Are these offers too good to be true? By KATHLYN HOOVER More than $135 million in college scholar- ships goes unclaimed each year, accor- ding to scholarship locator services around the country. With their help you can find some of it. Sound too good to be true? University and federal financial aid officials think- so, FOR FEES ranging from $45 to $60, students subscribers fill out data forms with family background information. @rcator companies, using computers, then match students with appropriate sources. There are 250,000 sources of non- governmental aid available, said Bob Freede founder of Scholarship Search in New York. His company and similar firms guarantee students a certain number of scholarship sources or promise to return the initial fee. But there is no guarantee that studen- ts will find money.' EVEN THOUGH company represen- tatives contend their locator services are well worth the fee, financial aid of- ficials say the scholarship searches are a gamble. Financial aid officials said they usually do not recommend scholarship searches to students for three reasons: the information is available free, the typical student usually does not qualify for these hard-to-find funds, and the companies' literature is misleading. "They send me a lot of their literature and I toss it in the garbage," said Harvey Grotrian, University Financial Aid Director. He said he would not want a frustrated student to see the information posted and resort to what most often is a futile search. RISHA Rothberger, founder of Student Financial and Guidance Ser- vices in Southfield, said she believes financial aid counselors are in- timidated by companies such as hers. "I had one tell me that she may someday lose her job if our services are successful." she said. Rotherberger's company, established six months ago, is still too new to know how successful it is, she said. Freede said 40 percent of those who responded to a survey he conduc- ted however, actually received some money. Ed Rosenwasser, founder of Student College Aid in Houston, said he claimed at one time, a 40 percent suc- cess rate. Now he is not so sure, since only a few people responded to his most recent survey. Financial aid officials meanwhile, said they do not believe that many stuf- dents actually end up with any money. "These funds are the hard-to- find ones, but if you have a real dramatic background, perhaps with in- ternational ties, you may be eligible for some,"said Lee Peterson, financial See ARE, Page 9 1 the G .,pmen °L ^ The Pr ,,, r nr.,! 7vnn v - Ninety-Two Years of Editorial Freedom \J' P LIE ian li4iI LAST CHANCE A high of 70 today.

S _____________________________________________ Ufer receives tribute from his beloved Meeechigan By GREG DeGULIS More than 1,000 friends and well-wishers made the pilgrimage to Crisler Arena last night to pay homage to the late Michigan football broadcaster Bob Ufer. The public memorial service, designed to accommodate the large numbers of Ufer supporters unable to attend yesterday's closed funeral services, included speeches by Rev. Terry Smith of the First Congregational Church, Bob Ufer Jr., and Wolverine football coach Bo Schembechler. The Michigan Marching Band and a videotape of a Ufer pep rally were also part of the memorial service. THE SERVICE began with a short speech by Rev. Smith of-Ufer's First Congregational Church. "We are gathered tonight to honor Bob Ufer in a more personal way," Smith said. "We are here because Bob Ufer, in some way, touched our lives." Bob Ufer Jr. then addressed the crowd from the podium, which was decorated with yellow flowers and a block 'M' flag. The broadcaster's son recalled a few moments in which his father was truly touched by the kin- dness of others. "Bob Ufer will never forget the game ball he was awar- ded after the Notre Dame game," Ufer said. The Iowa halftime tribute performed by the Michigan Band was also mentioned as a special occasion in Ufer's life. After the broadcaster realized that the band was arranging itself to spell 'Ufer' on the field, "Dad fell silent. It wasn't often that Bob Ufer fell silent on a football- Saturday," his son said. Schembechler also took to the podium to address friends See FANS, Page 12 Israel shows restrained reaction to AWACS vote Daily Photo by JAMIE BE LL BO SCHEMBECHLER praises Michigan broadcaster Bob Ufer during last night's memorial tribute held in Crisler Arena. Ufer, who died of cancer on Monday, was buried yesterday afternoon. Faculty to get involved in budget WASHINGTON - President Reagan and his top aides, still basking in the glow of the Senate victory on the Saudi AWACS sale, worked yesterday to reassure a worried Israel and press ahead in the Middle East peace process. Israel reacted with restraint yester- day to U.S. Senate approval of the Saudi Arabian arms sale and said it expects Reagan to ensure the Jewish state's security. Saudi rulers expressed "deep gratitude" and said relations with America will improve. THERE WAS NO comment from West European allies, and most Arab states were silent. The Soviets claimed the $8.5 billion package, which includes the world's most sophisticated spy planes, will spur a new Mideast arms race and is part of a U.S. preparation for possible seizure of the region's oil fields. