GRADUATE ASSISTANTS WANTED
in Eastern Michigan University
rnnnek andanr~emmkn#

By DAVID MEYERl
Partly as a means of making up lost
tuition revenue, the University is
moving toward admitting a greater
proportion of out-of-state students, ac-
cording to members of an advisory;
panel on admissions policies.
Because graduate school enrollment
has declined markedly over the past
decade, and because state ap-
propriations to the University have
been repeatedly cut back, the Univer-
sity plans to make up some of the lost
money by admitting more out-of-state
students, who pay roughly three times
more tuition than students from
Michigan.
STUDENTS FROM outside Michigan
make up about 26 percent of all LSA
students currently, but that figure will
probably climb toward about 30 percent
soon, according to chemistry Prof.
Adon Gordus; who is a faculty member
of the LSA Admissions Advisory Com-
mittee.
Over the past two years, LSA has
already been admitting slightly more
out-of-state students, Gordus said, and
that trend will probably continue this
fall. He said the number of applications
for admission from out of the state has

been growing, while the number from
within Michigan has been declining.
slightly.
"It's appealing to get the greater
tuition revenue," Gordus said of the
growing proportion of out-of-state
students, "but also there is a greater
potential pool of students of high quality
to draw on from out of state."
JON GOULD, a student member of
the admissions committee, said the
University has firm plans to move
toward a greater balance between in-
state and out-of-state students, but that
administrators may face political
pressure from the state legislature to
keep a lid on the number of students
admitted from outside the state.
"I know they want to," he said of ad-
ministrators' desire to admit more out-
of-state students. "The question is, will
Lansing let them do it. The big question
is, will the state taxpayers foot the bill
for more out-of-state students."
Gould said the state currently sub-
sidizes about 75 percent of the cost of
education for in-state students, and
about 25 percent for students from out-
side Michigan.
UNIVERSITY Admissions Director
Cliff Sjogren was out of town last night
and could not be reached for comment

on the University's plans.
Speaking, before the LSA-Student
Government last night, Gould said that
the University is now considering
several alternate plans for dealing with
a lack this year of qualified transfer
students from outside Michigan.
He said that Sjogren reported that
only 115 of the out-of-state students who
applied to transfer to the University1
this year meet admissions standards.
Since the University usually admits 1751
out-of-state transfer students, it is left
60 students short of its target this fall,
and therefore faces a loss of roughly
$400,000 in tuition revenue, Gould said. l
TO MAKE UP this loss the University
is considering three possible plans, he
said.
The first would simply admit an extra1
60 in-state transfer students to make up1
the difference, but Gould said since in-I
state students pay a smaller tuition
there would still be a loss of revenue.
A second alternative would increase;
the ratio of out-of-state freshpersons toI
in-state freshpersons admitted this fall,I
which would result in more tuition. 1
A THIRD PLAN would simply admit
an extra 200 freshpersons this fall.I
Gould told the LSA-SG members thatI
LSA administrators estimate that ad-

mitting 200 more students would not
result in noticeable overcrowding.
After the meeting, Gould said be
doubted administrators ill pursue the
third plan because o possible 6p-
position that might be generated by tie
addition of new students at a time wen
staff members are being eliminated.-
LSA-SG last night criticized the thitd
plan and tentatively endorsed a com-
bination of the first two plans, whereby
more in-state transfer students would
be admitted while the ratio of out-sf-
state students to in-state students would
also grow.
Interviewed last night, Gordus said,
however, the third plan would not in-
crease overall enrollment in LSA. Hp
said because graduate enrollment his
dropped off so greatly, the number. of
LSA students enrolled this fall vgll
probably be the same or smaller than
this year, even if 200 more freshliersons
were admitted.
The LSA Admissions Advisory Com-
mittee will consider the three plays
tomorrow and make a recommendation
to LSA Dean Peter Steiner. Steiner Will
then make a recommendation to Billy
Frye, vice president for academic a-
fairs, who will make a final decision on
the plans with the University's
executive officers.

