Residents are also looking into the possibility of signing leases on a con- ditional basis, dependent on the action College of Pharmacy, The University College of Pharmacy announced the receipt of an endowment grant of $150,000 from the Warner- Lambert Foundation of Morris Plains, N.J. Income from the gift will support Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Grad- uate Student Fellowships in the College. In announcing the gift, University Pharmacy Dean Dr. Ara Paul stated "there is an increasing need to recognize distinction within our cadre of doctoral students who have traditionally gone on after graduation to distinguish themselves as scientists in universities and industrial research received grant laboratories. The establishment of the Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Fellow- ship fund will provide us the oppor- tunity to reward excellence in scholar- ship." He also noted that graduate students play an important role in the research efforts in the College directed at creating new and better drugs and in understanding factors in the body which affect circulation and absorption of drugs. Major areas of pharmacy faculty research include cardiac disease, ar- terioscleroisis, cancer, infectious diseases, fertility and dental caries. of the governors. ONE WOMAN complained, "They are forcing us to live under circum- stances even our parents wouldn't require." "The Board of Governors hasn't even studied the impact of all this," another student stated. "People are just going to keep the guys in their rooms and sneak them out when they are finished." She explained that under the new rule a resident will be unable to continue studying with a male visitor after hours without express permission from the building director. "Now people are discreet and rules are getting broken, but next year will be more blatant," said another student, warning that women will now be more encouraged to violate visitation hours. MEMBERS OF the three-member Board of Governors said they were unaware of student sentiment regar- ding the ruling. "Nobody has let me. know," said Cook. "If they were that unhappy, I would have received let- ters . . . this is the first I've heard." When informed that some of the women were upset because even though they. objected to the new rules, they had no place else to live, Cook suggested, "Maybe they should look elsewhere." The Board dhairwoman admitted, however, that she wasn't familiar with the housing problem in Ann Arbor. BOARD MEMBER Joan Iwasko said, "No one has to live there, but there are some people who prefer this type of life. I really know very little about all this," she added. Residents reaffirmed their objection to the Governors' ruling in a survey conducted by the dormitory's House Board. The survey was answered by 102 of the 153 residents and, 97 of those ob- jected to the governors' decision. Sixty- three indicated that the ruling would in- fluence their decision to return to Mar- tha Cook in the fall, while 36 reported it would not influence them. Despite the Governors' concern for the security of the building and residen- ts, 96 of the women did not feel that reducing male visitation hours on the main and basement floors would end security problems. Five women voted that it would solve the security problem. The woman who tallied the survey reported, "It shows overwhelming ob- jection to the decision. People are now aware of the problem, and rumors are flying." The House Board plans to send the results of the survey, along with some student comments, to the Board of Governors. Daily Class ifieds Bring Results St. Patrick's Day celebrators take to the streets (Continued from Page 1) Ray Grace, a postgraduate law student and Ireland native, compared the American celebration to events in his own country. "In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is not celebrated to the same extent, there's nothing osten- tatious," Grace said. He added that the Irish celebration has a "definite religious connotation," instead of a more secular observance, as in the U.S. The Ann Arbor Police Department noted the event and as the parade proceeded down State St., a squad car pulled up and two officers got out. "Try to stay off the streets," one officer said. "And have a riot," he added with a grin. THE PARADE eventually adjourned to Dooley's, where the participants par- took of traditional green beer. "We managed to harangue one free pitcher from them," McDoogle said. According to Dooley's manager Jim Mills, "We can make anything green." Mills said there were "free green pep- pers on the pizza today," in honor of the holiday. "I've doubled my staff just for today," Mills said, indicating that he expected some rowdy customers. He added that he did have some problems last night. Yesterday the crowd at Dooley's, many of them watching the Arkansas-Indiana State game on a wall screen, appeared to be reasonably sedate, although there was talk of several parties planned for the evening. McDoogle said he was planning to repeat the parade next year. "I have a job in Brighton, so I'll be