We present correlations between global mass function slope and a wide variety of cluster parameters ranging from surface brightness and central density to cluster radius to metallicity. The mass functions extend from the MSTO (at approximately 0.7 solar masses) down to our completeness limit around 0.2 to 0.3 solar masses with global behavior of the clusters extrapolated from the local observations using King models for the non-core collapse clusters. The correlations suggest than the mass function is strongly influenced by interactions with the Galaxy.
