The Michigan Daily - Thursday, June 16, 1983 - Page 7 Fewer blacks entering Harvard The number of black students that enrolled at Harvard University last year dropped 16 percent causing the school to re-evaluate its recruiting programs. Harvard accepted 171 black students last year, but only 56.7 percent enrolled and anestimated 53.2 percent are ex- pec enroll this year. COLLEGES University administrators said they were disappointed by the drop, blaming it on stiff competition for black students among Ivy League schools such as Yale, Princeton, and Brown univer- sities. Officials in the admissions office said they may restructure the current recruiting programs. Last year several Harvard students traveled across the nation to recruit blacks students and many black alumni were asked to en- courage potential applicants. The number of minority students at- tendiig Harvard remained constant and the percentage of Hispanic and Peurto Rican students went up significantly following high-powered recruiting programs targeted at these students. - The Harvard Crimson Washington cuts $13 million Officials at the University of Washington will eliminate three depar- tments and 19 academic programs by 1985 to save the school $13 million. Following a 7 percent cut in state ap- propriations last week, the university announced its plan to wipe out programs such as art and business education, kinesiology, and nutritional sciencea. President William Gerberding said the school will concentrate on im- proving undergraduate instruction, restoring funds to the library budget, and increasing computer services. Tenured faculty members in the slated programs have been promised jobs in other university departments and students effected by the cuts will have until June 1984 to complete degrees. - The Chronicle of Higher Education Wisconsin vetoes union The Board of Regents at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin in Madison voted last week to deny collective bargaining rights to faculty members. Professors, instructors, and teaching assistants have been fighting to be represented by a state group, similar to a union, to bargain for higher wages and benefits. The Teachers Association of the University of Wisconsin Faculties asked the state legislature earlier this year to grant them the right, but the government officials turned the issue over to the regents. Throughout the day-long debate which preceded the vote, the regents contended that the group's represen- tation would disrupt the "congenial" relationship between the University administration and faculty members. - The Daily Cardinal TAs sue Berkeley Teaching assistants at the University of California at Berkeley are suing the school for abruptly changing from a trimester system to the standard two- term year. The suit, filed by the American Federation of Teachers, charges that the university did not give TAs adequate notice of the schedule change. The teachers saya two-semester school year will require 30 more teaching hours than the old system. Teachers are not trying to block the university from implementing the plan, but they are asking for a wage increase to compensate for the extra work. - The Daily Californian California prof. caught spray painting A German literature professor at the University of California in San Diego faces a possible six-month jail sentence or $1,000 fine for spray painting "Killers for Reagan" on a stairwell in a campus building. The campus police last month charged Prof. Reinhard Lettau for vandalizing state property and issued him a citation. A graduate student reported that Let- tau was spray painting the stairwell in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building during school hours. Lettau was suspended for five days in 1972 because he swatted a Marine recruiter with a newspaper. - The Guardian Princeton student gets delayed degree A Princeton University student who was denied her diploma last year because she plagiarized portions of a term paper will receive the belated degree this month. Princeton officials last year witheld Garielle Napolitano's degree and notified law schools she had applied to that the student falsified research in- formation. Napolitano, an honors student in Spanish, sued Princeton for its decision to delay her degree, but she lost the case and two appeals. Napolitano did not participate in the school's commencement ceremonies last week and instead asked that her diploma be mailed. She said she has not decided whether she will attend law school. - The Chronicle of Higher Education Angels may guard Western Students at Western Michigan University may have a chance tojloin the Guardian Angels. The national group, based in New York, is con- sidering starting a patrol on Western's campus, despite criticism from many students and residents in Kalamazoo. The critics said the university does not have a severe crime problem and the campus police do an adequate job of patrolling the area. But John McKim, national leader of the Guardian Angels, said the patrol would prevent crime. If a patrol is established the group will call for volunteers from the univer- sity. - The Western Herald Compiled by Halle Czechowski Colleges appears every Thursday Reagan assails teacher's union ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - President He urged parents to tell their lawmakers education when every fact and figu Reagan, arguing that education should that "education must never become a shows he is a foe of the classroom." not be a "political football," yesterday political football because your children Sen.
