The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 2, 1987 - Page 3 I Architecture teach-in brings values to work State gives 'U' $9.9 million in By MICHAEL LUSTIG The College of Architecture and Urban Planning cancelled classes ydsterday so students and faculty members could take time to discuss values and how to apply them to pir fields. Dean Robert Beckley said the idea for a teach-in came from a meeting he had with a group of Black students and professors in the college. After some of the recent rtcist incidents on campus, they "decided it was necessary to tackle the problem in the college head on," Beckley explained. The teach-in's objectives, Beck - ley said, were to get students and faculty members to discuss issues together in an informal way, to set an agenda for the college and give it direction for the future, and to help individuals form their own agendas and. re-evaluate iheir own value systems. "The events of the past few Weeks remind us that it is easy to Ilose sight of purpose," Beckley said, addressing an overflow crowd in the architecture auditorium. "Having slid down the hill, now we axe going to begin to climb it again." Beckley challenged students and faculty to design an agenda focusing on the college and profession, and to "change this institution if it rneeds change. One of the pportunities we have today is to think big thoughts." Students and faculty members spent the morning in 10-member workshops discussing racism and lbo* that reflected on personal 4aiues. In afternoon sessions, pafticipants discussed conclusions reached in the morning in relation to he fields of architecture and ATMOSPHERE was relaxed throughout the serious topics of discussion. Pizzas were brought in for lunch, and fruit and coffee were provided for a mid-afternoon break. At the conclusion of the dis - cussions, participants were invited for hot dogs, chips, and beer. Yesterday's discussions were meant to be a part of a long-term solution to eliminate racism from the college. "Issues today will be part of the future of the architectural design curriculum," said Archtecture Prof. Soontorn Boonyatikarn. "We have accomplished quite a bit. The next thing'we have to do is implement it." That may take time to accomplish. According to statistics from the Office of Affirmative Action, only three of 175 under - graduates in the college are Black. There are also only three Black students in the graduate program. Some students believe racism is just part of the problem facing the college. Paul Somers, a junior, said that being on North Campus isolated the college from the rest of the University. "We miss diver - sity," he said. The isolation also impairs 'communication with the rest of the University, junior Kathleen Jordan said. "I didn't know what was going on until I went home to New York and saw it on the news." "The first step is to keep this going," Beckley said in his closing remarks. One long-term solution suggested yesterday was an all- college meeting at the beginning of the term. Beckley also appointed the 40 workshop leaders to an ad hoc committee that will make a report and recommendations based on the discussions. researci LANSING (AP) - Michigan's 15 public colleges and universities have been awarded more than $85 million to continue research projects and begin new ones, Gov. James Blanchard said yesterday. The awards come in the second year of Michigan's Research Excellence Fund; they support projects which contribute to the state's economic development efforts, Blanchard said. "Research and development of new products and technologies at our colleges and universities is key to Michigan's economic future and the creation of jobs," Blanchard said. A panel of state officials reviewed and approved thetproposals before the funds were released. The University received $9.9 million for 1986-87, said Alan Price, Interim Associate Vice president for Research. Price said $8.96 million was spent on a variety of engineering projects, with the rest going to a joint biotechnology project of LSA and the Medical School. "The hope is that the technology will benefit the state," said Price. "University scientists create new ideas ... and the technology they create can be used to create funds products." ACCORDING to Roberta Palmer, assistant to the Vice president for Government Relations, the state's four research institutions - the University, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, and Michigan Technological University - divided 90 percent of the $25 million among themselves, with the rest going to smaller schools. The University received the most money, Price said, because funding was based on the amount of research each institution already did. Here is how much the colleges received: Central Michigan University, $400,000; Eastern Michigan University, $400,000; Ferris State College, $150,000; Grand Valley State College, $225,000; Lake Superior State College, $102,175; Michigan Tech, $1.1 million; Michigan State, $6.6 million; Northern Michigan University, $225,000; Oakland University, $500,000; Saginaw Valley State College, $342,372; U-M Dearborn, $225,000; U-M Flint, $126,937; Wayne State, $4.4 million; Western Michigan University, $398,181.

Guerrillas infiltrated infantry SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Guerrillas enlisted in the army and infiltrated the El Paraiso infantry base before the big attack that killed 69 Salvadoran soldiers and a U.S. military adviser, the base commander said yesterday. The Green Beret U.S. army sergeant killed was the first American serviceman to die in battle in El Salvador's 7-year-old civil war. "There had to be someone who infiltrated," Col. Gilberto Rubio, commander of the base, told reporters. He said the army had concrete leads and was investigating the infiltration of the 4th Infantry Brigade garrison.

English Prof. John Knott will serve as the interim Director for the 1987-88 academic year while insti - tute officials search for a permanent director, which they hope will be appointed'by fall, 1988. Knott said he is not a candidate for the permanent director because he plans to go on sabbatical in 1988. The institute, established pri - marily through private endowments targeted at $5 million by the end of 1987, will occupy a wing in the Rackham graduate school building. It will house lectures, conferences and researchhon interdisciplinary topics in the humanities. Knott will help set up a six- member executive committee and work with them to until a per - manent director is appointed. Knott hopes to finish establishing the institute in Rack - ham as well as invite speakers and possibly some long term visitors to the institute. WITH THE executive committee, Knott will appoint one or two University faculty members to serve as Faculty Fellows. They will receive research funds by the administration for interdisciplinary humanities projects. The committee will also choose graduate students to serve as Student Fellows. The students will be relieved of their teaching commitments and will concentrate solely on research. They also will be given funds from the admini - stration to do their research. But the bulk of the activities at the institute will come from outside lecturers and guest researchers. Their stays at the institute will range from a week to conduct a series of lectures to an entire semester to conduct research projects. "I hope this institute has a wide impact upon the humanities. I hope to have a considerable number of faculty and graduate students involved in one way or another in it next year," said Knott.

"The TA's have a point. Most other schools provide full tuition and other benefits. They should be given what they deserve," said basher Louise Rosenfield. "We came out to see and support the TA's and, while we were here, smoke some," said RC freshman Kiersta Burke. TA protesters didn't worry that the bash would diminish the significance of their protest. Most felt the Hash-Bashers were "just having fun, and not making a lot of noise." "Besides," one TA added, "the more people out here, the more people see what's going on." Yesterday's pot-pourri ended without arrests. According to Captain Rady of the Ann Arbor police department, the police "don't recognize that there was a 'Hash Bash' taking place yesterday." 15th ANNUAL ANN ARBOR POW WOW A NATIVE AMERICAN CELEBRATION OF SONG AND DANCE 4 a) POW WOW The Native American Student Association and Minority Student Services are co-sponsoring the 15th Annual Ann Arbor POW WOW.
