NEW YORK ( - The three
major networks broadcast Pres-
ident Ford's Kansas City speech
live last night, but only after
a formal White House request
that drew a grumble from CBS
and an expression of concern
from NBC. There were no
gripes from ABC.
CBS and ABC said they in-
itally decided against live cov-
erage of the speech on the basis
of news judgent. But NBC said
it had made no decision on live
coverage prior to the formal re-
quest for air time.
White House Press Secretary
Ron Nessen, a former NBC
newsman, said in a statement
approved by Ford and issued at
midday yesterday that "the net-
works did not feel that it was
newsworthy" to air live cover-
age of how Americans can fight
inflation and conserve energy.
Therefore, he said, "We have

this year."
S t a t e appropriation figures
make up the balk of the Uni-
versity's General Fund Budget
(this year $158 million) which
pays for such programs as
teaching, research, student fi-
nancial aid, counseling services
and administration.
In last week's letter, Milliken
had said to "assume that tui-
tion increases and enrollment
decreases are not viable alter-
natives" to make up revenues
lost if state appropriations to
the Ann Arbor campus are
slashed from this year's 5105.5
million to $101.3 million, which
the governor targeted for next,
year's budget.
HOWEVER, the governor now
admits that the appropriations
for next year will almost cer-
tainly total more than $106j
million.

A POLITICIAN'S PREROGATIVE
One hundred and sixty-four times in the last two years Rep.
Bullard exercised this prerogative. One hundred and sixty-
four times he did not vote and the people of the 53rd District
did not have a voice in the political process. I believe it is
wrong for a politician not to vote on an issue, especially if it
is to his or her benefit to remain silent.
