The decision yesterday followed a vigorous debate in which Regent Alvin Bentley suggested that public forums might "turn into sessions of expert badgering.", "I don't seehow the student body will benefit in any way from this," Bentley added. University President Robben W. Fleming called the forum discussions a "constructive proposal." According to an inform- ed source, Fleming is "pushing hard for their adoption."

New Protest at Apartments Ltd.; Sudent icketsEnter Buidn Decisions Left To Local Boards 'Older First' Draft Rule Maintaied; Ministry Studeitts Also Deferred WASHINGTON (R) -- The Johnson administration refused yesterday to allow draft deferments for graduate study in any fields but those prescribed by law -- medicine and the minis- try. At the same time, the administration eliminated some support for occupational deferments by suspending the of- ficial list of essential activities and critical occupations used as a guideline by draft boards. The directive applies to incoming and first year graduate students - including the estimated 400,000 male students re- ceiving their bachelor's degrees this year. From now on, each local board decides on its own, in each individual case, what constitutes an essential or critical activity and what doesn't.

When the pickets entered the building they were asked to leave by a man who identified himself as one of the owners of the build- ing. Milgrom refused, insisting the arcade was an "open, public pas- sageway." 'One Recourse' The owner, who refused to identify himself further, told the pickets, "You realize that I have only one recourse." He later added, "They are going to be removed." The owner then entered the of- fice of Apartments Limited where he discussed the picketing with representatives of the firm. The owner made no further attempts to force the students to leave. Shortly before the pickets left, two men who identified them- selves as representatives of the city prosecutor's office arrived and dis- -ussed the situation. They declined comment on their presence or the legality of the picketing. They did say they had not offered any legal advice on the matter. SHA-SRU plans further picketing of Apartments Limited next week. Mike Koeneke, '69 Bus. Ad., chair- man of SHA, was uncertain whether the picketing will be in- side the building or not.

Pier- By JILL CRABTREE and HENRY GRIX The University is worried about its future. Here it is over 150 years old and still not financially secure.- Every year, the University must petition the state Legislature to allocate the major portion of its operating budget. The Uni- versity never knows for sure whether the Legislators will come through with the needed funds for improvement or instead demand belt-tightening. This year, some administrators are preparing to tighten their belts if Gov. George Romney's recommended budget is not hiked by the Legislature. Romney recommended a $64.7 million budget, which is $11.1 million below the University's $75.8 million request. "I could easily compile a list of ab- and do not come close to meeting the goals the governor said they .would achieve. Said Smith, "the message and the arithmetic just don't jive." According to University calculations, the governor recommended no money to hire new faculty or supporting staff or to purchase instructional and research equipment. No consideration was given to improve- ment of student, library or plant services, and Flint College was given no funds for expansion. Most importantly, the governor allowed for only a 6.3 per cent raise in faculty salaries. The University requested anl needs at least a nine per cent hike to.keep its salaries in stride with its competitors. "We lost ground last year and the six list salaries for full professors in the "A" or "AA" category. Although the University tries to adhere as closely as possible to the state's spend- ing recommendations, it is clear to Smith that "salary is the absolute first priority," on the University's list of necessary im- provements. "Salary and wage programs are not going to be the low man on the totem pole this year as they were last," Smith added. Lowest on the totem pole with regards to salary is the literary college. "The col- lege's average salary for all ranks com- pares unfavorably with respect to such ranks in most other units of the Univer- sity," said Dean Willian Haber of the literary college. "The propsed salary increases are vir- tualy inadequate and there is no provision Flint College will also be hard-hit by a lack of funds for expansion. Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs Robert H. Glenn explained that the college needs more staff because it has been expanding for the last three years from a college for upperclassmen to a four-year college. "The freshmen are coming in faster than we can handle them," Glenn said. "The colleges faces a two-fold problem. We don't have enough staff to keep classes small, and we are unable to in- clude important new programs in our curriculum," Glenn added. Glenn said enrollment in some classes originally conceived as seminars has risen to 80-90 students, "forcing them out of sheer necessity to become lecture courses."n TheUniversity library system would also like to better serve the needs of the private jet was scheduled to ar- rive at Tallahassee early today.
