the money would fill out the form.
In addition, PIRGIM and ad-'
ministrators developed criteria by
which the Regents could decide
whether to act as the fund-raising
mechanism for an organization.
The group would have to show
petitions of a majority of the stu-
dents on campus. PIRGIM has
done this with 16,000 signatures
having been collected.
In addition, the group would
also have to demonstrate "direct'
educational benefits in which all
students at the University have an
opportunity to participate." Writ-
ten endorsements by a "reason-
able" number of deans and de-
partment chairmen would also
have to be included.
Other requirements include re-
imbursement of the University for
administrative costs, a maximum
$2.00 fee be collected each term,
and that the rights of students
who do not wish to participate
in the program be protected.
In addition to the proposals de-'
bated yesterday, a new plan for a
student judiciary and a revised
research plan will be voted upon
today.

more control of land-use, but it's
not practical now because of op-
position from the legislature."
"Our long-term goal would be
state control of land-use," he con-
tinued. "We would like the state
land-use agency to eventually have
veto power similar to the water
power agency. But there are too
many obstacles now and a propo-
sal like that couldn't get through
the legislature."
Richards felt that county ordi-
nances restricting land-use under
the general supervision of the state
agency would be sufficient as an
initial step.
Smit, however, is going ahead
with his bill. He already is re-
ceiving opposition to his proposal.
"The farmer or forest land own-
er wants his tax lowered but is
unwilling to have state restraint
on his ability to resell for a profit
when the right developer comes
along," he said.

Smit expects opposition to the
measure to come not by party
lines but rather by ideology.
"I expect the battle will be
liberal versus conservative, as is
the case of many conservation
bills," he said.

When it comes to
engagements,
we wrote the book...

IWA

It's 40 pages filled
with diamond engagement and
wedding rings. In beautiful full
color you can look at hundreds of
different styles. Everything from
antique to modern.
Vanity Fair has been in the dia-
mond business since 1921. We
import our own diamonds, design
and manufacture the settings,
and mount the gems. And since
1921 we've sold directly to deal-
ers. Now in a new and unique
marketing policy, we're selling di-
rectly to college students.
What it all means is that we've
eliminated the middleman profits
that can drive up the price of a
diamond ring.
In fact we've done it so well, we
can probably sell you a diamond
ring for 50% less than anyone
else. If we don't we'll give you
your money back. We give you
that guarantee in writing.
You can read all about our
guarantee and a lot of other inter-
esting facts about diamonds in
our book. It's free...
