Minority council to appoint students By REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN In an effort to increase student in- put on campus, minority leaders hope to appoint students to a University minority concerns council. As a liaison to the affirmative action office, the Council for Minority Concerns, composed of faculty and staff representatives from throughout the University, is designed to "make an extra effort to reach out to the community," said Carlos Acevedo, financial aid officer and chairman of the council's steering committee. THE COUNCIL wants to make its policies more "proactive rather than reactive," he said yesterday at the council's meeting. Since its establishment in 1977 the council has aided in the creation of Niara Sudarkasa's position as assist- ant vice president, submitted recom- mendations for recruitment and retention, and explored ways to enhance the environment for minority students on campus. According to Acevedo, the short term goals of the council are to in- crease participation in Sudarkasa's role, aid in recruitment and retention efforts, and reduce racism on campus. Although there is presently no mechanism for official student par- ticipation, a move to create at least four student positions representing each underrepresented minority group was supported by everyone at the meeting. Whether to get nominations for this committee from the Michigan Student Assembly, through individual ethnic groups themselves, or through student elections is an issue that the council has yet to resolve. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Hurricane Kate batters Cuba KEY WEST, Fla. - Hurricane Kate pounded Cuba with 115 mph winds yesterday forcing the evacuation of 300,000 people, while squalls toppled power lines in this island city were residents huddled in shuttered homes and busy bars. The late-season storm hit Havana about 1:30 p.m. EST, two hours earlier than expected, and knocked out telephones, electricity, TV tran- smissions and gas, according to Prensa Latina, the official news agency. Kate also whipped Key West with 105-mph winds and later moved into the Gulf of Mexico where it aimed at the U.S. Gulf Coast and was expec- ted to strengthen over the open water. "Kate could still be with us several days." said National Hurricane Center forecaster Mark Zimmer. "It's important for people on the Gulf Coast not to let their guard down," he said. "People are thinking about things like Thanksgiving and it's hard to make them think about a hurricane. But this can still be a danger." In the Keys, the storm caused sporadic outages of electricity as it knocked down dozens of power lines, snapped tree limbs and palm fronds and submerged roadways. No injuries were reported. Economy grows 4.3 percent WASHINGTON - u.s. economic growth spurte upward at a sur- prisingly rapid 4.3 percent annual rate from July through September, the fastest pace in more than a year, the government reported yesterday. While the Reagan administration hailed the increase as a significant acceleration" in economic activity, private economists were not as im- pressed, contending that the added growth during the summer may well subtract from activity in coming months. The Commerce Department said the gross national product - the total output of goods and services - grew at the fastest rate since a 7.1 percent increase in the second quarter of $984. This new estimate was a full percentage point above a 3.3 percent government projection made last month. While the gain was far above what most analysts had expected, they stressed use of caution in inter- preting the figure. "no one should be fooled," said Allen Sinai, chief economist for Shear- son Lehman Brothers. "There is little meaningful growth going on the the economy at the present time and little room for optimism that we have a lasting rebound under way." Panel back apartheid reforms JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - An economic government commit- tee that advises President Pieter Botha yesterday recommended the abolition of racial segregation laws that are considered pillars of the apartheid system. The economic committee of the President's Council - established in 1980 to advise the president'on political and economic policy - recom- mended the abolition of racial segregation laws that discriminate against non-whites. Other committees of the President's Council also have urged the repeal of race laws that help make the government's policy of racial segregation, known as apartheid. The government is not obliged to ac- cept the advice. In Durban, seven blacks were killed in tribal warfare between the Zulus and Pondos, authorities said. And Police said they arrested 29 blacks for racial violence Tuesday night and yesterday in scattered incidents across South Africa. Rescuers continue quake relief BOGOTA, Colombia - Rescuers still searched the remains of Armero yesterday' but burial squads moved in, gouging long trenches in the volcanic mud with back hoes and dumping truckloads of bodies into them. Soldiers acting on orders from health officials slogged through the muck with small cans of gasoline, dousing decaying bodies and setting them afire, shooting animals that had been feeding off the corpses. The men wore masks agaisnt the stench. Residents who had fled began returning to Marquita, nine miles to the north, and other towns that escaped major damage from the mud avalan- che that flowed into the Andes valley Nov. 13 after the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano. A 15-foot-deep lake of mud buried Armero and parts of other towns below the volcano. At least 25,000 people were killed. The mayor's office in Mariquita, where the small hospital became an emergency clinic, said about 15,000 people had returned. Scientists monitoring the volcano cautioned against complacency. More Americans opt for cities WASHINGTON - The nation's urban areas are growing faster than the countryside in this decade, reversing the "rural renaissance" trend of population growth in the 1970s, the Census Bureau reported yesterday. The metropolitan population grew by 4.5 percent to 180 million people between 1980 and 1984, while the number of non-metropolitan residents increased by 3.4 percent to 56.4 million, an agency study found. While metropolitan areas continued to grow at the 1 percent annual rate that prevailed in the 1970s, the non-metropolitan growth rate fell from 1.3 percent annually in the last decade to about 0.8 percent a year since 1980. "This apparently restores a pattern of predominantly metropolitan population growth which had extended for more than a century until the dramatic turnaround of the 1970s," said the new report, "Patterns of Met - ropolitan Area and County Population Growth." That 1970s pattern has been widely discussed as a rural renaissance, with Americans moving to the countryside in search of a new lifestyle. "What this (new report) suggests is not a total halt, but it has definitely slowed down," said Donald Starsinic, a Census Bureau statistician.
