BUSINESS SCHOOL ATTRACTS BLACKS
Noblacks in some 'programs
By JACKIE YOUNG
Six schools in the University in-
creased their black student enrollment
in the past five years while many others
fell substantially behind in both un-
dergraduate and graduate programs,
according to a report by the Office of
Affirmative Action released last mon-
th.
The school of Business Ad-
ministration was the only school in the
University to raise black student
enrollment significantly with an almost
44 percent jump in undergraduate
programs since 1978, according to the
report.
THE SCHOOL of Art, however, suf-
fered a serious decrease in black
enrollment in both undergraduate and
graduate programs during the same
time. According to the report, in 1982
there were no black students enrolled in
graduate Art School programs and only
1.4 percent were enrolled in un-
dergraduate programs.
The Art School is slated for severe
budget cuts in the future under a five-
year University plan to reallocate funds
into high priority areas. A key Unvier-
sity review committee will determine
the size of the cuts including a
significant reduction in total student
enrollment possibly causing black
students' .enrollment to plunge even
further.
Officials at the Art School could not
be reached for comment on the report
yesterday.
BUT THE director of admissions and
student services at the Business School,
Judy Goodman, said she believes a
combination of recruitment programs

Yahoo! Annual
Ya'ssoo fest begins
By GEORGEA KOVANIS
Ann Arbor will become a little like
Athens today when the melodies from a
bouzouki band and the aroma of
authentic Greek food fill the air,
marking the start of the 12th annual
Ya'ssoo Greek Festival.
The Greek extravaganza sponsored
by the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox
Church at 414 N. Main Street, will
feature everything from gyros to ouzo,
(Greek wine). The festivities will be
held in the church parking lot, and will
run from 11 a.m. to midnight today
through Saturday.
ACCORDING TO PUBLICITY chair-
person Helen Garris, the women of the
church have been baking for three
weeks. The festival's pastry sale will
include six different types of pastries -
all made by the women - in addition to
spinach and cheese pie.
Garris said that all members of the
church pull together for the annual
festival. "It's a community effort," she
said, adding that most church members
participate in the festival in some way
or another.
Gyros, shishkebob, and chicken lun-
ches and dinners will also be served,
Garris said.
In addition, Greek vases, sailor caps,
and other articles will be sold she said.
Live music by "The Rhondians" will be
featured during the evening.
All proceeds from the festival will go
to the church expansion fund.
