Minorities unite to combat prejudice
by TOM HENRY
LIFE Asst. News Editor
CMU minorities have given
each other a helping hand by
symbolically uniting with one
clenched fist.
The Coalition for Student
Unification officially was
recognized by the Office of
Student Affairs as a campus
organization Thursday, paving
the way for minorities to have
their voices heard in unison:
The move is an attempt to
break down racial, ethnic and
sexual prejudices the group
alleges are rampant throughout
the University.
"The coalition was formed in
regard to the basic ignoring of
problems with minorities," its
organizer Joe Morgan said. "For
example, there's a large problem
with retention," he added.
Morgan, Detroit senior, said
the group hopes to retain more
minorities at CMU by promoting
an awareness of their needs,
"We hope to create a social
panorama of cultural events all
year around and bring in
speakers    and    entertainment
which we can relate to," he said,
adding he feels groups
responsible for' such activities
are overlooking minorities.
-The coalition includes
members from the Organization
for Blackv Unity, the Chicanes
Organized for Progress and
Action, Gay Liberation, the
Women's Health and Information Project,  the Public
Interest Research Group In
Michigan, Project Alpha and
Native American, Arab and
Iranian students.
Another coalition member,
Sophie Triplett, said the group
was formed because of "the
hostilities we are facing."
"I have run into a lot of things
that make me not even want to
come back next year," Triplett,
Pontiac junior, told Student
Association's Board of Directors
at its meeting Wednesday.
Following Triplett's comments, SA's Ethnic Minority
Relations Department Chairman
Delvin Williams explained,
"Before (the University) can
push for increased minority
enrollment, (it) must retain the

Speaking to a full house, Cyrus Elshi talked about the
Iranian situation. Wednesday in Anspach 162. During a
question and answer period Elahi was confronted with
charges from students that the full story wasn't being
told.
Speaker: Shah ignored his people
by SUE GLENN
LIFE Staff Writer
Iran's step into the 20th century was more of a stumble because
the shah's regime did not consider the country's 19th century
traditions, a former Iranian government adviser said.
Cyrus Elahi, a former CMU professor and one-time adviser to the
Minister of Education and Science under the shah, discussed the
causes and consequences of the Iranian revolution to a standing-
room-only crowd of more than 250 people Wednesday night in
Anspach 162.
"The Iranian situation is a textbook case of a modernization
program that made all the classic errors," Elahi said. "They were
concerned about society but they ignored the people."
Some people in the audience, however, accused Elahi of
misrepresenting the issue, saying foreign intervention, primarily
from the United States, caused problems.
Elahi disagreed with their theory, saying no country could have
kept the shah in power for 25 years.
"The CIA could bring him there but they could not keep him there
for 25 years," Elahi said. "Let's not oversimplify this."
A Middle-Eastern student then questioned Elahi's loyalty to Iran,
saying he should be there trying to help his country rather than
lecturing in America.
Elahi cited religious and personal matters as major factors in his
decision to return to the United States, saying he could do more
good here.
Then, an American student said he was grateful for Elahi's
presentation and asked why the Iranian students themselves were
here, rather than in Iran fighting for their cause.
And the Iranian cause has had a rough time in the last three
decades, Elahi said. He said the shah's regime wanted to turn Iran

CMU gives Marshall Tucker dills, but few frills
by LISA ADAMS
LIFE Staff Writer
Some people will pay any price to see their favorite band in
concert.
But when, ticket prices are $8.50, $9, or $10, doesn't it make you
wonder where the money goes?
One place it won't be going for Saturday's Marshall Tucker Band
concert is for alcohol, due to stipulations in the main contract
stating alcohol "shall not be consumed of served" on campus during
the concert.
Although requested in its contract "rider," the Marshall Tucker
rock cowboys won't be receiving from the University Michelob beer,
Chivas Regal scotch,'Smirnoff vodka or any other alcohol they
requested.
A "rider" is an amendment to the contract made between a
performer—such as the Marshall Tucker Band—and the purchaser,
in this case, the University.'
For example, a jar of mayonnaise, four, plastic garbage bags, a
forklift, .stagehands and one deli tray for ten people are just a few'of
the expenses incorporated into the Marshall Tucker Band concert
rider.
The rider describes in detail such minute contract provisions as to
