By WALLACE IMMEN
The University Regents will meet
at 2 p~m. today to announce a
tuition hike and approve a fin-
al figure for the 1967-68 operat-
ing budget.
The Regents held an extended
series of talks yesterday to dis-
cuss what one Regent termed "an
inexhaustible supply of factors"
which have to be considered be-
fore a tuition hike is finalized.
Attention was focused on the
size of the increase, its effect
on the University revenue sources
for the year and the current ra-
tio between resident and non-resi-
dent tuition.
The afternoon meeting is open
to the public and will be held in
the Regent's Conference Room of
the Administration Building.
The increase could be more
than $100 for in-state and $300 for
out-of-state students. Wayne State
University recently raised their
tuition by those figures because+
of low state allocations and the
University has an even larger;
budget deficit.
The administration has said1
that the $59.1 million allocated to
the University by the state Legis-
lature this year is below the min-
imum required to continue opera-
tions without cutbacks in pro-
grams and a freeze on salary lev-
els.
The amount was the smallest
percentage increase given to any+
of the state's colleges and its rep-
resented a $16 million slash from
the University request made last1
spring.1
None of the Regents would com-
ment directly as to how much the1
increase would be, but they said
that there would most likely be
general agreement after a morn-
ing session in which the complete
financial problem will be explain-
ed in detail.
The University has been oper-
ating without an official budget
since last Monday. The adminis-
tration has said that there will be
no problem with payrolls and ex-
penses for the week, because they
were all figured on the basis of
last year's budget which had been
extended through the month of
July.
The Difference between mini-
mum necessary University expen-
ditures for next year and the sum
of state appropriations and stu-
dent fees will be the basis of the
tuition hike decision. Between
three and four million dollars can
only be made up in student fees
this year because of a lack of
funds in the state treasury.
Eight Raise Tuition
Eight of the 12 state-supported
colleges and universities have al-
ready announced tuition increases
ranging from $60 to $100 in-state
and from $100 to $300 out-of-
state. Michigan State University
has instituted a resident fee sys-
tem based upon the student's abil-
ity to pay; students whose fam-
ilies are in high income brackets
will have to pay as much as $146
more this year.
The factors cited for the tuition
hikes at other schools have been
the need to raise faculty salaries
by at least five per cent in order
to recruit and hold top quality
professors and the rising costs of
materials and general labor as
well. The University has already
raised residence hall fees and
apartment rental charges to meet
rising costs.

Asks Reconsideration
By DAVID KNOKE
Sixty Russian scholars sched-
uled to attend the 27th Interna-
tional Orientalists Congress at
the University Aug. 13-20 have
cancelled their trip in view of
international tensions.
The head of the delegation,
Yevgeny Zhukov, vice president
of the International Union of
Orientalists, said Friday the
Soviet scientists will stay home
because the organizational com-
mittee rejected a Soviet request
that the conference be postponed
"to a more favorable time."
The request was made on July
27, according to Zhukov, because
of international tensions aggra-
vated by "the recent escalation of
the U.S. war in Vietnam and Is-
rael's aggression against Arab
countries supported by U.S. ruling
circles, made it hard for scholars
from a number of Afro-Asian
nations to attend the Congress."
Zhukov apparently referred to

ing of two Negro teen-agers, found
dead in a midtown motel at the
peak of Detroit's racial riot.
The motel-The Algiers-stands
on busy Woodward Avenue on the
fringe of the near West Side sec-
tion where a week of pillaging,
burning and sniper activity broke
out July 23.
It is the same one where several
persons registered as guests claim-
ed they were lined up against a
wall, beaten with gunbutts and
threatened with death by 16 or 17
"uniformed men" in search of
snipers.
Uniformed Men
The guests claimed two Negro
youths were shot to death by one
of the uniformed men, but none
has said "he or she actually say
Lany shooting.
The charges announced yester-
day were the first directly related
to the .deaths at the motel.
A private guard who had been
on duty at a super market across
the street has been charged with
the pistol-whipping of one of the
motel guests the same night-
July 26-but authorities have not
said whether incidents were con-
nected.
Warrants Issued
Wayne County prosecutor Wil-
lam Cahalan announced these
warrants:
-Policeman Ronald August, 28,
charged with murder in the death
of Aubrey Pollard. 19, whose body
was found in a room at the Manor
House Annex of the Algiers Motel
July 26, fourth day of the riot.
-Policeman Robert Paille, 32,
charged with murder in the death
of Fred Tempele, 18, whose body
was found near Pollard's in the
same room at the same time.
Police found three bodies at the
motel annex, Temple's and Pol-
lard's in one room, and that of
Carl Cooper, 17, also a Negro, in
a room a hallway away. Cooper
also had been killed by shotgun
blasts.
bast No Evidence
"There's no evidence that Carl
Cooper was killed by a man in
uniform," Cahalan told a news
conference. "On the other hand,
we have no evidence that he was
not."
August and Paille pleaded inno-
cent at their arraignment and
were jailed without bond. In none
of the five murder warrants did
Cahalan specify what degree of
murder.
But at the Recorder's Criminal
lice commissioner, said the docket
will carry it as first-degree, for
which Michigan law provides a
mandatory penalty upon convic-
tion of life in prison.
Original Listing
Pollard, Temple and Cooper
originally had been listed in po-
lice reports as suspected snipers
"killed in exchange of gunfire."
The report said, however, that no
guns were found in the room
where the bodies were discovered.
Cahalan said results of the in-
vestigation had been made avail-
able to the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation "for consideration of
possible violation of federal law.
"I expect we will be making ad-
ditional charges regarding in-
cidents that occurred at the Al-
giers Motel annex on that night,"
he said.

