Opportunity From Adversity Cont. faculty rallied in support of the doomed department, however, it soon became obvious that the necessary courses could be retained without a departmental structure. Other pro- grams faced similar reorganization in an effort to increase quality in the remain- ing area of study. Thus, in order to keep the academic fire burning, the University concentrat- ed on maintaining competitive salaries and a research environment that would attract a top quality faculty. Though professors ' salaries could never keep pace with those of the private sector, it was felt that an environment of aca- widely expressed by faculty and aminis- trators alike, that the Graduate Library ' s extensive collections in a wide range of diverse topics, acted as a magnet to educational dignitaries. In the face of soaring maintenance costs, however, administrative officials had been forced to re-evaluate the importance of our prized book assemblage. Ultimately, the University reaffirmed the library ' s immense importance and opted to hike their fiscal budget by nearly 16% over 1980-81 levels. In return, the li- brary chose to reduce some of its own costs by joining an inter-library loan cooperative known as the Research Li- braries Group.

Other than salaries, one of the Uni- versity ' s greatest pedagogical lures has always been the extensive library sys- tem which graces the Ann Arbor cam- pus.

Besides the library system, research projects provide a strong incentive for faculty to remain at Michigan. The $129 million that U-M earmarked for re- search projects in 1980-81 places it be- hind only MIT in terms of volume. Un- fortunately, Reagan ' s federal cuts had not left the University ' s experimenta- tion unscathed. A 12% general budget cut in 1981 placed a new emphasis on basic research, and developmental re- search was reduced to only 5% of the entire amount of research being done. The students of the 1980 ' s were forced to face the economic realities of our time as well. Students found them- selves grappling with an increased fi- nancial burden as tuition rose to $910 per term for in state residents. On the home front, dismal job markets in- duced heightened awareness of the economic woes of our time. In recent years, as the cost of a college education (continued on page 7) -K.
