Two University officials have for-
med a faculty committee to evaluate
the efficiency of the graduate finan-
cial aid system and to suggest
possible improvements.
The Committee to Review
Graduate Financial Aid, which was
formed by Vice President for
Academic Affairs Billy Frye and
Rackham Graduate School Dean
John D'Arms, willstudy the distribution
of financial aid to graduate students. The
committee may also recommend
changes in the amount and allocation
of the aid.
D'ARMS SAID that the committee
will have an especially important role
in shaping the direction of graduate
aid because of the Gramm-Rudman
law.
"The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings act
will decrease still more the federal
government's role in providing aid to
all college students. There will be an
increasing burden on Universities
and individual students."
"The committee formed because
there are general concerns about
financing graduate students," said
economics Prof. John Cross, chair-
man of the committee.
"WE WANT to make sure that our
aid program is competitive with aid
programs from other schools," Cross
said.
Frye and D'Arms selected the nine
faculty members on the committee,
which includes professors from LSA,
the School of Music, the School of
Public Health, the Engineering
School, and the School of Business
Administration.
Robert Holbrook, associate vice-
president for academic affairs, said
that the committee would conduct a
general review of the financial aid
system for graduate students. The
committee will attempt to determine
how much aid is needed and which
departments need aid the most,
Holbrook added.
IN THE PAST, decisions about
graduate aid have been made on the
basis of individual department
requests. "This committee came
about because there is an awareness
that graduate aid has not been looked
at as a whole," Holbrook said.
Although the committee will at-
tempt to determine if more aid is
needed, it will not decide where the
aid should come from. "That decision
will have to be left to other decision-
making bodies, such as the University
itself," Holbrook said.
The graduate school provides'
graduate students a total of $6 million
in aid yearly, D'Arms said.
The figure includes general funds
from the University that are ad-
ministered by the graduate school.
"There is also graduate aid
available from the different colleges
within the University and there is
federal support," D'Arms said.
Ralph Williams, associate
professor of English language and
literature, and a member of the
committee, said the committee will
be accessible to members of the
University community. "We're inter
sted in receiving information from,,
students, administrators, and
faculty."
The committee will prepare a final
report which is to be submitted to
Frye's office by the end of this year.

Speech kicks
By SUZY ROSTLER
Speaking to an audience of mainly Mexican-
Americans, a University of Chicago professor
warned students that Chicano history may be lost
if someone does not research and record the
Mexican's assimilation into America.
"Records of Chicano history are few," said
Professor Louise Keer in a speech that kicked off
this week's events in honor of Chicano History
Week.
THE STATE declared this week Chicano
History Week to commemorate the signing of
the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2,
1848, that ended the Mexican-American War.
Although Mexican emigres keep their history
alive orally, little has actually been recorded
because many Mexicans were illiterate when they
emigrated to the United States, said Raul Villa, a
member of the Chicano Graduate Student
Association. "The history is there and is very im-
portant," he said.
Theresa Frausto, Chairwoman of the Socially
o Chicano
Active Latino Student Association (SALSA) said
many students, including Chicanos, are ignorant
of Mexican history.
THE PURPOSE of Chicano Week is to educate
both Chicanos and non-Chicanos by making them
aware of "the contributions that Mexican-
Americans have made to the state of Michigan -
economically, culturally, and socially - and to af-
firm the people's pride," said Ernesto Quesada, a
member of SALSA, the group sponsoring the
University events.
Quesada said he wants to make people aware of
Chicano history rather than tradition because, he
said, Mexican tradition conjures up a negative
stereotype.
Yale University Prof. Zaragosa Vargas, the
second speaker at the Monday night event, said
stereotypes of the Mexican-Americans as a "Half-
breed" has made Chicanos a scapegoat for the
History Week
country's economic troubles. "A pattern of anti-,
Mexican sentiment has accompanied every,
economic crisis the country has undergone, he,
said.
VARGAS SPOKE on the history of Chicanos
before the Great Depression and their con-'
tributions to the midwest. A great number of the
emigres helped lay the nation's railroad lines and
worked in the auto industry, he said.
Keer Stressed the importance of Chicanos
asking questions about their history as a people
and researching personal family history. In this
way, she said, oral history will not be lost and the
information will be available for those who want
to someday "bring history to life" by recording it.
"History is an egocentric, identity-searching
occupation," Keer said, and without it the history
may die.
