4-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN I Tuesday, March 2, 1976 Students increase awareness of death (Continued from Page 1) Some survivors, according to Davis, retain these feelings and need help in easing this burden. Tr release these feelings, Davis has her students Imagine explaining their feelings to the deceased. Then they switch places with the "visitor" and Imagine how the deceased would respond. Generally, said the Instructor, they And the deceased would be forgiving. To make the students more comfortable with the subject of death, Davis had them break up into groups and relate to each other an experience they have had with death for which they were unprepared. She also had them write down all the common expressions with some form of the word "death" in them, She seemed surprised at the number ol expressions the students produced. Next, the students wrote down all the euphemisms of "death" they could think of, to avoid use of the word. Using "death" Is Indicative ol a negative outlook on life, Davis said.

In the fall of 1971, when the resent EOP administration as- ■d Its responsibilities, it Im mediately established two major objectives. Thoseobjectives We to stabilize the program and define its role U> make EOP an Integral part of the campus and community; and to establish effective professional-quality support services. According to Manuel Perez these objectives have been and are being consistently pursued. The Summer Institute Is one of EOP's most valued supportive services. The Institute Is an orientation program that Is held - each summer before the fall semester. The program's alrosare to acquaint incoming EOP students with the campus. Perez said that the campus is an 'alien world* to most minority stu dents. The Institute gives minority students an opportunity to ad- Just to the campus before the Students who attend the Institute live on campus and attend special classes,, and they are taught skills that are vital to their survival on campus. The program was originally held for four to six weeks during the latter part ol the summer, but last summer's program was the shortest ever. The rising cost of food and lodging reduced the Institute to only two weeks. However, this year the administration, according to Perez, has committed itself to pay the wages of the instructors. This will alle viate the rising costs In other areas. Perez says that the administration's willingness to pay the instructors' wages indicates that they realize the value of the program. The success of theSummerInstitute can easily be seen when comparing the EOP students who attended the Institute with those who didn't. According to Perez, the most significant differences between the two groups are that the student who attended the Institute attempted an average of one unit more per student. They pSO passed nearly two units .jqore, and they received an average of 2.5 grade points more than the students who did not attend the program. The number of students who can enroll through EOP Is sealed at 2 per cent of the total number of students who transfer from Junior college and who are first semester freshmen. This quota keeps a tight lid on the number of EOP students. However, EOP is able to get more than the 2 per cent limitation into college because the program attracts many students who are eligible for regular admission, but would not nave applied if they were not recruited by EOP.

She ited that one example of ln- onslstency was when a department hired a candidate with only a HA degree when she had been tlons to Insure a consistency In selection and hiring. Ms. Gomez' major problem Is that she Is not being Informed by some department heads before the Job announcements are pre- parecnTfjTherefore, she has been unable to participate fully In the formulation of the Job announcement so that she could more effectively see that minorities are given an equal opportunity to be selected. She said that she has received many Job announcements to sign that she was not Informed about and therefore did not participate In developing the Job requirements. She said that she has no authority over the department heads, and It is their irresponsibility that has made Affirmative Action programs necessary to give minorities an equal opportunity to be hired. Despite her problems, Ms.Gomez Is still optimistic about being able to effect the hiring of more minority, and women candidates. She has already expanded the mailing list of Job announcements to Include Southern and Southwestern schools In an attempt to encompass those areas and inform eligible persons of employment opportunities.

He said that the financial deficits evolved from the many difficulties Imposed on the Nation under the leadership of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad by the United States government, and from the lack of persons qualified inlarge-scalebuslnessman- agement. In one particular year, the Nation paid over $480,000 In taxes despite the fact that It received no supplemental aid from .'he U.S. government. There was also the unveiling of a new national flag consisting of a gold and green colored Holy Qu'ran centered on a red background. The former flag had fea tured an emblem of the crescent moon and star also on a red background.
