Page 2-The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 15,1990 Campus Day welcomes H.S. by Tom Kent "What's the partying like?" Heather Martinson, a senior from Crystal Falls, Michigan, taking a tour of the University during Cam- pus Day, said this was one of the popular questions from prospective students who were trying last week to decide whether to come to the University. Campus Day, a University welcome for high school seniors admitted on first review of their ap- plications, began two weeks ago and continues through April. The program introduces students and their parents to student life at Michigan through a variety of activities including: tours of the campus, discussions, class visits and opportunities to speak with academic counselors. Even though many of the stu- dents are interested in University party life, many of them are also interested in other social aspects on campus. "Students also want to know about dorm life and extracurricular activities," Martinson said. "Parents, however, are more con- cerned with costs, studying, and the GPA's of incoming students," her father John Martinson said. Campus Day, now in its tenth year, is being co-coordinated by LSA juniors Wendi Jackman and Mike Neiberg. Neiberg said the program has been effective "because of suc- cessful student leadership and the ability of the coordinators and guides to offer an accurate and reliable rep- resentation of student life." Last year, 1,030 high school se- niors attended from 29 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Seventy percent of those seniors later enrolled in the University. As well as providing a general program for prospective LSA stu- dents, Campus Day works closely with individual colleges, such as Engineering, Art, Music, Natural Resources and Nursing, to provide more specific information for stu- dents admitted to these programs. As high school students and their parents arrived at Campus Day last week, they were greeted with coffee, donuts and a welcome from Under- graduate Admissions Counselor Ann Lyons. After introductions, the groups took a tour of central campus. Tour guide Chris Cook, LSA junior, ;tudents pointed out the expensive English bricks in the Law Quad and told ev- eryone not to step on the "M" in the Diag. Following the tours, separate dis- cussion sessions were held for stu- dents and their parents. Paul Adler, from Fairfield, Connecticut, father of a prospective School of Natural Re- sources student, said he was im- pressed with the "interpersonal pre- sentation that the counselors gave. They gave their feelings as stu- dents." LSA first-year student Scott Cor- lett also appreciated the program, "Besides the cold weather, I was im- pressed. I got a good view of what the campus was like." Colleges asked to end campus racism by Michael Sullivan A report called "Civil Rights in Higher Education in Michigan," rec- ommending a "zero tolerance" anti- discrimination policy and a manda- tory class on racism, is sparking in- terest around the country. The Michigan Civil Rights De- partment released. the report to Michigan state universities last De- cember, but the reports are now be- ing distributed the general public. "We're going to print these up, put covers on them and ship them out to anybody who wants a copy," said the Department's Public Infor- mation Officer Jim Horn. "We're getting requests from colleges all over the country." The report lists 43 recommenda- tions for Michigan's state universi- ties, including: a "zero tolerance" anti-discrim- ination policy banning racist expres- sion and action. a system to track and publicize incidents of discrimination. mandatory classes on cultural pluralism. credit for faculty who counsel and mentor minority students. counseling offices for minor- ity students. sensitivity training for faculty and administration, including the Regents "to improve awareness of the issues and concerns of racial and ethnic minorities, women, individu- als with disabilities and gay men and lesbians." publicizing the "Ethnic Intim- idation Act," which prohibits intim- idation or harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin. "In most respects we could iden- tify programs on the campus that seem to be responding to the rec- ommendations of the report," said the University's Affirmative Action Office (AAO) Director Zaida Giraldo whose office examined the report's recommendations to determine how the University should respond. "I'm not saying we did every- thing the commission recom- mended," Giraldo said, but added substantial efforts are being made. Giraldo said the University did not have programs in two areas: publicity for the "Ethnic Intimida- tion Act" and sensitivity training for administration and Regents. Posters to inform students of the "Ethnic Intimidation Act," will be put ip by AAO but the office needs administrative input before starting a sensitivity training program, Giraldo said. In addition, a report will be com- piled by the University explaining why already existent programs sat- isfy the rest of the Department's rec- ommendations. The Department of Civil Rights has been pleased by the reaction from universities, said Department Director John Roy Castillo. "It's being accepted very posi- tively," he said. "In a couple of years we'll go back and do a follow-up," Castillo said. "At that point, we could ask for legislative support on some of these recommendations." CODE Continued from Page 1 Among its peer institutions, the University of Michigan is the only university without a code of non- academic conduct, University Gen- eral Counsel Elsa Cole said. Cole said codes of conduct are beneficial to both the students and the universities because they allow the universities to bypass an often lengthy, complicated court process. "It's better for the University to regulate itself than depend on an out- side entity such as the courts - civil or criminal - to determine its rules," Cole said. The University community would judge offenses differently than a court system, Cole said, for in- stance, cheating would be considered more serious at the University than in the court system. Similarly, she said, a serious of- fense in the court system such as ar- son, might - if committed by a mentally disturbed student - be treated more leniently or by special counseling than in a court system which "sees it in black and white as a crime." The University has policies deal- ing with academic harassment and discrimination. IN BIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Bush to attend drug summit WASHINGTON - President Bush will refuse to meet with Peruvian coca growers at the Columbian drug summit and will travel to Cartagena with a sharply reduced staff because of concerns for his safety, White House officials said yesterday. On the eve of the one-day meeting of four hemispheric nations, the White House also retreated from previous