"I don't think (many professors) now see retention as part of their jobs," Story said. Faculty often think, "We already have a program - CSP - whose job it is to make adjustment of mi- norities to the University work." The University has established a commission to work in part to in- crease the retention and graduation of students of color. Moody said the commission will take recommenda- tions made by past committees and turn them into policies that can be implemented in the fall. The commission, which recently met for the first time, will be work- ing this summer to create the poli- cies, Matlock said. In the end, "every academic unit should be looking at retention and have some kind of re- tention program," he added. Goals of the commission will in- clude meeting the "full financial needs of all underrepresented minor- ity students who are Michigan resi- dents" and expanding the financial aid resources available to out-of-state underrepresented minority students, according to a memo written by Moody in November of 1989 outlin- ing his hopes for the newly-founded commission. Also in the memo, Moody set as an objective of developing and im- plementing a "comprehensive plan to enhance minority student suc- cess."

The announcement came one day after the Israeli government con- firmed that it put up $1.8 million to help finance the settlement of 150 Jews in a 72-room complex near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The settlement, set up on April 11, has provoked angry demonstra- tions by Christian clerics and Palestinians, both Christian and Moslem. In announcing Friday's daylong protest, the leaders of 10 religions in the Holy Land said government support for the settlement "endangers the survival of all Christian communities in the Holy City." The Greek church, which says a former tenant illegally leased the compound, got a court order to have the Jews evicted. The Supreme court will consider an appeal of the order on Thursday. Jude dismisses child-abuse charge against cocaine mom MUSKEGON, Mich. - A judge yesterday dismissed a child-abuse charge against a welfare mother accused of delivering cocaine to her baby via the umbilical cord. Muskegon County Circuit Judge R. Max Daniels ruled there was no evidence that crack cocaine used by Kimberly Hardy caused the low birthweight and gastrointestinal problems of her son, born last August. Daniels, however, denied Hardy's motion to dismiss the cocaine delivery charge, a 20-year felony. Her trial is scheduled for June. Police say Hardy, the first woman in Michigan to face such a charge, admitted she smoked crack 13 hours before the birth. A drug test ordered two days later showed signs of cocaine in the baby's system. Hardy has seen her infant son only a few times. "We've never bonded because he was taken from me right from the hospital," she said, adding that she has kicked her addiction through drug treatment. U.S. base greets ex-hostage WIESBADEN, West Germany - Freed American hostage Robert Polhill checked into a hospital suite and spent his first day of freedom yesterday savoring scrambled eggs and bacon and enjoying an afternoon snooze. U.S. officials, who plan to question Polhill about his nearly three years in captivity, gave the 55-year-old professor a day off to rest and un- dergo routine medical tests. He was released Sunday. They said Polhill, held by a pro-Iranian group, was likely a captive in the same building as two American colleagues, but they doubted he would know much about any of the other 15 Western hostages in Lebanon. Meanwhile, there were reports from Tehran and Lebanon that a second hostage release may be in the offing. But news reports in Tehran and Beirut and a Pro-Iranian Shiite cleric said the U.S. would have to recipro- cate. 0 0 50 - 40 -- 1974 I a I le 1976 1978 1980 1982 19841 Year Enrolled i CAR Continued from Page 1 Body panels covered with solar cells will power the Sunrunner and are scheduled to be completed in two weeks, Lynch said. The work required to finish the car will continue this summer by a 30-student crew, many of whom gave up summer engineering intern- ships to contribute to the project. However, the construction and testing of the car are merely the tip of the iceberg of preparation under- taken by the 110-member team. The route's intricacies, such as stop signs and changes in elevation, have been studied by the team. Dave Bell, race strategy group leader, spent his Spring Break driving to Florida and back to record the race route. "The race is interesting in that the quality of cars and drivers will be similar; therefore, strategy is very important," he said. Bell explained that with thorough knowledge of the course and predic- tions from a team of 10 meteorology graduate students, the solar car team can gain an advantage over other less prepared teams. In addition, the use of an 18- wheel trailer with a complete auto lab in its back half has been secured for transportation of the Sunrunner. But extensive preparations cannot be made for free. The solar car team has raised more than $750,000 in cash and donations to support their effort. "It's simple: money equals speed," said Lynch, one of the prin- ciple fundraisers for the project. "Based on the fact that we've raised more money than other teams, the rumors seem to be that we're the fa- vorite." Fancy agreed. "I think we are the favorites. We have the biggest bud- get by far." But she added the team's primary goal is a top three finish. The top three finishers in this summer's Sunrayce will be invited to compete in the World Solar Chal- lenge in Australia next fall. GM, winner of last year's Solar Chal- lenge, will partially fund those three teams. 0 I*Avw 0 - 4 j pvvu IA&V Al oLvk t1 1 '10A Q' ti n' tl t Z lht io Calvin and Hobbes ." 0 ' .

Amtrak derailment injures 83 BATAVIA, Iowa - A 19-car Amtrak passenger train derailed yesterday, injuring at least 83 of the 400 people aboard, authorities said. Seven cars of the eastboundCalifornia Zephyr derailed about1:25 p.n. on Burlington Northern tracks, authorities said. Eyewitnesses counted as many as nine cars off the track. The train was carrying 394 passengers and about 20 crew members, said Debbie Hare, an Amtrak spokesperson in Chicago. Area hospitals reported receiving at least 83 people from the accident, 10 of whom were hurt seriously enough to be admitted. Iowa State Patrol Lt. Ronald Moon said there were no known deaths. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Burlington Northern were dispatched to the scene. The train had 12 passenger cars, four baggage cars and three locomotives, said Sue Martin, an Amtrak spokesperson in Washington. EXTRAS Fat-like gel replaces cream in new oat bran ice cream BOSTON - Government food scientists looking for a healthier way to satisfy forbidden cravings said yesterday they have created the ultimate in guilt-free desserts - oat bran ice cream. Actually, calling it ice cream is stretching it a bit, for it has none of the fat-filled cream that is an essential ingredient for the real thing. In- stead, it gets its creamy consistency from a tasteless, fat-like gel that's made entirely from oats. Its principal creator, George Inglett, calls this secret ingredient OatriM. He said it could take the place of fat in many cold foods, including may- onnaise, cheese spreads, salad dressings and margarine. "It has a double whammy," Inglett said. "It will replace animal fat, such as cream, in desserts. And it acts in the body to lower cholesterol." able £ir4infliI The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
