meeting a request from the Residential College for approxi-
mately $3 million to underwrite proposed renovation and new
construction in East Quadrangle, University officials confirm.
The Regents will meet today with officials and students
of the Residential College and will tour existing facilities.
If approved, new bonding of East Quad will raise $1.3
million of the needed funds.
The decision as to where the . .
remaining monies will come from
is still under consideration. Three
additionial fund sources are cur-
rently being investigated:
0 The Residence Hall Reserve
Fund, consisting of excess reserv-
es from the budgets of the resi-
dence halls which must be rein-
vested in dormitory improvements
and expansion. Over $1 million
has been set aside in this fund
over the last two years for use
in East Quadrangle.
r The Student Facilities Fund,
which is monies accumulated from
student tuition fees. Monies from
this fund have gone toward the

INCORPORATION?

will discuss two proposals aimed
at breaking its financial depen-
dency on the Regents at tonight's
meeting.
The first proposal, introduced
for a reading last Thursday night,
would organize SGC as a legally
autonomous corporation.
E. 0. Knowles, member-at-
large, plans to introduce a second
motion to subsidize SGC by a
voluntary collection from the stu-
dents.

The corporation would be fi-
nanced largely by an assessment
of its members - the students.
Membership in SGC Incorporated
would be a condition for admis-
sion and enrollment in any school
or college of the University.
Any increase or decrease in
SGC's assessment would have to
be approved by a campus-wide
referendum.
"Direct allocation is the most
direct form of representation,"
said SGC President Mike Koeneke.

By STUART GANNES
Four major apaijtment company
managers postpo Aed a meeting
with representatives of Student
Housing Association i'SHA yes-
terday.
The meeting was to be the first
in a series with representatives
of Apartment Limited, Campus
Management, Charter Realty and
Dahlman Associates.
The meetings had been sched-
uled to discuss management serv-
ices, the institution of an eight-
month lease, the return of ten-
nant damage deposits and student
obligations to landlords.
The reasons behind the post-
ponement of tl iecmtiing are un-
clear.
SHA Chairman Mark Schreiber
said he was. unable to com-
ment on why the meeting was
postponed "since it might jea-
pardize the success of the nego-
tiations."
Director of the University's
landlord mediation service, Mrs,
Elizabeth Leslie also refused to
comment on why the negotiations
were postponed. However she at-
tributed the silence on the part
of SHA officials to the fact that
"they are trying desperately to
establish good faith with the
management."
Grievance negotiations werer or-
ganized earlier this month by
Mrs. Leslie. However on Tuesday,
Apartments Ltd. threatened to
call off negotiations when SHA
reopened its complaint service and
took a city health and safety in-
spector to investigate what SHA
called "student slum housing."
But the meetings remained
scheduled until yesterday morning
when SEA officials were inform-
ed that the local realtors had de-
cided to postpone the negotiations.
SHA members were Aopeful that
the negotiations could resume
shortly because of the relevance
of the issues which were to be
discussed yesterday.
No new date was set by SHA
and the managers for the resump-
tions ofthe negotiations.

WELFARE REFORM
Sire ng
By ANN MUNSTER
"There is a critical difference
in the focus of the welfare
rights movement today," says
Tim Sampson, administrative
director of the National Welfare
Rights Organization (NWRO).
Sampson, Dr. Wayne Vasey,
past president of the National
Conference on Social Welfare
and professor in the School of
Social Work, and Tim Keenan,
Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the third district spoke
at a Welfare Forum held last
night in the Rackham Assembly
Hall.
"The reformer looks at issues
and the organizer builds power,"
Sampson said. -
hfrom
that the changes will be the
right kind. They want to be at
the negotiating table determin-
ing those changes."
Sampson added, "It is diffi-
cult to get people together to
raise hell anyway. Agitating
riots is not as easy as most peo-
ple think.
"Vou don't organize people to
destroy something in the ab-
stract," S a m p s o n continued.
"Welfare recipients don't see this
kind of destruction as very use-
ful. They are interested in what
they are going to get."
Sampson said the popular
notion of a dichotomy between
destruction and reform is a false
one. "We're very clear about the
within
welfare system work the way it
is supposed to, that might de-
stroy it.
Sampson said that change in
the welfare system definitely
has to come from outside yhe
system. "In the past, efforts to
change it from within have
been paternal," he said. He sum-
med up the philosophy of those
working to change the welfare
system from within, "We will
decide and we will not do it
quickly."
Sampson said the NWRO
would "agree to a coalition
with anybody." But he added
"First we must get our thing to-
gether."
Prof. Vasey said one of the
