Administrators are in the pro-I
cess of making adjustments in
planned expenditures and sources
of revenue to bring the Universi-
ty's general funds budget into v
line with a $51.2 million state
appropriation.
The $51.2 million figure is $4.5-
million short of the amount re-
quested by the Regents-a fact
necessitating the current reas-
sessment of spending and financ-
ing. Except for tuition revenues,
the state appropriation provides
for virtually all of the day-to-
day costs of instruction at the
University.
In spite of this deficit, however,
the University has emerged from
a long legislative appropriations
battle in better shape than many
feared. At one time, the Legisla-
ture considered cutting the Uni- GOV. GEORGE ROMNEY

rumors were circulating that dis-
sident committee members were
planning to cut the University's
appropriation.
Few observers were prepared,
however, for the budget appro-
proved by the committee on June
11. The University's allotment
was slashed by $6.27 million, and
it was revealed that an effort to
cut $10 million had been given
support by six committee mem-
bers.
Two rationales for the move
were presented. One faction, led
by Rep. George Montgomery Jr.
(D-Detroit), appeared to be se-
riously intent on reducing the
University's share of state support
for higher education. Montgomery
argued for a move toward equal-
izing the appropriations for Mich-
igan's three big universities-a
step which would leave the Uni-
versity with an appropriation of
only about $40 million.
Second Group
A second group, represented by
Rep. Charles Gray (D-Ypsilanti),
called the $6.27 million cutback a
purely political maneuver to gain
Democrats. Led by Lane, the Sen-
ate Appropriations Committee had

proved only after considerable'

position to Flint expansion on the
argument that no such venture
should be undertaken until a pol-

of branches and independent in-
stitutions is reached-a decision
which would presumably await

Thomas H. Hamilton, president
of the University of Hawaii in a
paper presented to the meeting
said college administrators have
limited the powers of student gov-
ernments.
Honesty
Hamilton said the colleges must
be honest with students "as to
what powers they do have and
which powers the governing board,
faculty or administration re-
serves."
Dr. Dana L. Farnsworth, direc-
tor of University Health Services
at Harvard, said student rebellion
can be guided into constructive
lines if college authorities "treat
students with scrupulous fainess
at all times, listen to their com-
plaints, no matter how trivial, and
act with consistency on matters
of student concern."
Hamilton and Farnsworth both
warned that the older generation
can't fairly judge today's young
people on the basis of their own
experiences.
Hamilton said, "I am as I am,
and I think as I think, partly be-
cause I was a young man at the
time of the Great Depression. My
son is as he is, and thinks as he
thinks, partly because he did not
have that experience but did
march at Selma."
