Some lower income students are being squeezed out as finan- cial aid does not relieve most of the eco- nomic burden. Consequently, the student body has be- come more affluent over the years. Ac- cording to data collected from SAT appli- cations, the estimated median family in- come for Michigan students has risen dra- matically since 1979. At that time, the estimated median income was $31,300; in 1983 the median increased to $46,300. Students at U-M have become not only economically advantaged but educational- ly enriched. Changes such as these have resulted in the new attitude prevalent on campus. -Annette Fernholz Like the passing season , Michigan students are experiencing many changes.
