LNXVI, No. 22 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1965 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES -U, General Fund: A Many Sided Proposition By SHIRLEY ROSICK University officials yesterday ! broke administrative tradition to discuss budgeting of the General Fund, the most vital area of Uni- versity finance, The fund provides for all basic operations of the University and is supplied by appropriations from the state Legislature, student fees and a few miscellaneous invest- ments. Fund money is distribut- ed for such costs as salaries, li- braries and other educational services, supplies and plant main- tenance. Assistant to the Vice-President for Academic Affairs James E. Lesch explained that the Univer- sity receives the legislative ap- propriation in 12 equal monthly allotments rather than in one lump sum. Each month money is then allocated by the University Budget Committee to the various departments according to the budget approved at the end of the previous year. Each department administers its funds independ- ently, under the eye of the Uni- versity controller's office. Lesch said the Budget Commit- tee, under Regents' bylaws com- posed of the president, executive vice-president; the vice-president for academic affairs and the vice- president for business and finance, functions with the aid of a large number of people in the academic' affairs and business offices as well as those from the depart- ments of all the schools and col- leges. Assistant Controller H. J. Muld- er offered a vague characteriza- tion of the committee as a group of many individuals reviewing their work with the president but having no official status as a committee. The committee accepts budget requests from all University de- partments, decides priorities and submits a General Fund Budget request for the entire University to the Regents and eventually to the state Legislature.' The General Fund Budget ap- proved by the Legislature is then administered monthly as previ- ously described. The procedure of receiving yearly appropriations in monthly payments is not stipulat- ed by the Legislature but is the system of payment preferred by the Office of Business and Fi- nance, Lesch said. Officials for the first time yes- terday also discussed procedures for handling unexpected surpluses and deficits of funds in depart- mental budgets. Lesch said that any residual funds from expected nonteaching expenses are retained by each department to be used at its dis- cretion. He said a certain surplus in funds set aside for teaching saliries, due to death, resignation or early retirement of teachers, can be predicted to occur each year. This surplus is reallocated by the Budget Committee through- out the year as unforeseen ex- penses arise. Mulder further explained the procedure of caring for 'unfore- seen expenses." A department finding it necessary to overspend its budget presents its case to the dean of its school or college, he said. The dean then looks for surplus funds in other depart- ments of his school, or finding none there. may appeal to the Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs for use of a special fund set aside for such emergencies, Mulder said. He said that he was not aware of any schools or colleges that had run short and were forced to use this fund last year but that some were "balancing on end." The amount a department over- spends is subtracted from its budget for the followirg year, he said. Mulder mentioned an indirect connection between the supposed- ly self-liquidating residence halls and money. allocated from the fund for student activities, such as the Women's League, Men's Union and athletics. Officials in the University Hous- ing Office receive salaries from the fund, and so the fund may thus be seen as indirectly aiding residence hall operation, said John Feldkamp, assistant to the Vice- President for Student Affairs. He also said that counseling provided in residence halls by house mothers, resident advisors and faculty" advisors is supported by money from the general fund. He emphasized that a very small portion of the General Fund is used for these services and stress- ed that the residence hall system is an , essentially self-liquidating venture operating on room and board rates charged students. In- sistence that the administration of the Housing Office and resi- dence hall counseling not be pro- vided for by the General Fund would necessitate a hike in room and board rates. he said. What's New At 764-18,17 Hotline Student Government Council will consider a motion tonight from Bob Bodkin, '66, to form an off-campus housing union in an effort to coordinate all groups working on the housing prob- lem. They will also consider rules for the use of the Fishbowl and Diag and election rules; all were tabled last week. Robert H. Muller, associate director of University libraries, blames recent severe overcrowding in the Undergraduate Library on two factors. First, all of the new furniture which has been ordered has not yet arrived, and secondly, he says that many students leave their notebooks on the desks, and necessary seats are wasted for hours at a time. 4.