According to Grosline, the legis-
lature thought all outstate stu-
dents were now paying only 55
per cent of the cost of their educa-
tion, and computed the amount
to be gained from a tuition in-
crease to 75 per cent on this basis.
Grosline pointed out this is not

a much higher percentage than
the legislature realized.
The result is that when tuition
is raised so that all outstate stu-
dents end up paying for 75 per
cent of the costs they incur, the
gain to the University will be $1.6
million less than the legislature
originally thought. This is the
i amount Grosline anticipates the
Committee will return to the Uni-
versity appropriation.
SGC president Mike Koeneke,
'69BAd, said one of the problems
in dealing with the legislators is
their distrust of the University
due to some of its past use of
funds. While nothing specific was
mentioned, the feeling seems to

Jordan said Israel jet fighters'
"started bombarding" the north-
ern part of the east bank of the
Jordan River at 1 p.m. after Jor-

Israeli machine guns, artillery

Israel said "it became neces-

when Jordanian forces resumed

Cohen said he favors a "reduc-
tion of our commitment" in Viet-
nam, but asserted that "we can't
just go ahead and pull out com-
pletely."
"Chamberlain did that," he
said, "and that was the cause of
World War II."
Cohen said he would support
President Johnson's bid for reelec-
tion but denied that this was a
condition under which he was ap-

pointed. He added that he and his
wife will "voluntarily" speak for
the President.
"President Johnson has done
more for the health, education
and welfare of the nation than
any other president," Cohen said.
Cohen denied that his prede-
cessor had resigned because the
Vietnam war was draining funds
away from welfare projects.
"Gardner never made a state-
ment like that," Cohen said. "He

When asked if he thought the
$26 billion a year being spent on
the war was hurting the efforts of
his department, Cohen replied, "I
have $45 billion to spend."
Later, someone in the audience
challenged him on that figure
saying that $30 billion of HEW
funds are trust fund expenditures
subject to the discretion of Con-
gress.
Another questioner asked Cohen
what he was going to say when
Dr. Martin Luther King conducts
his march to Washington and
asks whether the United States
is going to spend $26 billion on
the war, or on the ghettos.
"We don't even have any plans
how to spend $26 bililon," Cohen
said. "Do you have any plans how
to spend that much money on the
ghettos?" Cohen asked the ques-
tioner.
Cohen said he was doing his
best to implement the recommen-
dations of the Kerner Commission
report on lastrsummer's riots. He
said the report is "an extremely
thoughtful and provocative" doc-
ument.
But Cohen denied the assertion
that the report blames the riots
on "white racism." He said apathy
and ignorance on the part of both
races were the primary causes for
the violence.
Cohen also said he favors .a
draft system under which "every
boy and girl is required to serve
two years," but added that he
thought such a system should in-
clude public service options other
than the military.
