The quality of financial aid packages could tip the scales for highly recruited students, especially in the non-professional schools, the report said. "Michigan is such a good (law) school that people are willing to go into debt to come to Michigan," said Law School financial aid officer Katharine Gottschalk. THE REPORT commented that without adequate aid programs, the University's graduate schools "are in danger of losing their hopes to revamp aid IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports statures as nationally recognized professional schools." High non- resident tuition and relatively poor aid packages could lead to the University becoming a "regional training" center. "I think Michigan is a national leader in education," said D'Arms. "Very few of us (administrators and faculty) want to be anything else." Other recommendations of the report, if implemented, would shorten the length of time students spend as teaching assistants, would provide funds to bring students to campus to visit with faculty in a recruitment effort, and would hire additional staff to coordinate aid information through Rackham. The report also Addressed the need for setting up a type of counseling for students who have accumulated a large debt over the course of their graduate education. The Law School was singled out for its debt counseling efforts. According to the report, the average level of debt ranges between $4,500 and $12,000. In the fields of dentistry and medicine, this figure can rise to over $70,000.

"We felt it would be important for the University. to make a statement that this (incident) is unacceptable at the highest level of administration," said Barbara Ransby, a graduate student. Students at the meeting also said the flier violated housing leases because it threatened residents, and called for the guilty parties to be expelled from the dorm, if caught. "If you can remove a student for sexual threats or assault, it seems you should be able to remove a student for this," said James McGee, an LSA senior. Duderstadt said he was "not aware if housing or the Vice President for Student Services has information about who did it." He added that he would have to check with them and the University Council to determine what authority and ability the University would have to punish perpetrators. He said he would need to consult the other executive officers about an official condemnation. PENROD'S PARTY TOURS Ft. Lauderdale on Strip! $229.50 w/transportation $149.50 room only E AT-3002 LOWS AT U-M Duderstadt said action must go beyond a public condemnation of the incident and that the University is planning to implement a number of programs, including the recently unveiled $1 million affirmative action initiative, to combat racism on campus and increase minority student enrollment. "We are working on it right now and making it stronger than just a personal statement, but a policy statement of the executive officers and the president," Duderstadt said. WHILE students agreed that such minority programs must be implemented and expanded, they also felt that a statement from the administration as well as a formal investigation was necessary to curtail further racial controversies and clarify the University's position on racism. Students also proposed that the University implement a program on racism at orientation, create a more centralized and powerful minority affairs office, and require a course focusing on different cultures. Duderstadt said he would be proposing a list of minority affairs programs to the University's Board of Regents at their March meeting, and welcomed students' input. "I'm not aware of a lot of things at the University and I think it's true of a lot of executive officers, but that's why I want to talk with you," Duderstadt said. Kan dis Kumasi, LSA sophomore, said the failure to reach a level of 10 percent black student enrollment and the controversy over granting an honorary degree to Nelson Mandela demonstrated the administration's attitude about racism. Soviets change approach to human rights, leader says MOSCOW - Mikhail Gorbachev told an international peace conference, yesterday, the Soviet Union is changing its approach to' human rights "for all to see," but not because of Western pressure. The Kremlin leader repeated Soviet opposition to the American space-based defense project known as "Star Wars" and accused the White House of "trampling" on agreements he and President Reagan reached at: their 1985 Geneva summit to sour arms control negotiations. There will be "no second Noah's Ark for a nuclear deluge," he said. "We have rejected any right for leaders of a country, be it the U.S.S.R., the U.S. or another, to pass a death sentence on mankind." Ohioan tried for war crimes JERUSALEM - Retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk went on trial yesterday on charges he ran gas chambers at a Nazi death camp: where 850,000 Jews died. Demjanjuk, who says he is innocent, could face execution if convicted. He is only the second man to be tried in Israel on Nazi war crimes- charges. The government prepared for a showcase trial to teach young Israelis about the Holocaust during which 6 million Jews perished in German-run death camps. The indictment charges Demjanjuk was the notorious guard "Ivan the terrible" who beat and tortured victims before turning on the gas chamber engines at Treblinka, a death camp in German-occupied Poland in 1942 and 1943- Army may modernize dog tags WASHINGTON - The Army has soberly set out to modernize the process of handling the remains of fallen soldiers, convinced the military logistics of death have become outdated. Among the concerns that now are being discussed are how the" remains of soldiers killed as a result of nuclear, chemical or biological-' warfare should be recovered and handled; what new technologies are available for use in a war zone to assist in identification of remains, and x what can be done to automate the process of tracking remains through what is now a maze of paperwork. An unclassified executive summary has been released, disclosing recommendations to consider automating the Army's system for, indentifying and handling remains, including the purchase of mini- computers for graves reservation specialists. Shiites allow refugees food BEIRUT - Shiite Moslems lifted a four-month blockade yesterday and let food trucks enter two small Palestinian refugee camps in south Lebanon, but there was no indication of an end to the camp siege in Beirut. The United Nations said the four trucks unloaded 47 tons of flour, 90,000 cans of sardines and 564 canisters of skim milk in al-Bass and Bourj el-Shamali near the port of Tyre. Amal allowed a U.N. convoy carrying food to enter Beirut's Bourj el-Barajneh camp Saturday only after an equal amount of food was delivered to the surrounding Shiite slums. Shiite gunmen from Amal have blockaded the three camps 50 miles south of Beirut since Oct. 1 as part of a campaign to keep Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasser Arafat from regaining the Lebanese base he lost with the 1982 Israeli invasion.

He wakes up smiling, and when people ask, "How are you?" he always answers, "Great! !" He radiates positive thoughts. And it drives his friends nuts. "When I talk to people and I'm being happy and cheerful as usual, I get weirdness back," he said. "It would be nice once in a while to get together with people who are as happy as I am and just not hold back being the way I am." With that cheery thought, Nozik is starting a support group for happy people. "You never see or read anything about people who are just happy," he said. "Everything I see is about people having problems. Maybe if we can get a group like this together, we can find out what it is in their backgrounds that is a common thread." Three weeks ago, the 52-year-old ophthalmologist placed a newspaper advertisement seeking other "joyful, happy people." Six cheerful people called. The San Francisco Chronicle then carried an article about his plans and the phone began ringing off the wall.
