Tuition hike may
reach 9
By MARTHA SEVETSON
Special to the Daily
'DEARBORN - Students may
face a tuition hike of close to 10
percent next fall if the state House
of Representatives and Senate pass
an expected $12.9 million budget
allocation to the University next
month.
Although the House recently
approved a $15 million allocation,
Provost and Vice president of Aca -
demic Affairs James Duderstadt told
the University's Board of Regents
yesterday that he believes the final
allocation will be closer to Gover -
nor Blanchard's $11.6 million
limit.
According to Duderstadt, the
University needs a budget of at least
$24 million. He added that an
additional $21 million is necessary
to meet financial obligations,
which include the initiative to im -
prove undergraduate life, the new
contract for University teaching as -
sistants and imnroved laboratorv
percent
equipment.
Each department in the Univer -
sity will receive only 99 percent of
its budget from last year and will be
expected to finance the remaining
one percent through internal fund
reallocation, Duderstadt said. But
the $28.3 million gap, calculated
by Duderstadt, between revenues
and expenditures will not be filled
by these proposed measures.
"This indicates we will be rather
heavily dependent upon tuition in -
creasea this year. Tuition is almost
a non-entity for a Michigan resi -
dent," said Duderstadt.
"We can't erase a general funding
gap simply by shuffling money
from one component to another,"
he added. "We may simply not be
able to meet some of the important
needs of the institution."
In addition, a seven percent pro -
jected increase in faculty salaries
will be reduced to five percent.

Charles Moody, a University
professor of education, was appoint -
ed this week as the University's
first vice provost for minority af -
fairs after a three month selection
process.
Moody replaces NiaraSudarkasa
who left her post as Associate Vice
President for Minority Affairs last
January to assume the presidency of
Lincoln University. The position
has been vacant since then although
she announced her intent to leave in
November.
After an advisory committee
composed of faculty, students, a-
lumni, and Ann Arbor residents
presented their reccomendation to
Vice President of Academic Affairs
and Provost James Duderstadt, he
presented the final recommendation
to the Board of Regents yesterday.

AppIications to 'U'
hit record
By TED BLUM
For the fourth year in a row, the
University's Office of Admissions
received a record number of first-
year student applications for admis-
sion into the University.
b Student applications to the Uni -
versity increased by 10 percent over
last year, topping last year's record
number of 17,413 applicants. Of
the19,185 students who applied this
year, only 4,500 will enroll, mak -
ing this the most competitive selec -
tion process the University has
seen.
According to admissions coun -
selor James Vanhecke, this trend is
reflective of a nation-wide increase
in the numbers of students applying
to colleges throughout the country.
"In the past students applied to
only one or two schools, but now
they apply to four or five. Students
are more consumer-oriented; they
high
look to find the most marketable
place," said Vanhecke.
Because the University has
seventeen different colleges - all
ranked nationally in the top ten -
Vanhecke thinks it has become
known for its credibility and high
academic standards.
Applicants are evaluated on the
basis of their SAT or ACT results,
their grade point average, the qua -
lity of their secondary school, and
the level of their curriculum. Ac -
cording to Vanhecke, the require -
ments for in-state residents are not
significantly easier than for out-of-
state students.
The College of Literature, Sci -
ence, and the Arts received 14,074
applications, the largest amount of
any college at the University. The
number of applicants to the School
of Natural Resources increased by
