Niara Sudarkasa, the
University official in charge of
minority enrollment, will leave
her position Feb. 1 to become
president of Lincoln University
near Philadelphia.
Sudarkasa, associate vice
president for academic affairs
and an anthropology professor,
said she was "pleasantly
surprised" at being named
Lincoln's new president.
SUDARKASA has been in
charge of the University's effort to
increase minority enrollment
since1983. She has been working
on a three-part report on minority
enrollment and will present the
final phase of that study--on
retention of undergraduate
minority students-this fall. The
last part of the report was
originally scheduled for com-
pletion more than a year ago.
In March1985 Sudarkasa and
then-Vice President for Academic
Affairs Billy Frye vowed to

WASHINGTON (AP)-The
House, dealing President Reagan
a major foreign policy reversal,
r voted yesterday to override his
veto of punitive economic
sanctions against the white m.i-
nority government of South
Africa.
The 313-83 vote rejected, in
effect, Reagan's last-minute offer
to invoke new but, limited
sanctions by executive order
against the South African
government of P.W. Botha.
The Democratic-controlled
House originally approved the
sanctions legislation 308-77, and
it had seemed virtually im-
possible that the chamber would
reverse course and sustain Rea-
gan's veto of last week. It takes a
vote of two-thirds of the members
present to override a veto.
THE REAGAN defeat in the
House shifts the battle to the
Senate, where Majority Leader
Bob Dole (R-Kan.) has ac-
knowledged that finding enough
votes to sustain the president's
veto has proved "very difficult."
In the moments before the vote,
House members debated once
more the wisdom of attacking the
South African system of racial
apartheid with tough sanctions.
Rep. Dante Fascell (D-Fla.)
chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, told the House
it was imperative to override the
Reagan veto because, "We need to
express very clearly once again
our feeling as the institution
representing the American people
the feelings we have about the
institution of apartheid."

to five years. In the academic
year following that pledge, black
enrollment increased by only 0.1
percent, and Frye left last spring
to become the dean of gradua:e
studies at Emory University in
Atlanta.
"We have really tried to lay a
firm foundation for advancing
(minority) recruitment and
retention," Sudarkasa said. "I
expect that with vigorous leader-
ship committments and the same
hard work that has been evident
until now, it will continue to
rise"
SUDARKASA said the Uni-
versity's executive officers en-
dorsed the goal to double black
enrollment. Although she is leav-
ing her post, she said, "I'm sure
the University will move toward
it."
"I think Michigan has done
what only a few schools have been
able to do: to systematically build
a program to increase minority
enrollment and to pursue that
goal," she said.

"Alumni, faculty, staff, and

Sudarkasa said.
VICE PRESIDENT for
Academic Affairs James Duder-
stadt said a replacement for
Sudarkasa will be named by the
time Sudarkasa leaves. He said
he doesn't want to lose the
"momentum" Sudarkasa has
gained in minority enrollment,
and that the University will aim
for a "smooth transition."

FRANKFURT, We st
Germany (AP)-American
journalist Nicholas Daniloff flew
to the West and freedom
yesterday, released in a still-
secretive U.S.-Soviet agreement
that could help shake off a
deepening chill in superpower
relations.
In New York, a Soviet bloc
source at the United Nations said
Gennadiy Zakharov, charged
with being a Soviet spy, would be
exchanged for Daniloff. But there
was no immediate official
announcement on the outline of a
deal.
President Reagan, visiting
Kansas City, Mo., said, "We
didn't give in," and said details of
the arrangement would be
disclosed today.
Daniloff, U.S. News & World
Report correspondent in Moscow
for five years, told reporters after
landing in Frankfurt: "I'm
grateful to the president of the
United States. I'm free, I'm in the
West. I cannot tell you about any
other arrangements. ...All I
know is that I am free."
The 51-year-old journalist,
dressed in a cream-colored
parka, appeared to be in good
health but tired.
"It's obvious to everyone wha:
has happened," he said. "I was
arrested without an arrest
warrant. The case against me
was fabricated."
I U.S.
He said he was taken into
custody to give the Soviet Union
leverage in its efforts to obtain the
release of Zakharov, who was
arrested in New York a week
before Daniloff was picked up.
"The KGB did not punish me.
The KGB punished itself," he
added.

University political scientists said they were not surprised by
yesterday's release of American journalist Nicholas Daniloff, but
they were reluctant to speculate about its causes unti they learn of
the fate of Gennadiy Zakharov, the Soviet diplomat charged with
espionage.
Prof. William Zimmerman, a research scientist for the Center
for Russian and East European Studies, would only say that the
proposed Soviet-American summ:t was the key motivation behind

CLASSIFIED PROJECTS REVIEWED
Deans support research imit
By MARTIN FRANK
Three associate deans said yesterday that they
generally concur with a report that recommends
limiting classified research at the University.
Speaking at a meeting of the Research Policies
Committee, the deans expressed their satisfaction
with a document signed by nine of the12 members of
an ad hoc committee that reviewed the University's
current guidelines on classified research. The three
other committee members issued a minority report
which calls for the virtual elimination of
restrictions on secret research.
THE MAJORITY report endorses opening all
research contracts to public inspection and ensuring
that the results of most research projects be pulished
one year after funding has ended. At the same time,
however, the majority report eliminates the "end-
use" clause in the current guidelines that forbyids
research that could lead to the killing or maiming of
human beings.
Associate Engineering Dean Daniel Atkins said
he is satisfied with the majority report in part
because its restrictions will not radically alter
permissible research. "Most of what we are doing
can be accommodated by the (proposed) guidelines,"
he said.
Atkins emphasized that his views do not
necessarily represent the views of the engineering
college.
ATKINS said he supports classified research in
some situations, especially if professors come across
classified material inadvertently.
"Most faculty members do not set out to do
classified research, but sometimes they extend into
the boundaries of classified research," he said.
"There is little classified research going on in
engineering, and I don't sense any pressures to do
more, but should it happen, (faculty members) can
move to a place that can accommodate their desires,"
Atkins added.
But Atkins said he doubts that researchers would
leave the University to go where classified research
is more permissible because they would have to give
up their contact with top-notch graduate students and
colleagues.
ASSOCIATE Medical School Dean Irwin
Goldstein said he is pleased with the majority report,
but he opposed eliminating the end-use clause.
All three deans, however, said they are confident
that faculty members will not engage in research
that could destroy human life.

A University space scientist has said he would discourage
students from entering careers in the space science field if the
government decides to replace the space shuttle Challenger by
cutting funds from other space programs.
If the National Aeronautics and Space Administration builds a
new shuttle at the expense of other experimental space launches, it
could endanger the survival of space science, said atmospheric and
oceanic science Prof. Thomas Donahue.
"It doesn't make sense for students to go into the area," he said.
Donahue is the chairman of the space science board of the National
Academy of Sciences.
DONAHUE said he is "warning the nation, NASA, and Congress
to worry about building something else besides building the shuttle
