Fleming sees 'no possibility'
of supplemental funds for'U
By JIM NEUBACHER
Gov. George Romney announced yesterday the state
began the current fiscal year with a $55.9 million surplus in
the state treasury, far above the $24 million previously pre-
dicted.
The news of the surplus opened up the chance for sup-
plemental appropriations to the University to help stretch
the tight budget it is, currently forced to operate with.
However, University President Robben W. Fleming said
yesterday he sees little hope of getting more funds from
Lansing.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't help much," he said, "because
it now appears there will be $30-$40 million in supplemental
appropriations for other state ~
agencies and programs this
spring."

Students for Education Innovation (SEI) will continue to
press for changes in the School of Education this year.
More than 150 education students met last night to
work on .SEI programs, including a planned evaluation o
their entire school.
The evaluation calls for the distribution of 'some 5,000
'r questionnaires to students and faculty who will be asked to
evalmate counseling, grading, student role in decision-making

The racial trouble at Kal-
amazoo followed a demand by
the Black Action Movement3
that the football c o a c h at

replaced by a black coach.
The demand came in a letter

committee. Miss Freitag said the
faculty had already donated $200

SEf was formed eight months
ago by a smal group of dissatis-

4 has since won voting membership
for two students on the commit-

for the school's new dean.
$EI also will select student
members for the school's other
faculty committees including the
Executive Committee, which is the
j major policy-making unit.
In addition, SEI has initiated
an ad hoc student-faculty com-

Other SEI projects include eval-

GraduatetAssembly last night
called for the creation of a stu-
dent judiciary board and the for-
mulation of new interim rules.
The resolution will now go for'
approval to the executive board of
the graduate school.
The action resulted from wide-
spread student dissatisfaction over
the present interim rules which
were set up following a mail vote
of the executive board in Ji.ly.
The' rules presently in effect were
modified later following protests
from executive officers of GA.
The interim rule's, drawn up
last summer by Dean Stephen
Spurr, were to have been in effect
until new bylaws--presently being
drafted by an Ad Hoc Committee
-are made law by the Regents.
"The original interim rules
must have been taken from the
Michigan penal code, GA presi-
dent Stu Katz said. Several GA
memberstbelieve the Regents' re-
quested that harsh rules be im-
posed on the graduate students.
Under the interim rules, the
dean conducts a preliminary in-
vestigation into alleged student
misconduct. He then either dis-
misses the charges or refers them
to the board of inquiry.
This board, consisting of two
graduate students and three fac-
ulty members, then thoroughly
investigates the charges and sub-
mits Its findings and recommen-
dations to the executive board,
which takes appropriate' action.
However, a board of inquiry
was never really named, so had
disruptive activities occurred /the
whole system would have proven
ineffectual.'
The boaid of inquiry, which has
no judicial authority, will be re-
placed by the student board if the
GA plans are approved. The num-
ber of students on the new boaid
will be decided at a future GA
meeting.
Passage of the motion followed
nearly an hour of heated debate.
Barry Bowman, a former judge
on all-student' judiciary at the
University of. Wisconsin, said, "A
student judged by otier students
is fairly judged, not ruled by an
administrator."
A minority contended that
graduate students sitting in judg-
ment of other graduate students
would be unjustly lenient.

SGC previously sought Regental
approval for the incorporation

turned down the request at their

'SPEND-THE-RENT' STAMPEDE

Welfare director predicts

ADO campaign

By JIlY HECK
County Social Service Director Alfred
Brose said yesterday he expects a new wave
of welfare protests, but the mothers in-
volved in the demonstrations three weeks
ago say no such campaign is in the offing.
Brose said he expects a "spend-the-rent
campaign" in which the welfare recipients
would spend their monthly rent allowance
for food and then demand supplemental
funds to pay the rent,
Several of the welfare recipients said
yesterday they are fearful Brose's state-
ient may cause just what he seeks to
avoid-a stampede of mothers spending
their monthly rent allowances and turn-
ing to the social services office for supple-
mental funds.

"I want the public to know right now
there is no campaign," Miss Fuller told
The Daily last night.
Though Miss Fuller can request the ad-
ditional funds to be supplied through the
county's Direct Relief Program the funds
would not be subsidized by the state and
there is no legal basis forADC recipients
to demand the funds be allocated.
The program is not sufficiently funded
to allow for the mass allocation of supple-
mental monies.
Only if State Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley
ruled a state of emergency existed in the
payment of ADC utility bills would sup-
plemental funds become available for mass
allocation.
But such a ruling is unlikely now, when

The mothers will refuse to pay their
utility bills, claiming they used the
monthly allotment for food and clothing
-"because the food and clothing monthly
allotment is insufficient." When the util-
ity companies threaten to cut service, the
social services board would have to decide
whether to ask the attorney general to
rule the situation an "emergency."
By that point, it is not improbable such
a ruling would be given by Kelley.
But Brose has tried to foresee this, and
anticipating a "spend-the-rent campaign"
yesterday, he railroaded the social services
board into deciding that all requests for
supplemental funds must now be made
before the board's weekly meetings.
However, the action may bapkfire. Under