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, in a statement devoid of har- shness, indicated he expected Reagan to hold to his pledge to "help Israel retain its military and technoligical ad- vantages in the Middle East." Reagan made the assurance in a note after the Senate voted 52-48 Wednesday night to approve the sale, the largest single U.S. arms export package ever. Begin read the Reagan note and then told reporters: "We hope that these words of the president will be carried into realization." THE OFFICIAL Cabinet statement expressed its "regret" over the sale to Saudi Arabia, "which is in a state of war with Israel, rejects the Camp David accords and finances terror in our region. A new and serious danger now faces Israel - new since the restoration of our statehood." Reagan's national security adviser Richard Allen, in a television interview yesterday said,"I think it (the sale) will lend significant momentum to his movement toward peace." Allen also bolstered speculation that more'U.S. aid to the Jewish state may flow from the Saudi deal - a call also heard in Congress. "WE HAVE NO specific plans," he said. But based on "new levels" of cooperation between United States and Israel, Allen said he anticipates "ad- ditional sales of some type of equip- ment." The president, in wooing the Senate, argued that selling the sophisticated Air- borne Warning and Control Systems planes to the oil-rich monarchy would give America more influence in Riyadh. House Democratic leader Jim Wright of Texas said yesterday he hopes Reagan will be able to leap through the "window of opportunity" the Senate vote opened. "IF HE IS willing to use this as a means of pressing the Saudis to join the peace process, it would be the most wonderful thing in the world," Wright said. But Sheik Faisal Alehelan, Saudi See AWACS, Page 8 By ANDREW CHAPMAN The Budget Priorities Committee is painfully aware of the awful climate in which it is operating, Mary Ann Swain, committee chairwoman, said yester- day Swain told a local chapter meeting of the American Association of University Professors at the Michigan League that the Budget Priorities Committee has decided that if the University wants to increase the size of any unit within its confines it will have to cut into other units to pay for it. "THE UNIVERSITY'S budget has not grown at the rate of inflation," Swain explained. Swain, a University nursing school professor, said the Budget Priorities Committee is trying to find an effective way to participate in the University's budget planning and will take an active he University's budget has not grown at the rate of inflation.' -Mary Ann Swain Budget priorities committee chairwoman role in solving budget problems in the future. One of the major problems facing the committee, Swain said, is that the University operates on a decentralized and at the same time centralized basis, making information hard to ac- cumulate. SWAIN ALSO told those present at the AAUP meeting that there was little hope that the University will get ad- ditional discretionary funds to deal with its current budget crisis. The committee will attempt to act on problems mentioned by Bill Frye, vice president for academic affairs, at the September Senate Assembly meeting, Swain said. Swain said the problems Frye men- tioned, and which the BPC would try to prioritize, were the need to increase faculty salaries, the need for better student financial aid support systems, the need to provide better incentives for research, and the need to replace in- creasingly limited discretionary funds. ANOTHER MAJOR issue that must be faced by therbudget committee is the extent of faculty discussion in possible future University retrenchment programs, Swain said. She explained that if the ad- ministration decides to save large "chunks" of money, program cuts of sizeable amounts will have to make up that sum. Swain also said the faculty should at- tempt to discuss what is and what is not "central" to the University. The ad- ministration has emphasized the im- portance of "centrality" in considering program reductions. The Budget Priorities Committee.ad- vises the University administration on budget decisions and is comprised of faculty, administrators and student members. Begin ... expects continued support TODAY No more dead cats A 1982 CAT HATER's Calendar that features color photos of cats being hanged and wrapped in foil on a grill that has been withdrawn by its publisher following outcries by animal lovers and and priced at $4.95, had prompted a call for a national boycott by the American Humane Association. "We're op- posed to that kind of sick humor," said Martin Passaglia Jr., executive director of the association in Denver. "That is contrary to everything we stand for. That hardly represents the humane ethic." Edgar would not comment on whether the outcry by animal lovers played a role in halting its distribution. However, he said the animals were not mistreated during the photographing sessions. "Not one cat was hurt. In fact, the cat featured in several of these photographs is the personal pet of a close friend of the ..i,.f - .ai ,a ..Wriar um. 6Tho .AtAt hnli.gPPmad M n-. money's locked in the safe," the attendant, Benjamin Misan, 24, told the would-be robber. "Oh, nuts!" the robber said and turned to go. Misan then picked up a can of oil and hurled it at the robber but missed. The robber then turned and fired a shot as Misan, which also missed. The robber muttered something else and fled. Misan summoned police. "Got any idea who the robber was?"' police asked. "No, but that's his car over there," Misan said. "He forgot it." Police checked the car and found out it was registered to Kallio. A child support notice found in Kallico's car listed his mother's address. Police went to the mother's home and found allio.is _38-cmalibrr evoliver was confiscated and "I guess they got caught up in the campaign." Sgt. John Hook of the Southfield police said Fracassi's sons David, 19, and Roddy, 15, were stopped by police Monday night wih four of Lantz's signs in their car. "The youths said they took the signs as a prank," Hood said. A representative forLantz said he would not press charges. Fracassi, a nine-year in- cumbent, finished first with 37 percent of the votes in the September primary election. Lantz finished second out of five candidates with 16 percent. I E " I 1 , I
