              Preliminary Enrollment Increases Over Last Fall
By JANE L. MARCUS
H.«l Edit«»
The preliminary fall enrollment figures show an increase of 886 undergraduate and graduate students from last fall.
At this time last year, there were 10,010 undergraduate and 2,340 graduate students registered.
In comparison, this year preliminary figures show there are 10,750 undergraduates and 2,486 graduate students registered.
According to Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. William Butler, the preliminary report indicates that the University is improving not only in numbers, but in the re-
tention of students.
“There is no question that the ability to keep students has greatly improved by the efforts of not only the administration and faculty, but by students as well,” Dr. Clyde Wingfield, executive vice president for Academic Affairs and Provost said.
With the preliminary enrollment figures at an increase, the Undergraduate Student Body Government’s (USBG) proposed rebate plan could go into effect.
The tuition rebate plan, between USBG and the administration, stipulated that if USBG increased enrollment by a certain percentage, tuition would decrease.
In an effort to increase enrollment, the Admissions office intensifed their recruitment program this past summer.
“We’ve had some great support from the trustees as far as the budgeting committments; we are recruiting world-wide and intensifing efforts in 30 states,” Butler said
Besides the increase in students, the SAT scores at UM have increased. This fall the average was 980, compared to last fall’s 968.
The number of freshman students attending UM has also increased. According to the preliminary report, 2,182 freshmen entered this fall compared to 1,986 last fall.

Thirty five club representatives turned out for a promotional gathering sponsored by the Miller Brewing Company Tuesday night in the Rathskeller's Law Room.
The promo was designed to inform the various on-campus organizations of the company’s services.
The people who brew Lite Beer and Lowenbrau will no longer be conducting their pick-em-up recycling program, in which each par-
ticipating organization collected bottles for points.
“This is the beginning, we hope, of a series of programs designed to enhance student life here at UM,” said Benny Goodman, College Marketing Representative.
The clubs who collected the most points under last year’s program received their prizes Tuesday night.
The Environmental Club, a service organization, was awarded the grand prize: a Sony Betamax. AETT received $250.00 for coming in second.

The athletic department deficit and the living conditions in the apartment areas were both addressed by UM President Henry King Stanford in separate actions Wednesday.
Stanford directed Athletic Director Dr. Harry Mallios to prepare a plan to reduce the athletic department deficit to zero by May 1983. He gave Mallios between 60 and 90 days to prepare the plan.
Dave Lleberman, vice president of Financial Affairs said, “this is the reaffirmation of policy as established in the University’s five year plan. Now we are implementing teeth in that plan.”
That plan called for all auxiliary services, which include housing, food services, and athletics, to be operating at no deficit by May 1983.
“Time has passed, and the progress that was hoped to be achieved by now, hasn't been,” Lieberman said.
Stanford called for Mallios to establish a yearly schedule allowing for a gradual decrease in the deficit.
According to Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Paul Novack, first priority must be given to “cutting out the hard dollar cost to the University.”
The remainder of the deficit, which consists largely of tuition costs charged to athletic scholarships, muil be eliminated by the May 1983 deadline.
Stanford also appointed a committee to study the situation in the apartment area and prepare a report by October 31.
That report will be presented directly to the Management Committee for their consideration.
The committee will be chaired by Dr. William Butler, vice president for Student Affairs and consists of Richard Artman, assistant vice president of Student Affairs; Steve Ashman, UM Treasurer; Oliver Bonnert, Business Manager; Charles Cotterman, director of Facility Planning; Stefanie Keating, director for the Apartment Area; Harvey Rose, director of Physical Plant; Jack Sargent, director of Physical Environment for Residence Halls;

What was intended to be “the party of the semester,” turned into what one observer termed a “bloody free-for-all." One UM student was arrested. He and two members of UM Public Safety were injured in the process.
The 960 Toga Party took place last Friday night in the 960 Cafeteria. The fight took place after midnight.
UM sophomore Jim Roberts of the 960 Complex said, “It was pretty darn nice. Most of the folks were there to have a good time. A lot of partying and fun. I met some real nice people before the trouble started.”
The "trouble” that Roberts was referring to led to the arrest of UM student Robert Brown.
Brown, an engineering major, suffered injuries on the forehead from blows struck by an UM Security officer summoned to the scene.
Brown was booked on charges of: assaulting an officer, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly conduct and obstructing an officer.

According to Officer Steve Shields of UM Public Safety, Brown became involved when four officers noticed an individual fleeing, believed to be one of the instigators of the fight, which involved 15 to 25 people when Public Safety arrived.
Three officers attempted to pursue him but. according to Shields, the doorway was blocked by Brown. Two of the officers proceeded through, but Officer Patrick Condon was grabbed by Brown, according to Shields and, in the ensuing fight, had his shoulder and neck sprained.
Shields reported that it required four officers to subdue Brown. In addition to Condon, one other officer required hospital attention.
According to eyewitness Dave Sharp, Brown was in the process of evicting the individual pursued by Public Safety when they arrived, jumped to conclusions, and "turned a little thing into a bloody free-for-all.”
The subject pursued by Public Safety escaped while Brown was being subdued.
“The police were sober, the stu-' dents were not,” commented Shields.
Brown, unarmed, was struck with a billy club by Officer Condon.. began to bleed and had to be treated j for injuries at Jackson Memorial,
Hospital.
Preparations for the party had been going on for a week prior to the event. More than $300 was raised to pay for kegs of beer and other party favors.
“We wanted it to rival Home-
coming as a social event for the fall semester," said hostess Sue Khani.
“We wanted to bring together a lot of people that otherwise would never get to know each other. We just wanted everyone to have a good time,” Khani said.
