0 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 10,1989 REPORT Continued from Page 1 that Michigan residents felt the high number of out-of-state students ad- mitted to the University denied some state high school students access to a University of Michigan degree. The University agreed to cut its out-of-state enrollment from 38 per- cent of total enrollment to no more than 30 percent by 1991. "The pressure (to cut out-of-state enrollment) comes from parents of graduating high school students with high marks - 3.4 and above - who can't understand why there isn't room for their students at the University of Michigan," said Michigan Sen. Robert Geake (R- Northville). Between 1984 and 1988, the University's out-of-state enrollment increased by 2,150 students while in- state enrollment fell by 643 stu- dents. Despite the legislators com- plaints, Ballenger said the results show that "most citizens, two-thirds according to this poll, say the University of Michigan has a good program... and favoritism should not be given to in-state students even though their taxes are going to sub- sidize the state school." Inside Michigan Politics regu- larly commissions surveys on issues in the state legislature. The one-question survey asked, "As you may know, 38 percent of the students attending the University of Michigan are from out of state. "Some feel that U-M should be required to reduce its percentage of out-of-state enrollment allowing more Michigan residents to attend because the University is partially supported by state taxes." The survey continued, "Others feel the state should not tell the University how to run its affairs. Out-of-state students pay a higher tu- ition rate and enhance the national image of the state and of the University of Michigan. "What is your opinion? Do you feel that the University of Michigan should or should not be required to reduce its percentage of out-of-state students?"

Only two percent of today's col- leges have a core curriculum, Sullivan said. The curriculum is intended for students of all majors. "I think we can safely argue that engineers should know the meaning of Shakespeare's plays as well as English majors should know how electromagnetism works," explained Noel Milan, an assistant for media relations at NEH. The report pointed to specific aspects of six different institutions as role models for curriculum changes. Lauded were Brooklyn College of New York; Columbia University; St. John's College in Maryland and New Mexico; Piedmont Virginia Community College; and the University of North Texas. Prospects for instituting a similar curriculum at the University of Michigan look slim, however. "I don't feel that there is a groundswell for a tighter core curriculum," said Sociology Prof. Gayl Ness, chair of the faculty's Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs,. "If anything, there is a movement for one that is more broad-based." Ness said if a change were to oc- cur, it would have to occur in the LSA college. "LSA is the flagship of the University and the center of higher education at Michigan," he said. - It's Iere -- -- 4890 Washtenaw 1 mie east of US 23 434-7500 C A wagI,$na + o e IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Hungary's communists keep chief BUDAPEST - The Communist Party has changed its name and em- braced democratic aspirations, but its members retained the head of the old party in a compromise vote yesterday. Delegates to the closed session said Rezsoe Nyers was chosen as head of the Hungarian Socialist Party's collective presidency after dissatisfied reformers reluctantly agreed to support him. The party congress adopted a manifesto pledging commitment to democracy and a break with the Marxist-Leninist orientation of its Com- munist predecessor. Despite the stated commitment to democracy, reformist delegates have expressed concern that the new party does not differ sufficiently from-its predecessor. The choice of Nyers to continue as leader was expected to in- crease the anxiety of some who wanted a clean break with the past. Pro-democracy groups continue marches in Berlin BERLIN - Thousands of demonstrators marched and shouted "We Need Freedom!" in Leipzig yesterday while others held a pro-democracy vigil in East Berlin during East Germany's biggest outbreak of street protests in decades, witnesses and news reports said. Witnesses said up to 50,000 East Germans demanding democratic re- forms paraded through Leipzig last night. They said many police, includ- ing some in gas marks, were deployed, but no violence was reported. Before the march, officials of Leipzig Communist Party promised pub- licly they would push for an open dialogue between citizens and the gov- ernment, Lutheran church sources said. In East Berlin, several thousand demonstrators gathered in front of the Lutheran Gethsemane Church for the pro-democracy vigil, West German media reported. Michigan's unemployment rate leads industrial states DETROIT - A loss of 47,000 jobs gave Michigan the highest unemployment rate among large industrial states in September, and soft auto sales are likely to keep it that way, some economists said yesterday. "When the automotive industry gets sick, the state catches pneumonia, and we're going through another one of those periods of weakness in the automobile industry," said David Verway, business professor at Wayne State University. While Michigan jumped from a 6.9 percent to an 8.1 percent rate, Texas, which led industrial states for most of the year with rates in the 7- percent range, cased to 6.3 percent. Other than swapping with Texas, Michigan's place in the national employment picture hasn't changed dramatically, said Von Logan, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission's bureau of research and statistics. Probe finds rushed HUD loans WASHINGTON - Federal HUD officials approved $35 million in loans the last day of fiscal 1988 in an apparent rush to spend the money before it was transferred to another program, according to auditors and agency documents. Most of the Section 312 multifamily housing loans were approved de- spite incomplete applications or processing, according to auditors who al- tered the department's general counsel to the questionable loans. "Where commitments were made they were honored, but (HUD) will not be making conditional commitments in the future," said Housing and Urban Development spokesperson Jack Flynn. Section 312 multifamily housing loans totaling more than $40 mil- lion were approved in the final month of fiscal 1988 - out of about $100 million budgeted for the entire fiscal year - including $35.3 million on Sept. 30, 1988, the final day of the budget year, according to HUD records. EXTRAS Man adopts 'war hero' image to cover a lifetime of failure SALT LAKE CITY - Nancy Fife never doubted her husband had been scarred in mind and body by his Viet Cong captors, that he was a tar- nished and troubled war hero. The night nearly 20 years ago, when her sneakers seemed to drive ,Robert Fife berserk, was all the proof she needed. Fife told her later that his captors used to wear sneakers when they beat hin, and that the enemy soldier he strangled when he escaped also was wearing canvas shoes. But Fife had never been to Vietnam war hero. Misled by Fife, his therapist, Dr. Corydon Hammond, concluded that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was "very much a casu- alty of the Vietnam War." His image, maintained through 23 years of marriage to cover feelings of a lifetime of failure, was shattered only when his widow tried to have his name included on the state's Vietnam War Memorial.

"That's good for private in- stitutions but bad for public univer- sities because we receive much of our resources from state and federal aid." In an effort to make national rankings more objective, this is the second year the magazine has used statistical data in its study. Previously, academic reputation was the only criteria. Harrison said both these methods are flawed because of a difficulty "in making fine differentiations between the best schools." 0* .~ DO YOU... /specialize in word processing w t r A t 'I aft £'.At6n 11 Vi R I : I /run a test preparation service OR furnish resumes?
