State assures CMU
it will cover costs
of flood damages
BY WAYNE KAM1DOI
UFE Ed. tor	
University officials received a
shot in the arm Friday, as state
leaders assured financial backing
for multi-million-dollar flood
damage to campus electrical and
computer systems.
'Gov. (James) Blanchard has
given the assurance to
administration, faculty and
students they will not be responsible for paying for any of the
damages," State Budget Director
James Naftaly said Friday.
Also, the state has agreed to
fund and coordinate a study of the
University's vulnerable electrical
system, upon the request of President Arthur Ellis.
Naftaly, accompanied by two
members of Blanchard's stafT,
toured the basement of Foust Hall
to assess water damage incurred
to the University's computer
equipment.
"We will pick up (the University's) share of the looses. We made
sure we can provide* state funds,
where the federal government
can't pick up." Naftaly said.
The University is eligible to
receive up to 75 percent in
federal-government aid for the
estimated $3.5-million flood
damage. Naftaly said.
Fllis said Friday tlie University
"couldn't have asked for more."
"My interpretation was the
state will take care of our portion
to prevent any disruptions to the
budget," Kllis said. "Tho University will not suffer economic consequences because of the storm."
Before any governmental grants
are received, the University must
go through a lengthy process to
determine a true damage
estimate. Ellis said.

Administration  received
The School ot Business Administration received
the largest e\ .r single grant given to the University
by a major corporation, a spokesman from the
Development    and    Alumni    delations   office   said
"The significance of (the grant) and real impart is
that faculty and leadership in the school is l>oing
recognired." Falk said
The money will aid the business school in
replacing about "90 percent" of the old Lib equipment, and in purchasing an IBM 3l> mimniinputer
for future networking, said I-eonard Plachta. dean of
the  School of Business.
"The money will l>e used to re\ itali/e the lab. ,m.l
give us equipment in a more mod. rn way." I'l.i. hta
said
Working at (!MU since 1972 arid entering a dr.in
of the college for Ills eighth year, I'larht.i .-aid the
grant should Ih* the beginning of "bigger and belter"
things
Plachta said he speculates other corporations will
follow the lead Chrysler has started, which means
more money for the school and the University.
"Frankly, our business school has been somewhat
of a secret, and we're coming out of nowhere (with
this grant as recognition!," Plachta said. "Basically,
I'm very pleased as dean that an important
corporation in Michigan has recognized the quality
of students we have here."

Bucking the odds
Student goes against collegiate norm — keeps her baby, finishes degree
BY RUTH VIOLANTE
LiFF \\.,:: .V :.■■
In her tank top and black shorts, Felicia Hubbell
looks like any other CMU student. Her blonde hair
is casually pulled back, and she looks like her only
concerns are tomorrow's tests and next weekend's
football game.
Yet ><x>ri her J year-old son Wesley Iregins pulling
on her hand   clamoring for attention.
HuMh'I!. a Detroit senior, became pregnant in her
junior year at Central
"I was really shocked at first, and so were my
friends. Thev couldn't l>elieve I could l>e so stupid,"
Hubbell said.
Hubbell said she and her then-Unfriend decide-
to get married. She left CMU for two years, and then
came   back   in   19.*v>   to   finish   with   a   degree   in
therapeutic recreation.
Although Hubbell and her boyfriend decided to
get married, for many students who become
pregnant marriage is not an option, she -aid
"I really (relieve that only about one in all girls
would decide to do what I did," she said
Jerry Strouse, professor of health education and
science, said high schoolers have more problems
dealing with unwanted pregnancies than college
students.
"Over a million teenagers become pregnant each
year. It's a major problem, although I don't thi nk it's
as big a problem in college as it is in high school."
said Strouse, who currently is studving i.i-r- of
unwanted pregnancies
Strouse said college students who become
pregnant are more likely lo ha\e an abortion
because   they   have   career   aspirations   and    an*
investing in their education.
"The more educated, the more affluent a woman
is. tlie more likely they are to be more cautious." he
s.nd
What other women do is based on their personal
feelings and relationship with the baby's father, but
on a college campus the decision is complicated by
school pressures, John Bell. Saxe resident assisant,
said
"The tradition of the shot gun wedding is a thing
<>{ the past When a student becomes pregnant she
has to think about school and all its pressures." Bell,
Kiverview senior, said.
Bell has lived in Saxe three years and said he has
never known a student to quit school because she
was pregnant   He said the stigma attached to being
