Greek Theater in Denver's Civic Admissions head leaves post By DAVID WEBSTER When Clifford Sjogren, the University's director of undergraduate admissions, leaves his position on July 1, 1988, he will leave behind a department facing some important problems. Sjogren, who has held the top admissions post since 1973, said he is resigning "to pursue other interests in the area of admissions" but would not elaborate on his future plans. James Duderstadt, University provost and vice president for academic affairs, credits Sjogren with leading the admissions office through a period of change. "(Sjogren's) successor is going to be faced with some very challenging issues," said Keith Molin, director of University communications. "The whole process of college admissions is changing." The first problem facing Sjogren's successor will be a decline in the number of college-age students, both in Michigan and nationwide. This decrease in eligible students is expected to continue for at least five more years, according to Robert Holmes, assistant vice pres- ident for academic affairs. Holmes said Sjogren has been successful in at- tracting quality students to the University despite the shrinking pool of eligible students. This year's first- year class has "the highest academic credentials of any incoming freshman class in the history of admissions at the University," Holmes said. But, because there will be fewer high school graduates in the coming years, Sjogren's successor will be faced with an increasing problem. In order to maintain the University's high academic standards, the new director will have to more actively compete with other colleges for top notch students. Another problem facing the new director will be the University's mix of in- and out-of-state students. The University has been under pressure from the state legislature to decrease its out-of-state enrollment. Holmes said the University has been admitting "a somewhat increased percentage of in-state students." But he also said the number of out-of-state applicants has "increased markedly." If the number of qualified applicants graduating from Michigan high schools continues to decrease, the University may risk its high academic reputation in order to admit more in-state students. The alternative would be to admit more out-of-state students to compensate for the decrease in in-state applicants. A i] Sjogren ... leaves admissions office Center Park.

Local gr By JEFF ARCHER "Recycling" may seem like a buzzword from the 70s, but it is alive and well in Ann Arbor where reused newspapers save nearly 30,000 trees a year. For several years, the city has been at the forefront of the state's recycling efforts, this year receiving an award from the Michigan Recycling Coalition. The recycling effort, called Re- cycle Ann Arbor, has been organized as part of the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, a non-profit organization founded in 1970, which strives to protect the environment. ORIGINALLY, the recycling organization was formed and run solely by volunteers, but in 1981 the group merged with the Ecology Center and the combined effort began to receive funding from the city. Recycle Ann Arbor currently Hispanic1 (Continued from Page 1) As an example of this, Gonzalez pointed to a lack volunteers and attendants for programs sponsored by MSS like dances and guest lecturers. Gonzalez attributes low turn-outs to these events to academic pressures. "(Hispanic students) want to excel so much they overlook things." In order to increase Hispanic unity on campus, Gonzalez said SALSA will hold a mass meeting sometime next week to recruit new members. She said the group also plans to begin support services for new Hispanic students and to initiate a dialogue with the admissions depart- ment officials on how to increase Hispanic representation on campus. Hispanics make up two percent of the University's total student body. But even SALSA's efforts, Gonzalez feels that any move toward unity must come from individual Hispanic students. She said they should take the initiative to meet other Hispanics on campus. "I know of Hispanic students who ou revivo collects newspapers, glass, tin, aluminum, and motor oil from curb- sides monthly. The collection serves all of the city's 20,000 single family residences. The center also manages a per- manent recycling station at at 2050 S. Industrial Highway where res- idents may drop off materials. Although generally satisfied with the success of Ann Arbor's "state of the art recycling organization," Jeryl Davis, the project's promoter at the Ecology Center, wishes the that the University would take a larger part in local recycling efforts. The Uni- versity does not currently sponsor any recycling plans. THE PROBLEM with such an effort at the University, Davis explains, is that Recycle Ann Arbor cannot handle the load. She would like to see students run a recycling effort at the University, but says this is difficult to organize because a student-run project must be re- established each year. Third-year Natural Resource student Dianne Sotak is trying to reorganize the school's Recycling Club. The club will be limited in its initial scope, but hopes to be a pilot for recycling efforts at the Univer- sity. The first meeting of the Re- cycling Club is planned for October 5. CURRENTLY Recycle Ann Arbor is the sole large-scale recycling organization in the city. Even without giving curb-side collection service to the University or Ann Arbor's multi-family residences, Recycle Ann Arbor still collects approximately 2,500 tons of recyclable material yearly. The effect of this is to significantly cut back the depletion of the city's available land fill areas, which are expensive to maintain. Per ton, the recycling of the materials costs less than what the maintenance of it in a landfill would be. Aside from the economic ad- vantage, the efforts of Recycle Ann Arbor have had significant en- vironmental impacts. The yearly tonnage of collected material helps slow the depletion of natural re- sources. The 2,500 tons collected results in saving nearly 30,000 trees, as well as reducing oil and water wastage. Also, nearly 50,000 tons of air pollutants are avoided by the city's efforts. Although the truck drivers and toe administrative personnel of the Eco- logy Center of Ann Arbor are paid by the city, much of the recycling work is done by volunteers,,who assist both in the collection of the materials and in the distribution of information about recycling. es recycling efforts Leaders dis a have never met other Hispanics ex- cept in class," she said. Martinez feels that cultural di- versity among Hispanics themselves is a major barrier to unity. She said Hispanics can be broken down into Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and many other subdivision, each with its own background and values. "We have more diversity in our group than others." Martinez also said the existence of many small exclusive groups like the Latin American, Native American Medical Association and the Hispanic Law Student Association also hinder unity. "If we could center more a- round ethnicity and culture than around careers, we'd be more uni- fied." Martinez also said that the various Hispanic groups have pulled together in past to achieve common goals. She said three years ago Hispanic groups joined forces CHHE and worked for the creation of the Latino Studies Department. Hernandez said that CHHE is still kgree on we{ working on objectives beneficial to Hispanic students. She said CHHE's role is to identify the prdblems that exist in the Hispanic community and to determine what can be done to address them. CHHE will be holding a mass meeting Oct. 8 from 7:00 to 9:00 Lek .' p.m. in the Michigan Unioni's Wolverine Room. Hernandez said the group will continue working with the admin- istration to address the demands of the latino community. "Although we are still working with them there is a lot of work to be done," she said. effect Cornerstone CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Students Dedicated to Knowing and Communicating Jesus Christ!
