The Michigan Daily -Monday, January 16, 1989- Page3 California Assembly Speaker honors King s ideals during speech BY ROSE LIGHTBOURN Calling for equity for all people in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, The Honorable Willie Brown Jr. last night advised that social change must be an integrated effort, while criticizing President Reagan's policies toward the disadvantaged. Brown, presently the longest- serving speaker of the California State Assembly - and the first Black to serve in that position - addressed a crowd of over 300 stu- dents, faculty, and Ann Arbor resi- dents at Hill Auditorium. Brown also acted as national chair for Jesse Jack- son's 1988 presidential campaign. In his speech "Empowerment and Equity: A Challenge of the King Legacy," Brown referred to King as "an integrationist of the first order," but warned the audience not to let King's memory fade into a glam- ourous myth like Washington and Lincoln. "(We must beware) of the myth level. History romanticizes," he said. "We should evaluate how Martin lived and (how we can) replicate it." In his quick, eloquent oratory style, Brown emphasized that equity in society will come about only through a social change. "Changes will not come about just on the basis of race, because if tomorrow every vestige of racism was erased, cultural differences would still exist," Brown said. In a private interview later, Brown cited the recent Black Action Movement (BAM III) on campus as an example here and at other univer- sities of how students can work for change. Though Brown said the in- creased enrollment of minority stu- dents at the University is a good start, the numbers of minority stu- dents must continue to rise. Brown challenged the University not only to recruit more minority students, but to retain them once they enroll at the University. In his speech, Brown attributed Jesse Jackson's success to his ability of bringing together diverse groups of people with varying interests. Brown compared Jackson's political prowess of "marrying" people of dif- ferent causes to King's. "(Jackson) raised issues that af- fected people (not necessarily) based on race. The press could not believe there was a Black man carrying that kind of message," Brown continued. "(Even) presidential elections have facets of racism." Brown went on to comment about President Reagan's remarks on civil rights leaders in an interview last night on 60 Minutes. People are just now seeing "the true color of Ronald Reagan," he said.

Booklet makes 0, esac funds seeking easier BY NOELLE SHADWICK More minorities and women are seeking funding for research through the Division of Research Develop- ment and Administration, and a new 0 booklet may make their search easier, says DRDA Project Representative Bob Beattie. The booklet, released for the University's Diversity Day, details 70 programs that pay particular atten- tion to funding minority and women faculty or graduate student researchers through private and federal sources. ; By centralizing these programs in one booklet, DRDA officials hope to increase participation by groups often underrepresented in their pools of applicants. The number of minority resear- chers on campus has been small in pest years in part because there were fewer minority workers at the University than there are today, Beat- tie said. The booklet should make resour- ces easier to find for less-experienced fbculty and graduate students, he said. The competition by universities to recruit and maintain the best minority faculty/researchers has led to extra incentives and funds universities devote to minority and women researchers. In addition to the grants and programs described in the booklet, the University has several funds to attract and maintain researchers, including some programs specifically designed for minorities. One effort detailed in the 1987- 88 Affirmative Action Report de- scribes how the University must recruit and hire Ph.D. candidates, even before they receive their doctor- ates, in order to obtain the best minority faculty members. But minorities still make up a small percentage of the University research staff. According to the latest statistics calculated by Personnel Information Analyst Pat Mcintosh, 11.5 percent, or 40 out of 349 people, on the primary research staff - researchers not funded by the University - are minorities. Last year, the 1987-88 Affirmative Action Report reported that 41 out of 370, or 11.1 percent, of the primary re- search staff were minorities. Statistics for the total number of minority faculty members who do research were not available. The new booklet is available at the DRDA in the Institute for Social Research building.

ECT CUL A RI Closing Address Andrew Young, Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia S PECACUAR King remembered s zsspritua BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was remembered from the pulpit by f4llow clergymen Sunday as a man Whose "spiritual genius" and Chris- tin faith inspired a rebirth of free- dom. The official national holiday in his honor isn't until today, but King vwas hailed in sermons and speeches yesterday, the day the murdered civil rights leader would have turned 60. "It's not just a one-day remem- brance, but we need to remember every day what he stood for and what he died for," the Rev. Clay Evans, flho worked with King, told wor- shipers at Fellowship Baptist genius Church in Chicago. "I think we have to make it not just a dream, and not just make it a hollow day... but a holy day." Ceremonies planned Sunday in King's hometown of Atlanta in- cluded the annual "state of the dream" speech by King's widow, Coretta Scott King, at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King and his father were co-pastors. An enter- tainment tribute to King, featuring Stephanie Mills and Howard Hewett, was scheduled for the evening at the Atlanta Civic Center. King, born Jan. 15, 1929, was assassinated April 4,1968, at age 39. THE LIST What's happening in Ann Arbor today Speakers admission. .