Atty.-Gen. Outlines Steps
For Federal Riot Control
WASHINGTON OP)-Atty. Gen.
Ramsey Clark sent letters to the
50 governors yesterday outlining
the steps they must take to get
federal troops if they are unable
to control riots.
In making the letter public the
attorney general said in a state-
ment it was "not written in the
expectation of any situation re-
quiring federal troops."
Clark said the three-page letter,
accompanied by applicable sec-
tions of federal law and a chron-
ological listing of state requests
for federal assistance in suppres-
sing domestic violence, was writ-
ten at President Johnson's request.
Legal Requirements
Clark said the letter will advise
each governor of the legal require-
ments for using fedral troops to
put down domestic violence. He
listed as the three basic require-
ments:
1. That a situation of serious
"domestic violence" exist within
the state.
2. That such violence cannot be
brought under control by the law
enforcement resources available to
the governor, including local and
state police forces and the Na-
tional Guard. The judgment re-
quired here is that there is need
for the assistance of federal
troops, taking into account the re-
maining time needed to move
them into action at the scene of
violence.
3. That the legislature or the
governor request the President to
mploy the armd forces to bring
the violence under control.
Written Communication
The letter said the three ele-
ments should be contained in a
written communication to the
President. This may be a telegram.
But Clark added that in case of
extreme emergency, the receipt of
a written request will not be a
prerequisite to presidential action.
Clark said also that preliminary
steps, such as alerting the troops,
can be taken by the federal gov-
ernment "upon all communica-
tions and prior to the governor's
determination that the violence
cannot be brought under control
without the aid of federal forces."
'Serious Departure'
But he added that even such
preliminary steps "represent a
most serious departure from our
traditions of local responsibility
for law enforcement. They should
countries and the United States.
Sends TelegramI
Prof. Russell H. Fifield of the
political science department and
secretary general of the congress,
dispatched a telegram to the U.S.-
S.R. Academy of Sciences asking
its reconsideration "in the in-
terests of world scholarship."
He indicated yesterday that no
further developments on the sit-
uation are likely until the presi-
dent of the congress, Prof. H.
Norman Brown of the University
of Pennsylvania, arrives in Ann
Arbor later this week.
Fifield's cable to the Russian
delegation head, Yevgeny Zhu-
kov, vice president of the Inter-
national Union of Orientalists,

PRESIDENT OF GRADUATE ASSEMBLY Roy Ashmall announced at a news conference yeste

Sends Resolution
To Regents' Meeting
By LUCY KENNEDY
Over 2,000 residents of North
Campus married student housing
have signed a petition threatening
a rent strike if a recently-an-
nounced $10 per month increase
in rent is not delayed until at least
Jan. 1.
The executive council of Grad-
uate Assembly organized the pro-
test by drawing up and circulating
the petition. It also passed a reso-
lution on the issue which it hopes
the administration will present to
thetRegents at today's 2 p.m.
meeting.
Roy Ashmall, president of GA,
said yesterday at a press confer-
ence, "Our purpose is to question
if the University must charge as
much as private housing in Ann
Arbor, and yet not treat married
students as private housing does
by giving them 60 days notice be-
fore raising rents."
Withold Increase
The petition states that res-
idents are prepared to "withhold
the amount of increase in rents
until adequate notice is given of
an increase.
sacks The new rents for the apart-
rday ments would be $95 per month for
onth an efficiency apartment; $110 per
month for a one bedroom apart-
-..ment; and $125 per month for a
two-bedroom apartment.
The 900residents affected by
the increase were first informed
by letter Aug. 1. By that time most
of them had signed contracts with
the University.
Residents must give the Univer-
sity 60 days notice before break-
ing a housing contract. Even if
students were willing to break
their contracts at the end of Sep-
