The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 15, 1985- Page 5 U.S. soldiers to leave Grenada ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) - Vice President George Bush yesterday rejected a government request to let 250 American soldiers stay in Grenada but said the United States was committed to preserving democracy on the island. The troops, remnants of a force that invaded the Caribbean island on Oct. 25, 1983 to oust a radical lef- tist junta, are scheduled to leave Grenada by June 12, and Bush said there were no plans to change the timetable. HOWEVER, THE vice president pledged that the United States "will not sit idly by and allow Grenada's security to be threatened." The vice president spent the morning resting at a beachfront hotel before meeting local leaders and addressing a cheering crowd at athletic field. He departed in mid-afternoon, a little more than eight hours after arriving, for Brazil to attend the inauguration Friday of president-elect Tancredo Neves. Bush flew to Grendada after attending the funeral of Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko and talking with the new Kremlin leader, Mikhail Gor- bachev. He said he left Moscow "with the feeling that the new general secretary is interested in progress on arms control. So I didn't see any negative change in that very important area." BUSH REITERATED that he couldn't discuss a letter from President Reagan he delivered to Gor- bachev, saying it was up to Soviets to make it public. He would not say whether the letter related to a U.S.- Soviet summit, which officials in Washington said Reagan is seeking. Leaders of Grenada's recently elected government asked for an extension of the U.S. military presence, citing the inexperience of the island's 500-person police force. The withdrawal of U.S. forces will coincide with the departure of the 400-person Caribbean Peacekeeping Force, composed of soldiers from six island nations. "We are committed to law and order, we are com- mitte to democracy in Grenada," Bush said, but ad- ded thht U.S. officials were satisfied that the Grenada police force, mostly of recruits trained by U.S. and British experts, can handle any security problems. He said if a security threat developed during the phased withdrawal that begins April 12, the removal of troops will be halted. Asked if troops would be sent back in if problems flared after the withdrawal, Bush said he "was not going into specifics" or hypothetical scenarios. Bush said his welcome in Grenada and his talks with Prime Minister Herbert Blaize underlined his conviction that the Grenada invasion was "a proud moment" for the United States.

Last year's tuition freeze, the growth of Michigan's economy and an adequate financial aid program also add to the popularity of the school, Sjogren said. ALL FACTORS considered, "the reputation of this University is well deserved. We are among the best luniversities in this country, in fact in the'world," Sjogren said. The University is deserving of such a fine reputation because the professors and "students are of such high quality and good students make good professors look even better," Sjogren said. Other than Michigan, the East Coast, Ohio, and Illinois send the greatest number of students to the Univerity. "We need the East Coast, and Califor- nia is beginning to send quite a few Students to lobby gainst ed. budget cuts (Continued from Page 1) with Michigan's senators Carl Levin and Donald"Reigle, and U.S. represen- tatives from Michigan, Carl Pursell William Broomfield, and Guy Vander- jagt, or aides from their offices. MSA PRESIDENT Scott Page said the trip is well worth the money. When the assembly decided not to ap- jiopriate the money, Page called the University's lobbyist in Washington, Tom Butts, who agreed that the lobby day should be attended by University representatives. Page then relayed Butts' message to Johnson. Williams and Michaels will attend seminars and classes during the Nweekend and will lobby Congress on Monday. ."We think it is a great idea," said Michaels. "MSA did not want to fund half the trip, but the University agreed to fund the whole thing. It shows we're not crazy (for wanting to go) ."- Michaels and Williams have com- pletely different ideologies. Michaels is an "ardent Reagan-Bush supporter" and Williams is much more liberal. "The people I know who supported Reagan-Bush still feel the education budget should remain intact. The cuts Kould only be less than 1 percent of the deficit," Michaels said. "Our lobbying together is a good way of saying these cuts are bad," said Williams. POLICE ,NOTES Property stolen Stereo equipment, two watches, and a necklace were found missing from an apartment on the 200 block of Glen street Wednesday evening. According to Ann Arbor Police, the residents returned while two men were getting away with the property, valued at $1.200 -Thnmas Hrnch students too," Sjogren said. STUDENTS are also drawn to the University because of the high marks given to it in college guide books and reports. But many students find out about the University simply through friends or relatives. Sjogren said this word-of-mouth theory facilitates recruitment efforts. Marilyn McKinny, assistant director of admissions, said alumni went to 80 college nights last year to convince in- terested high school students to attend the University. The increased alumni recruitment of recent years may help explain the growing number of out of state ap- plicants, Sjogren said. "I think last year was the first year out of state (ap- plications) exceeded in-state," he said. Alumni have been most active in California, Florida, and Texas, McKin- ny said. "We even have active alumni in Belgium," she said. In order to combat the view that the University is "a big, cold, and imper- sonal place to be," alumni said ad- missions officers also call many ap- plicants to inform them of their accep- tance before they get the official notice in the mail, McKinny said.
