Merit scholarships escape cuts
By MIKE McINTYRE
Federal cutbacks in the Pell Grant program may
have caused University students to lose as much as
$400,000 in need-based aid for the 1981-82 year, but the
University's merit-based scholarship programs were
notaffected, according to Harvey Grotrian, director
of the Office of Financial Aid.
Explaining that his office sends separate proposals
for merit and need related funds to the University
administration each year, Grotrian said decisions
regarding amounts of need-based financial aid have
virtually no impact on whether scholarship programs
are continued and at what level awards are made.
"THEY (scholarships) are affected by our
satisfaction with the recruitment of highly qualified
scholars," Grotrian said.
This year, $500,000 was earmarked for the scholar-
ship programs. Approximately $400,000 came from
the University's general fund, with alumni donations
comprising the remaining $100,000.
Currently there are four types of scholarships-
two for Michigan residents and two for residents of
other states-that are awarded to qualified, entering
undergraduates. Potential candidates are indentified
from information contained in their admissions ap-
plication, and subsequent alumni or faculty inter-
views generally are required.
A ONE-TIME $500 Regents-Alumni Scholarship is
awarded each year to 230 Michigan high school
graduates. In addition, Michigan Public Com-
munity/Junior College Recognition Awards of $500
are offered yearly to the two top students from each
state community college.
Non-resident programs * include Academic
Recognition Scholarships, which are awarded an-
nually to 200 freshpersons and carry a one-time
stipend of $1,500. Michigan Annual Giving Scholar-
ships of $500 each are also presented each year to 130
entering non-resident freshpersons.
According to Grotrian, the typical recipient of a
University scholarship is someone who is "knocking
right at the top of the SAT scoreboard. Basically,
these students can go to any school they want,"
Grotrian said.
ONCE ENROLLED, continuing undergraduates
may become eligible for scholarships offered by the
different schools and colleges within the University.
Even though the number and amount of scholar-
ships offered each year depend on the University's
financi4 health, Grotrian said the situation would
have to be very bleak before merit scholarship
programs were cut back.
Because the University strives for an ideal mix of
students from various ethnic, economic and
academic backgrounds, Grotrian said, it would be
difficult to decide how merit and need-based
programs should be reduced in the event of severe
financial constraints.
"From what I know of other Big 'en institutions, as
well as peer universities, we've got one of the best
combinations of academic recognition and need-,
based grants," Grotrian said.

Poland backs out on settlement
for Solidarity wildcat strike
WARSAW, Poland - Provincial authorities balked yesterday ratifying
an agreement to end Poland's biggest regional strike since the independent
labor movement Solidarity was formed 14 months ago, a union spokesman
said.
The tentative bargain would have ended a 19-day wildcat strike by 160,000
workers in Zielona Gora that has affected nearly every walk of life in the far-
ming province230 miles west of Warsaw.
Solidarity's spokesman in Zielona Gora, Marion Podsada, said a tentative
settlement to the wildcat strike had been hammered out in a "grueling" all-
night session that ended early yesterday.
But he said provincial authorities failed to appear at the appointed hour to
ratify the agreement, and were trying to "to torpedo the deal" by reopening'
bargaining on vital portions of the accord.
At Solidarity's national headquarters in Gdansk, meanwhile, union leader
Lech Walesa and other ranking Solidarity officials drafted a six point agen-
da for talks with the government about Poland's economic dnd social ills.
1,000 U.S. troops arrive
in Egypt for war games
CAIRO, Egypt- The first 1,000 troops from the U.S. Rapid Deployment
Force flew into Egypt yesterday for two weeks of joint war games under=
scoring America's determination to protect the Middle East and Persian
Gulf states from Soviet threats.
U.S military officials said operation "Bright Star 82" will involve a total of
about 6,000 American troops in maneuvers in Sudan, Somalia and Oman as
well as Egypt.
The officials said about 1,000 U.S. troops arrived aboard giant C-141 and C-
5A military transport planes at Cairo West airfield, 20 miles northwest of the
capital. Another 3,000 troops will arrive during the next three days.
The joint military exerci e-with Egypt was planned well before President'
Anwar Sadat's assassination Oct. 6 but it took-on new significance in view of
U.S. pledges to help defend the Middle East and oil-rich Gulf regions against
Soviet actions.
Shuttle countdown starts agamn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space officials gave the go-ahead yesterday
for a second, abbreviated countdown to start, this morning leading to the
shuttle Columbia's curtain call flight.
The clock is to start at 8 a.m. EST, aiming for a 7:30 a.m. Thursday launch
of the first spaceship ever to take a repeat trip in orbit.
The first count got to within 31 seconds of liftoff last Wednesday, only to be
blocked by clogged filters in to of Columbia's three auxiliary power units.

