Enrollment st By The Associated Press Clemson University's past two years of record < rollments have strained the school's ability to serve its students, a school official said. This year, Clemson enrolled 17,295 students, an i time high in the school's 102-year history, Frank G< try, assistant dean of admissions and registration, si Monday. But headaches accompany such a large number students when it comes to finding places to house a feed them and asking professors to increase their cl; loads, Gentry said. "It is a good problem to have ? much better tl the other side of that coin where you have under* rollment and facilities that aren't being used," Gen said. "But we don't want to, in any way, diminish Leaders discuss woannnc T VUJJUllkJ By the Associated Press | President Bush on Tuesday wrapped a reassuring arm around Mikhail Gorbachev, declaring the embattled Soviet leader is the man the United States will "deal with" in renewed talks to reduce longrange nuclear weapons. In their first face-to-face meeting since the abortive Soviet coup three months ago, Bush also promised food and other humanitarian aid to help Gorbachev's economically weak nation. But he gave no indication at their joint news conference that he was prepared to provide direct financial assistance. Together, Bush and Gorbachev will open the historic Mideast peace conference on Wednesday. And after their two-hour lunch Tuesday they appealed to Arabs and Israelis to reconcile their differences. Bush used the news conference to stress his respect for the Soviet leader and his determination to keep working with him in the face of pressure from individual Soviet republics for separate dealings with the United States. "I have had a history of very satisfactory negotiations with Presi- ^.... r dent Gorbachev," Bush said. He K said his administration and the American people support Gorbachev in seeking Soviet reform, "and so we'll deal with what's there. And I am very happy to see my friend again." Despite the coup attempt, which left Gorbachev under arrest for I three days, Bush said, "I sense no difference in how we talk and the frankness with which we exchange views; no difference, certainly from my standpoint, in the respect level for President Gorbachev." Gorbachev bristled when a So- y viet reporter asked who was in charge in Moscow while he was in Madrid. "I'm still the president," ' said Gorbachev, who faces challenges to his power from the restive republics. "Nobody's taking my place." r As for arms reductions, Bush said, "Our schedules are very close." He said he would send Undersecretary of State Reginald Bartholomew and other U.S. experts to Moscow to try to bridge differences in the sweeping proposals the two leaders made last month. F He said the two men want to go forward with ratification of two existing arms control treaties covering long-range nuclear weapons and conventional forces in Europe. 1 "There's nothing to worry ab- C out," Gorbachev said of the differ- ? ences in approach. He was as casual in describing his own post-coup position: "I 2 didn't lose my balance then and I ? haven't lost it now." ? Bush in September and then Gorbachev earlier this month an nounced the scrapping of thou- ot sands of short-range nuclear wea- g pons and called for prompt negoti m f ations to reduce U.S. and Soviet stockpiles of long-range weapons, or even beyond the terms of the ? Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty m they signed in Moscow in July. * _ CO However, Gorbachev went ? further than Bush and urged also a cessation of underground nuclear ? tests, a proposition that received a " cool reception at the Pentagon. ? tk Evidently, the two leaders cut * no deals over lunch. But both said ^ their positions were extremely ? close. "And now," Bush said, " "what we've got to do is iron out ? more details, have more ^ discussion." w rains Clemson quality of education." ;n_ Nick Lomax, vice president for student affairs, sa; ap the large enrollment has strained food service, housir and parking, but the school is doing the best it a jp. with the money it has.
