The University is fail-
ing to make itself accessible
to low-income students,
according to a new study of
flagship state universities.
The report gave the
University an F in the cat-
egory of low-income student
access.
It averaged a C overall in
the categories of low-income
student access, minority
student access and minority
success. No school earned
an A.
The Education Trust,
which issued the Universi-
ty's report card, is an orga-
nization that researches
achievement disparities
between low-income and
minority students and oth-
ers.
Danette Gerald, who co-
authored the report, said
the goal of the report was to
measure how well a school's
student body reflects the

Thousands attend
memorial at

On a crisp fall afternoon
that would have been perfect
for a football game, thousands
of fans gathered inside Michi-
gan Stadium yesterday to
remember legendary Michi-
gan football coach Bo Schem-
bechler, who died Friday at
age 77.
Speakers at the memorial,
held the day after Schem-
bechler's private funeral,
included University President
Mary Sue Coleman, current
football coach Lloyd Carr and
Schembechler's son, Glenn
"Shemy" Schembechler.
Jim Brandstatter, who
played for Schembechler in
the late 1960s and now hosts
the "Michigan Replay" TV
show, officiated the memo-
rial.
Thousands of people came
to the ceremony. Most sat in
front of the press box, but
some were scattered through-
out the massive bowl.
Just like at a football game,
former players and coaches,
family members and others
came onto the field through
the tunnel. Passing under the
"Go Blue" banner. Meanwhile,
the marching band played
"The Victors" several times.

Contest asks
students how to
improve campus
ergonomics
By KIRSTY MCNAMARA
Daily StaffReporter
Anyone who has ever been
distressed by the water flow
rate of the drinking foun-
tains on campus or has taken
issue with the concavity of
the cereal bowls in the dorm
cafeterias might appreciate
a recent contest held by the
University's Human Factors
and Ergonomics Society.
The contest served to
uncover the most poorly
designed items and fixtures
at the University by looking
at them from a human per-
spective.
"Whendesigninganobject,
you consider the mechanical,
chemical or electrical com-
ponents, but human factors
include the people in the
equation," said Mike Bauerly,
former president of the ergo-
nomics society.
One entry detailed the
inconvenience of the metal
box that envelops the card
swiper outside of Couzens
Residence Hall, making it
hard to quickly swipe the
card. Another documented
the multicolored mouse pads
in the Duderstadt Center,
which cause the optical mice
to function poorly. Another
entry derided the shape of
the bowls in the campus din-
ing halls.
"The bowls work fine for
viscous occupants such as
applesauce and pudding but
do not hold liquids such as
soup well," the entry said.
"The design flaw with the
bowls is that they are not
concave enough, resulting
in any jostling of the dinner
tray spilling the liquid. The
