"THE University is accepting a
very high 'death rate' for minority
students," he said. For example, only
55 percent of all black students who
enter the University graduate in six
years, compared with a rate of 72 per-
cent for white students.
"There are many possible reasons,
but it is important to note that
academic reasons are usually not a
significant factor," Goto said, adding
that "no one knows exactly why"
minority retention rates are low.
Members of the panel said the Un-
iversity neglects racism on campus.
'They pointed to delays in the release
of a retention report by Sudarkasa as
an illustration of such neglect.
Although that report was scheduled to
be released months ago, Linzie, who
sits on the committee that is working

on the report, doesn't think it will be
released until later this spring.
"WE HAVE to remember, though,
that we all gain collectively whenever
we gain in individual ways, no matter
how prolonged they may be," Linzie
said.
Although skeptical of the ad-
ministration's actions against racism,,
panel members said they are in-
terested to see what results the newly-
appointed presidential task force on
racism will produce.
In the meantime, UCARe plans to
launch a campaign against racism by
beginning to remove racist grafitti
from the Graduate Library.
"It's very dangerous to think that
recent incidents of racism are
isolated. They are very integrally
connected," Jacobson said.

Four local political figures were
among 30 people who last night signed
facsimiles of pass books which blacks
in South Africa are required to carry.
The signing ceremony was sponsored
by Amnesty International as a part of
its protest of racist policies in South
Africa.
The participants put their names,
address, race and citizenship, and
their photographs on the mock passes.
Each participant will send his "pass"
to the South African Embassy in
Washington, D.C., with a letter
adressed to the president of So4h
Africa, P. W. Botha.
THE PASS-signing ceremony was
the kick-off for the local Amnesty
chapter's letter-writing campaign to
South African officials to protest the
pass laws, which are used to control
the movement of blacks within South
Africa.
The pass laws require all non-
whites in South Africa over the age of
16 to carry passes. Blacks are not

allowed in urban areas except under
special circumstances.
Mayor Ed Pierce and members of
Amnesty International chapter No. 61
expressed doubt that the pass laws
will be reformed soon.
"WE DON'T have a world gover-
nment that is capable of imposing the
world (view) on the country of South
Africa," Pierce said.
He added: I'm personally very
pessimistic, but I'm pleased to be
here to take this very small action.
Others among the thirty who filled
out pass books were State Represen-
tative Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor),
and City Council members Kathy
Edgren (D-Fifth Ward) and Jeff Ep-
ton (D-Third Ward).
Alice Roelofs, Regional Member-
ship Coordinator for Amnesty Inter-
national in Michigan, said other Am-
nesty chapters have conducted
similar protests to the pass laws, in
which Chicago Mayor Harold
Washington and Michigan Sen. Carl
Levin signed similar replicas of the
passes.

"I anticipate that the needs of the

faculty representative from another
school or college that has instruc-
tional or research ties with the
College of Engineering.
H e said that Shapiro could appoint
and charge the committee by the

middle of this month.
Duderstadt commented on the
engineering college's growing
momentum, and said he sensed a
growing excitement and intensity
within the college.

"I am going to miss what will
probably be the most exhilarating
time in the College of Engineering"
Duderstadt said. "It's in the 'go to it"
attitude," he said. "It can take the
college almost anywhere."

has been to build up "spires of ex-
cellence" within the college in order
to attract revenue and well-qualified
faculty. Over one-third of the entire
engineering staff have been hired
during his administration.
During the meeting yesterday,
Duderstadt said that the current
momentum within the college and its
ability to capitalize on its resources
should serve as a model for the whole

University.
HE OUTLINED a three-point
strategy for his upcoming term as
vice president. Duderstadt's
nomination is expected to be ap-
proved by the Board of Regents later
this month.
First, the University must pick up
its pace while sustaining its commit-
ment to quality, Duderstadt said.
Second, it must focus its resources
to get the job done, and get away from

the idea of "doing everything." He
commended Shapiro's current
philosophy of "smaller but better."
Third, and most important, Duder-
stadt stressed the need to build up the
University's intellectual disciplines.
"They drive the institution," he said.
He cited the declining reputation of
the sciences during the 1950s and 60c
as a tragic example of the erosion a
the University's intellectual core.

TUITION AND ATAN.

With Kelly Services you can make the most of summer. And still make
money for school.
You'll earn tuition while you choose your own assignments: office clerical,
marketing or light industrial work. You can take as many assignments as
you like, or hold them to a minimum. So you can still spend entire days
basking in the sun.
Work is almost always available, too. So Kelly is not only ideal for
vacations, it's a smart way to spend breaks year round.