* * * * The Committee to Aid the Vietnamese's collection of money for the National Liberation Front, led by Stanley Nadel, '66, was charged yesterday with disobeying a government law which states that all agents of a foreign government must be registered with the FBI. The University Young Republican Club, making the charge on the basis that Nadel's committee is a political arm of the North Vietnamese government, required Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard Cutler to consult with the United States District Attorney's office on the applicability of U.S. laws to this case. Lee Hornberger, '66, will present a similar request to Stu- dent Government Council tonight. J. Duncan Sells, director of student activities and organizations, said his office called the FBI yesterday to find whether or not the National Liberation Front is on its "subversive" list. He said he was told that the NLF was not on an earlier list of such orga'nizations, and that "we have no indication that there has been a change in its status." Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard Cutler said last night that his student advisory housing committee will begin operation as soon as the panel of names is approved at the SGC meeting tonight. If all goes well, Cutler said he will make the official announcement of the new committee members on Friday. Student groups at the University of California at Berkeley were dissatisfied with rules issued last week by Chancellor Roger Heyns, former vice-president for academic affairs -at the University. Criticism centered on provisions concerning students man- ning -tables, the keeping of financial records and procedures for student hearings. * * The 1965 construction rate in Ann Arbor is breaking all previous records, and may exceed the $100 million mark by the end of the year, according to a Department of Building and Safety Engineering report. The report states that the University has already authorized $19.5 million in new construction, and according to James F. Brinkerhoff, director of plant expansion, another $32.8 million in new facilities is already planned to be authorized during the remainder of the year. Inter-Quadrangle Council President Lee Hornberger, '66, stated yesterday that his organization was officially opposed to those proposals before City Council that would limit motorcycle speedt. to 20 mph and a single rider capacity. Hornberger stated that the IQC hopes to send letters to the councilmen and Mayor Wendell Hulcher and to have members in attendance at next Monday night's council meeting. * * Homecoming '65, in cooperation with the University Activities Center, recently announced its all-campus tryouts for the official A Go Go Girls. The winners will appear on a float in the Friday afternoon parade, Oct. 15, and will perform at the dance mn the IM building that evening. The competition will be held Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. in Rooms 3R and 3S of the Union. Wiretap Sources report that President Harlan H. Hatcher may announce plans for a new University theatre within a few weeks. This substantiates earlier reports that Regent Eugene Power may donate $1 million toward such a theatre's construction. Hatcher said last night that he had "no announcement at the present time." Busy Signal Contradicting yesterday's rumor that pressure was being exerted to force the Office of Religious Affairs out of the Stu- dent Activities Building because of such "radical" ORA activities as last weekend's Conference on Alternative Perspectives for Viet Nam, Rev. Dewitt C. Baldwin, ORA coordinator, said, "I have had no one approach me either from the administration or Cyclists' Bill Elicits More, Student Ire Proposal Demands Strict Enforcement Of 01l1, New Laws By BOB CARNEY Ann Arbor Councilman John Hathaway's proposed motorcycle regulation ordinance has stirred considerable student discontent ever since its revelation Monday night. In addition to restrictions on the use of such vehicles, the ordi- nanc-M will impose a $3 per horse- powfr license fee on each cycle. Such a fee could amount to $100 per year or more on larger cycles. In most respects, however, the ordinance does not call for any major alterations in the laws al- ready on the books concerning such vehicles, although there are a few important new provisions. Most of its clauses are aimed sim- ply at tightening regulation of laws already passed. 90 Per Cent Law "My proposal is 90 per cent state law already," said Hathaway yes- terday, "but the enforcement hasn't been carried out because of the difficulty in distinguishing between 'motorcycle' and 'motor- driven cycle'." The distinction is an important one and unfortunately wasn't made in earlier reports of the pro- posal on Tuesday. The major difference in the definition of the two types of cycles by state law is that the motor-driven cycle possesses only five horsepower or less. Restricted Applications Several provisions in Hatha- way's amendment are applicable only to motor-driven cycles, and have already been put into law by the state legislature. These in+. elude: 1) the requirement of a night operation permit. This stipulates that no operator of a motor-driven cycle will be allowed to drive that cycle at night unless he obtains a permit from the chief of police, stating the reason he requests such a permit. 