Steiner, Fleming, and several re-

Womack and Athletic Director Bo

In 1979, as the regents searched
for Fleming's replacement, former
Vice President for Academic Affairs
Allan Smith served as interim presi-
dent until Shapiro took over in
September, 1979.
Current Vice President for Gov-
ernment Relations and Secretary
Richard Kennedy said neither Smith
nor Fleming were caretakers. Flem-
ing spent time with the discrimina-
tory policy, Kennedy said, while
Smith worked on building a new
University Hospital.
Part of the reason for pushing the
policy, Fleming said, was "not to
have that hanging fire when the new
president comes in."
MSA Vice President Overdorf
said Duderstadt will have to deal
with "the hardest thing" - the pol-

icy's implementation. But she added
that Fleming knew he was leaving,
so "it was easier for (Fleming), be-
cause he knew he didn't have to deal
with the stigma."
On Sept. 1, Fleming left the
University once again, making room
for new President James Duderstadt.
Fleming said he and his wife, Sally,
will live in Ann Arbor until next
January, when they will take their
annual trip to Florida. Fleming,
however, says he "flunked retire-
ment," and plans to consult for
foundations around the country.
During his first tenure, the Uni-
versity suffered the effects of the
Vietnam War. "There was a great
deal more turbulence over many dif-
ferent causes in the '60s and '70s,"
Fleming said. "Vietnam triggered a
lot of different reactions... the draft,
merits of our being in Vietnam,

reliability of public officials."
"There was a much greater dispo-
sition toward violence -.property
destruction, dangers of fires, and that
kind of activity - than there is
now," he said.
Today, Fleming said, college of-
ficials spend more time with admin-
istrative procedures and less with
academic affairs.
"Now, the president is more of a
mayor or city manager," Fleming
said. "In a sense, we have a city of
35 thousand, with a very diverse
constituency. You have your far left,
your far right, and all sorts of points
in between. There's nothing you can
do which will please everybody."
"More and more time is used up
on municipal affairs - housing,
feeding, what place athletics should
play," he said. "In a way, it's less
satisfactory to the traditional presi-
dents, who didn't come in with
aspirations to be a city manager.
They wanted it to be truly an aca-
demic community."

Students whose annual family
income is less than $30,000 are no
longer automatically eligible for
financial aid, under a provision of
the act.
Over the last two academic years
other federal laws have changed,
Bailey said, making application
procedures more complicated.
"Students interested in or only
eligible for the GSL (Guaranteed
Student Loan) now face additional
application requirements. The forms
themselves have been lengthened
with additional questions to allow
for the changes in the law," Bailey
said.

Because all aid administered by
the OFA is determined on the basis
of financial need, any change in
one's financial resources may affect
eligibility for aid. Federal
regulations and policies dictate that
students cannot receive aid in excess
of their financial need, and conflicts
do arise.
Cho continued her work-study job
last spring at the Parent-Child
Nursing Center through the
University. She was limited to
earning $300 for the term. After she
earned her limit, the center's director
asked her to remain as a temporary
employee.
Cho, who was not registered for
summer classes but wants to earn
money this term, was not able to
accept the position because a

financial aid assistant said her aid
statuswould suffer from accepting
University employment.4
"Although I wasn't taking
classes, I still needed to make money
for rent, bills, and living expenses,"
Cho said. "It's stupid that I couldn't
work for the University without
jeopardizing my aid. Other people
who really didn't need the money as
much could have taken the job
instead. Sometimes the policies
make no sense."'
University students received 4
$35.8 million in financial aid during
the 1987-88 school year. Of this
amount:
"$22 million came from the
federal government
"$3.4 million came from the state
-$10.4 million came from the
University