around, and we're shooting for it;" he said. Law, Med School application takes cash (Continued from Page 1) minimal. The re-take will be counted alone only if the score is over 100 points higher than that of the initial exam. There are 800 points possible on these tests. Another costly variable involved in students' scores is the preparation in- vested before the test. Many students spend up to $325 on preparation courses such as those directed by the nation- wide Stanley Kaplan program in an ef- fort to beef up their scores. According to Career Planning and Placement pre-professional counselor Louis Rice, these courses prove beneficial for some students, but not others. Rice emphasizes that the key to studying for the tests is to study, and he notes that these courses' claim to im- prove scores may rest not so much on the special services they offer but on the amount of time the student spends preparing for the course itself. SAYS RICE, "Stanley Kaplan theoretically expects 900 to 1,000 hours in preparation. Any student who spent that amount of time would be quite likely to improve his chances whether through a commercial not." program or Formidable costs really begin to mount with the professional school ap- plications themselves - priced bet- ween $15 and $30 each - with the average applicant filling out about ten. In fact, each year a few University students apply to over fifty schools. Counselor Rice notes "it is only a rare exception when a student gets into a school by a 'fluke' - being accepted as a result of having applied to a multitude of possible schools." Fee waivers can be requested but are difficult to obtain except in "cases of extreme personal hardship." RICE ADDS that "a large number of applications by a student most often in- dicates poor research into school profiles and one's chances of getting in. A student might apply to forty medical schools and be accepted by five of them - but he could've most likely been ac- cepted to those same five if he had ap- plied to ten carefully selected schools." Many students don't feel this way, however. One LSA senior - who asked to be unnamed - applying to over 25 medical schools, stated, "The ad- missions process is really a hit-or-miss process, so I figured I'd increase my chances by applying to as many schools as possible. It's like playing '21' - the more hands you play, the greater your odds of getting a blackjack." One might wonder if the admissions officers of different schools check with each other to discover if a student is applying indiscriminately to a large number of schools - but this does not seem to be the case. Career counselor Rice states that, "There is no evidence that schools cross-check with one another. Each school tends to look for strong reasons which an applicant has for applying to that particular school." IT IS UNCERTAIN whether students who can afford to reapply to the schools from which they were rejected would have an advantage over first-time ap- plicants. One University Law School of- ficial, who refused to identify herself, says the law school does not follow any specific guidelines regarding re- applications. She added, however, that the admissions officer decides whether a candidate will benefit or suffer from a second rejection. The official also said there is only a small percentage of re-applications ac- cepted, but that this percentage may not differ from that of first-time ap- plication acceptances. The final factor in the admissions process that might give an advantage to the financially well-off applicants is the interview. Visiting schools for in- terviews can quickly become a costly affair. THE ITINERARY goes something like this: first, an applicant must pur- chase the proper attire - a suit for men, a dress or nice slacks for women - then plunk down the bucks for tran- sportation - airfare in many cases - and finally, pay for food and lodging in the city in which the interview is taking place. The total easily runs a few hun dred dollars. The cost of visiting schools is clearly harder for those students less finan- cially able, though the importance of the interview is not always so great in the admissions decision. In general, ac- cording to Career Planning and Placement's Rice, medical schools place a fairly high degree of significan- ce on applicant interviews, whereas law schools do not. Many law schools, such as Yale and Duke, advise that an interview is not required unless to discus's "extraor- dinary circumstances that cannot be described in writing." The University Law School recommends interviews in some cases, depending on the par- ticular qualifications of the candidate. Medical schools generally consider a personal interview almost a prerequisite to admission, though many provide the candidate, with the oppor- tunity to undergo a regional interview with an alumni representative. Because the admissions process is secretive, and also because students' don't want to make waves with of- ficials, it's hard to find persons willing to say money is in fact a decisive factor in admissions. But having it to spend can't hurt.
