None of the schools has over 1,000 students en- rolled. All figures were provided by the office of the University's Vice Presi- dent for Academic Affairs. One recommendation, now put into practice, was for schools to work together in a concerted recruit- ment effort. To attract more minority students to graduate education in the health sciences, the schools mailed about 3,000 invitations to minority students living in residence halls to attend "dorm nights," said Donald Strachen, assistant dean for admis- sions in the Dental School and a task force member. About 30-40 people attended a dorm night in Mary Markley residence hall last week, he said. Four dorm nights were held last semester, and another is planned for this semester. They are seen as a way to "build some linkages early in un- dergraduate careers" between minority students and faculty members, said Dr. Margaret Woodbury, assistant dean for student and minority affairs in the Medical School and a task force member. Woodbury was one of several people to accompany Charles Moody, vice provost for minority affairs, to Chicago last fall for a "University of Michigan Day." Rep- resentatives of the University held an open house and invited a select group of Chicago-area minority students. Woodbury said this was another opportunity for prospective students to meet faculty members. Other "U of M Days" in cities with large mi- nority populations will be planned in the future, she said. "There's always a concern... that [a report; can become a shelf job," said Margaret Warrick, director of student services in the School of Public Health and a member of the task force. To prevent the recommendations from being ne- glected, a group of original commit- tee members and specially appointed individuals will meet regularly to ensure that the recommendations of the report get implemented. Tomorrow: A look at what pro- grams the individual health science schools have implemented. BY NICOLE SHAW Women who have influenced the civil rights movement were honored Friday as the University's Com- memoration of a Dream Committee continued its celebration of MLK/Diversity Day. Gloria House, former member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Alabama, led about 50 students and faculty mem- bers in a discussion about women civil rights leaders, including Rosa Parks and Ella Baker. House dispelled the long-held no- tion that women played a minimal part in the Civil Rights Movement. Men and women were equals in the movement, she said, because "they were willing to risk their lives for the cause, and so were we. We claimed our equality and worked out of our equality." House then discussed the role SNCC played in the Alabama Civil Rights Movement. That group, she said, eventually affected the entire nation because "SNCC inspired you to go out and be active because you knew you were right." House said people should "understand the atmosphere Blacks had to work under to make change." She described the violence, terrorism, and economic threats Blacks endured to survive and make change. At one point, local whites who objected to the civil rights movement would fire guns at SNCC members' homes nightly, she said. In the early '60s, Alabama was about 85 percent Black, yet the state had no Black elected representatives, House said. But to offset the white supremacist-led Democratic party, House said SNCC organized its own section of the Democratic party and by 1966 the first Black was elected to office. In 1968, a Black sheriff was elected. "A good deal of national sentiment was driven on by what happened in Alabama in the 1960s," House said. Before House's discussion, a film on Ella Baker was shown outlining more than 20 years of service she gave to the civil rights movement. Baker fought to gain freedom and equality for Blacks by traveling through the southern states, making speeches and rallying people to ac- tion.
