Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, October 3, 1991 Budget cuts shrink rainy day WASHINGTON (AP) - Michigan's safety net for the needy is collapsing under the strain im- posed by draconian budget cuts, a state legislative leader told a con- gressional panel yesterday. State Rep. David Hollister (D- Lansing) painted a gloomy picture of a state ravaged by economic woes but unwilling to raise taxes to avoid cutbacks in aid to the sick and less fortunate. The recently-adopted state bud- get "is a major retreat in the social contract," Hollister said, testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. "Michigan is now leading the re- treat," Hollister said. "Michigan was once at the forefront of Medicaid policy and social policy (but) is now behind Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana... Our human service network is on the breaking funds point. Ten years of retrenchment, waiting lists, overburdened staff, lost federal dollars. It has col- lapsed." Hollister, chairman of the ap- propriations subcommittee of the state House Committee on Social Services, was among witnesses at a hearing on how state and local gov- ernments are coping with problems in the Medicaid program. U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D- Trenton) and chairperson of the congressional panel, said the pro- gram was "crippled." Among the causes, he said, are economic deterioration, increasing numbers of poor and uninsured peo- ple, Congress's orders to make more people eligible, soaring costs of high-tech treatments and the threat of malpractice suits. "We have failed to accept the limits wealready face and those that will inevitably worsen in years to come," Dingell said. 0 The body of Roger LaFontant, former leader of Haiti's notorious Tonton Macoutes, lies in the morgue in Port-Au-Prince yesterday. LaFontant was killed Sunday in his prison cell by a soldier during the military coup that ousted the nation's civilian government. -°-r j -Getting set for you Employers share t The Job Inl Anemployer panel Arthur Anderse Dow Chemical Thursday, October 6:45 - 8:30 pm 2011 MLB The program inclu " A nationwide interac " Time to phone in you discussion Topics include: " Interview Preparatior " Appropriate Attire * Selling Yourself and " Asking Meaningful Q " Poise and Body ang Broadcast from the Unive, Sponredeyin Career PanninAPa ren~t ur first interview? ips and advice at ... terview featuring: en & Company Company r3 des:s tive teleconference for students ir questions following the panel n Your Background questions uage rsity of Tennessee-Knoxville Newsletters, Newsletters Newsletters Newsletters Big savings on newsletters for all clubs, businesses, and organizations. c"dow"d S P coup," said Roy, the main author of H AITI the nation's constitution.

I WRITE FOR THE 1111IHIGAN DAILY 764-0552 RESIDENCY Continued from page 1 requested Kelley's opinion when a student who grew up in his district couldn't get in-state residence sta- tus at Michigan State University. The applicant's parents had di- vorced, and his official residence was listed as the out-of-state ad- dress where his father lived. The student was denied Michigan residency because he attended classes full time, rather than working full time and attending school part time. "We want to educate Michigan citizens in Michigan schools, and secondly out-of-state students if there's room for them," Conroy said. "But because of some family problem, that youngster is being pe- nalized. "We go to bat for those students periodically to keep those college administrators thinking that they've got to let Michigan people into Michigan schools." Conroy said he knows of another case of a woman from Flint who had just completed her undergraduate degree at an out-of-state university0 and was accepted at the University of Michigan Law School. The Law School wanted to charge her out-oft state tuition. "Some of the universities simply try to generate more income by des- ignating a person out-of-state," Conroy said. "That's what I'd like to avoid." 3200 Student Activities Building SPONSORED BY MEN'S ASSORTED BUTTON SPONSORED BY UNIVERSITY OF UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 501 PRINTS FROM YOUR MICHIGAN SYNCHRONIZED LEVi' S 99 SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING IES7FLY SWIMMING TEAM TEA M TEMCLOTHING CONCEPTS TA Presents IDENVIM SIHIRTS1 A WAREHOUSE SALE IDENIM JACKETS Men's Famous Maker Heavy $1 Pre wash 49 Men's Leather Collar Prewashed HISPANIC Continued from page 1 "For all kinds of reasons, I think that people who are Hispanic who are interested in becoming faculty at Michigan Law School and at other Law Schools ... have not done these things, but they've done other things," he said. "I think the University is being receptive to other methods of ana- lyzing potential professors," Tor- res said. "The University is very aware of the problem." Bollinger and the law students agreed that a lack of Hispanic pro- fessors is detrimental to the climate for Hispanic students and hurts their recruitment. "I've been told (by Hispanic students) that it makes the school a less congenial place," Bollinger # said. "There's more of a sense qf identification if there are at least some faculty of the same race or ethnic background." Ramos agreed. "Once you see someone with a similar background doing something, it seems more post sible," he said. Other students in the law school agreed that the lack of Hispanic fac- ulty was a bad situation. "I guess it does bother me," said first-year law student Tom Cornett. "If we're trying to include all mi- norities in the student body, we should have some people represent- ing these minorities on the faculty," he said. "But I wouldn't condemn the University too highly ... they are trying," he added. 1- z (0 N H a. W IL. w al (0 MEN'S LEVIS PRE-WASI'ED ,JEANSD Styles 501- 505-550 Irregulars $499 $999 ''..'.
