DRUGS Continued from Page 1 Department of Education. "We didn't want to hold up people who were eligible for aid but were confused by the question or thought it didn't apply to them" "This law will deter people from using drugs" said Angela Flood, spokeswoman for US. Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) who introduced the bill. " It will make people responsible for their actions." U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has been opposed to the law since it was introduced by Souder two years ago. Recently he attempted to introduce legis- lation to o ertur the law, but the mea- sure was defeated in Congress. "This excessively harsh reaction is symptomatic of the national drug policy" Frank said. "We single out drug offend- ers, but we don't single out assault or rape. Both presidential nominees have admitted to using drugs, and they have not been penalized for it." Opponents of the measure have accused the law of being unfairly puni- tive to minorities and the poor Although blacks and whites have approximately the same rate of drug use, 59 percent of peo- ple convicted for drug offenses are African-Arnerican. In addition, the oppo- nents contend, the law would be inherent- 1y biased against the poor, who are most in need of federal financial assistance. "That is an insult to the minorities and the poor," Flood said. "It makes a leap in assuming that minorities in college use more drugs." Flood also pointed out that the law would only apply to students cur- rently receiving financial aid, and that students could regain eligibility by par- ticipating in a rehabilitation program and testing clean for drugs. The law demands a suspension of financial aid for one sear after the first possession conviction, twov ears after the second and indefinitely after the third. The penalty for sale of drugs is one year for the first conviction and indefinitely after the second.

By Natalie Plosky For the Daily On June 5, the University implement- ed an updated version of Wolverine Access, with the new feature of online registration. Wolverine Access is the stu- dent side of a Univ ersity-wide initiatise. led by MPathways, to make information sytems enteilrise-wide. indai ancock Green. communica- tons cotditror of MPathways, exlain d fiat s/i system was undertak- en to1 nk riasrtion easier. - hi decision vs isreally to rebuild an old set - sstems so they would work together iore effectively and efficiently:' fGreen said. MPathways staff worked to clean up data in the legacy systems for months. Four complete mock conversions were conducted from the legacy system to the new system. Sixty-five thousand individ- ual student records needed to be trans- ferred and all but about 5600 records were converted automatically. The remaining records had to be converted manually. By June 5. less than 1500 records were left to be converted. However, no students enrolled for Spring, Spring/Summer, or Summer term have unconverted files. Those files not converted are expected to be completed today. Students can perform the same func- tions with the new version of Wolverine Access with the added capability of registering online. "The web is so accessible now and in many cases free" Green said. Out of town students will no longer have to worry about long-distance charges when accessing their file over the phone. Wolverine Access is still available from 7 a.m. until midnight and students will still be assigned a registra- tion start time, as with the old system. As orientation students were the first to access the new system with the online registration feature on June 6, MPathways conducted exit surveys at the orientation sessions to gauge stu- dent's reactions to the new system. The results from June 6 indicated a positive response from the students. One of several questions asked was "flow easy was it to for you to register for classes?" Of the 43 students sur- veyed, 72 percent responded that is was "very easy". Regarding the "overall ease of use," 70 percent reported that they were "very satisfied. Students were asked for further com- ments on Wolverine Access. One stu- dent's response summed up many stu- dents' experience with the new system. "Some error messages were unclear. Speed of display (was) very good. It was so quick and easy to register for classes! I'm so glad that we can now register through the computer because I've heard some horror stories about the phone sys- item!"thestudent's survey said. I/tt stome students expressed frustra- tion i etheir surveys with the new system because of various technical difficulties. There have been problems with five or six classes. Green said, but she pointed out there are thousands of classes, and thus the problems are relatively minor. Green also said the system is in its early stages. "It's a living system, it's not per- fect...We'll fix this," Green said. "It may take two or three days." Green said she was impressed with the student and staff interaction in solv- ing the problems with Wolverine Access. University staff, including Registrar Tom McElvain, have been actively involved in working out the glitches with the new system. "These are folks at the top level of the organization of the University who are working in their shirt-sleeves late at night to make sure (the system) works, Green said. Despite minor complications with Wolverine Access, Green said she is pleased with the results so far. "What we initiated was a well- planned, well-considered community effort by all of the schools and colleges, the Office of Financial Aid, the Student Financial Operations Office, the Registrar's Office and MPathways all working together with one specific goal," Green said. "The goal as to make it easi- er to access the information and still maintain control over that information." If students have further questions about addresses or phone changes, reg- istration, schedules, grades or tran- scripts, they should contact the Registrar's Office. In addition, begin- ning in the fall term, Rescomp staff will be able to assist students with the new systemn. Green encouraged students to give their feedback about Wolverine Access. Students can e-mail Green directly at MPathways6tumich.edu or contact the Registrar's Office. OWN A COMPUTER? Put it to work! $25- $75/hr. PT/FT. www.home-at-last.net 1-888-788-1033. PERSONAL.
