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. R By VICKI BAUER 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. See STATE, Page 10 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 See POOL Pure 2 _ Row, row, row your boat Grace Bush, a Washtenaw Community College student, and David Mercer, an Eastern Michigan University student, canoe Wednesday on the Huron River at Gallup Park.
