Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Friday, September 13, 1991 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 'You don't like to see any mistakes, but in the context of the politicirption ... I think we came out looking damn well' - Phil Power, University Regentt 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 Continued from page 1 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."

"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. Danforth said Thomas had laid to BUDGET Continued from page 1 ing group in Lansing, said, "It is a cut in a way because the universities are going to have to make do until they get the money."

Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) pressed Thomas to tell him what standard he would use in deciding an abortion case, noting that Thomas had already testified in support of a test used to decide school prayer 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 civil rights and religious groups staged a rally to urge the Senate to reject the nomination and "send him back to Pin Point, Ga.," his home- town. Black groups that oppose Thomas accused him of trying to ob- scure his record by focusing atten- tion on his poverty-stricken child- hood in the rural, segregated South. questionis how soon. Most likely it will be next year," Campbell said. Campbell agreed the University is much better equipped to handle the delay than are smaller universi- ties. "A place like the U of M has the best ability to handle the delay be- cause their budget is so huge. In a way it is good for the University 0 because it can continue to overspend and then it can ask for more money.
