.The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 30, 1986 - Page 3 Johnson to open ABENG's ioiy festival tonight TheBy REBECCA BLUMENSTEIN Teevents of the twelfth annual Minority and Cultural Festival, designed "to bring strength in unity" to all minorities and non-minorities *on campus, will begin tonight at East Quad. Henry Johnson, the University's vice president for student services will kick-off the festivities at 7 p.m. He will be followed by a jazz concert, and events will continue through Saturday. *"THROUGH THIS festival of minority art and culture we hope to combine and show all the talents of minorities on campus," said Tracy Weary, a Residential College freshman and member of ABENG, the group sponsoring the event. Named for the Jamaican word for a horn used to call people together, ABENG is East Quad's minority council. The festival highlights also include a gospel concert featuring five groups, a local ethnic art exhibit, a poetry reading, a political workshop about apartheid, and other displays. .The events will culminate in a Fashion and Performing Arts show on Saturday, according to Weary. . ABENG received funds for this weekend's events from the East Quad Representative Assembly. "They weren't initially very responsive to our needs, though," We&ary said. BECAUSE OF rising costs of producing the festival, ABENG asked for $4,000 of the $6,000 annual budget of the representative assembly, said Amelia Bischoff, a hall representative. "There was a struggle getting past the assem- bly because most of the representatives are -freshmen and- had no idea where the money was going," she added. Bischoff, who wrote a letter of apology to ABENG after the organization finally received approval, said, that the emotions got so high that people accused others of not being worth their money. Carlton Jackson, president of ABENG, said the event was too quickly sensationalized as racist. "We asked for a lot, and it was just a rnratter of showing them that it was going to be a worthwhile cause," he added. Deba Pawlick, the building director of East Quad, agreed. "There was some misunder- standing because ABENG didn't adequately publicize their needs, but the struggle between the assembly and ABENG has been blown out fproportion," he said. Jackson said an effort is being made to in- clude as many minorities as possible. ..............................................~........................................... ....................................................................................:.:.~.;.:.:.:.:.::*;~::~~:::.:.;4: .......................................................:.:.:.:.;.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:;*2~2::~:::........ .....................................~............................,..... "U' study finds less prejudice ANN ARBOR (AP) - Racial prejudice in the United States has dropped considerably over the past four decades, although whites remain less enthusiastic about the equality than blacks, according to a University of Michigan study. The amount of support for integration yaries according to what is being integrate.d, said the study by three researchers who used data IT FOUND a substantial increase in the number of whites who endorse federally enforced desegregation 'of hotels and restaurants but a decrease in recent years in a'pproval of steps to integrate schools. On other issues, such as economic assistance to blacks, there was little attitude change. . "A reason for the high support for the desegregation of hotels and commodations represent a transient and relatively impersonal shpere of life," the researchers said in a statement released Tuesday. But Howard Schuman, professor of sociology and director of the Univer- sity's Survey Research Center, said the gap between support for prin- ciples and implementation should not automatically be interpreted as a symptom of racist hypocrisy. ply reflect a public dislike of gover- nment coercion in general. By 1972, the study noted, "virtually the entire white population felt that blacks and whites should be judged equally in terms of employment.". But a quarter of tfie whites surveyed made one exception - the job of president of the United States.
