Faculty questions policy (Continued from Page 1) 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. The Michigan Daily-Friday, October 2, 1987-Page 5 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 -L U C P ON TY -- -- (Continued from Page 1) 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. 0 R FMILWAUKEE'S BEST N 1/2 BARREL E $23.95 R +Deposit + Tax 1665=4431-- THURSDAY OCTOBER 2 2 Scheduling officials cite CRISP's efficiency i Y (Continued from Page 1) during this time.
