Although it administers the academic programs 'of about 6,500 students, Rackham is a school without any teaching faculty members. Graduate students take classes and do independent work in the various schools, colleges, and institutes of the University, while Rackham watches over the more than 100 separate graduate programs offered. ALL GRADUATE programs leading to Ph.D. and M.A. degrees and some other professional doctoral and master's programs, are supervised by the Graduate School. The school's primary function is to maintain the high quality of the graduate programs through the efforts of its executive board-a committee of. faculty members, students, and ad- ministrators who meet every week to review the school's activities. THE SCHOOL, which has an annual budget of about $900,000, carries out its functions through several offices, which include: colleg es " The Graduate Admissions Office, responsible for coordinating graduate admissions, providing foreign ad- missions services, and conducting studies to contribute to admission policy development; " The Office of Student Affairs, which assists students and departments by administering the school's support ser- vices, such as fellowships, minority and women's affairs, and academimc ap- peals; * The Graduate Academic Records Office, responsible for maintaining the standards set by the Executive Com- mittee; informing students, faculty, and staff members of the school's policies and procedures; keeping the academic, records of all Rackham graduate students; * The Office of Non-Academic Career Counseling and Placement, designed to help students make the transition from the academic environment into the "real world." It is somewhere within this bureaucracy that the University's cen- tral administration will look to make cuts. i+I lap'py Hour Pitcher of Stroh's Mug of Stroh's French Fries $2.75 .50 .25 Mon.-Fri. 2pm-5pm Mon.-Wed. 8pm-Close 1301 S.

Some participants say the hijinks at a ga thering of top federal officials esday morning at the Department of Jlousing and Urban Development all Wzjs good, clean fun. OTHERS WHO attended speculate privately that Bollinger was venting tensions over policy matters when he &Anmed chocolate cake with vanila icing into the face of Deputy Under- secretary Dan Hughes. Hughes promptly retaliated in kind. Before it ended, several top officials joined the food fight that kindled memories of the movie antics of the late comedian John Belushi. Hughes, deputy undersecretary for field coordination, joked sheepishly that as many as half a dozen officials "may have eaten cake" - but not on their plates. Bollinger and Hughes had a pleasant meeting minutes after the party, and insisted they were horsing around. Environmentalists fight for cleanwater V 1 WASHINGTON (AP)- Seven en- vironmental organizations accused the Reagan administration yesterday of trying to cripple the national effort to curb water pollution by seeking to gut current law. The groups released a copy of a proposed bill the Environmental Protection Agency is considering presenting to Congress as the ad- ministration position for the upcoming debate, on reauthorizing the Clean Water Act. The environmentalists said the measure represented a "cynical at- tempt to undermine one of the country's best environmental laws." They ex- pressed particular unhappiness with a proposal to scrap national standards to require some 60,000 industrial sources to treat their wastes before they are discharged into municipal sewer systems. ' BUT THEY also said the measure would allow the government to delay for several years a program for con- trolling toxic chemicals being dumped into the water, double the length of time between reviews of a plant's pollution permit and block the government from regulating pollution from dams. (Continued from Page 1) programs) at all." The Rackham school, which ad- ministers the academic programs for the University's 6,500 graduate studen- ts, is operated on a yearly 'budget of about $900,000. 'Sauve said Rackham Dean Sussman played an instrumental role in the decision to review the graduate school. Sussman, who is also a member of the Budget Priorities Committee, "was the first one to agree 'yes, let's have a review now, we're better off with a review,' " Sauve said. SUSSMAN SAID the committee's review would focus on the school's ad- ministration, particularly of ad- missions and fellowships. Rackham is one of a number of schools, colleges, and programs up for review in the first round of cutbacks for the Five Year Plan. Administrators said they hope to cut back about $4 million of the total $20 million goalEby July 1 so that that money can be spent on other priorities, like faculty salaries, research, and other, faster-growing academic areas. Rackham was reviewed five years ago by a University committee under the leadership of economics Prof. Gar- dner Ackley. The findings of that com- mittee, dubbed the "Ackley Report," identified several areas within the graduate school that were deficient and suggested several plans for shoring them up. SAUVE SAID the current review of Rackham was proposed partly because a number of the Ackley Report recom- mendations have not been implemen- ted. "The review of the Rackham School is just to see where we've come untl u Im The Tux Sh.p Ltd. lorma N c1o0 t oo 8q \0 S s -5 en5 t n 6 338 cro ,1b oa og )0693 t 0 bryJN.Hf d in the past five years (since the report) and where we'll go in the next five years," Sauve said. "And I think faculty and students have a right to know what its (the graduate school's) role is going to be." The Budget Priorities Committee will be examining the recommendations of the Ackley Report, Sauve added, to determine "which ones have been carried out, which ones have not been carried out, and do we still want to carry them out." But, Sauve emphasized, Rackham, unlike the schools of art, education, and natural resources, is not being reviewed for very major cutbacks or elimination.
