response to tightened security and com-
petition from countries, like Australia,
the United Kingdom and Canada, look-
ing to attract students with lower costs
and reduced paperwork.
"I can understand why students
may be diverted away (to Australia,
the United Kingdom or Canada)," said
Arsalan Ahmed, an Engineering soph-
omore from the United Arab Emirates.
"There is not a safety risk and it is com-
parably cheaper, but the question you
have to ask is, 'Do these places have the
opportunity that the U.S. does?"'
To compete for top international stu-
dents, the State Department and U.S.
universities have been trying to over-
come misconceptions about the visa
application process.
The State Department has worked to
streamline the visa process in the past few
years to "let international students know
that our welcome mat is out," said Laura
Tischler, spokeswoman for the Bureau of
Consular Affairs at the State Department.
"For the last two years, we have
instructed all of our overseas posts to

"The salary of our president is
appropriate, given the significance
of the job she has been asked to do,"
give priority to students and exchange
visitors," Tischler said in an e-mail.
"It is important to understand that
although there have been changes in
the ways in which visas are processed,
the eligibility requirements have not
changed," she added.
The vast majority of visa applica-
tions, about 75 percent, are now pro-
cessed within one or two days, said
Adam Meier, spokesman for the State
Department's Bureau of Education and
Cultural Affairs.
Meier also emphasized the ability of the
recruiting efforts of individual colleges
and deans to influence national trends.
The University maintained its 2004
ranking of seventh in total internation-
al student enrollment, hosting 4,632
students. The University of Southern
California ranked first for the fourth
consecutive year, with 6,846 students.
Nationwide, India continues to send
the most students abroad; reporting
80,000 students in 2004-05. China,
Korea, Japan and Canada were in the
top five and account for nearly half of
the international student body. Enroll-
ment totals for students from Asia rose
slightly overall, while the Middle East,
Europe, Africa and Latin America all
experienced declines.
The survey also reported that busi-
ness and management is the most
popular field of study for international
students, with 18 percent pursuing a
degree in this field, followed by engi-
neering with 16.5 percent and math-
ematics and computer sciences with 9
percent. These data reflect student sen-
timents at the University.
"I'm looking forward to making good
business connections, which will help
me in the later stages of my life," Goel
said. "That's why I'm here, because the
level of (undergraduate) education is
really no greater here (than in India) in
terms of coursework," he added.
In addition to the University's con-
tinued high rankings among business
schools, the University's commitment
to research and diversity also attracts
many international students.
"Two things struck me right away
on joining the University of Michigan
- the respect for diversity and the
very high quality of the graduate stu-
dent body on this campus," said Amit
Ahuja, a Rackham student from India.
The presence of international students
on U.S. campuses enhances students'
exposure to different cultures and per-
spectives and has a substantial economic
impact, said Rodolfo Altamirano, director
of the University's International Center.
Through tuition and living expenses,
international students contributed an
estimated $13.3 billion dollars to the
U.S. economy in the 2004-05 academic
year, according to the National Asso-
ciation of Foreign Student Advisers:
Association of International Educa-
tors. Seventy-two percent of interna-
tional students fund their education
from sources outside the United States,
mostly from personal funds.
Given the added financial burden
and sense of isolation international
students face, University programs and
resources like the International Center
and individual departments strive to
make students feel welcome.
"Basically, the quality of these
programs and services is top notch,"
Ahuja said. "Working and living away
from home for so many years has not
been a small challenge, but the Univer-
sity programs have made a significant
difference to the quality of my life on
this campus."
RIOTS
Continued from page 1
tion," Kostic said in an e-mail.
"Apparently, it is depicted as a
civil war or something."
French officials have been
widely criticized in the media for
neglecting the residents of Pari-
sian suburbs and other economi-
cally disadvantaged areas of the
country. The suburbs are largely
populated by poor ethnic minori-
ties, many from North African
and Arab countries, and have
some of the highest unemploy-
ment rates in the country.
Taoufik el Khazzani, a Moroc-
can who studied in France for five
years before coming to the Uni-
versity to complete his master's
degree, said though he did not
experience discrimination while
in France, it is widely known that
it is more difficult for individuals
with Arab or African last names
or addresses in immigrant neigh-
borhoods to get jobs.
He added that immigrant youths
often feel isolated in French soci-
ety because they tend to live in
segregated neighborhoods due to
high housing costs in the cities.
Riots occur every year, el Khaz-
zani said, but this year's riots are
unprecedented in their scope and
duration.
Kostic said the riots were
bound to happen because of the
move toward a more segregated,
"Americanized" social order in
France. The French ideal of an
egalitarian society is becoming
weaker, and with that comes less
money for social programs, espe-
cially education, for the poor and
immigrants, she said.
"We believed in social integra-
tion, and now, we're facing real-
ity," Kostic said. "I think it's a
dream that's falling, or failing."
McCarthy said she has not
witnessed any overt discrimina-
tion against immigrants during
her study-abroad experience but
said segregation is apparent at the
university where she is studying.
French students at the Institut d'
Etudes Politiques are almost
entirely white, McCarthy said,
although she added that the school
has recently begun to reach out to
poorer students.
McCarthy also said she believes
the U.S. media have mischaracter-
ized the participants in the riots
as mainly Muslim youths.
"The participants represent a
fairly diverse racial cross-section
of whites, Africans and Middle
Easterners," she said. "I imagine
American journalists are enjoy-
ing criticizing French race rela-
tions after the French fixation on
the same issues in America in the
wake of Hurricane Katrina."
Peterson said.
Coleman has been generous in donat-
ing to the University. To kick off the
Michigan Difference campaign, which
aims to raise $2.5 billion in donations,
she and husband Kenneth Coleman
pledged $500,000 to the University,
the largest gift of any of her predeces-
sors. The Colemnans are still paying
that donation at a clip of $100,000 a
year, Mary Sue Coleman said.
Coleman makes about twice as
much as Michigan State University
President Lou Anna Simon, who will
earn $340,000 this year.
The University also provides Cole-
man with a car and her three-story
house at 815 South University Ave.

ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Today's Full Moon hits the money part
of your chart. You might feel rich; you
might feel poor. You're definitely
focused on what you own and what
you're earning.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Today's Full Moon is in your sign.
This is the only time this will happen all
year. Of course you feel a bit more emo-
tional than usual. Mellow out; it's no big
deal - not really.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You might feel challenged when deal-
ing with authority figures, the govern-
ment and large institutions today. Do not
react to criticism from others. It's easy to
have self-doubt today. (Don't let this get
to you.)
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Difficulties with friends and groups
might arise today. Oppositional energies
are classic when there is a Full Moon.
Also, people identify strongly with their
own ideas. Be tolerant.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
This Full Moon day is a dicey day to
deal with parents, authority figures,
bosses and the like. Best to wait this one
out. In a day or two, you'll be much
you don't want to loan something; per-
haps you don't want to give something
away. Or perhaps you do!
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Conversations with partners and
friends are stressed today because of the
Full Moon. This Full Moon is directly
opposite your sign; therefore, be extra-
patient with everyone.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Co-workers are a bit demanding
today, as well as others you have to deal
with on the job. Today's Full Moon
brings added stress to individuals. This
could play out where you work. Be
patient.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Parents must be vigilant and patient
with children today. They feel today's
Full Moon just like you do.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
It will require more patience on your
part to keep the peace at home and
within your domestic sphere today.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day.
Today's Full Moon could make you
impatient, or it might distract you. Slow
down. Measure twice; cut once.
YOU BORN TODAY You're active,
ambitious and intelligent. You have a
