THIS DAY In Daily History Minority and black enrollment declines March 17, 1981 - Minority enroll- ment decreased last year despite the University's efforts to develop more programs to increase and sus- tain minority and black enrollment, according to the annual minority enrollment report released yesterday. In both 1978 and 1979, minority students comprised 9.6 percent of University enrollment, compared to the current 9.4 percent. Black enroll- ment has also decreased from 6.1 percent in fall 1979 to 5.6 percent in fall 1980. Additionally, the num- ber of Latino students decreased slightly, while both Asian and Native American student enrollment has increased. About 25 and 30 percent of the minority population drops out every year, compared to the 20 percent dropout rate of non-minority racial groups, the report said. The annual minority enrollment report also includes students' answers to a survey about student adjustment, achievement and aspirations. Near- ly half of the minority respondents claimed they "did not feel part of cam- pus life." Reasons included "racial dis- crimination and inadequate numbers of black students."

The network wouldn't say where Woodruff, a Michigan native and a University of Michigan Law School alum, was being hospitalized. He lives in Westchester County north of New York City. The transfer reflects "continued prog- ress in all respects," ABC News Presi- dent David Westin said in an e-mail to ABC staffers. Woodruff suffered seri- ous head injuries and broken bones Jan. 29 while reporting on the war. "Bob is up and about, regularly talk- ing and joking with (wife) Lee, the children, other family members and -yes- watching the news," Westin said. "He continues to show just how strong and determined he is. That said, we should expect months of further recuperation." When he was attacked, Woodruff was in his first month as "World News Tonight" co-anchor with Elizabeth Vargas. During February, Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer alternated as substitute co-anchors. Now, Vargas -who is pregnant- is going it alone. It's expected the net- work within the next few weeks will announce a longer-range plan that will involve a substitute co-anchor. If Gib- son or Sawyer are involved, it would also mean changes at "Good Morning America," where they currently work. When Woodruff and Vargas were appointed to the job to replace the late Peter Jennings in December, Wes- tin said two people were necessary because ABC wanted its anchors to frequently travel to news, do an after- noon Webcast and separate feeds of the broadcast to the West Coast each night. To keep Vargas from being over- worked, ABC is no longer doing sepa- rate feeds for the West Coast every night, but the network said it remains committed to its plan. Despite all the turmoil,,"World News Tonight" has kept its second-place status in the ratings behind NBC's "Nightly News," according to Nielsen Media Research. CBS' newscast with Bob Schieffer has been gaining, how- ever. Woodruff has been treated for the past several weeks at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. "For now, Bob will be devoting his full strength and energy to his family," Westin said. "Later we will focus on getting him back to work on his sched- ule."

Congress grants $3 billion i ee nenergy dato thepoor Michigan estimates that new funding will help 40,000 households cope with 37 percent heat cost spike WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal aid to help the poor cope with energy costs will increase by $1 billion to more than $3 billion this year under legislation approved yesterday. The House approved the proposal by a 287-128 vote, sending the measure to President Bush. He is expected to sign it. The House vote came a week after the Sen- ate approved the additional money for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. In Michigan, winter energy costs have increased by an average of 37 percent, according to the governor's office. In early winter, the state estimated that its appli- cations for heating assistance would increase by nearly 40,000 households. The current budget would have left Michigan's program with a shortfall of about $65 million. The funding approved by the House could provide about $25 million in more funding. Proponents of the new spending, led by Sen. Olym- pia Snowe, R-Maine, say the program's budget fails to meet the needs of the poor, especially given soaring heating and cooling costs. It took months to get the legislation through Con- gress, in part because of resistance from fiscal conser- vatives opposed to new spending and from lawmakers from warm weather states who contend that the program favors cold weather regions. "It's been a long and difficult road, but today marks a great victory for many families in Maine and across the country who are struggling to keep warm," Snowe said in a statement. "It is unfortunate that funding for LIHEAP has remained constant over the years while heating costs have soared," said Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, "Even with these new funds, many families will have i hard time paying their heating bills this winter." Snowe noted that while the program's spending has remained relatively flat in recent years, the average household heating oil expenditure has more than dou- bled to $1,474 since 2001, and natural gas costs have gone from $465 to $1,000. She said the program's buying power for a household's annual heating oil cost has gone from 50 percent to 19 percent in that period. The $1 billion, on top of $2.1 billion already allotted for the current budget year, was obtained by transfer ring money originally intended for the budget year that begins Oct. 1. r 1 1111 Annual Toxicology Symposium "Biomolecular and Computational Techniques in Toxicology" 4.
