(AP)-An in stitute devoted solely to researching and interpreting race relations would promote a better understanding and sensitivity to racism, a lawmaker said in proposing state funds for the plan. Rep. Morris Hood, D-Detroit, said he plans to include $175,000 in the state higher education budget for the Race Relations Institute, to be located at Wayne State University in Detroit. Hood, head of a committee deciding how to distribute money for state universities, said he also would con sider giving aid toi a similar endeavor planned at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. Both center may be open by year’s end. j In addition to conducting research, the Wayne State institute hopes to col lect and integrate data on race rela tions that’s reliable enough to be in terpreted, said Sue Marx Smock, t dean of the school’s College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs. ‘‘One of the real problems in race relations is misinformation,” Smock said. “We want to have people that can really look at and examine it and determine what it really means. A number doesn’t mean anything by itself.” The institute also would conduct seminars for interested parties, such as civil rights leaders, affirmative action attorneys, and equal employ ment employers and workers, she said. If the center already were in place, Smock said, it could have brought in constitutional lawyers to discuss the impact of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on civil rights, or the im pact of the coming Census. Proponents hope to make the in stitute a national center for advanc ing the understanding of racial dif ferences, primarily between blacks and whties, in American culture. A review by Wayne State and Western Michigan found no organiza tion in the United States devoted sole ly to researching and interpreting race relations. “Just consider what happened on college campuses with protests across the country,” said George Dennison, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Western Michigan. “One way of addressing these kinds of problems is to ensure there is an information base to look at why these problems are occurring and how to address them. “It has reached a point in time to . reassess how we can sustain the ac complishments we made in the early 1960s. There’s much at stake.” The Institute for the Study of Raical and Ethnic Relations at Western Michigan would also conduct research and spread information, he said. Smock said the Detroit institute plans to be objective and neutral. Apartments For Elderly 9ee Improvement Recently, the Board of Com missioners of the Housing 'Authority of the City of Raleigh awarded a contract to a Cary firm for re-rooflng Glenwood Towers Apartments, a develop* ment for the elderly. The funds for the I118.3S2 con* tract, awarded to J.C. Edwards, lnc„ have been provided by the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program under the Department of Housing and Ur* ban Development. I The commissioners also apJ proved an option to take right of way easmont to Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. for the upgrade of the telephone lines around the apartments. The new telephone lines will provide bet tor servlde to the general area and provide additional telephone lines to the apartments. This upgrade Is provided by Southern BeU at no cost to the Housing Authority. Glenwood Towers Apartments, owned and managed by the Raleigh Housing Authority, is located at SOS Glenwood Avenue. “We are not going to be a change agent. We’ll leave that to the organizations which are more equip ped to handle that like the NAACP and the Urban League,” she said. The institute was given a $40,000 planning kgrant from Wayne State and the Detroit Renaissance Founda tion. In addition to the state funds, which must earn legislative ap proval, its proponents hope to get ad ditional money from corportions and foundations. Smock said the proposal will cost at least $400,000. Higher Admissions May Trouble Black Campuses CHAPEL HILL (AP)-The Univer sity of North Carolina’s predominant ly black campuses might have trou ble filling their freshman classes when higher admission standards take effect in fall 1990, a UNC report suggests. According to a UNC report released last week, at least four of the state’s five predominantly black universities might be in trouble in 1990 when all UNC campuses have to turn away students who haven’t taken the 12 re quired “core” courses. The purpose of the report, which was mailed last week to principals of each high school in the state, is to let school officials know how to prepare their graduates to gain admission to a UNC campus and do college-level work. Although the report focused on ly on North Carolina students, the higher standards will apply to out-of state students, too. “One of the purposes of giving this letter to the principals is to point out that there still is work to be done,” UNC system president C.D. Spangler, Jr. said. The new minimum standards con sist of 12 courses in “core” college preparatory subjects—four units of English, three units each of mathematics and science, and two units of social studies. The report was based on a study of 45,789 applications filed by North Carolina high school graduates seek ing admission in fall 1988 to a Univer sity of North Carolina campus. Some graduates applied to more than one campus in the UNC system. It shows that at two Occasions 'ommuiiity Florist CORSAGES-FUNERAL DESIGNf—POTTED PLANTS 315 It TCCOWt FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS—ETC. MIErt. N.C. campuses—Fayetteville State University and Winston-Salem State University—more than half of those who applied for admission fell short of the standards. At Elizabeth City State University, 49.4 percent of the 1968 applicants were at least one course short of the 1990 standards. And at N.C. Central University in Durham, the com parable percentage was 39.8. But the report also presented en couraging news for the UNC system as a whole. Of the 26,695 North Carolina high school graduates who applied for fall 1988 admission, 86 percent had taken the 12 courses that will be required in 1990. Most of the deficiencies were in math and science courses. UNC officials decided in 1984 to gradually raise minimum admission standards for all students because of concern over the amount of remedial education that high school graduates needed once they were admitted to a university.
