start for
summer
youthi eorps
By JUDY FRANKE
Registration opened yesterday for a
state-run summer employment
program designed to create 15,000 jobs
for unemployed Michigan residents
between the ages of 18 and 21, but the
program's exisitence depends on the
success of a bill now in the state
legislature.
The Michigan Youth Corps "proved
overwhelmingly successful" when it
was initiated last summer, said Kelly
Rossman, acting administrator for the
program. She said preference will be
given to older applicants in the 18-21
age group and those who come from
families in which the principal wage
earner is unemployed.
ALTHOUGH the application process
has begun, the fate of the Youth Corps
rests in the state legislature. The
Senate is scheduled to vote today on a
$17.9 million appropriation which would
allow the program to run this summer.
Rossman is optimistic about the
program's chances in the legislature
because it has a great deal of support.
Last year, it received strong bipartisan
backing with only seven legislators op-
posing it.
Among the opponents was Rep.
Margaret O'Connor (R-Ann Arbor),
who said in the House journal that the
program was "not a wise use for tax
money" and called for permanent adult
employment programs.
LAST YEAR, 70,000 young people ap-
plied for 25,000 openings statewide. This
year's decrease in the number of
positions is due to the implementation
of two other labor projects, the Com-
munity Service Corps and the Michigan
Conservation Corps. The three projects

Demnoeratie nomnination
By GEORGEA KOVANIS
Last spring, the University's art
school was fighting to survive.
This spring - nearly one year after
the school was ordered to cut its budget
18 percent - survival means making
the school more accessible to non-art
students, expanding studio space to ac-
commodate an influx of graduate
students, and naming a new ad-
ministrator to work on recruiting and
counseling graduate students.
LAST JULY, the school was told to
reduce its budget by $260,000 over the
next five years as part of the Univer-
sity's five-year plan to reallocate $20
million of its general fund budget into
"high priority" areas.
The mandate, authored by Billy
Frye, vice president for academic af-
fairs and University provost, told the
school to boost the number of non-art
students taking art school classes. In
doing so, the school may begin teaching
art classes on Central Campus as early
as next January.
Art school administrators say these
Central Campus classes will entice
studnets - especially LSA students -
into taking art classes. And school of-
ficials say they support this plan
because it will expose more students to
the arts.
ACCORDING to Wendel Heers, art
school dean, "students who don't have
the time or energy to get (to North
Campus) might take '(a class)" on
Central Campus.
"We'd like people to know about us
and come to our classes," said Barbara
Cervenka, who has been nominated for
a new assistant deanship in the school.
"(It's) really an excellent way to make
art classes more available," she said.
Cervenka's appointment will go
before the University's regents for ap-
proval this month. Part of her job will
be to recruit and counsel the increased
number of grad students who will be in
the school. She will also coordinate
alumni programs. Other changes in the
school's programs are expected to be
approved by University administrators
this month.
OPENING MORE art classes to non-
art students will change the focus of the
program, administrators say. "The
faculty likes to have lit. school students
in their classes because they bring a
different point of view," Heers said.
The new Central Campus classes will
more than likely be introductory-level
courses, according to William Lewis,
art school associate dean. Ad-
ministrators say they are currently
negotiating for classroom space in the
West Engineering Building.
The art school is also restructuring
the credit hours for its courses to make
the courses more appealing to non-art
students who have been turned off
because many of the courses offered
only two credits for many hours of lab
work. Beginning in 1985, officials plan
to give students three credits for each
of the courses which are now worth two
and four credits.
The increase in graduate students who
will serve as teaching assistants will
give faculty members more flexibility
in scheduling classes - they will teach
two per term instead of the three they
teach now.
According to Cervenka, the school
admitted about 40 -percent more
graduate students for this coming fall
than it did last year. Because of the in-
crease, the school will be renting studio
space exclusively for graduate students
in the Printing Services Building on
Green Road.