Policy Board fails to live up to high hopes
By GARY CHMITaiarng nowers that the Curriculum and Executive ts"

It was creatged with the best of intentions.
Back in 1969, when forward-looking student leaders
pressed for and got the creation of a Student-Faculty
Policy Board for the College of LSA, the new board
was to be a powerful voice for student concerns.
But, as even the members of the group admit,
things haven't worked out that way.
"WE HAD HIGH hopes," said Kathy Friedman, a
former LSA Student Government vice president and
member of the board during the 1970's. "Getting
issues in front of the Governing Faculty and the
University administration seemed important."
She said, however, that she became disillusioned
with the lack of response to the board. "It turned out
to be just a way of placating students," she said.
Current student co-chairperson Jim Cull agreeed,
and asserted the administration lacks respect for the
committee. "They believe we don't represent
students," he said, "but we are a whole lot more
representative than they are."
LSA ASSOCIATE Dean for Curriculum Jens Zorn
feels the administration is not to blame for the
board's apparent ineffectiveness. He said the board
does not get the attention that other committees do
partly because "They just don't have the decision

Committees do."
The board's recent record has not been spec-
tacular, student and faculty members of the board
agree. Last year, the board sent an ambitious four-
part plan to the Associate Dean for Curriculum, the.
Associate Dean for Faculty Appointments, the
Associate Dean for Long Range Planning, and the of-
fice of then acting Dean John Knott. Nothing became
of the plan.
The plan called for a re-evaluation of the view of
teaching held by the administration and its depar-
tments and of how these views specifically impinged
on the tenure process.
THE BOARD received only one response, and that
was not favorable.
Carroll believes that "all of (the board's) proposals
were feasible, and perhaps even clever, but they paid
no attention to the style of this administration. We
asked them to do the sorts of things they weren't ac-
customed to doing."
But Cull 'said the proposals were just ignored.
"They obviously didn't take it very seriously," Cull
complained. "The administration feels that our
committee is serving the purpose of pacifying studen-

ONE OF THE major problems faced by the board
is deciding just what issues to discuss. The board is
one of the few committes on campus that does not
have a narrowly defined purpose, board members
say.
Zorn said the board's flexibility is both a blessing
and a curse. "They're free to propose anything they
want to," he said, "and that freedom is nice but it is
also limiting."
Freshperson Sherrie Lipman, a student co-
chairperson of the board, said the board "sometimes
seems like a refuge for any problem that comes up."
Today the board consists of six students and six
faculty members, but in its original form the board
was composed of ten students and ten faculty mem-
bers. "With that many members it was a pretty local
and visible group," said Dick Brazee, a former LSA-
SG president. They also had a standing place on the
Governing Faculty's agenda." The Board must now
secure a place on the agenda before hand.
When the board was created, "it had some fairly
sweeping powers," Brazee 'said. "It had more poten-
tial than any other student committee.."

Court to be dedicated

Ann Arbor's new United States District
Court will be dedicated today in an
opening ceremony at the Federal
Building atthecorner of Liberty St. and
Division Ave.
"The new courtroom that will be
dedicated has been in the works about
20 years," said Chief Judge John
Feikens of the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan. "When the new Federal
Building was built five or six years ago,
it had space in it for a new courtroom,"
he said. Several years passed before
the Ann Arbor court got official
operating approval from the Federal
Court of Appeals.

FEIKENS SAID the new court will
handle cases from Monroe,
Washtenaw, Jackson, and Lenawee
Counties. Cases decided in the new
court will include civil cases involving a
federal question and criminal caes that
involve- violations of federal law,
Feikens said.
Mayor Louis Belcher and University
Law School Dean Terrence Sandalow
will speak at the dedication ceremony.
"From a selfish standpoint, a
mayor's always got to be pretty pleased
when a federal court opens 
Belcher said.
