Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, March 9, 1993 MONTS Continued from page 1 things are, I hesitate to speak in any more detail than that," he added. Although he will assume new responsibilities in Ann Arbor, Monts he faces the same issues of multiculturalism as he did at UCSB. "We basically face the same problems on this campus (UCSB) as at the University of Michigan," Monts said. "You really need people to act in cooperation with faculty, students and staff to solve these problems. If this can be done at the University of Michigan, it can stand as a model to other institutions." Monts has been at UCSB for 14 years. He joined that university in 1979 as an assistant professor of ethnomusicology and Black studies. He had formerly served as a visit- ing instructor of Afro-Asnerican Studies at the University of Minnesota and as assistant professor of trumpet at Edinboro State University in Pennsylvania. He is the author of a musical lan- guagehbook, has lectured nationwide and has written a number of conference papers and journal articles. A committee of about 12 faculty and students evaluated candidates who applied in the nationwide search for Moody's successor. Harold Johnson, special counsel to University President James Duderstadt and chair of the search 'I want to assess the extent to which multiculturalism has been incorporated into the mainstream and work closely with the deans of the schools and colleges in the area of minority faculty and student recruitment.' -- Lester Monts committee, said Monts was well received by the University. "There was positive feedback from across the community," Johnson said. "lie has an outstand- ing academic record as a scholar and teacher. He has a deep concern about students in general and for minority students in particular. "All of these qualities showed through in his interviews with dif- ferent groups on campus and people were favorably impressed," Johnson added. Moody said he also has faith in his successor. "I think he's a fine individual," Moody said. "We can't look to one person to do it all. It's not just his responsibility. It's all of ours. If we give him support and cooperation, he'll do all right." Monts agreed that community support will be a necessary component of his success. "I recognize the University of Michigan as having a world-class faculty. This makes a difference when you are trying to promote these kind of progrwns,' Monts said. "You have people in the know and on the cutting edge and this comes in handy when you are trying to in- novate new ideas into a complex institution." Monts said he is excited about working at the University. "You get to a point in your life where you want to make a contribu- tion and with the kind of reputation University of Michigan has, if I'm successful in launching a program there, that makes a difference," Monts said. Haitian refugees risk death seeking asylum PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - The five flights of stairs to the U.S. Embassy's refugee and migration affairs office were long ones for Jean-Robert Dortilus. "I was afraid to come," he said. "But this was a question of life or death for me." Dortilus, a 31-year-old supporter of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, said he hopes a decision to leave his hiding place and come to the U.S. office will pay off with political asylum in the United States. He is not alone. On average, 100 Haitians arrive each business day at the special office, which opened in January on the sixth floor of a down- town bank building to handle political refugee claims. Refugee rights organizations charge that the U.S. State Department places Haitians in danger by requiring them to come to the office to obtain asylum. The site can easily be monitored by the anti-Aristide military, they say, and the process takes too long. The Port-au-Prince office is wrestling with a backlog of cases. Of 15,000 applications filed since the coup, just 2,700 have been decided. About 350 people were granted po- litical refugee status, and more than 200 are now in the United States. But many more of those 35,000 - about one third - were granted temporary residency in the United States while their cases were decided, and none have been COURSE Continued from page 1 tors emphasize the framing of the situation, the challenge to meet the group's goals is given priority. Kovacs said that challenge builds trust. "People realize it's more satis- fying to do the highest job they can for one another." Yet, while many goals of the ropes course focus on the inter-per- sonal dynamics of trust and com- Ihe Office of Minority Affairs is now accepting applications for Resident Counselor' for the Wade H.

Among the group initiatives is "The Wall" - a 10-foot high, smooth, wooden wall. The group is told to move all of its participants from one side of the wall to the other. The group must work together to climb over the wall. Thus, the wall represents a clear physical challenge requiring group cooperation. But Kovacs said for some partic- ipants the obstacle goes much deeper, saying, "Some think of 'The Wall' as something difficult they have had to surpass in their lives, manifested physically this way." As the group progresses and de- velops during the day, ropes course instructors try to facilitate a transfer of each person's growth and the group's trust from the outdoor set- ting to the group's usual environ- ment.

Clinton said his administration's repatriation measures keep Haitians from drowning. And he has boosted immigrations staff in Port-au-Prince. A flood of refugees took to the seas after the, military ousted Aristide in a bloody September 1991 coup. The military has harshly repressed pro-Aristide groups, but many asylum-seekers have been rejected as economic refugees from the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished nation. The criteria for political asylum requires applicants to prove they are targetted for persecution. Anti- government activity or membership in an anti-government organization is not enough. nior, said he benefited from his ex- perience at the ropes course, specifi- cally at "The Wall." "The Wall required reliance on other people. A big part of what we learned was risk-taking. Many were afraid of heights and going over the wall needed other people," he said. Fan, who is presently co-oping at Intel Corporation in California, said his personal success at the firm is very much dependent on the success of the group. "I'm here in Applications Sup- port helping customers de-bug their computer systems. Obviously, I don't know everything, I need to communicate with the other engineers." Participants said one of the major obstacles the group faced in com- pleting the course was attempting new challenges and overcoming ini- tial fears. "I am very grateful (the ropes course) exists," Kovacs said. peractive and committed (high school) juniors and seniors," McRoberts said. "Our troop is highly unusual because there aren't many senior troops around ... ours being a specialty troop makes it even more different. "It's a unique group, they all like to meet on Friday nights." As a special project, members of the senior troop attempt to earn a Gold Award to reflect what they have done through their senior year. Heidi Roloff, a Girl Scout mem- ber for ten years and a senior at Greenhills school in Ann Arbor, said she is the chair of a project to inform others about scouting at upper levels. "I chose to do a promotional video to promote the older girl pro- gram," Roloff said. "It will be avail- able through (the Girl Scout) Council and we'll hopefully be able to air it through community access." Older troops generally have fewer members - Roloff's troop is comprised of only five girls. She said scouts usually decide to drop out due to peer pressure. "The classic excuse is 'it's not cool,' that and 'there's no time,"' she said. "I'm basically battling both. I've learned to make time for it." "We're not the little goody-two- shoes that we used to be," Roloff COOKIES Continued from page 1 Dlollar Bill Copjying Spif~t I I Michigan Woi men's Symposium 6 M 1 VA Registratio Forms Are Available A " the Campus Inform tion Center on the floor of the Michig Union; " the NC IC Desk in' main lobby of No Campus Commor " the Student Orga zation Developm Center, 2202 Mic gan Union.

While door-to-door selling for the troop's major fundraiser is still common, Assistant Advisor Christy Wheeler said the process becomes more difficult as the troop members grow older.

"Once the girls start to look fan like women, they're not as cute anymore so door-to-door selling the doesn't work as well." rth Wheeler added that booth sales ns; seem to work better than door-to- ni- door sales because of the effective- ent ness of dealing directly with :hi- customers.
