The Michigan Daily -Friday, January 18, 1985'- Page 3 'U' law applications fall by 5% By ERIC MATTSON Five representatives of the University's law school told the Board of Regents yesterday that a 5 percent ;decline in the number of applicants to the school 'reflects a similar trend nationwide. Law school Dean Terrance Sandalow said that only 13,800 students. had applied for admission by the 'deadline this year, compared to an all-time high of 5,500twoyears ago. REGENT NELLIE Varner (D-Detroit) asked 'whether the lower number of applicants was a :response to the large number of lawyers already in the marketplace. If there is a glut of lawyers in the country's work force, University law school graduates haven't yet ;felt it. Sandalow said that 90 percent of the Univer- sity's law school graduates have job offers by the time they graduate. "The job opportunities available to our graduates are really quite remarkable," he said. "We see no pvidence of the softening of the market for our Ochool." THOUGH IT is important that law students be able to find a job when they graduate, Sandalow defended 'The two-career family poses as great a threat to the University . . . as the state's financial troubles.' - Terrance Sandalow Law school dean the intellectual process of legal training for its own sake. "The primary objective of law school ... is to teach people to think like lawyers," he said. "Law school, of course, is also concerned with the rules of law." High tuition at the law school may, however, be keeping students from applying. Michigan residents pay $4,000 a year and out-of-state students have a tuition bill nearly twice that. WHILE "MOST of our peer schools (such as Har- vard and Yale) have higher tuition than we do," San- dalow said, prestigious schools like The University of Virginia and The University of Texas boast tuition which is half that of the University's. The law school's minority recruitment is suffering as a result of the high tuition and, Sandalow said, because "we don't have as good a financial aid program (as other peer institutions)." A large number of retiring faculty members poses another potential problem for law school officials this year. BUT PROF. Fred Schauer said the large number of openings could result in a more diverse faculty, although he said it is becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified professors. "It's a lot of work trying to cast the net wider," Schauer said. "We are consciously trying to do that." A recent trend towards dual-career families is making it increasingly difficult to steal people away from other institutions, Schauer said. In other words, Ann Arbor's distance from large metropolitan areas which offer more job oppor- tunities makes it more difficult for potential faculty members' spouses to find work in the area, giving East Coast schools the edge. Sandalow took Schauer's observation a bit farther. "The two-career family poses as great a threat to the University . . . as the state's financial troubles,"'he said.

Regents to appoint med. school dean (Continued from Page 1) with changes in the outside world because "it's a dynamic situation," Johnson said. Two of the changes the school will have to face is the larger amount of time faculty members spend on treating patients instead of teaching students, and the changing demand for doctors in the marketplace, according |to Johnson. , Johnson said he has been visiting the campus periodically for the past six M months to learn about the medical T T school and the University as a whole. ALTHOUGH THE regents have not formally approved Johnson's appoin- tment, Billy Frye, vice president for academic affairs and provost, said he was confident about Johnson's confir- mation. "Dr. Johnson's experience, achievements, and reputation as an academic physician and medical ad- ministrator make us especially en- thusiastic about recommending his ap- pointment as dean of the medical school," Frye said in a written 1 1- T- w -.

Johnson was selected from a pool of 150 nominees from all over the country. A medical school search committee whittled the list down to six applicants, according to George Zuidema, vice provost for medical affairs. Zuidema said the 150 nominees did not contain Acting Dean Ward, who has elected to become chairman of the pathology department. ZUIDEMA praised Johnson's national reputation, and said "we feel he has every quality we were looking for in a dean." Johnson received his B.A. and M.D. degrees from Vanderbilt University in the early '50s and interned at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He stayed ontat Johns Hopkins as a faculty member until 1966, when he moved to the University of Florida. In 1972, Johnson accepted his current position at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Johnson said he would continue working at Wake Forest until May, and added that "I'm leaving here with very positive feelings about this institution.

Cooley Prof. of Law I I A defrnse against cancer can be cooked up your kitchen. There is evidence that diet and cancer are related. Some foods may promote cancer, while others may protect you from it. Foods related to lower- ing the risk of cancer of the r A larynx and esophagus all have r high amounts of carotene,. a form of Vitamin A which is in cantaloupes, peaches, broccoli, spinach, all dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, ; winter squash and tomatoes, citrus fruits and brussels Fruits, vegetables, and whole- grain cereals such as oatmeal, bran and wheat may help lower the risk of colorectal cancer. Foods high in fats, salt- or nitrite-cured foods like ham, and 4-- fish and types of sausages smoked by tradi- tional methods should be eaten in moderation. Be moderate in consumption of alco- hol also. A good rule of thumb is cut down on fat and don't be fat. Weight reduction may lower cancer risk. Our 12- year study of nearly a million Americans uncovered high cancer risks particularly among people 40% or more overweight. Now, more than ever, we know you can cook up your own defense against cancer., No one faces cancer alone. i_ ffceof nnanclal Aid 2011 Student Activities Bldg.
