The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 19, 1987- Page 3 Enrollment for Blacks up .1% (Continued from Page 1) He said Asian Americans here "need to have ways to acknowledge that they are Asian American" and said currently there is nothing that does that except MSS. "I don't want to assume that just because they're increasing in number, we don't need to take care of them," he said. Vice Provost for Minority Affairs Charles Moody said in a press release, "Our gains are still very modest. We are not satisfied, but we are very gratified that Black enrollment particularly has shown a slight increase." Sociology graduate student Barbara Ransby said she was disappointed in the amount of the increase of Black students on campus. "To still be less than the University's stated goal is a sad state of affairs. I think it should convince people that we should still be vigilant in pressuring the administration to implement a serious anti-racist program," she said. Rosa Lopez, MSS Hispanic representative, said she was pleased with the increase of Hispanic students on campus. But even with an increase of students, Lopez said, that few Latino students are involved with campus Hispanic groups or take advantage of MSS. "I'm not pleased with student involvement... I would hope after this term they would take the time out to learn about how MSS and other offices can help them," Lopez said. Music school plays with computers By CARRIE LORANGER First robots moved into the University Hospital to transport meals and medicine across the hospital. Now computer tech- nology is filtering its way into the under- graduate program at the School of Music. Learning with Macintosh computers connected to sound sampling, keyboards, and percussion machines - which can duplicate the sound of any instrument, up to an entire orchestra - will make the music school a leader in its field. In addition to sound and video studios with electronic keyboards and percussion machines, software for visual displays will be used in theatrical design and choreography. Music theory Prof. Edward Chudacoff said computers are already being used for film and TV soundtracks. He said computers will give composers, for example, new options with which to work. Computers make it possible to hear music as it is being composed, but this system is not a substitute for real instruments, Chudacoff said. He added that there is a historical reportoire for live performance that could not be replaced by computerized music because it was composed for a live orchestra. One fear is that computers will take jobs away from performing artists. Prof. David Gregory, director of the School of Music's Center for the Performing Arts and Technology, said adding computerized music to the performing arts will not take jobs away from performing artists, but enable them to perform more. He said that new technology does not always replace old methods, "it makes the palette larger." As an example, he said when cable came to TV, the networks didn't die, instead the selection of channels was larger. Percussion Prof. Michael Udow said the American Federation of Musicians is studying the impact of synthesized music on the drop- off rate of hiring. He said the study shows less musicians are being hired since com- puterized music became-popular, particularly in the Los Angeles area, where much film and TV music is produced. "Playing a concerto used to depend on the availability of a live orchestra," he said "now a performer could travel with an orchestra consisting of a few samplers, which replicate instrument sound and a computer packed in a few cases," Gregory said. Speaking out Doily Photo by KAREN HANDELMAN City Councilmember Dave DeVarti (D-Fourth Ward) answers questions from members of the University's College Democrats last night at the Michigan League. DeVarti encouraged students to participate in city government and said, "If you're lucky, and you can last out your four years here, you're going to live here for four years or more. City policies will affect you for the rest of your life." 'r CORRECTION The University has hired legal counsel for two women named in a slander suit filed by a visiting professor accused of sexually assaulting one of the women, but is not a party in the case, as was.,incorrectly reported in yesterday's Daily. Julie Steiner, director of the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, said the job of counselor Katta Isari does not include involvement in any disciplinary process, as The Daily also reported. Also, Steiner said Isari may not discuss her clients with anyone without their written permission. For example, if a student has been sexually assaulted and is having problems in a class with attendance, homework, and exams Isari can call a professor or T.A. to ask for an extension or make-up exam. The counselor may not discuss anything further about the student than homework.

Forest, Ann Arbor 1700 Geddes, Ann Arbor 1215 Hill, Ann Arbor y (Continued from Page 1) Last year, the council released two preliminary drafts, including emer- gency guidelines addressing violent crimes and a statement on political dissent. No formal action was taken on the documents, and the final segment on guidelines for less vio- lent crimes was never completed. Both MSA and the Civil Liberties Board strongly opposed the pro- posals, saying they threatened free- dom of speech and due process. "(The proposals) didn't have built into them many of the safeguards of the current criminal and civil court system," said CLB chair Peter Railton. "I don't know if there is the possibility of drafting any sort of code that would meet reasonable regress for an emergency and not be a threat to civil liberties." The council went back to the drawing board, but administrators and regents grew impatient with the slow progress. On several occasions, Shapiro and members of the Univer- sity's Board of Regents threatened to impose a code or an interim code if the council did not act quickly. As early as November, 1985 law student and council co-chair Suzanne Cohen told The Daily, "We've kind of known our time was short from the beginning of the semester." The regents had just threatened to imple- ment a code by March. But reality proved to be different. The consensus, it seems, was to leave the responsibility to the Uni- versity Council. The council continued to meet weekly, discussing the possiblity of linking University sanctions to the civil and criminal court system, until last summer. A student statement that called the council a "facade of democracy" and reiterated student opposition to any form of academic sanctions, provoked Livermore, then a co-chair, to de- nounce the council and suggest they disband. "I don't see any chance of getting any set of rules of conduct in that setting." he said. LSA senior and council co-chair David Newblatt has attempted to reassemble the council this fall, but with limited success. Fewer than a quorum of members attended the first meeting, and Newblatt has been unable to solicit a commitment from other members. This lack of cooperation and the perception that student members are "stalling" the code in the council have led University officials to reconsider preparing an administrative code. "That is the question on the table right now," said Robin Jacoby, an aide to Shapiro. I JOSTENS GOLD RING SALE IS COMING!
