1 The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, September 30, 1981-Pagel Military academies' applications rise 42% NEW YORK (AP) - Freshmen at the nation's five military academies and at top engineering schools withstood stif-. fer competition than. ever in gaining admission this fall, according to a sur- vey of leading colleges and universities. The number of applicants for this fall's freshman classes at West Point, the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy rose 42 percent over a year ago - from 31,695 to 45,128, according to the survey by Peterson's Guides, Inc., a Princeton, N.J. publisher of educational referen- ces. THE ACADEMIES accepted only 14 percent of 1981 applicants - making them nearly twice as tough to get into as Ivy League schools, which accepted 26 percent of applicants. About 80 per- cent of those accepted actually entered the academies this fall, compared with the typical school average of about 50 percent. "All five academies are completely free, and with all the current talk about the high cost of college education, more and more families see the academies as an excellent¢ alternative," said publisher Peter Hegener in an inter- view. "Second, there aren't any wars right now, and academies offer the oppor- tunity for immediate employment after graduation. And finally, with the new conservatism, the current sense is it's OK to be a military officer," said Hegener: THE SURVEY looked at application trends at 182 of the nation's most com- petitive public and private universities. A total of 788,695 students applied to those top schools, up six percent from 732,945 a year earlier. A total of 146,331 were accepted, up just one percent from 144,852 in 1980. Of the 182 schools surveyed, 133 had an increase in applicants, 48 had a decrease and one had no change. The average increase at top schools was 300. Three of the most competitive engineering schools - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California In- stitute of Technology, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - received an average of nine percent more ap- plications for this fall than a year ago. mmmkvmmmmmmmw Invastion of the hydrants AP These fire hydrants reclining next to the Chemistry building are part of a $69,000 project to replace and improve the University's underground hydrant system. Officials say the new system should be in place within two weeks, replacing the old system which didn't work for many years. Though human members of the University may well ignore the new hydrants popping up all over the Diag, canine members have expressed interest in the project.

Poorest countries " to receive less aid WASHINGTON (UPI)- Because the United States has scaled back its con- tribution for international aid to the world's, poorest nations, 32 other donors countries decided yesterday they have the right to do the same. The action could mean the Inter- national Development Association, the branch of the World Bank that lends to the lowest-income countries, will have only three-quarters of the money this fiscal year that it expected. ACCORDING TO several informed sources, the decision was made in a closed meeting of IDA donors-on the same day President Reagan addressed the annual meeting of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. assuring them of continued U.S. sup- port. Reagan, World Bank President A.W. Clausen and IMF managing director Jacques de Larosiere struck a common theme in speeches to the annual meeting-that developing countries will progress only if both rich and poor nations undertake basic economic reforms. Their message was that the key to development is not vast sums of aid, but "adjustment" of national economies. THE REASON for their stand was plain. World inflation, stagnation in in- dustrial countries and high interest rates threaten to slow the development of poor countries. But those same for- ces are also making rich nations less willing to give financial aid. Last year 33 nations, including the United States, agreed to provide $12 billion to operate IDA during 1981-83. The U.S. share was $3.24 billion, or 27 percent, which was to be paid in three installments of $1.08 billion. But when Congress approved the U.S. contribution last summer it stretched the payments out, providing $500 million in 1981, $850 million in'1982 and $1.85 billion in 1983. At their meeting yesterday, sources said, the IDA donors agreed they now have the right to scale back their con- tributions for 1982. ...... . . .... . .... ...... ..... . . :t. :.. . . . ..:::::::.:.:.v: ... n:...*........ ............. ............... . ....................::..................*.*........ . . . . . ..: n...... . ..n .......:::i..:. .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...... ............ ..... ..... . ... ..::.. ...v... . . . . . . ..:}.. .}: :":.. . . . . ..4}} Yr.. 4.~~~~~~~~~~~~. . . . .. .. n.:.... . . ...... . ....... . ....v.r.........}....v.....l....... ..t1.L ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. t.. ..... .h. . ............. .,..r .... . ...............,... .. ....r..t... n ...:i4:"} Interested in Journalism but sick of Ibte ?faiVg?
