2 - he Michigan Daily - Wednesday, July 31, 1996 NEWS POUND HOUSE Continued from Page 1 vices, Luskin said. "It's absolutely a move in the right direction. Unless it is to be offered only to the elite, child- care must be subsidized. I don't think the community is willing to jeopar- dize quality childcare for price." But despite the student government subsidy and a more commodious facili- ty at the Towsley Center, Luskin insisted that further improvements need to be made. "It's reasonable to expect that the University should have an excellent program, but it has a long way to go in terms of providing quality childcare, especially for the student population that needs it," he said. At the June meeting of the University Board of Regents, the regents voted to form a task force to explore possible solutions to childcare problems on campus. This was a compromise to MSAs proposal to impose an addition- al fee for all students to support student child care services. The task force, under the supervision of Provost J. Bernard Machen, is sched- uled to report back to the regents by November. DTM Continued from Page 1 ket by early in the next century. "There's no way the United States can afford not to be involved in (flat panel display technology)," said Bob Tinnell, chief technical officer of the United States Display Consortium. Vice President for University Affairs Walter Harrison said the expansion may strengthen the University's position as a leader in research technology and make the Ann Arbor campus the center for dis- play technology research. Engler said he is eager to see the state capitalize on the opportunity to be a leader in the flat panel display industry. Engler told The Michigan Daily that his interests in promoting flat panel dis- play technologies nationally would be based in Michigan - and at the University. "(We can) bring the nation to Michigan. If you build it, they will come' he said. Engler said he looks for industrial. partners to move their operations to Michigan, as the state will serve the leader in the industry. "We've got all the action here," he said. "We can be an anchor for significant job growth," said DTM Executive Director Samuel Musa. Harrison said the University has the potential to build a research center sim- ilar to Silicon Valley, which sprung up around Stanford University. "The model here is what Stanford did in the computing industry," Harrison said. Harrison said the research per- formed at DTM will allow commercial and military industries to put the tech- nologies to practical use. "Our initiative isn't in making money, our initiative is in research." "We're talking about relocating an entire industry to Southeast Michigan," Harrison said. The new equipment will be inte- grated with the existing DTM sys- tems at the College of Engineering. DTM, in cooperation with its 12 cor- porate partners, serves as a center for research and development within * flat panel display manufacturing arena, working to create high-quali- ty, low-cost displays. Flat panel displays are more cost- effective than cathode ray tubes, the predecessors of flat panel displays. There are numerous commercial appli- cations for display technology, includ- ing use in automobiles, televisions, air- plane cockpits, operating rooms laptop computers. The DTM project began in 1993, with major funding coming from the State of Michigan. The center also engages in technical employee training, working in cooperation with Henry Ford, Washtenaw and Oakland commu- nity colleges. Harrison said the University will likely set up partnerships with other universities to share the flat panel display technology used at DTM.. GRAY Continued from Page 1 Americans graduating from high school. "The desire is there but obtaining funds to get to those dreams is harder," Diggs said. "Providing those funds is extremely important." Some of the research priorities of the institute include: Improving preparation, perfor- mance and education of African Americans at all levels of education. 1 Expanding and enriching oppor- tunities for African Americans to enroll in and complete education at all levels. Examining the relationship between African Americans' education- al prepartion and the quality of their career and social achievement. Gray has been the president and chief executive officer of The College Fund/UNCF since 1991. Under his tenure, the organization has raised about one-third of the nearly S1 billion in the College Fund's 50-year history. Gray has also served in the *. Congress, and has served as chairman of the Democratic Caucus and later as Majority Whip. He was the first African American to serve as chair of the House Budget Committee, and co- sponsored the Black College Act. Gray is scheduled to speak at the Maynard D.
