The University has accounts with
the Boersma, Conlin, Expert, Land-
mark, Lovejoy-Tiffany, Regency,
and Travel Center agencies, several
companies in Flint and Dearborn,
and car rental companies.
University Assistant Director for
Purchasing and Auxiliary Bob Rus-
sell said these companies were cho-
sen because they comply with the
University's guidelines, such as of-
fering guaranteed lowest rates, a 24-
hour toll free hotline, free ticket de-
livery, and advanced seating to Uni-
versity patrons.
Almost 2,000 to 3,000 of the
University's 15,000 to 18,000 staff
and faculty members are travelers,
Russell said. The policy affects
those needing to travel for research
purposes the most, he added.

Internship fair gives
students head start
By STEVEN FELDMAN
During the University's first in-
ternship fair yesterday, a panel of
students, alumni, and professors
spoke to an audience of nearly 40
students about various available in-
ternship programs.
Kerin McQuaid, of the Career
Planning and Placement Office, said
the main goal of the fair was to en-
courage student participation in in-
ternships that enable them to get
"hands on" experience from seven
different program representatives.
One speaker, Eric Winiecke, a
Residential College junior and stu-
dent coordinator for the Business In-
ternship Program, described his ex-
periences in a political science pro-
gram in Washington D.C. and a
business internship in Chicago.
Winiecke said the Washington
program was "a very interactive
group experience." The Chicago
business internship demanded indi-
vidual effort and was "more rugged,"
he said.
Pamela Qualls, the business
school's assistant director of Admis-
sions and Student Services, agreed
that business internships are
demanding. But she said they are a
necessary career move for most
business students.
"Approximately 80 percent of
students in the school of business
will participate in internships,"
Qualls said. "They need to have ex-
posure in the fields they're going
into."
Natural Resources Prof. William
Stapp spoke about the Rouge River
Water Quality Project - a n
internship designed to get Detroit-
area high school students involved
with ecological concerns. Stapp also
praised the other internship programs
at the fair and the opportunities they
present to students.
"It is essential to put theory and
practice together. Either one alone is
not sufficient," Stapp said.

State officials challenge out-of-state ratio
JEAN

University Vice President for
Government Relations Richard
Kennedy said the problem stemmed
from a decline in the number of
Michigan high school students, as
well as a rising number of highly
qualified applicants from out-of-
state.
"There is a legitimate concern on
the part of the legislature on the
University's role in providing
educational opportunities for its
residents," Kennedy said. "The ratio
needs to be understood by people -
why it is what it is and what steps
might be taken. They will be
determined by what we conclude is
the University's role in higher edu-
cation."
During the past month, the
University's Office of Academic
Planning and Analysis has drafted its
own report on the in-state/out-of-
state ratio. The report, which will be
presented to the regents later this
month, explains the issues and the
history of the dispute.
"(The report) may be used as
some of the basis for our discussions
in Lansing," Kennedy said. "It deals
largely with historic trends in out-of-
state enrollment."
Kennedy said that out-of-state
enrollment approached 50 percent in
the 1800s and declined to 30 percent
in the 1920s. In the early 70s, the
baby boom pushed in-state
applications up, and out-of-state
enrollment shrunk to 20 percent.
Since then, out-of-state
enrollment has grown, and
University officials agree that the
admissions policy may need
modifications as the number of
Michigan high school students
continues to shrink.
"The demographics show that
there are problems ahead," said
Robin Jacoby, an aide to University
President Harold Shapiro. "But our
applications have kept rising so
far... that makes it a little hard for
some people to take (a shrinking
pool of applicants) seriously."
Robert Holmes, the University's
assistant vice president for academic
affairs, is assembling a University
committee of nine faculty members
and administrators and one student to
review the current admissions pol-
icy.

In 10 years, we may be seeing

Don't wait in slow lines
for fast food.
It takes an all-star team to build an all-star company; and
Watkins-Johnson has one of the most impressive rosters
around. Our winning gameplan is executed by talent from
some of the nation's finest schools, who've joined together
to develop leading-edge microwave systems and compo-
nents for defense, communications and commercial applica-
tions.
Collective brainstorming and interdisciplinary interaction has
always been Watkins-Johnson's formula for success. in
1986 alone, it enabled us to add 145 new items to our
product line, and watch sales figures rise to more than
$255 million (10% over 1985).
Team spirit has its advantages. From day one, you'll be an
active contributor to key projects. Plus, by gaining exposure
to many areas of operations, you'll be able to leam faster
and assume responsibility sooner
