Godfrey Dillard, an attorney repre- senting the high school student coali- tion, said the judge's decision was not unexpected because of the courts' increasingly conservative stances. "The traditional court was a refuge for the oppressed. Now, courts are mov- ing away from that role," Dillard said. "We see retrenchment on a broad range" Dillard said the coalition is in the process of meeting to decide whether to appeal Duggan's deci- sion. Dillard added that attacks on affirmative action are occurring not only in the courts but in education and business. LSA senior Jessica Curtin, one of students seeking to intervene, described the judge's decision as outrageous. "Our futures are being decided over our heads,' Curtin said.

TERMINAL Continued from Page 1 viewing by members of Northwest, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration. "The virtual reality helps the FAA to conduct studies on the terminal," Beier said. "With it, they are able to check things such as the visibility from the control tower." The virtual reality terminal design provides the ability to change the model in any way and then see how the termi- nal operates with those modifications. "VR has a lot of advantages over physical models," said Ross Bama, an Engineering sophomore who has been working on the project. "With VR, you can make any kind of manipulations you want." Beier used the height of the control tower as an example of one of the most important features that can be modified.

"You can also turn on and off aircraft, change or magnify viewpoints, change the size of an airplane, change the design of a structure, or even pick up and move around the tower," Barna said. Beier's group has been working on the Midfield Terminal project since October. The new terminal will include the West Concourse, which will handle smaller pri- vate planes, and the East Concourse, which will handle all publicly used air- craft. "There will also be a people-mover- type vehicle, which will transport the public from one side of the terminal to the other," Beier said. "This is good, since Metro Airport is hard to get around now." Northwest said it hopes the project will improve facilities at Detroit Metro, its largest hub. In a recent study by a Los ADMISSIONS Continued from Page1 Alan Levy, director of Housing Public Affairs, said at this time housing is still receiving applications for resi- dence halls for the 1998-99 school year. "There were concerns about avail- able first-year classes and overcrowd- ing,' Levy said. Last fall, many students were forced to live in lounges during the first week of class and in overflow triples. Levy said over the past few years the- University has stretched the capabilities of its housing. "We anticipate no temporary housing at all and a very limited use of overfiow triples," Levy said. "Both University Housing and the larger University reco- nized this couldn't and shouldn't occur:'. Levy added that restrictions placed on students wanting to return to residence halls after their first year will also ensure more space than in previous years. Angeles-based research firm, Plog Research, Inc., Detroit Metro ranked lowest overall among 36 metropolita airports, with the lowest ranking in fouP of eight categories, including speed of baggage delivery, ease of reaching gates, availability of ground transportation and ease of following signs. Northwest carries part of the respon- sibility for many of these problems since it is responsible for about 74 per- cent of all of Metro Airport's traffic. Jim Faulkner, manager of media rela- tions at Northwest, said the Midfiel4 Terminal project is an attempt to better service in Detroit. "Northwest has outgrown its facili- ties at Detroit Metro airport,' Faulkner said. "It definitely needs work." The Midfield Terminal project is cur- rently under construction and is expected to end sometime in 20011. Mr. Beiers VR model of the new terminal is password protected and cannot be accessed by the public. Levy said overflow triples have been used for the past eight years, always "out of necessity." In response to challenges arising from last fall's student body, the University thought it needed to adjust the size of the class, Peterson said. "Given what happened last year, it was appropriate to downsize: Peterson said. As space permits. the number of stu- dents accepted from the admissiorS waitlist to the University will vary. "Only a fesw students were admitted from the waitlist," Peterson said. "After mid-May we begin to project our enrollment with certaintv. As of June 15. 56 percent of students admitted paid their deposits as compared with 55 percent in 1997. Peterson said the percentage of minority students for this fall has not chanmed sig'nificantly. "The makeup of the student body i very similar to last years," Peterson sai Peterson said the University's goal for this fall's incoming class is to be 5,200.
