissions will be
accepted at the Law School. Steiner is
scheduled to make a pitch to the
school's faculty today. "The program
has not been adopted here. It's just
under consideration," Sandalow said.
"We would expect if we did it that it
would not involve a great impact on
the Law School at all," he added.
THE PROGRAM, which Steiner
said will eventually admit up to 150
students a year, is expected to make
the University more attractive to
potential applicants, especially those
who might otherwise go to schools
such as Harvard. "This is a very good
recruiting tool," Steiner said.
In addition, Steiner said, students
who are admitted to the program will
have the advantage of being able to
seek advice from counselors in the
professional schools they hope to at-
tend.
Steiner said many students believe
that graduate school admissions of-
ficers expect applicants to have taken
courses that directly relate to their.
field, but graduate school ad-
ministrators say, "We want more
broadly educated people."
"There is a great over-emphasis on
pre-professional programs by the
students that just isn't there on the
part of graduate schools," Steiner
said.

* Shultz expresses U.S. optimism for summit
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Secretary
of State George Shultz said yesterday
the United States is hoping for a whole
range of accords to come from the
Geneva summit, ranging from
greatly expanded cultural exchanges
to arms control agreements.
Shultz told a news conference that
intensive preparations have been un-
der way on these topics since he first
met Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard
Shevardnaze in Helsinki three months
ago.
Reiterating a principle American
topic for discussion at next month's
summit meeting of President Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev,
Shultz said, "We want countries to
stop expanding their influence by the
use of armed intervention and subver-
sion.
Shultz, who leaves Saturday for a
pre-summit meeting in4 Moscow with
Shevardnadze and Gorbachev, said
that in addition to discussing how to
stop regional conflicts, the United
States wants to have "a more con-
structive relationship" with the Soviet
Union.
The United States, he said, hopes
that the Reagan-Gorbachev meeting
Nov. 19-20 in Geneva, Switzerland,
will mark "a hopeful new phase" in
superpower relations.
