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

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
