The Regents yesterday took a hardline stand against
the creation of a University bookstore, defeating both a pro-a
posal sponsored by Student Government Council and a sub-
stitute plan sponsored by the administration.
The SGC proposal-which called for the creation of a
bookstore financed by approximately $250,000 from a fee
assessment and by contributions-was unanimously defeated.
A motion to support the plan submitted by the adminis-
tration also failed as the Regents .deadlocked, 4-4. Under the

The Regents yesterday voted to maintain current tuition
levels for the 1969-70 fiscal year and approved a record $111,-
201,338 general fund budget.
The decision caie only hours after the State Legislature
early yesterday morning passed the higher education appro-
priations bill which included a $67,372,392 net allocation for
the University.
The Regental action on tuition was the first time in three
years that student fees were not increased.
Total University expenditures had been tentatively set at
$113,384,582 and the administration was forced to make a ser-

In addition, Vice President for
Academic Affairs Alan F. Smith
will recoup $1,095,000 by cutting
an average of one per cent from
the 1968-69 budgets of University
departments.
James Lesch, assistant to the
vice president for academic af-
fairs, said yesterday that several
budgetary conferences have been
scheduled for the n e a r future.
There, deans and department
chairmen will be asked to find
items they could cut if ordered to
do so.
Not all academic divisions will
be forced to make cuts, however.
The social work school, for ex-
ample, has already been allowed
to hire three additional faculty
members for the coming year and
Smith has told the school that in-
creased funds will be available.
An additional $300,000 will be
raised as a result of a uniform ap-
plication fee also approved by the
Regents yesterday. Those apply-
ing to any University unit will
now be charged $15. In the past,
this fee has varied depending on
the division to which the student
was applying.
Undergraduate tuition will re-
main at $480 for state residents
and $1,540 for out-of-state stu-
dents.
In the graduate school, the fees
will be continued at $540 and $1,-
648. Tuition in the Law School
will remain at $6$.0 and $1,740;
and in the Medical School, t h e
school of dentistry and the school
of public health, it will stay at
$960 and $2,140.
The $111,201,338 general, fund
budget includes money from stu-
dent tuition, the state appropria-
tion, indirect cost reimbursement
from federal contracts and other
smaller sources. The Regents yes-
terday also approved three other
budgets - the designated fund,
the expendable restricted fund
and the auxiliary activities fund.

for the 1969-70 fiscal year will be

review of
dorm rules
The Regents yesterday voted
that current dormitory policies on
curfews and visitation by mem-
bers of the opposite sex "be con-
tinued and enforced" but also
slated an intensive review of the
question for the fall.
Visitation rules are presently
set by the.student governments of
the individual housing units. Cur-
fews exist only for women under
21 who do not receive parental
permission.
The decision to study the func-
tioning of the rules came as sev-
eral Regents cited complaints they
had received concerning condi-
tions in the dormitories.
"I don't see how it's possible to
have any, enforcement of the
rules," said Regent Paul Goebel.
Goebel said the present policy
stipulates that visitation rules
must include "meticulous safe-
guards for the rights of minori-
ties," but claimed there are cases
of women who complain room-
mates are inviting visitors in "all
the time."
"I am against the entire present

visitation policy," he added. Goe-
bel was the only Regent opposed
to the policy when it was first
adopted in January, 1968.
"I'm beginning to w o n d e r
whether the policy is being en-
forced at all," said Regent Robert
Brown. "To make this policy ef-
fective there's got to be more
work done by the resident ad-
visers."
Discussion of the dormitory
policies was prompted by a report
received from Acting Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Barbara
Newell which included results of
a survey of advisers and dormitory
residents.
The poll, conducted by the Uni-
versity's Survey Research Center,
shows that both male and female
residents overwhelmingly support
the present policy.
Most male students and staff
said they thought the parental
permission requirement for wo-
men's curfew should be dropped.
Female students were evenly split
on the subject, while women staff
members favored this requirement.
The survey showed that only 15

expert testimony or "written docu-

the health hazards."
"The resolution was dealt with
late in the evening and I for one
was not entirely clear about the
final motion passed," he explains.
"The enforceability is uncertain."
If council does reconsider the
amendment, Cappaert will "move
to table the measure pending an
administrative report as to the de-

Both Wayne State University
and Michigan State University
were forced to raise their tuition
yesterday as a result of cuts in
their appropriations requests by
the State Legislature.
At Wayne State, tuition for in-
state undergraduate students went
up to $525 per year, a $114 in-
crease from last year. Graduate
students must pay $630, an in-
crease of $150.
One credit for in-state under-
graduate students costs $13; a
graduate credit costs $31.
Credit assessments for out-of-
state students were not available
last night.
Eliot G. Ballard, assistant to
acting university president Walter'
Adams, yesterday said the new fee
assessment would mean an in-
crease on the average of only $2.01,
for each in-state student. The
