Koeneke, '69BAd, expects to send the Senate are not restored, a
$348 hike in out-state tuition will
be necessary.
A mailing campaign will ask
5000 select alumni to write their
representatives and urge the Leg-
islature to restore the cuts.
Koeneke said that a basic rea-
son for student involvement in
this area is that "students can
give a different kind of lobbying
force than the University. I doubt
that the University can have much
effectiveness at this point. In-
dividual students can," he ex-
plained.
A position paper distributed at
last night's meeting pointed out
that once an individual completes
a Michigan education, whether or
not he remains in the state -
and contributes his talents to the
state's' welfare - is not a fun-
ction of his place of residence be-
fore entering school.
In other action, SGC abolished
the Student Traffic Advisory
Board (STAB). Mike Davis, Grad,
called the move "another sign
that traffic regulations for stu-
dents are over and done with."
Abolishing STAB reaffirms the
position taken by SGC last week
that Council will have nothing to
do with any reinstitution of driv-
ing regulations.
"There aren't any driving regu-
lations, so there isn't any need
for anradvisory board," explain-
ed Carol Hollenshead, '71. 'She
added that the board has not been
meeting for the last few weeks.
SGC also voted to ask the Re-
gents for an increase in its ap-
propriation from 25 to 50 cents

deficit this year:.
The request is similar to one
made last April and rejected. Ex-
ecutive Vice President Bob Neff,
'69, who made the motion, 'said
that the move is "a safeguard in
case we don't get incorporation."
Sam Sherman, '68, said that he
does not expect the request to
be granted since SGC funds are
appropriated from the office of;
Student Affairs budget, which has
already been drawn up for next
year.
Miss Hollenshead said, "I don't
expect to get the increased funds,
but trying will give an impetus
to our incorporation plans."
SGC also approved plans of the
Student Housing Association to
direct pressure for the eight-
month lease at owners of Apart-
ments Limited instead of the
managers.

TOKYO (A'-About 400 radical
students armed with staves and
rocks stormed the new U.S. Army
hospital for Vietnam war casual-
ties at nearby Oji yesterday in
a wild, bloody surge that resulted
in 111 injuries.
Police said 169 students were
arrested.-Among the injured were
75 policemen, 27 students and nine
bystanders. All were taken to hos-
pitals and many were reported in
serious condition. - -
ed were the lack of correlation
between foreign and domestic
policy, the disintegration of co-
alitions of interest groups be-
tween the parties and the failure
to recognize the new issues and
their respective constituencies.
Looming over these problems is
the fact that Americans today
cannot relate to their historical
values, which need to be rede-
fined for use in the present.
Saying that only men can make
moral decisions, McWilliams ex-
plained that those who feel mor-
al decisions cannot be made
