The campus itself must go out of its way to make minorities feel welcome," Coleman said. "If we don't encourage minorities to attend the U., we won't be able to prepare students to work in a diverse world."

Although breakfast is in 10 minutes, there is plenty of time to get ready. No need to take a shower, decide what to wear, or put on make up. In fact, the girls in A Section at the Youth Detention Center can't do any of these things. Showers are taken in the evening, and make up is rarely allowed. At breakfast, they will all be wearing the same red and black sweat bottoms. The Detention Center is located in South Salt Lake City. The kids at the DC are there for a lot of different reasons. Some for gang activities, others for drugs and some for prostitution. Many are runaways with family problems. While in DC, the kids treat you with indifference. Trust and confidence have to be earned. Although most juveniles are male, girls arc present at approximately ts 15-2- 0 any given time. They range in age from 13 to 17. The average is 14. Juveniles come in for violating curfew or after their arrest In the past, kids were often released after the first night, and could go home until their case was heard in court. But due to pressure from police and surrounding communities, who want them off the streets, they now must stay until their case is put before a judge and a ruling is delivered. Most of the girls will be in DC for about seven to 10 days, with some remaining for as long as seven to eight weeks. One stayed in A Section for over six months while she was on trial for murder, A typical weekday includes meals, school and time in the gym, but even with these activities there are many hours to be filled.

School lasts from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. All UNIVERSITY OF UTAH is taught by six teachers and a principal provided by Granite School District, who work at DC full time. They instruct the girls in English, math, health, geography and gym. For the final period the students can choose to study ethics, computers or art The halls at DC are decorated with many of the creations of the art students. Dave Margulies, a math teacher at the DC school, said finding which subject will interest a particular student is something that has to be discovered day to day. A student's mood and attitude are key factors. A tough morning in court can cause a lot of frustration and a feeling of being misunderstood. "For us, success is often having a kid realize that what they just studied wasn't so bad after all," Margulies said. With school taking up most of the day, evening gives the girls a chance to experience new things and learn skills that will help them on the outside. Members of various organizations come and share what they have learned through life and through their jobs. - last-minut- e p 582-500- 11300 E MON-SUN10AM- 1 SAM -1 and v - sic "Detention on page 4 jw D B ITH THIS COUPON 6E tHI ow any vooMong sub or $.50 off9956" sub 51 One SancrwKh Per Coupon Expires August 24, One Coupon Per Person " - NOT 1 GOOD WITH ANY OTHER PROMOTION UNIVERSITY ST.

(AP) Insisting he is no protecPresident Clinton defended his threat ofjapanese tionist, trade sanctions Tuesday as necessary to pry open foreign markets and protect jobs at home. In Poitland for a regional economic conference, Clinton said that even though the Pacific Northwest already is prospering in foreign trade, Japan's closed markets remain a "major block to developing a sensible global economic policy." "I am not trying to launch a new era of protectionism," Clinton said. "But we have tried now for two or three decades to open this market." Clinton said he hoped negotiators in Geneva would reach an agreement to head off the threatened tariffs on Japanese luxury cars before Wednesday night's deadline. But he added: "The bottom line is we want to open markets for American products and we will take action if necessary in the form of sanctions." Clinton made his case in a region where ports move billions of dollars in both U.S. and Japanese goods and where some people arc uneasy about die potential adverse effects of the tariffs. "I understand that Japanese cars are now made in Oregon and sent back to Japan for resale," Clinton said. He also acknowledged that trade with Asia was a big part of Washington state's economy. But Clinton said that absent a agreement to open Japan's markets, the sanctions were needed to economic growth. ensure long-ter"We hope it will not have an adverse effect in the short run on anyone," he said. There was little discussion of the White House trade policy within the conference hall at Portland State University. But outside, about 200 demonstrators from car dealerships, ports and other businesses that could suffer under the tariffs carried black balloons and signs such as "Trade Sanctions Cost American Jobs" and 'Just Say No to Trade Sanctions." Clinton and Vice President Al Gore convened the daylong Pacific Rim Economic Conference as the second in to a series of regional meetings meant to be a follow-uthe marathon economic summit he held in Arkansas before taking office. In characteristic fashion, the sessions in Poitland extended into overtime and Clinton at midafternoon suggested participants eat their box lunches while continuing the conference, i Clinton said the goal of the sessions was to stay in touch with the ways in which national economic policies Maryland's minority scholarships. The scholarships at Maryland were purposefully designed to remedy the effects of past discrimination, which has never been the objective of the U.'s scholarships. Because of these differences, I think that any federal court outside of the 4th Circuit, particularly with scholarships like ours, would come to a different decision." Morris also said that as long as the U. was in compliance with Federal regulations regarding scholarships it is appropriate for the school to continue its scholarship programs. 22?

"Too often ... the further you get away from the grass roots in America, the more theoretical and the less practical the debates become," he said. He said that while economic growth is improving nationally, "it is not enough to produce impressive numbers. It must be manifest in the lives of the people of America." Clinton ended the day by declaring the conference was "what public life should be about, not the kind of rhetorical and highly partisan divisions that normally come to you across the airwaves from a distant national government." Some 200 business people, working families, academics, economists and others from California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and Alaska gathered for the conference. In three sessions around a semicircular table, they offered the president diverse ideas and concerns. A union leader spoke of die stresses of job insecurity and workers' limiu'd time with their families; an electronics industry executive lamented "weird and-o- r stupid" government regulations; an Indian leader worked in a pitch for continued federal assistance to tribes. Scott Boley, chairman of the Oregon Salmon Fishermen, told Clinton and Gore he had wondered whether the conference participants would be able to communicate with "you aliens from the East Coast," but found all sides eager to find balanced solutions on tough issues such as protecting salmon populations and the fishing industry. Clinton struck the same theme on the difficult environmental issues facing the Pacific Northwest, saying his policies on forestry and salmon fishing were designed to balance economic and environmental needs. He said the Endangered Species Act needed to be reformed to make it less onerous but that those who want to "throw it out the window" were going too far.
