State Supreme Court to consider Medicaid The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 27, 1979-Page 3 POETRY READING with Rob Fuschini Deborah Dudley NOON LUNCHEON home-made soup and sandwich 75C i~nna Kp,.r Npu, Winpskinc John Douglass Center, Columbus, Ohio reading from their worksCetrCoubOh: Thursday, Sept. 27 "Dreams: Pathways 7:30 PM to Inner Wisdom" -REFRESHMENTS- Friday, Sept, 28, noon GUILD HOUSE, 802 Monroe (corner of Oakland) abortion su By WILLIAM THOMPSON Opponents of medicaid-funded abor- tions appealed Tuesday to the Michigan Supreme Court in an effort to overturn Governor William Milliken's veto of an anti-abortion funding provision. The appeal of a lawsuit filed by State Rep. Thaddeus Stopczynski (D-Detroit) comes after a Court of Appeals upheld the governor's veto, reversing an Ingham County Circuit Court ruling. MILLIKEN vetoed a section of the state's Medicaid bill this summer which limited funding of non- therapeutic abortions to one dollar. After vetoeing the provision, Milliken spent other Medicaid money to finance the abortions, according to Stopczyn- ski. "The governor and the Department of Social Services are spending money without the consent of the legislature," he said. The trial court ruled in Stopczynski's favor in June, finding that Milliken had no authority to strike down the one dollar limit. "MEDICAL SERVICES for indigent people are provided under the state Welfare Act," said Joseph Zanglin, Stopczynski's attorney. "Before medical services may be provided, a doctor must certify that the treatment is required." it appeal "The statute says 'required'," he emphasized, "and a non-therapeutic abortion by definition is not required." Zangling defined a non-therapeutic abortion as one "unnecessary for the life and health of the woman." He said medicaid money is now being spent for abortions which violate the "required" provision of the Welfare Act. "These abortions are merely for the convenience of the woman - elec- tive abortions," said Zanglin. THE APPEAL also contends that Milliken acted illegally in violating the legislature's one dollar limit, Zanglin said. He said he expects the Supreme Court to rule on whether the veto meant the governor had exceeded his authority. Even if the veto was legal, Zanglin said he believes Milliken illegally spent other Medicaid money on non- therapeutic abortions. "If the veto was valid, he cannot use other funds since the legislature clearly intended to eliminate them (state-supported, non- therapeutic abortions)." Next, the court must decide whether it will hear the appeal or permit the ap- peals court ruling, and Milliken's veto, to stand. Zanglin says he is not certain when this will occur but, "My guess is that it will be anywhere from ten days to two months." AP Photo Knock, knock, which way?

"Michigan has had reasonable oppor- tunity to take action. . . under our most diligent reading of the law, it can't be extended," the EPA's Douglas Costle said during a special Senate, in- formation session. The deadline for developing a plan to measure emissions from industries ex- pired July 1, causing a ban on new per- mits to pollution emitting businesses in Michigan. The state kow faces possible loss of highway construction funds, he said. COSTLE WAS invited to brief the -legislature on federal environmental stands, but also took the opportunity to plug President Carter's proposed win- dfall tax on the oil industry because it is "impossible to discuss environmental issues these days without encountering an energy problem." Although only Congress can extend the deadline, Costle said even if he had the power he would not give the state extra time. / But funds for sewage treatment plant expansion and improvement, par- ticularly in Detroit, probably would not be withheld if the state misses the deadline, he said. He said of 29 states required to sub- mit pollution control plans, the EPA is uncertain about legislation only in Michigan and California. Government boosts Work/Study ',,amLueuiinm rate I) political or religious issues. The jobs must be open to everyone. THE PURPOSES of Work/Study are to help students meet educational costs, to minimize loan burdens, to offer students positions within their own field of study; and to help students learn to budget their time, according to Longmate. "Work/Study is a super form of financial aid. It has so many positive aspects for students," Longmate said. Zimmerman said he sees Work/Study as a "viable alternative to taking out exorbitant loans." There is no debt to repay after graduation. Reisman said students with large blocks of free time can learn to allocate their time well between working and studying. Students on Fall-Winter programs may work until April 25 or until they have earned the specified amount.

He's not just a president, he's a person." "I like your garden," one student told Allan Smith. "WELL, I REALLY didn't have anything to do with it," Smith respon- ded. He continued to explain that since he knew he would only serve as president for a short time, that he and his wife decided not to live in the President's House. "Some students obviously wanted to see the house," Alene Smith said. She told of two women who stopped by one day recently and asked the time. "They peeked in. You could tell they came up just so they could get a look at the house. "This makes it easier for studen- ts to get a look. After all, they walk by it all the time." "I really do enjoy meeting students," said Alene Smith, who admitted the reception was hard to plan because there was no way of knowing how many students would attend. "I think that's what the University is all about. I've obviously met a lot of students and it's still fun to meet them. Each group had a particular air of its own. There were years when it was tense and serious, and years when they came to steal the cookies..." _. '. t 109 N.