2) the one person limit. Only one person will be allowed on a motor-driven cycle, and both pas- senger and driver will be deemed guilty in case of a violation. Chinese India's Troops Threaten Hi1malayan Areas IRed Patrol Is Seen on Indian Land Steering Committee Proposes Peking Be Represented in UN By The Associated Press TOKYO - Communist China indicated this morning that it may bring new pressure to bear along its barren Himalayan border with India.; A report that a Chinese patrol was sighted five miles inside In- dia's Uttar Pradesh on the central front of the 1,000-mile-long bor- der, sustained tension. China, which declared yester- day that Indian troops had pulled back in the Sikkim border area in accordance with Chinese demands, See Related Story, Page 3 today said "the matter is far from being closed." The Chinese state- ment yesterday came just hours before its ultimatum to India fell due. High Official A writer identified as an "ob- server"-usually believed to be a high Communist Chinese official -wrote in the Peking People's Daily that "you, India, have yet to return the Chinese border in- habitants abducted and the cattle seized. You are occupying large areas of Chinese territory in the eastern, middle and western sec- tors of the Chinese - Indian border." The commentary, carried by the New China News Agency was headlined: "Indian Troops May Run Away, But No Denial Will Do." Although China claimed Indian troops had dismantled military posts along the border and pulled back, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri sharply denied that India had retreated. Repel Troops He countered by saying that In- dian troops have been ordered to repel Chinese forces along the border. His stand appeared to put the brunt of saving face over the border situation back on Peking. In a separate commentary, China called for a thorough re- organization of the United Na- tions "to get rid of United States domination." In New York, the U.N.'s General Assembly S t e e ri n g Committee, without taking a formal vote, recommended yesterday that the assembly again take up the issue of representation for Red China. No Objection U.S. Ambassador Charles Y. Yost said the United States had no objection to a full-scale assem- bly debate. He expressed confidence that the assembly would again reject the proposal to admit Peking and expel the Chinese Nationalists, as it has done since 1961.

AT ASIAN CONFERENCE: U.S. Official Predicts Soviets May Give Brezhnev New Post, Revamp Economy By ROBERT HIPPLER Associate Editorial Director Special To The Daily FLINT-Current rumors of a coming change in Russian lead- ership probably presage the ap- pointment of Communist party chief Leonid Brezhnev as, presi- dent of the Soviet Union and a major restatement of policies on Russian agriculture and industry, according to a high State Depart- ment official. Walter J. Stoessel, Jr., deputy assistant secretary of state for Eastern European affairs, explain- ed in an interview last night that the major decisions in the matter will take place at a meeting of the pected appointment of Brezhnev as president-he would retain his post as head of the Communist Party-will probably not be due to the economic problems to be dis- cussed at tomorrow's Central Committee meeting. Rather, its prime purpose will be to give Brezhnev a post in the government so he can confer for- mally with visiting foreign offi- cials as a government representa- tive. In addition, Stoessel said the expected appointment will tend to ratify the shift of power which has gradually taken place in the Soviet Union in recent months, making Brezhnev the "most equal" and most powerful member of the pressed a wish to retire. Mikoyan is a veteran of Soviet politics whose experience dates to the ear- ly Stalin era. Until the recent apparent as- cendency of Brezhnev, he and So- viet Premier Alexei Kosygin were approximately equal in the gov- ernment. With regard to economic mat- ters, Stoessel said there is a good chance the Central Committee will vote to abolish some of the pres- ent regional economic controls, giving more responsibility to man- agers of individual factories. In addition, the committee will probably decide "where to get the money to finance the Soviet agricultural plan which was an- recent swift rise in power by mov- ing up to a more prominent post. "But the possibility of this is small because of Shelepin's youth," Stoessel said. Older Soviet lead- ers are probably not yet ready to allow him to rise further in the hirearchy. Shelepin has in the past been the head of the Young Communist League and of the Soviet secret police. At present, he is head of the Committee on Party-State Control, "a powerful post which allows him to probe into almost anything he wants," Stoessel said. The Central Committee meet- ing will almost certainly be fol- lowed by a meeting of the party presidium, if they make conciliatory moves, they will lose standing among the world's Communist parties. One specific proposal being, blocked by the pressure of the war is an East-West agreement to halt proliferation of nuclear weapons, Harriman explained. Referring to the Vietnamese war, Harriman called it an "im- ported rebellion," and cited a re- cent Soviet document which ex- pressed support for other guerrilla activities in Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala and Peru. Other speakers at the confer- ence besides Harriman and Stoes- sel were William P. Buffum, dep- uty assistant secretary of state for international organization af-