suggestions that Bush would revive a proposal to send.U.S. Navy warships into South American wa- ters to track cocaine-trafficking planes. Bush will fly to Columbia early today, joining Presidents Virgilio Barco of Columbia, Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia and Alan Garcia of Peru for six hours of anti-drug talks at a heavily guarded navy base at Cartagena. The four leaders plan to issue a joint statement pledging to cooperate in the fight against drug trafficking. Bush's summit partners were ex- pected to press him for more economic aid to ease their farmer's shift from lucrative coca plants - used to produce cocaine - to growing legal crops. Tadzhiks riot against housing shortages, Armenian refugees MOSCOW- Villagers threw firebombs and acid at troops protecting the Communist Party headquarters in the Tadzhik capital yesterday, but the violence eased after three leaders in the republic resigned, Soviet media said. The protest was over housing shortages and the arrival of Armenian refugees. Officials denied Soviet television reports that 37 people had been killed in the violence. Tass, the Soviet news agency, reported 12 people dead. President Mikhail Gorbachev called for harsh action against the rioters, saying the "country's destiny and the safety of our citizens is at stake." More troops landed in Dushanbe, the capital, to guard strategic points and restore order, Tass said. Tadzhik Interior Ministry spokesman Mikhail Shtatnov said no one was killed by soldiers sent to quell the fighting, but correspondents in Dunshanbe reported seeing some people fatally shot by soldiers. Air force tests 'Star Wars' CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Two satellites rocketed into space yes- terday on what the air force said was the most ambitious "Star Wars"-ex- periment yet, testing a plan to destroy hostile missiles by bouncing laser beams off orbiting mirrors. One satellite carried a mirror designed to reflect lasers fired from a Hawaiian mountaintop back to a ground target to test the accuracy of such a system. The other held sensors for measuring how successfully scientists can correct distortions caused by dust, moisture and gases as the beam shoots through the atmosphere. The satellites were carried aloft by a12-story Delta rocket at 11:15 a.m. Nearly two hours later, the Air force announced both were in their proper orbits. "Both spacecrafts are doing almost exactly what we expected them to do," said Air Force Col. Tom Meyer, a project official. Jet crashed in south India NEW DELHI, India - An Indian Airlines Airbus jet that had been in use only three months crashed onto a golf course and burned yesterday short of a runway in southern India. 91 of the 146 people on board died. The Airbus-320 grazed a clump of trees on its final approach to Bangalore airport and caught fire when it hit the ground, about 50 yards from the runway, officials said. The flight originated in Bombay, 530 miles northwest of Bangalore. The officials said 139 passengers and a crew af seven were on the hour- long flight and at least 55 people survived the crash, including two Amer icans, the airline said. An airline spokesman in the New Dehli said there were at least 17 for- eigners on the flight, including two Americans, a Frenchman, two Cana- dians, three Japanese and a Hong Kong man, all of whom survived. The plane's tail was intact but its fuselage was shattered and charred and the nose was smashed across the grassy plain adjacent to the airport. No immediate cause was given for the accident, which occurred about 1 p.m. Airport officials in Bangalore, contacted by telephone, said the weather was clear and there were no indications of an emergency on board. FDA looking into drug labels 0 0 VIOLATIONS Continued from Page 1 As director of program sales, Middaugh was responsible for hiring people to sell programs at home football games. Vendors included high school students, other Michi- gan varsity athletes,sand baseball players. Though most vendors re- ceived only a percentage of their program sales, non-scholarship baseball players allegedly were per- mitted to keep all profits. Though several of Middaugh's players allegedly were supported through the diversion of program- sale revenues, only Chris Gagin, a three-year starter at shortstop, was directly affected by the disclosure. All of the other players allegedly involved in the sale of programs have alreadyused up their efigbility by either graduating or signing a professional contract. If Gagin, as a non-scholarship athlete, wanted to restore his eligibility he had to pay back the money. Having paid back the money, Gagin is awaiting a deci- sion from the NCAA. Gagin, who was offered a schol- arship from Michigan State, decided to enroll at Michigan instead, where he received financial aid covering two-thirds of his expenses. Mid- daugh apparently chose to aid Gagin through the sale of programs because a one-third athletic scholarship would count as one full scholarship out of a maximum of 13 allowed by the NCAA. "The whole reason I took the money in the first place was because I needed it to (attend school),"rGagin said. "I didn't know where the money was coming from. I paid the money back to the NCAA... I made my bed and now I'll have to sleep in it. " The embezzlement charge sur- faced after a university inquiry into Middaugh's accounts after his forced resignation last July. The Big Ten had reportedly accused Middaugh, a former accounting major at Miami of Ohio, of manipulating scholar- ships past the limit of 13. Such ac- tions are a merely NCAA transgres- sions not federal violations. "This is Michigan's first time with this kind of stuff," Gagin said. "The sad thing is once you get labled as a rules violator, the reputation is shot. " Gagin did add that, "people will want to come to play for (new coach) Bill Freehan, to go to Michi- gan. If you're going to play baseball at a Northern school, Michigan is the place, probation or no proba- tion."

THE UNIVERSITY SECTION WE EKEND MAG*AZINE FEBRUARY 16 I We're Looking For a Few l WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration is investigat- ing whether stronger label warnings are needed for a blood-pressure drug that lawsuits blame for two deaths in Michigan, a spokesperson said yes- terday. Separate suits filed in 1988 and 1989 allege the drug companies did a poor job of warning the medical profession about sodium nitroprusside's toxic nature and did not give adequate instructions on its proper use. Manufacturers are required to include warning labels about the risk of cyanide, which is released into the bloodstream when the drug is absorbed, in instructions about its use. Beverly Hires, an attorney on behalf of relatives of the people who died from the drug, said that the warnings should say that poisoning is even possible even with correct dosages and should include antidote in- formation.