JACKSON (UPI) - Jackson County
health officials, who had already con-
firmed at least five cases of typhoid
fever, were attempting to locate more
than 300 other persons who may have
contracted the rare disease.
Delores Ray, Jackson County Health
Department Director of Nursing, said
the cause of the disease was traced to
contaminated food at a United ,Way
luncheon at a local Moose Hall on Oct. 8
in which more than 300 persons atten-
ded. ; Typhoid fever is contracted
through contaminated food, Ray said
SHE SAID MANY of the symptoms
of typhoid are similar to the flu.
"A high fever is probably the most
prominent symptom," he said. "It's
unusally over 100, sometimes as high as
103 or 104 degrees."
She said other symptoms include
"headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
or possibly constipation."
THE DISEASE can be fatal, Ray
said, if it is not treated.
Ray said typhoid fever is com-
municable only through contaminated
food and friends and relatives of people
who may have contracted the disease
are in no danger.

Gamota also said he is trying to
promote better interaction between the
University and industry.
Gamota said the University currently
is ranked third-in the nation in attrac-
ting industry money for basic research,
with funds from industry totaling more
than $11 million.
PART OF THE IST's plan to attract
more industry funds to the University is
a recently proposed Michigan Research
Corporation. The MRC-now in its
beginning stages-would be a non-
profit, tax-exempt University cor
poration designed to facilitate the tran-
ifer of technojogy from the University
to industry ardtie ersa. -
Gamota said the IST is acting as an
"incubator" for the MRC project,
which now is being studied by Univer-
sity engineering professor Walton Han-
cock.
Hancock's study is "Phase 2" of the
MRC plan, Gamota said.
ROBERT HOWE, University
engineering professor, was chairman of
a task force that introduced the MRC
idea, which Gamota called "Phase 1"
of the project.
Gamota added, however, that IST is
not trying to steer Hancock's report -
which is due in late December -
toward a positive or negative decision
on the feasibility of MRC.
IST's relationship with the teaching
sector of the University\ was also a
large concern, Gamota said.
He said he hopes the University's fac-
ulty and students can benefit from the
experience gained from doing basic
research.
Gamota also said that as diregtor he
decides which units within the ISM ,will
receive the institute's .excess f=ls,
which now total more than $250,000, left
over from the institute's profits.
The IST will have to withdraw support
from some research areas' to bolster the
quality of other, stronger and more
popular areas with this excess money,
Gamota said.
Gamota said he bases these decisions
on the profitability of research and the
amount of current academic interest in
the specific area of research.

PANMUNJOM, Korea - The United States said yesterday its super-
sonic spy-planes will keep flying missions over the Korean demilitarized
zone despite warnings from North Korea, which fired a Soviet missile at a
U.S.plane last summer.
"The UNC will continue these routine flights as we deem necessary to en-
snite peace,"'said U:S Rear-Adm. .James Storms; representing the United
Nations Cotnmand: _-.
"I remind your side not to underestimate our~resolve.ip, this matter," Stor-
ms told the North'Koreans' at the-408th meeting of the Korean military ar-
mistice commission in the truce village of Panmunjom.
The meeting was called by North Korea to protest alleged border inciden-
ts, including a charge that an American SR-71 reconnaisance plane violated
communist airspace along the Korean border twice last Wednesday.
