The r e - quest for 1971-72 state appro- priations totals $95.6 million. The budget proposal now goes to the Bureau of the Budget in the governor's office, where, if past experience is an indication, it willI be cut before being presented to the Legislature in January. No tuition increases are in- cluded in the budget plan, which forsees the University spending $143.6 million for general expens- es in 1971-72. The present gen- eral fund budget is $121.2 million. "The figures in the original re- quests from the schools and col- leges were drastically reduced, but the remaining figure is still large." Vice President for Academic Af- fairs Allan Smith said at the Re- gents meeting. Smith explained that the $22 million hike is necessary to offset inflationary effects on salaries, equipment and supplies as well as to provide more funds for select- ed programs. More than $10 million of the requested increase would go to- wards higher salaries and wages. "Our salary program has not kept pace with inflation, civil service wages and pay in private indus- try," Smith said. Another $1.4 million of the additional funds asked for by the' Regents would be used to increase student aid money, especially the Opportunity Awards Program for disadvantaged students. Thz remainder would pay for' items such as library materials and services, computer services, and other non-salary needs. Since the Legislature has ap- proved increases in University ap- propriations of only $4-5 million in the last few years, observers doubt the Legislature will give the University anywhere near $22 miil-" lion in additional funds. "Our job is to outline what we, think we need" Smith explained,j acknowledging that the requested increase might not be granted. "It's no secret that the state is not going to have that kind of money." , He denied, however, that the University asked for more money' than it needs, anticipating cuts by governor's office and the Legisla- ture. "I don't think universities asked for more than they need, al-; though they might ask for more money than they expect," he said. Health Ser inI Toledo *i Regents uphold U' pOSition on .GLF The Regents yesterday reaffirmed conditions set by Pres- ident Robben Fleming for use of University facilities by the Gay Liberation Front for a midwest conference on homosex- uality.. However, Vice President for Student Services Robert Knauss said afterwards that some accomodation with GLF could probably be worked out. "My own position is that the group has demonstrated good faith and should be able to use the facilities," he explained. Fleming said the decision on the matter would be left to Knauss but that Knauss' determination w ou 1 d likely be brought to Fleming and the ? other executive officers for Re en s final approval. 15 On April 20, Fleming denied a GLF request for use of the Union ' t en IJ, for the midwest conference, citing strict state laws against homosex- uality..

Barker has stayed for periods need for better campus communi- cation, said "I hope this particular publication will get before the community the facts of what is taking place at the University." # The Regents also approved;I the appointment of tw o fa- culty members and tw o administrators to a committee that will supervise ROTC curri-. culum and approve appointment of ROTC instructors. Two student members will be appointed by Stu- dent Government Council. In addition, the Regents revis- ed their by-laws to conform with their decision to change the status of ROTC from a depart- ment to a program and to recog- nize ROTC instructors by their military rank instead of by- aca- , demic titles.

McCracken did not comment on the GM strike, other than saying the strike would reduce the growth in the Gross National Product for this fiscal quarter but that it in no way endangers the economy. "I don't think there is any point beyond which the situation would be intolerable," he said. *~ :r .in
