'U' Nigerian students struggle to obtain aid The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 20, 1983-= pag,09 Suspectsh t-- after alleged :_ a robbery attemp (Continued from Page 1) slections last year contributed to the problem because the election captured 'much of the government's attention pnd money." Nigerian students who rely on 7cholarships from both state and private sources face such problems as universities refusing them their registration privileges, and eviction from their dwellings. Those who cannot enroll face the ad- ditional threat of deportation because their visas specify they must be enrolled in school to remain in the U.S. ABOUT HALF the University's Nigerian students receive private or government scholarships, according to Bill Krumm, the University's director of financial operations and sponsored program finance. Aministrators would not say how much money is owed, though officials say foreign students with outstanding debts are treated the same as U.S. residents in the same situation. "The University doesn't treat Nigerian students differently than any other student, be they sponsored privately or by the government," said Krumm. Krumm said no student is allowed to enroll if he or she has not paid tuition for two full terms. NAFSA has urged its 1,300 member institutions - including the University - not to admit new students "from f" countries whose students have failed to receive regular transfer of currencies for the payment of university and college fees." Krumm said the Univer- sity has not adopted the policy, though Grenada's prime minister killed in Sarmy coup BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) - The commander of Grenada's armed forces announced last -aight that Prime 9;Minister Maurice Bishop is dead, state- *ontrolled Radio Free Grenada said In a broadcast monitored here. Bishop had been put under house arrest a week ago, but was freed by a throng of his supporters earlier yester- ay and went to army headquarters, where some of his supporters were ' eing held. Witnesses said troops fired n Bishop and the people following him, end initial reports said he had been ounded. THE announcement of Bishop's death ame from Gen. Hudson Austin, army ommander and a member of the Cen- ral Committee of the New Jewel Mov- yment, the party that brought Bishop to wer in a 1979 coup. The party had en torn by dissension repently over uow rapidly to proceed with socialist iolicies on the Cuban-backed Carib- Jean island, with more radical leaders riticizing Bishop. Reports after the shooting at Fort !Rupert, the army headquarters, said four people were killed, including a Cabinet minister, and Bishop and two other ministers were hurt. A doctor at Grenada's General Hospital said one person was dead on arrival and "20 to 30" more were being treated. The doctor did not say whether Bishop or the other leaders were among them. A CROWD estimated at several thousand had stormed the prime minister's official residence on Mount Royal hours earlier, freeing him from a week of house arrest. The Barbados government's Carib- bean Broadcasting Corp. said Bishop, Education Minister Jacqueline Creft and Unison Whiteman, who resigned Tuesday as foreign minister, were wounded and hospitalized. The CBC said labor leader Vincent Noel and Norris Bain, Bishop's housing minister, were among four people killed. many colleges and universities have. All Nigerian students are affected by the problems, some students say, even if their families are sending the money. "All Nigerian students are having dif- ficulties," said one graduate student, who asked to remain anonymous. Nigerian students are reluctant to talk about the situation for fear of angering the government or their spon- sors at home. "If someone owed you money, would you insult them?" said Jon Heise, director of the University's International Center. THOSE who do complain risk alienation from their fellow Nigerian students, the graduate student said. He added that he was able to keep his University Terrace apartment only by negotiating a monthly lease - the University will not allow him to sign a more permanent agreement until his bills are paid. Heise also said foreign students can- not take jobs to make up for the lost money because it would violate their visas. "If you take a job, you could be legally deported," he said. "Work is not an option." Several members of the community and University administration have formed an informal committee to look into the Nigerian students' problems, according to Susan Lipschutz, an assistant in the president's office.
