The Michigan Daily-Friday, December 11, 1981-Page 5 PolI. Sci. helps MSA By LISA CRUMRINE The Political Science department is giving students an extra chance this term to participate in the bi- annual rite of filling out course evaluation forms. The department has agreed to become the first LSA department to hand out Michigan Student Assembly Course Encounters evaluation forms to students in its classes. In the forms, students are asked to grade their professors and courses. The information is then com- piled by class and printed in Course Encounters. The first edition of the student-supplied booklet was published one year ago. "WE WERE asked to use the forms by the Michigan Student Assembly," said Professor Samuel WASHIN in the natic hit an all-t College fthe g day. The figt estimates *enr 'ollm ent Educatios educators Barnes, chairman of the political science depar- tment. "We were sympathetic to their request because we're involved with questions of survey sampling in our department. If we're going to have MSA evaluations of our department, we would rather see them filled out by all students, rather than by a minority of them. "We're using the MSA forms to help MSA do what they're doing better-so the results will be more reliable," he added. MSA hopes to persuade other LSA-departments to introduce the forms into their classrooms, according to MSA Course Encounters committee chairman David Kuehn. "Originally, our evaluations were intended to ap- evaluate pear on the forms done by theCenter for Research on Learning and Teaching, but there was some con- fusion, and the questions weren't printed on their form," Kuehn said. The CRLT evaluation forms are used by several LSA departments. Next semester the MSA questions probably will appear on the CRLT forms, Kuehn said. "We were hoping that other departments would follow our step in using the forms," Barnes said. "We were also hoping the MSA questions would be part of the CRLT form which our department uses." Other departments are expected to use the MSA evaluations in class next term, Kuehn added. Barnes said the political science department will continue to use its own evaluation forms.

Several of these institutions blamed cuts in state aid that "translated into higher tuition rates, especially for part- time students, and the elimination of selected programs," the center repor- ted., Its overall enrollment estimate of. 12,322,469 was up 126,000, or almost 2 percent, from the fall 1980 level of 12,096,805. The center said that for the sixth straight year, more women than men at a high dropping d the pass, generation come true. But the tment of E l Scholars t 'WASHINGTON (AP)- Past *ecipients of Fulbright scholarships are riding to the rescue of the prestigious award and other cultural exchange programs facing President Reagan's budget ax. So far, they have made some progress in convincing Congress. "Fulbright alumni and other scholars, argue that the exchange programs are a good way to educate future foreign leaders about America. * AN APPROPRIATION bill now before the Senate would not only restore all the cuts, but also would add an extra $9 million -for the Fulbright scholarships and direct the ad- ministration to spend the money. A bill restoring the cuts has already passed the House. Reagan, however, has vowed to make his cuts stick. Congressional sources say they're getting no signals on whether the administration is willing to exempt the exchange program from the cuts. In response to Reagan's fall directive for every federal agency to chop 12 per- cent from its budget, the International Communications Agency wants to cut its cultural exchange program and not the Voice of America and other ICA broadcast operatidns. ICA SPOKESMAN Henry Ryan said ry to save his agency hopes Congress and the ad- ministration will prevent the cuts from being made. But should ICA reductions occur, he said, the agency has decided they must come in exchange programs. ICA has proposed cutting $25.6 million from the $48 million planned for scholarship programs and $11.5 million from.the $19.8 million for visitor ex- change programs. The biggest single cut would slash $19.8 million from the $41.9 million now ticketed for the Fulbrights. - NAMED FOR former Sen. J. William Fulbright, the scholarships have brought about 85,000 students from other countries to the United States sin- ce World War II and have sent about 45,000 Americans abroad to study. The Arkansas Democrat, 'who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations. Committee for many years, says the.program gives foreign studen- ts, many of whom become leaders, an understanding of America. And he once testified that he doubts the late President Lyndon Johnson would have escalated the Vietnam War had John- son been a Fulbright alumni and known' more about Asia. "If he had lived in Asia for a year un- der, this program, he would not have engaged in that conflict, I believe," Fulb rights Fulbright told a House committee three years ago. "This can apply to anybody in a powerful position. I think it's one of the reasons there is so much sympathy and understanding abroad for this country." REP. HOWARD Wolpe (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Africa subcom- mittee, said during a House debate that the cuts will close down virtually all Fulbright programs in Africa that have "paid off with the creation of a moderate pro-Western government in Zimbabwe." Wolpe said five of Zimbabwe's 15 Cabinet members are Fulbright alum- rii, as are 25 other Zimbabwe officials. The ICA says the cuts would eliminate scholarships in 61 pf the 120 countries in the program, wiping out nearly all in Africa and many in Asia, the Middle East and South America. Fewer of the European scholarships would be eliminated. RYAN SAID Europe is not being favored. Instead, he- explained, longstanding treaties and agreements prevent cuts there. With lobbying from scholars, Congress is likely to pass legislation blocking cuts in the exchange programs. are attending college. Women accoun- ted for nearly 52 percent of all students, up from 45 percent in 1975 and only 42 percent a decade ago. The center said the women are helping to keep enrollments on the rise. Other factors are a peak in 1981 in the number of 18- to 24-year-olds, "the last group to come out of the great birth boom of the 1950s and 1960s," and "the growing popularity of two-year in- stitutions. It said the two-year community and junior colleges were "the only in- stitutions that showed a large enrollment gain, up 5 percent over 1980" to 4.7 million students.

As the Semester end approaches - bringing with it a period of heavy book selling by students - ULRICH'S would like to review with you their BUY-BACK POLICY. Used books fall into several categories, each of which - because of the law of supply and demand - has its own price tag. Let's explore these various categories for your guidance i,0 I ,' ~ CLASS 1. CLOTHBOUND A textbook of current copyright - used on our campus - and which the Teaching Department involved has approved for re- use in upcoming semesters- has the highest market value. If ULRICH'S needs copies of this book we will'offer a minimum of 50% off the list price for copies in good physical condition. When we have sufficient stock of a title for the coming semester, ULRICH'S will offer a "WHOLESALE PRICE" which will be explained later in this article. (THIS IS ONE REASON FOR SELLING ALL YOUR USED BOOKS AT ONCE!) CLASS II. PAPERBOUND Paperback are classified in two groups: A. Text Paperbacks; B. Trade Paperbacks A. Text Paperbacks will be purchased from you as Class I books above. B. Trade.Paperbacks would draw an approximate offer of 25% of the list price when in excellent condition. CLASS III. Some of the above Class I or Class 11 books will be offered which have / torn bindings, loose pages,large amounts of highlighting and under- lining, orother physical defects. These will be priced down according to the estimated cost of repair or saleability. CLASS IV.

(Quite often we have MANY copies of the old title of which you have only ONE.) However, ULRICH'S does enter the picture by having connections with over 600 other bookstores throughout the country. We advertise these discontinued books and sell many of them at schools where theyare still being used. ULRICH'S does this as a service to you and pays you the BEST POSSIBLE price when you sell them to us with your currently used books. CLASS V. Authors and publishers frequently bring out new editions. When we "get caught" with an old edition, let's accept the fact that it has no value on the wholesale market, and put it on the shelf as a reference book or sell it cheap fora bargain reference book. You will find that you come out best in the long run when you sell ALL your books to ULRICH'S.
