Page'2 - The Michigan Daily- Friday, May 18, 1984 Trotter House seeks new director By MARLA GOLD Trotter House, the University's multi-cultural student center, has gone through some troubled times in the past few years and may be headed that way again. For the second time in the last year, Trot- ter House may be without a director. Last January, Michael Swanigan, a Project Com- munity staff member, was appointed acting director of the center. John Powell, the former director, was fired from the University last spring. Swanigan's term ends when Trotter House closes for the summer on June 30, but no new director has yet been found for the fall. ELLEN OFFEN, assistant director of Student Ser- vices who is in charge of finding a permanent direc- tor, said that Swanigan may continue,in the position, but so far he has not confirmed that he wants to return in September. Swanigan said he "may or may not be back in the fall," although he had earlier said that he definitely would not be back. Since Swanigan took over the post last winter, programming has included a minority student mixer and a -study hall during study days for finals. Although Swanigan said the mixer went well, he said the "study hall didn't go as well as planned." "ONLY ABOUT 25 students took advantage of the study snacks and a quiet place to study," he said. Trotter House, originally housed at the corner of South and East University, was set up 13 years ago as a political center for blacks, as a result of the Black Action Movement strike. After that first building burned down, the center was moved to its current home on Washtenaw. It is now a center to serve all minority students on campus. But Randy McDuffy, Michigan Student Assembly's minority affairs representative, said that one of the main problems with Trotter House is that it is too small to meet the needs of all the minority groups it now serves. No events have been planned for the fall, but Offen said that when the student resident staff moves in before the start of fall classes they will plan the programs for the term. Union doors will be opened to disabled By MARLA GOLD The Michigan Union will open its doors - electronically - to the Univer- sity's handicapped students this fall as part of an agreement with the Ac- cessibility Rights Coalition. Jim Luckey of the coalition's ad- visory board said that an agreement was reached last week to install elec- tronic doors and a ramp on the Union's north side, making the Union ac- cessible to the handicapped for the first time. UNTIL CONSTRUCTION was com- pleted last summer on the basement of the Union for the MUG restaurants, the only accessible entrance was another door of the Union's north side which members of the coalition claim is too narrow for wheelchairs to get through. A tentative agreement was also reached to expand the hours of the See UNION, Page 7 valestinian protest Associated Press Palestinian women and children demonstrate yesterday in the streets of Ein El-Helweh refugee camp to protest an Israeli military operations on Wednesday.
