Cass Tech delays students''U

By SUE BARTO
Three Detroit Cass Technical High School students
have been accepted and three denied admission to the
University after the high school's counseling office
submitted their applications late.
The applications were misplaced during a
renovation of the office and because the- secretary
responsible for the forms was out sick they got mixed
in with incoming application forms, said Gwendolyn
Patrick, a Cass Tech assistant principal. The
deadline is March 1, and the applications did not
arrive at the University until the first week of April.
PATRICK SAID three of the students involved
were admitted to LSA, but the other three wanted
engineering, where there were no spots left. Those
students are currently applying to the University's

Dearborn campus engineering college, which still
has openings for the fall.
Cass Tech is considered one of Detroit's most
presitigious high schools. Along with Renaissance

applications
High, it is a target for intense University recruit-
ment.
Patrick said about 88 percent of the Cass Tech
graduates go on to college, a number considerably
higher than the average for Detroit's high schools.
Assistance University Admissions Director Dave
Robinson said errors such as misplaced applications
hurt efforts to boost black enrollment, which is
currently 4.9 percent. The.tJniversity's goal is 10
percent.
"It is symptomatic of something which happens in
inner-city schools, and that's' unfortunate," said
Robinson. "Students think the institution is at fault."
He added that while the University can never in-
sure that the high schools will do the necessary paper
work, it can try to improve communications.
"The University has a responsibility to see that the
appropriate people, including students, are aware (f
the (due) dates."
