That is how former Michigan football great Harlan Huckleby feels in his fourth season playing for the Green Bay Packers. Even though Michigan's sixth leading all-time rusher is starting to feel at home now, he is not sure how much longer he'll be playing in the NFL. "It's tough to say," said Huckleby. "If I could play a couple more years I'd feel fortunate. I'm really starting to feel comfortable on the field." SINCE HIS graduation in 1979, the Michigan native has been through some hard times compared to the success that came so easily to him in college. "It was a big change going from college to pro. All of the players are so much better. At this level, the com- petition for jobs is very fierce, it's very hard to make it." It is that competition that put Huckleby's NFL career in doubt before it even got off the ground. In 1979 he was drafted by the New Orleans Saints. But, oddly enough, the lowly Saints were not inclined to keep the speedster, and he was cut during the preseason. IT SEEMED that no team in the NFL was willing to take a chance on Harlan Huckleby, due, in part, to the ham- string injuries that plagued him in college. So he weit north to the Canadian Football League. He attended a five-day tryout with the Saskat- chewan Roughriders and made the team. But he soon found that the CFL was not what he wanted. "I didn't enjoy it. I was used to first-class football like it RIER was at Michigan. I'm not trying to put is the CFL down, but the quality of the it- athletes and the level of play was not what I was used to. Huckleby also found that going from Lal JL i 6110 VV'.s. g4ry, " Michigan's rushing offense to a league each of those three years, Michigan publicly that I had played great,' which is dominated hv theaswsawon the Big Ten and went to the Rose Huckleby explains. tough adjustment. FORTUNATELY FOR Huckleby, he only had to spend one year in the CFL. After that season, the Green Bay Packers offered him what he had wan- ted all along, an NFL contract. So, in July of 1980, he signed as a free agent. Apd at* Of course it is not easy suddenly becoming a second stringer after being a three-year starter at Michigan. Said Huckleby, "I don't get as much playing time as I would like, although I've got- ten more this year than last." He sees duty mainly as a punt and kickoff returner and is also backup fullback. That is a far cry from the action he saw in his years at Michigan. In those days, particularly after his sophomore year, it was not unusual to hear the phrase "Huckleby for the Heisman." HUCKLEBY WAS Bo's kind of ball carrier. He never showed a whole lot of finesse. Rather than juke the defense, the then 198-pounder would slash right through would-be tacklers. And he had excellent speed. In fact, Huckleby helped Michigan's mile relay team win a Big Ten title and third place nationally in 1976. He is a proven winner. His senior year was his third straight year as a Bowl. The 1979 graduate said he has mostlyj good memories from his days at Michigan. But the one game that sticksj out in Huckleby's mind took place his senior year. In a losing cause against Michigan State, Huckleby played the best game of his college career. Even though the result was a loss to an arch-rival, that game stands out to him as the best. Why? "It was the only I Huckleby has earned respect.,. from others as well. Mike Jolly, once a'" Michigan teammate and now at Green Bay said, "Everyone on the teamv" respects him for the attitude he carries, He has made himself a versatile back ' and a good pass catcher." He has made it where many have failed. He is not a superstar, but he isa, success. 0'4 'It was a big change going from college to pro. All of the players are so much etter.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BAND-O-RAMA 1983 Featuring: Concert Band Symphony Band Jazz Band Friars Marching Band Saturday, October 29 , I etter luck recruiting black students vhich Nordby attributed to better unding from private sources. Stanford niversity raised its black student nrollment by 25 percent last year, Jordby said. But when an audience member asked o hike black enrollment how much money from the University's budget was spent on minority recruit- ment Nordby said she didn't have "the slightest idea." "WE KNOW we will put more money into recruiting so it's not important that we don't know," said Nordby following the hour-long panel discussion innthe Kuenzel room of the Michigan Union. "I don't have the authority to demand budget information. That's up to the University's chief budget officer," she said. Schools with higher black student enrollment offer better financial aid packages than the University of Michigan, said Nordby. SEVERAL students asked Nordby what the responsibilities would be for a newly-created minority administrator position. Nordby said that details about the top post, approved by University Regents this month, weren't available yet, but she stressed that the official's primary responsibility would be to coordinate existing minority programs. She stressed, however, that the ad- ministrator would have other respon- sibilities so the job would not be limited to working only with minority problems. "There was concern expressed that if (the, admiistrat r s) only jpb As minority problems, he or she would be isolated. (Minority problems) are the responsibility of everyone and you can't shove it on one person and say 'that's your problem,' "Nordby said. NORDBY ALSO answered several questions on the recent dismissal of a University professor charged with sexually harassing female students and staff three years ago. Panel members also asked about the University President Harold Shapiro's delay in establishing a non- discrimination policy toward gays. The Rand Graduate Institute (RGI) Invites applications for its doctoral degree program in policy analysis. Deadline for submitting applications for 1984-85 is February 1, 1984. RGI is an integral part of the Rand Corporation. Its curriculum consists of interdisciplinary study, combined with on-the-job training (OJT), leading to the award of the Ph.D. in Policy Analysis. Students receive OJT support equivalent to doctoral fellowships. The Rand Graduate Institute is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. A master's degree, or equivalent post-bachelor's degree training and experience, is required for admission. A representative of the Rand Graduate Institute will be at Career Planning and Placement, 3200 Student Activities Bldg. on Monday, October 31, 1983. The Rand Corporation is an equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action employer. Panel to study LSA's future (Continued from Page i) iese schemes, if any, are practical. ONE OF the commission's major tsks will be projecting the decline in irollment according tQ Sociology Prof. Ibert Hermalin, a member of the )mmission. While the number of ghteen year olds will drop, Hermalin 'd, there are a number of factors to Sider. "Predicting enrollment is a very icky business," he said. In addition to e number of college-age students, he id the percentage of those students ho choose to attend college has fluc- iated quite a bit in recent years. He [so said the commission must consider te growing number of adults who are returning to college. Hermalin said the committee's in- structions will . not be extremely specific. "We're very open to take it where we think it should go." He said the group will have a broad range of issues to consider, including curriculum, the goals and emphases of the college, its administration, and the types of students they want to attract. SOME OF the curriculum changes may come from a faculty committee's report last year calling for a course distribution pattern which would "make students aware of the coming world," according to English Prof. William Alexander, chairman of that committee. Alexander said his report, which was "one of the stimuli" for the new com- .mission, suggested that students be exposed to non-western cultures, ethics, science and technology, and other areas. Members emphasized that the com- mittee will advise the Executive Com- mittee about possible changes, but will have no authority to make those changes. Although it was not in the original plans, the commission will .have a student member. Upon learning of the panel, LSA Student Government President Rajeev Samantrai said he wrote to Dean Peter Steiner asking that a student be allowed to work with the committee.
