Magazine returns after year's hiatus The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 12, 1987 - Page 5 Ex-student pleads guilty (Continued from Page 1) Perry, then only a first-year student, contacted about 50 students who expressed interest in the magazine. But when she held an organizational meeting early this year, only a handful showed up. Still, there were enough students to put out the first issue in Oetober, although Perry admits that it was not perfect, containing some typographical errors. "You don't want to see that issue," she joked. For the January/February issue of Black Perspectives - the third and latest issue - Perry contacted a local graphic designer and Uiniversity alumnus, Bev Hunter, to help design and layout the paper. The result was the sharpest and sleekest issue yet. PERRY AND the rest of the staff hope to continue improving Black Perspectives. Plans include increasing the number of pages, isues produced, issues printed, and in the future perhaps making it a niagazine for all minority students. "We do have future plans, but we have to go slow, we're not all that set financially now," Perry said. She said they will hold fund- raisers and may begin selling adver- tising space. The staff is still relatively small and has no formal office yet. The seven-to-eight member staff meets in East Quad's Abeng lounge. I Consequently, staffers have had to assume different roles: writing, editing, taking photographs, doing lay-outs, printing, and even distributing the magazine. "Since we have a limited staff number, we all have to share these responsibilities until we can expand," said Rob Silver, a photo- grapher and writer. Silver and other staffers praise Perry for the work she has done. "She's done a real good job," said Silver. "And with all her responsiblities, she handles the rapport between the staff well and knows how to deal with the problems that come up." And although their operation is not large in scale or number yet, Black Perspective staffers feel that By STEVE BLONDER Under the terms of an arranged plea bargain, former University student Jae Kim pleaded guilty to one count of assault and battery, one count of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, and improper use of a license plate yesterday before Fifteenth District Judge Pieter Thomassen. Kim withdrew from the Uni- versity last week. In exchange for the guilty plea, the prosecution agreed to drop the remaining criminal sexual conduct charge and a larceny charge facing Kim. The prosecution also agreed not to charge Kim for any of the other reported incidents for which he had not been charged. Sentencing was set for March 3. Kim was arrested last week after two female students living in Mary POLICE NOTES Markley residence hall identified him as their assailiant. He later recieved the larceny. charge after camera equipment reported missing from 420 Maynard St. was found in Kim's car. The license plates on Kim's car were also found to be stolen.

Students combine to combat recent racist incidents By PAUL HENRY CHO A group of about 100 students, angry about continuing racist incidents at the University, have formed an ad hoc committee to combat racism. An incident at Couzens Hall, in which a racist flier was anonymously placed under the door to a room where black women were meeting, was "the last straw" in a series of racist attacks, according to David Shannon, one of the organizers of the anti-racism rally that occurred last Friday. As a result, ten students formed the committee to address the problem of racism at the University. The ad hoc committee met Tuesday to discuss goals and demands, and the method in which change and public attention to the issue was to occur. Several students shared their experiences with racism and attacks they encountered at the University. The committee made several demands of the University administration, including a formal public condemnation of the Couzens incident by interim University President James Duderstadt, a University investigation of the incident, and an apology from and reprimand of resident advisors for insensitivity in handling the issue: "Basically, we are all just getting sick and tired of the racist incidents, and now we're going to do something about it." said Michael-Jay Walker, another of the rally's organizers. "We're going to have to bring to the attention of all students what is going on, expose racism and ignorance, and confront it." The committee also hopes to institute an anti- racism program at freshman orientation, which would inform incoming students that racism will not be tolerated on campus. The students hope to expose racism by publicizing racist incidents that continually occur at the Uni- versity, in addition to supporting ongoing minority goals such as increased financial aid and attaining 10 percent black enrollment. According to Barbara Ransby, one of the leaders at the meeting, the new committee is not the result of efforts of the Black Student Union or the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee. Rather, she said, it is simply a group of concerned students who feel that racism is something that cannot be tolerated at the University. "People need to realize that we're serious and that this is not going to blow over," Shannon said.

LSA picks new associate deans (Continued from Page 1) Budget, Carolyn Copeland, holds a permanent position. Steiner said that there are about 70 faculty positions to fill, with a 30-40 faculty turnover rate each year. "What the University looks like in 2010 depends on who we hire over the next five years," Steiner said. Cross said he will phase out his responsibilities with MHRI over the next three years in order to con- centrate attention on his new job as well as teaching economics. "Three appointments are more than anyone can handle," Cross said. Neither Cross nor Ford, who is currently on sabbatical, has learned the details of their jobs yet, but both are experienced members of the University's faculty. Cross, who has been with the University since 1965, co-authored a book called Social Traps in 1980 with Melvin Guyer, an associate professor of psychology. The book deals with counter-productive hu- man behavior such as drug abuse, air pollution, and cigarette smok- ing. Ford has served at the University since 1971. During that time, he was the Director of the Museum of Anthropology. Ford is also an archaeologist and botany professor. 16 The Michigan Daily 1 1 1 i = CLASSIFIED MAIL -INV FORM 1 1.
