1~ 'U,' MSU promote The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, March 10, 1982-Page 3 dormitories By INDRE LIUTKUS Both the University and Michigan State University, faced with the prospect of declining student populations, have adbpted more aggressive marketing plans to per- suade students to continue living in university dorms rather than moving off campus. At Michigan State University in East Lansing, university housing officials have decided to reinstitute a policy which requires undergraduates to live in university housing for their first two years of school. The requirement has been on the books for seven years, but university officials did not enforce it because there were always enough students to fill open spaces in dor- mitories. NOW, HOWEVER, facing declining enrollment and severe budget cut- backs, MSU officials plan to start en- forcing the plan in the fall of 1983 to keep the dorms filled, said Robert Un- derwood, the manager of MSU's dorms. In Ann Arbor, University officials say they have no problem yet finding enough students to fill dorm rooms. But they too have decided to make a greater effort to attract students to the dorms. University housing officials said, however, wlile there may be no shor- tage of students in the immediate future, the student population might shrink in the long run enough that dorm rooms be left empty. "WE SEE THE writing on the wall," said Leroy Williams, the director of residence hall operations for the University. "We have a great program here and are having no problems now, but we want to avoid the difficulties (Michigan) State is having." "We are not at a point where we are begging for occupants. We still have to monitor re-entry into the University housing in order to have room for each incoming freshperson," he said, noting that since the University has fewer dorms than MSU the problem in Ann Arbor will probably never be as severe as it is in East Lansing. TO PLAY IT safe, however, Univer- sity housing officials have come up with new pamphlets which stress the benefits of living in University housing and have extended meal hours and started serving breakfast in some dor- mitories in an effort to attract more students, Williams said. "We are aware that University housing and the different types of private housing are all going after the same student population," he said. "We'll just have to keep pushing harder to let students know about the benefits of living in University housing." MSU officials have takn much the same approach in marketing their dorms. "The last thing we want to do is take a defeatist attitude," said Under- wood. "We have good, reasonably priced, conveniently located housing, and are attempting to actively attract students by making the halls better adapted to varying student needs." * HPPENINS HIGHLIGHT Today Laughtrack presents a Richard Pryor comedy celebration in the U- Club at 9 p.m. A joke contest and drawings will run all night long, and the -featured comic is Sheila Kay.

Cocaine bust MIAMI (AP)- Nearly two tons of high-grade Colombian cocaine was seized yesterday at Miami Inter- national Airport by U.S. Customs and Drug Enforcement Administration agents and officials said it was the largest cocaine seizure in history. About 3,748 pounds of cocaine, worth an estimated $175 million on the street, was found in a shipment of clothing that arrived from Colombia aboard a Tam- pa-Colombia International Airways cargo plane, said Robert Battard, regional commissioner of Customs in Miami. HE AND OTHER Customs and DEA officers described it as the nation's largest cocaine seizure. Federal of- ficials previously had said the largest amount seized was 826 pounds, con- fiscated in February 1981 in Miami. DEA officials interviewed the crew of the plane and many of the airline's em- ployees, but no arrests were made, Bat- tard said. "We've been working (watching) this particular carrier for at least the last 12 months and we've suspected them of carrying contraband," Battard said. Custom inspectors met the Boeing 707 cargo jet as it arrived and began checking its cargo, Battard said. At least 22 unconcealed boxes of cocaine 99 9'- largest ever were found among 22 other boxes of dresses and suits from Medellin, Colombia, he said. According to Battard, the airline is about 3 or 4 years old and has daily flights between Miami and Colombia.
