The Michigan Daily-Thursday, May 6, 1982-Page 9 Reagan shifts position on role of volunteers WASHINGTON (AP)- President Reagan has retreated on his call for volunteer forces to "take up the slack" for the social programs hit by his budget cuts, but he still wants private groups to create jobs and training in communities hit hard by unem- ployment. The White House has not formally announced the shift away from a goal that leaders in the non-profit sector said was an impossible dream. But the president's recent speeches on volun- teerism have been prefaced by assurances that he doesn't expect charitable organizations "to take over the social welfare system." NOW, THE focus is on cooperative ef- forts between the federal government, corporations and civic groups to com- bat high unemployment in particular communities. Brian O'Connell, president of In- dependent Sector, an umbrella group for foundations and national volunteer groups, said it was unrealistic to expect private charities-many of them hurt by the budget cuts-to step in. In an interview yesterday, O'Connell said he has detected the change in Reagan's thinking. "I THINK HE initially hoped that private giving and volunteering could do more than is practical," O'Connell said. "I think now he recognizes that it is a mistake to suggest that we can transfer many of these government programs to voluntary organizations . . . He's begun to be more realistic about what government should do but also what voluntary organizations can do." O'Connell's organization plans to release a report today which is expec- ted to show that the administration's budget cuts are striking hardest at .those most dependent on government aid, while weakening the private groups set up to serve them. Former Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John Gardner, who founded both Common Cause and In- dependent Sector, had predicted the organizations that deal with the neediest would be hardest hit by the cuts while the arts, for instance, would suffer relatively little. "One reality underlying the whole history of social programs is that you have to give a feast to the middle class in order to get crumbs for the poor," Gardner said.

Law School receives scholarship grant a By FANNIE WEINSTEIN Twenty University Law School students will receive scholarships of $5,000 per year beginning this fall as part of a fellowship program established by the S.K. Yee Scholarship Foundation of Hong Kong, according to Law School Dean Terrance Sandalow. The foundation will donate $100,000 annually to the law school to be distributed among 20 of its students. Award recipients will be chosen on a need basis, but the final decision, San- dalow said, will rest with himself. New recipients will be chosen each year, but students will be eligible to receive the award more than once. YEE, WHO received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the-University in 1927, served in the Republic of China's army. during World War II. For the last thirty years, he has been chairman of the United Chinese Bank of Hong Kong. "He (Yee) wanted to make a con- tribution to the United States and bolster and enhance the education of lawyers who he regards as providing leadership in this country," Sandalow said. Although the award is a scholarship and not a loan, as with other law school grants, there is a "moral obligation" to repay the grant, according to San- dalow. "They (recipients) are asked to ack- nowledge that as a goal, they will at- tempt to repay the scholarship within ten years of their admission to the bar," he said.
