Page Six BUDGET WOES THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, September 30, 1971 Growing financial crisis confronts U' (Continued from Page 5) The final outcome remained hazy until Sept. 7, when the Legislature belatedly completed work on the higher education bill and slated a $4.6 million in- ciease for the University - $1.8 million higher than Milliken's figure. While the final state appro- priation gave the University some room to maneuver this fiscal year, the actual budget that the Regents finally ap- proved 10 days later was far from encouraging. Even with the aid of a whop- ping 16 per cent tuition increase, the budget was able to increase faculty and staff salaries by Student vote swamps Ann Arbor polities (Continued from Page 5) Getting on the ballot isa problem which has plagued th party since its inception. A dis appointing showing in the las city election was largely trace able to the necessity of runnin a write-in campaign. It is clear that for any thir party movement to haves chance of challenging the powe of the entrenched parties i must have a place on the ballo Past experience with suc movements on both the nation al and local levels demonstrate the futility of the write-in cam paign. If HR-RIP gains ballot rec ognition; the battle for the al legiance of the student com munity could be the major po litical confrontation of the 70' Democrats, for the first tim would face tough competitio in getting student votes, an their efforts to woo that vote regardless of their outcome, wi enhance the political bargain ing position of the students. How strong of a leverage th students will have on the Dem ocrats, or how effective they ca be in a third party is likely t be strongly influenced bya number of other factors includ ing how their voting power wi. be distributed through the city' ward system. Under state law the city i required, after each census, t redraw its ward boundaries i: acordance with the new figure In Ann Arbor a commission ha been established to study th question but has been thus fa unable t actadue to a lack o necessary data. Despite the relative quiescenc of the commission, the majo parties are already manuever ing in anticipation of the con troversy to come over how t draw the city's ward boundar ies. In an attempt to asserta strong influence on the deci sions of the commission, the Re publican Party moved to enlarg the commission by six member -the six Republican council men.

By a 6-5 vote the council, g splitting along partisan lines, approved the Republican mo- d tion. Democratic mayor Robert a Harris, in a show of strength r used his veto power for the first it time this term to check the Re- t. publican bid. 'h This confrontation was how- - ever merely a prelude to the s battle royal likely to ensue when - t h e Democratically chaired boundary commission brings its - recommendations to council, - probably sometime this fall.. - At stake for students is both - the degree and character of s. their potential influence. e Basically two schools of n thought exist on boundaries: - d wards should be drawn so as to e roughly correspond to demo- 11 graphic boundaries thus crea- - ting a "black ward", a "student ward" etc. -wards should be e drawn so that each reflects a - microcosm of the community n at large. ;o Which of these two systems a would results in greater student - influence in city government re- 11 mains unclear. 's The first has the advantage of virtually insuring that stu- s dents will . control the council o seats of at least one ward. n Some contend, however, that s. the extent of the student vote s is greatly underestimated and e that students could eventually r be decisive in council races in f at least three wards. Fordthem the second system would be e more acceptable as it would r spread the student vote out ov- - er a number of wards. - Many of the questions in the o riddle of student electoral pow- - er remain at this stage unan- swered. Will HR-RIP make the a October deadline for filing pe- titions for ballot recognition? - How will the wards be drawn? e Who will students support if ' they do achieve recognition? Is - the third party movement dead if they don't? - While the registration ques- tion was largely settled this month these other questions have been only partially ans- wered, as the student vote issue promises to be a continually evolving struggle. r U only 6.5 per cent-significantly less than the 8.1 per cent in- crease received by state civil service employes. Moreover, to help make ends meet, the University reduced its annual payment to the city of Ann Arbor for police and fire services from $1.1 million to $350,000-which was a severe, though expected blow for the financially-troubled city. Finally, amid the neatly printed columns of expenditures was the three per cent cutback in University programs-an in- delible witness to the effects of the declining state financial support. Discouraging as they are, the features of the 1971-72 Univer- sity budget appear to be merely symptoms of a greater malaise yet to come, in the eyes of Uni- versity officials. The University has already been given notice by the gover- nor's budget bureau that the state appropriation next year will try to meet funding needs in only a specific few areas. And administrators anticipate that there wiil be virtually no funds for new programs or ex- pansion of old programs-unless the University begins the pain- ful and potentially controversial step of selectively cutting the budget. "We are in 4 period when we are going to have to direct more concern at studied evaluation of programs with a view to weeding out those which are deemed less essential than others to the mission of the University," President Fleming And that idea, more than anything else, represents per- haps the most agonizing conse- quence of the financial crisis. For the first time, the Univer- sity will be forced to make very difficult value judgments, jud- gments that may result in re- ducing the quality of specific departments, and in eliminating certain centers, programs and courses, so that others can ex- pand and new ones can begin. What complicates the problem is the fact that these decisions are bound to reflect the view- points and philosophies of those who make them-and in a com- munity with as wide a diversity of politics as the University, there will be controversy. Last summer, for example, a group of radical students and faculty lodged a strong protest against the impending decision of the literary college and the Regents to close the Center for Research on Conflict Resolu- tion, which concentrated on peace research. Administrators argued that center was poorly managed and was costing the University too much for what it was producing. Subesequently, the center was closed as part of this year's bud- get cutback. Faced with the necessity of making many far-reaching pri- ority decisions, the administra- tion has named a special com- mittee to evolve a planning me- chanism that would be accep- table to the University commun- ity. The committee is expected to release a report within the next few weeks. M e a nwhile, administrators say the state appropriations re- quest for the next fiscal year will soon be submitted to the state. They correctly observe that it is a strange request - for the first time in recent years, the University is asking for a smaller increase than it requested last time. Once, this might have been an omen. But one month into the academic year, it has be- come a trend of the times.
