PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (AP)
- More than 150,000 demonstrators
chanting "They must go!" rejected
the new Communist-dominated gov-
ernment yesterday and demanded free
elections in a roaring show of sup-
port for the opposition.
Also yesterday, thousands of
tourists from Czechoslovakia freely
visited the West for the first time in
decades after the government lifted
most travel restrictions.
Demonstrators massed in central
Wenceslas Square for the first time
since November 27, when a nation-
wide general strike forced the gov-
ernment to grant historic conces-
sions. That demonstration capped 11
straight days of rallies in Czechoslo-
vakia.
Yesterday's demonstrators waved
red, white, and blue national flags
and applauded opposition demands
for elections by July and a second
general strike on December 11 if
there is no new government by Sun-
"Resign! Resign!" they chanted.
"The turnout at the rally and
smaller ones elsewhere was a clear
signal to the government that the
opposition has massive popular
support for its demands for real
democracy.

coalition government named Sunday,
which brought only five non-Com-

The City Council voted at its
regular meeting last night to increase
the salaries of the mayor and coun-
cilmembers, upholding the decision
made by the Local Officer's Com-
pensation Commission last month.
The mayor's salary is to be upped
to $15,000 a year and that of coun-
cilmembers to $8000 a year - both
increases of $1000.
Mayor Gerald Jernigan brought a
resolution before the council to re-
ject the salary increase, but in order
to pass it needed a vote of two thirds
of council. The vote was split along
partisan lines, with the four
Democrats in favor of a salary in-
crease and the seven Republicans
opposed.
Republicans cited the financial

pay raise

problems of the city as one reason
they did not support a pay increase.
With budget problems, they said it
would be detrimental for the council
to receive more money at this time.
"I think we deserve it; we all
work really hard," Councilmember
Joe Borda (R-Fifth Ward) said. "But
we have people laid off so I am not
going to support the pay raise."
Councilmember Terry Martin (R-
Second Ward) said councilmembers
ran for office because they wanted to
serve, not because of the salary in-
centives. She said councilmembers
do their jobs knowing that it is
partly voluntary. I
"This is really just a part-time
job," Mayor Jernigan added.
But the Democrats said some
councilmembers sacrifice other in-
come opportunities when they run

for council, and if the pay becomes
any less, only the rich will be able
to serve.
"We should be careful never to
give the signal that the only people
who serve on the government are the
rich," Councilmember Larry Hunter
(D-First Ward) said. "The amount of
money being proposed here in con-
junction with the city budget is less
than one percent."
It is important that people from
all walks of the city be able to serve
on council," Councilmember Ann
Marie Coleman (D-First Ward)
added.
Hunter also pointed to the fact
that most of the people who serve
on the Local Officers Compensation
Commission, which unanimously
voted for a pay increase, are Repub-
licans, "not flashy, dancy liberals."

Financial problems impair Black student retention

Despite difficulties, students
want to continue studies at'U'

'U' lacks standardized way to
find out why students leave

by Vera Songwe
Daily Minority Issues Reporter
While many students are ponder-
ing what classes to take next
semester or looking for next year's
housing, some are spending sleep-
less nights worrying about how they
will stay at the University next
term.
Every year over a hundred minor-
ity students leave the University for
 financial reasons.

and his family's.
Because of financial aid restric-
tions, many students ride an aca-
demic merry-go-round, moving from
school to school. For example,
Rucker attended an Ohio arts school
on scholarship for two years, but
when his grant ran out, he could no
longer afford the fees so he joined
the army to earn some money. From
there, he attended Washtenaw Com-
munity College and finally, the
University of Michian.

Minority Issues Reporter
Every year since 1980, more than
10 percent of the minority students
who enrolled for winter term at the
University did not return the follow-
ing fall. Although there are many
theories about why these students
drop out, there is no standard inter-
view or tracking system to find out
why they leave.
"We ought to know more about
why students are leaving and the

future and whether they are aware of
alternative ways to continue their
education.
According to a report complied
by the Office of the Registrar,
20,799 students enrolled at the Uni-
versity for the 1987 winter term
(this only includes U.S. citizens and
permanent residents). Of those en-
rolling, 2658, were minority stu-
dents.
