AUDIT
Continued from page 1
direct research expenses for gov-
ernment compensation.
"Some of the things they ques-
tion are things that involve private
tips... and entertainment types of
things that are questionably related
to research and questionable from a
public administrative standpoint."
The indirect cost recovery rate is
negotiated by a university and either
HHS or the Department of Defense,
establishing a fixed percentage for
costs not related directly to re-
search expenditures to be compen-
sated by the Federal Government.
The University's indirect cost
recovery rate is 57 percent for fiscal
year 1992. So if the University re-
ceives a $100,000 research grant, it
receives $57,000 from the Federal
Government to cover costs indi-
rectly related to its research.
Regent Philip Power (D-Ann
Arbor) said that out of the $300,000
being questioned by the HHS, he
found only $50,000 that could be
considered a questionable use of re-
search funds.
"You don't like to see any mis-
takes, but in the context of the
politicization, in the context the
draft report was leaked, and in the
context of the amount of activity
that goes on at the University, I
think we came out looking damn
well," Power said.
Of the $50,000 which Power
found questionable he said, "You'll
never fix (the $50,000), someone is
always going to screw up."
The audit process will continue
as scheduled. University officials

have been examining the audit since
they received it in late August.
Their response will contain chal-
lenges to any figures they find ques-
tionable.
A university normally takes 30
to 60 days to respond to a draft au-
dit, Talesnik said.
'U' celebration marks Hispanic heritage
by Robert Patton
Daily Minority Issues Reporter
"Latinos Moving Beyond
Boundaries" is the theme of this
year's Hispanic Heritage celebra-
tion, which features more than a
month of speakers, films, music, and
dance, beginning tomorrow.
"The main purpose of the event
is to showcase and share our contri-
butions to history," said Kathy
Berdy, Hispanic representative to
Minority Student Services.
"By the year 2,000, Hispanics
will be the largest minority in the
country," she said, adding that many
Americans know little about
Hispanic culture.
"We'd particularly like to edu-
cate students about the diversity
within Hispanic culture," Berdy
said. "There are Hispanics from
Central America, Latin America,
and the Caribbean, and Hispanic-
Americans who have lived here all
their life.
"Many people don't know about
these differences," she added.
At the same time, Berdy said, she
wants the "concept of unity" to be a
key part of the celebration.
"(Hispanics) have the common
bond of our language, and we need to
use this to move forward as a peo-
ple, beyond the boundaries set by
others and by history," she said.
The celebration kicks off tomor-
row night at Trotter house with a
Puerto Rican Bienvenida dance and
an informal talk with noted film
director Marcus DeLeon. Events run
until Oct. 19.
On Oct. 2, Carlos Fuentes, one of
the most respected and distin-
guished Hispanic authors today,
will speak on "The Buried Mirror:
Reflections on the Culture of Spain
and the New World."
Other highlights include lec-
tures on "Bilingual Education Laws
and their Effect on Learning," on
Sept. 20, "Latinos and AIDS," on
Sept. 26, and "Legal and Political
Perspectives on Puerto Rico's
Colonial Status," on Oct. 8.
ENROLLMENT

students financially throughout
their four years in school.
"I know several students who
drop out every year because they
don't have enough money," she said.
Asian American students said
they felt some tension on campus,
but certainly less than other mi-
norities experience.
"I don't think there's any racism
towards Asians as much as there is
towards Blacks," said Julie Chang,
an Engineering sophomore.
Chang suggested the University
should continue efforts to educate
people about different cultures,
such as the current Hispanic Her-
itage Celebration. Otherwise, she
said, it just takes time to change
people's attitudes.
For the past three years, the Uni-
versity has followed an agenda to
increase diversity known as the
Michigan Mandate. In a new state-
ment on the mandate released earlier
this week, President James Duder-
stadt defined the purpose of the
plan.
"The fundamental goal of the
Michigan Mandate is to make the
University of Michigan a leader
known for the racial and ethnic di-
versity of its faculty, students, and
staff," Duderstadt wrote.
The revised edition of the man-
date reports a 39 percent increase in
minority enrollment at the Univer-
sity during the past three years.
"The indication is that the rate
has been going up every year," Mat-
lock said. "We of course still have a
long way to go."
The revised mandate compares
1990 census data for the state of
Michigan and University enroll-
ment data for the 1990-1991 year.
While total minority enrollment at
the University has already exceeded
the percentage of minorities in the
state, not all minority groups are
proportionately represented.
Census figures indicate that the
state's population is 17.8 percent
"Hispanic students need to take
pride in their culture and non-
Hispanic students need to share that
culture," Berdy said. "Too often,*
.people's impression of Hispanics is
formed by misconceptions and
stereotypes," she added.
Students interested in informa-
tion should go to Minority Student
Services, Room 2304 in the Union.
people of color. Minority represen-
tations at the University in a num-
ber of student, faculty and staff cat-
egories is 18.3 percent. The state, for.
example, is 13.9 percent Black and
1.1 percent Asian American. In
comparison, the University was 7.1
percent Black and 7.5 percent Asian
American in 1990.
University officials said there is
no cap on the number of minorities
they will try to recruit.
"The goal is to be reflective of
the greater society," Shaw said.
"Certainly Michigan is important,
but what we're trying to look at is
some general parity with minority
representation."
Special Assistant to the Presi-
dent Shirley Clarkson agreed.
"We don't have quotas for any
group or restrictions," Clarkson
said. "The population is changing soi
rapidly that people who are a minor-
ity today will be a majority tomor-
row."

HOW WISC IS DIFFERENT FROM MOST OVERSEAS PROGRAMS:
" Accepted students receive admissions letters (and later transcripts) directly
from an Oxford (or Cambridge) college.
students are directly enrolled as full students of the Oxford college.
. Qualified early applicants may share a co-ed Student Residence associated
with St. Catherine's College, Oxford (fully integrated with British students).
t Students accepted before November 1 (for the Winter Term) or before May 1
(for next year) are guaranteed housin with British s nts.
" Students will NOT be taught in (and receive transcripts from) an American
college operating in Oxford. WISC is one of the few completely integrated
(academically and in housing) overseas programs in the UK.
" Previous students in your field will speak to you on the phone.

that were asked last year at David
Souter's confirmation hearing.
Souter was confirmed despite his re-
fusal to answer such questions.
"I don't understand why you are
being treated any differently than
these other confirmable people,"
Hatch said.
A federal appeals judge since last
year, Thomas was nominated this
summer to replace resigning Justice
Thurgood Marshall. Both men are
Black, but Thomas has a strongly
conservative record opposed to
Marshall's liberalism.
Biden (D-Del.) expressed exas-
peration at Thomas' insistence dur-
ing three days of hearings that he es-
poused "natural law principles"
only as political theory, not as a po-
litical philosophy.
"That strikes me as something
different that what you said" in
many previous speeches, Biden told
Thomas.
"I have not in any speech said we
should adjudicate cases by directly
appealing to natural law," Thomas
told Biden.
When Republicans sought a brief
recess, Biden told Thomas: "Your
friends think you are getting into
trouble."
"That's not fair," said Sen. John
Danforth (R-Mo.), Thomas' prime
Senate sponsor who has sat behind
the nominee throughout his testi-
mony.

pressed Thomas to tell him what

disputes, including one the high
court will consider this fall.
Thomas refused to give such an
analysis "in this setting."
Outside the U.S. Capitol, Black
