WASHINGTON- This year's college freshpersons are more
interested in making money and are more conservative than
any other class in recent years, a new survey shows.
The University of California at Los Angeles and the American
Council on Education yesterday released their 16th annual sur-
vey of entering freshpersons.
THE SURVEY was based on questionnaires completed by
204,930 of the 1.7 million freshpersons who entered college last
fall.
It found that 60.2 percent-nearly two thirds-ranked "being
well-off financially" as~a very important goal in life. A year ago
63:3 percent felt that way and in 1967 only 43 percent did.
At the same time, 67 percent said a very important reason for
going to college is "to make more money." That compares with
63.4 percent last year and only 49.9 percent in 1971.
UNIVERSITY OF Michigan freshpersons appear to be typical
of the freshmen around the nation. Cheryl Matthews, from
Livonia, said, "I want to make a lot of money. After going
through all this shit, I'll deserve it. Also, I want to live the life
I'm accustomed to."'
Richard Moizio, an engineering freshman from White Plains,
N.Y., said "Of course I hope to make a lot of money. It's a strong
reason-but not the only one."
Daniel Montgomery from Bloomfield Hills said, "Money isn't
my overall, guiding force. If it was, I'd know that I was pre-law
or pre-med or something."

WHAT PATTERSON stands for, according to
Jansson, is increased tensions in the state's
prisons and the death penalty.
The inmate blames Patterson for en-
couraging prison guards to crack down on in-
mates last May, sparking widespread rioting in
the state's prison system.
And, Patterson supported Ballot Proposal B
in 1978, which eliminated reduction of prison
sentences for "good time" served - a proposal
that Jansson says has caused "one hell of a
drug problem and increased prison crime."
THE INCENTIVE for rehabilitation of
prisoners has been eliminated, Jansson con-
tinues. "If I saved a guard's life today, I
wouldn't get out any earlier. So what's my in-
centive to save his life?"
Jansson also assails Patterson for his out-
spoken support of the death penalty. "I'm not
worried about ever getting the death penalty,
I'm worried ;about human life," says Jansson,
who previously served time for fraud.

Reagan budget
proposes largest
deficit

history

From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON- President Reagan sent
Congress a $757.6 billion budget for 1983 that
proposes the largest deficits in history-$273
billion over the next three years-along with a
second broad swath of cuts through social
programs and a record military build-up.
The election year budget blueprint, which in-
stantly triggered a furor among Reagan's
congressional friends and foes, projects deficits
of $98.6 billion in fiscal 1982, $91.5 billion in' 1983
and $82.9 billion in 1984, the year congressional
Republicans were hoping would produce the first
balanced budget since 1969.
A YEAR AFTER the administration identified
deficits as the leading cause of inflation, and
vowed a balanced budget by 1984, officials tried
yesterday to downplay the- significance of the
massive red ink.
Budget Director David Stockman
acknowledged the deficits were being described
"with words behind them like 'staggering,
towering, gigantic, huge, etc.' They're not large
in the context of a $3.3 trillion economy," Stock-
man said.
And while the president insisted his program
would eventually return the nation to a path of
strong growth and low inflation, his short-term
outlook was not encouraging for the millions of
Americans left unemployed by recession.
REAGAN PREDICTED the economy would
begin to recover this spring, but said unem-
ployment is expected to average near a post-
World War II high of 9 percent for 1982' and
remain above 8 percent for much of 1983.
The budget, the first Reagan has shaped from
start to finish, sticks to the plan he launched a
year ago for a massive rearmament, extensive
cuts in domestic programs and personal income
tax cuts.
Reagan avoided the further embarrassment of
being the first president to project a $100 billion
deficit by urging Congress to cut an additional
$2.4 billion from domestic programs during the
current fiscal year. Otherwise, the 1982, deficit
would hit $101 billion.
DEFENSE SPENDING would jump 10 percent
-in 1983, diverting 29 cents out of every federal
dollar to the Pentagon and other defense-related
agencies.

Michael Goldring, a freshman business student from Bir-
mingham said, "I'm concerned with making money because I
want to be rich. You get classy women that way."
Alexander Astin, a UCLA education professor and survey
director, said, "This increasing materialism has been accom-
panied by increased political conservatism."
Conservatives moved ahead of liberals in, the poll, with the
number of students labelling themselves conservatives rising
from 17.1 to 19.6 percent, while the number calling themselves
liberals fell from 19.6 to 10.1 percent.
There were drops in both the "far right" from 1.2 to 1.1 per-
cent and the "far left" from 2.1 to 1.6 percent.
Astin said the majority of students always has identified itself
as "middle of the road," including 59.6 percent this year.
But he noted that, "Whereas students on the left of the
political spectrum outnumbered those on, the right by better
than 2 to 1-38.1 versus 10.2 percent-10 years ago, those on the
right now slightly outnumber those on the left-20.7 percent ver-
sus 19.7 percent."
He also cited conservative trends in decreased student sup-
port for legalizing marijuana, down in 1981 from 39.3 to 34 per-
cent, abolishing the death penalty-from 34.5 to 30.1 percent-
and for school busing 45.8 to 43.9 percent.:
Astin also said there was some evidence that high school
"grade inflation" has ended, although 20.6 percent of freshmen
still report getting an "A" average in~high school. In 1969, only
12.5 percent had an "A" average.

It's still too early to call it a com-
plete turnaround, but the Michigan
basketball team is getting there.
The Wolverine cagers yesterday
upset Illinois, 58-53, bringing home
the third victory in their last four
games.
Theregionally televised game at
Crisler Arena was their third
straight win at home.
THE BLUE hoopsters, who were
1-13 just two weeks ago, upped their
record to 4-14 overall and 3-7 in the
Big Ten, snapping a four-game
Illinois winning streak and dropping
the visitors to 13-6 overall and 6-4 in
the league.
"This win magnifies the confiden-
ce we had from. the Ohio State
game," said Michigan sophomore
guard Dan Pelekoudas, referring to
his team's 62-60 overtime victory
over the Buckeyes Jan. 28. "I think
Illinois was the best team in the con-
ference going into this game. Now
we know we can beat any team.
That's got to give us confidence."

In the wake of President Reagan's dispatch of
$55 million in new military aid to El Salvador,
speakers at a campus teach-in yesterday urged
students to work actively to end U.S. interven-
tion in the Central American country.
"Reagan has sent dawn $55 million by signing
a piece of paper," said Beth Parry, one of the
main speakers at the teach-in, sponsored by the
Latin American Solidarity Committee. "We need
to raise money so that the people of El Salvador
can continue their struggle," she said.
PARRY ALSO told students to send a letter or
mailgram to their legislators in Washington to
let Reagan know they oppose his policy toward
El Salvador.
The Reagan administration last week vowed to
do "whatever is necessary" to stop a leftist vic-
tory in El Salvador, leaving open the possibility,
of sending U.S. troops.
This announcement followed a certification by
Reagan late last month that the Salvadoran jun-
ta has made a "concerted and significant effort"
to protect human rights.
Speakers at yesterday's teach-in claimed
Reagan's statement was a complete fallacy,
citing several alleged instances of torture by the
'junta.
PARRY QUOTED what she said was the
testimony of a former Salvadoran soldier that
several women and children were tortured and
brutally killed in the presence of American
Green Berets, who were training the soldiers.
The teach-in, offering seven workshops
throughout the day, attracted about 300 people.
