PRINCETON, N J - A new
program designed to help the
nation's graduate schools seek
out potential students from
minority groups is underway this
fall.
Called the Minority Graduate
Student Locater Service, the
program is offered by
Educational Testing Service.
ETS estimates that about 10,000
to 15,000 students could
initially use the new service
which is offered free to both
students and institutions this
year.
According to J. Bradley
Williams, ETS director of the
project, "One of the problems
facing graduate schools seeking
to increase enrollment of
students from racial and ethnic
minorities is that of identifying
potential students."
NEW FORM WILL HELP
Now , students will have a
chance to voluntarily complete a
Information about the
academic interests and goals of
Black, American-Indian,
Asian-American, and Spanish or
Mexican-American students who
wish to pursue graduate level
education, will be available to
those institutions seeking to
bolster minority enrollment.
Admissions officers may then
contact students directly and
invite the applications of those
whose particular interests could
be served by their schools'
graduate offerings.

Student
Government
Fighting
Bellingham. Wash. (CPS)--
The Washington state attorney
general has advised the
administration of Western
Washington State College to cut
off all spending by the WWSC
student government pending the
results of a law suit against the
school.
The Associated Students filed
suit against the school last June.
The point of contention is
whether or not the AS is an
"arm or agency of the state or a
separate organization." The suit
also asks for clarification of the
campus co-operative bookstore
and for AS to be awarded
control of the $178,000 of the
bookstore reserve fund.
Since the AS budget is
collected by the state, the
WWSC administration considers
it to be "state money" and will
not release the money to an
agency which claims to be a
separate entity.
The administration is "very
desirous to see that student
government is carried on and
activities continue," a WWSC
spokesman said recently, "but in
light of this law suit they find
themselves in a peculiar position,
in that they cannot fund a
corporation separate from the
state."
"The cutting off of our funds
is a pressure that's been hanging
over my head all along," AS
chairman Jim Kennedy said,
"but I'm not going to let it
affect my judgment of what we
may get out of this (the
lawsuit)."
Although Kennedy expects
an out-of-court settlement, he is
not willing to drop the case at
the expense of the students.
Meanwhile, the state attorney
office officials and AS attorney
John Anderson, who is being
retained with a contingency
fund of $2OOO taken from last
year's AS budget, have been
working on a list of stipulations
to be used as a working
agreement.
The legality of Anderson's
salary is also in question--that
of using state funds to sue the
state.
The conflict between AS and
the administration began last
spring when AS claimed
complete control of the
co-operative bookstore and all
its assets, including the
$178,000 reserve fund. The' AS
board of directors dissolved the
bookstore board and established
their own. The administration
told the bookstore manager to
disregard the instructions of the
new board and to follow the
existing board.
The AS created a negotiating
team to come to an agreement
with the administration and
other matters concerning a
revamping of the student
government. The team
maintained that the
administration had nothing to
do with the incorporation of the
AS. AS, they claimed, was
incorporated in the same manner
as the Boy Scouts, the YMCA,
or any other non-profit
organization.
The negotiations came to an
impasse in June when the suit
was filed.
