The halls, which normally house 4,400 students. had roughly 200 vacancies this year, indicating a declining interest in on-campus housing. Bill Kingston, HFS director, said that residence halls draw up their budgets on the basis of a 90 percent capacity figure; since the halls were 95 percent full, residents did not experience an increase in housing costs. Housing and Food Services receives no federal or UW financial aid. so directors planned a marketing campaign to draw in more students in future years.

fc ■ NOVEMBER The Office of Minority Affairs welcomed a new vice president, Robert Pozos, after the former vice president. Herman Lujan, was promoted to vice provost. Pozos came from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, where he had served as chairman of the Department of Physiology since 1971. The Hispanic American advocated an ethnic studies course for all students as a requirement for graduation. He said the course would expose white students to minority cultures and minorities to other cultures, helping to strengthen race relations. According to Pozos, At a university with cultural understanding, there can be an active. dynamic and respectful exchange of ideas.” Vice President George Bush of Texas defeated Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts in the 1988 Presidential election with 53 percent of the popular vote. Sixty-four-year-old Bush drove tractors, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, visited a flag factory and performed countless sound bites after the campaign began in October 1987. Chief Republican rivals of Bush included Senator Robert Dole of Kansas and former television evangelist Pat Robertson. Defeated by Dole in the Iowa caucuses in February, Bush quickly recaptured momentum with a string of primary victories leading up to the Republican National Convention in August. A major campaign issue was Bush's involvement in the Iran-Contra affair in which the G.S. government secretly sold weapons to Iran and then used the profits to assist the contras in Nicaragua. Bush claimed he did not know anything about the deal and got upset when people kept asking about it. Bush promised the voters, read my lips: no new taxes. and also promised not to increase present taxes. Aides later confessed that probably wouldn't be possible. A controversy erupted when Bush chose Senator Dan Quayle of Indiana as his running mate. The media alleged that Quayle used his family's influence to avoid the draft by serving in the National Guard during the Vietnam war.
