Ninety-nine years of editorial freedom Vol. C, No. 98 Ann Arbor, Michigan -Wednesday, February 21, 1990 The Michigan Daily 'U' issues joint meal,, ID cards to students by Jose hine Ballenger Da ily Staff Writer U-M students will no longer be able to borrow friends' identification cards to go to the computing center or to the Central Campus Recreation Building. But they won't have to wait in as many lines or pay as much money to get a new card. By September 1991, the Housing Division will have issued picture IDs to all students, combining the functions of the 23-year-old yellow car, the residence hall meal card, and the College of Engineering and Business School cards. The new card is already being used by over 90 per- cent of Engineering and approxi- mately 50 percent of Business stu- dents. The result will be a more effi- cient system for both University of- fices and students. Only one office will distribute the cards, rather than two or three, saving time and money. "We realized what we were doing was a duplication of efforts," said Randall Frank, director of informa- tion technology at the College of Engineering. To replace the card, students will incur a cost of seven dollars - the same cost of replacing the current meal card and Engineering or Busi- ness IDs. "Our hope is that it will be a bet- ter service for students," said Robert Holmes, assistant vice-president for Academic Affairs. Housing will be able to process the card "instantaneously, in 6 or 7 minutes," said Larry Durst, adminis- trative manager of residence opera- tions. The while-you-wait service will be another convenience not granted in the present one-day wait for the yellow card's replacement, or worse, the few weeks it takes for the Engi- neering card, said Andy Hoover, an Engineering junior. The card also has a magnetic stripe which recalls the student's identification number for CRISP, meals, library check-out, laborato- ries, and other facilities. In addition, University adminis- trators think loss and misuse will " :ii ii2 .:"c';i ;ic :>: i "' ,'; yy ... 123-45-6789-0 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN pose less problems, since the picture ID is non-transferable. "It will cut down on theft," said Randall Frank, director of information technology at the College of Engineering.

On this tree off South Division St., 'U' Students participate in minority recruitment by Cherie Curry and Stephen Henderson The annual phone call-out pro- gram, in which University students call prospective minority students from all over the U.S., was held last night in the Admissions Office of the Student Activities Building. The program is part of an effort by the Admissions Offiee to accomplish tfie goal of proportional representation at the University. The call-out is part of the Am- bassador Program, which is aimed at involving students currently enrolled in the University in the recruitment of minorities. The Ambassador Program uses many different methods of involving students in the recruitment process. Identifying and recommending prospective students, visiting high schools, and acting as hosts for vis- iting students are some of the efforts Accused Angell *Hall rap ist acquitted by Mike Sobel Daily Crime Reporter Delano Willis, a 42-year-old De- troit resident, was acquitted Friday in Washtenaw County Circuit Court of first degree criminal sexual conduct. Willis had been accused of raping a * University student at gunpoint in an Angell Hall restroom on May 29, 1988. The survivor described her as- sailant as having a thin build and be- ing approximately 6 feet tall. She said he wore a blue and white short- sleeved tennis shirt and matching shorts. The survivor identified Willis from a group of photos. The photo police showed her was taken from the files of Michigan State Univer- sity campus police. Willis had pleaded guilty to a charge of disor- derly conduct in East Lansing before being charged with the rape. On May 19 of last year, Willis, a Michigan Commerce Department trade analyst who worked at the Uni- versity's Business School from 1972-1978, was granted a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict. included in the Program. "Our whole job is dealing with people. It's the people to people contact that's going to make the dif- ference," said Donald Swain, Asso- ciate Director of Admissions. "We don't monitor what they say. They are free to describe the University and talk about their own experiences. We "try to make them feel comfort- able so that they don't feel lost." Prospective student Tara Adams of Detroit who received a call said, "I thought it was a nice idea. They seemed real concerned. They told me a lot about the program." The Ambassador program began five years ago, as the Each One Reach One Program, a creation of former Admissions Officer Dave Robinson. This program, which is now only one part of minority re- cruitment efforts, entails the identifi- cation and recommendation of prospective students by students cur- rently enrolled in the University. The current program includes 238 students who work year-round throughout the admissions process. "I heard about the interaction with inner city youth, and being from Detroit Pershing High School, I felt a strong need to go back and make the students there aware of the opportunities available at an institu- tion such as the University of Michigan," said Yolanda Davis, a senior in LS&A. The program, although successful in its past recruitment, is still grow- ing. "Part of our goal is to continue to expand to help people to under- stand that U of M is a place where all students are welcome," stated Swain, "We hope to evolve eventu- ally into a mentorship type pro- gram." Women use'Pill improperly 89 percent of women in University study neglect to follow birth control pill guidelines by Emily Miller, Preventing pregnancy is not just a matter of deciding to use the birth control pill. In order to be effective, the pill must be used properly. According to a recent University report, only 11 percent of the 612 women studied actually followed the six guidelines for taking the pill cor- rectly. The 26-month study was con- ducted at the Michigan Public Health Department family planning clinic by Deborah Oakley and Jeffrey Parent, a graduate student at Arizona State University. "Surprising numbers of women don't follow them (the rules) as they should. and I suspect they don't be- cause doctors and nurses may not mention the rules in the first place," said Oakley, professor of nursing and interim director of nursing research at the University. The six rules are: use only your own pills take the pills in the prescribed order finish all the pills in the pack take a pill every day take them within two hours of the same time each day if a pill is missed for two or more days, use an alternative method of birth control for the remainder of the cycle. Using another woman's pills "particularly happens with college students because they make unpre- dictable overnight stays," said Oak- ley. "They go to a friend's house or go home and forget their pills, so then they borrow them or take somebody else's." Oakley stressed that it is impor- tant to take the pills in the right order because the hormones in each pill may be different and taking them out of order may disrupt the cycle. There are typically 21 hormone pills and seven placebos in each pack. If pills are missed for two or more days, Oakley said other types See PILL, Page 2 MSA cuts budgets to fund Earth Day By Daniel Poux Daily MSA Reporter Nine of the Michigan Student Assembly's committees agreed to huge cuts in their yearly budgets, enabling the assembly to increase its funding for Earth Day 1990. At last night's weekly MSA meeting almost 100 members of the Earth Day student group packed the assembly's chambers and pleaded with the assembly to allocate as much money as possible for the Earth Week events. The week will take place April 2-6. The various MSA committees and commissions tentatively agreed to allocate $7,889 to the Earth Day 1990 group, with significant cuts across the assembly. The Earth Day representatives explained that the funding was nec- essary to bring two well-known en- vironmentalists, ecologist Barry Commoner and Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader, to campus for Earth Day. Both speakers have requested honorariums of over $4,500. LSA Senior Rachel Stevens, Co- Chair of the Earth Day 1990 Com- mittee, said the group's initial re- quest was $9,500, but they were ex- tremely pleased with the allocation and should be able to make up the want to deter anyone from coming out to our events," Cherbuliez said. "Some people can't fit -these speeches and other events into their budget, but we still want them to get involved, and get interested." Reaction among assembly mem- bers was mixed. Laura Peterson, Budget Priorities vice chair, said that 'This is a grass- roots movement, as it was twenty years . ago; we don't want to deter anyone from coming out to our events. - Julie tte Cherbuliez Earth DayCo-Organizer she was originally skeptical about the size of the requested allocation but was encouraged by the assembly members' cooperation. "I'm very glad that the MSA committees were willing to cut their budgets for the Earth Day funding," Peterson said. "With the way rela- tions have been on the assembly lately, it really means a lot."
