ALTHOUG1 most of the can-
didates agree that the Univer-
sity now faces a dismal finan-'
cial future, few hopefuls have
announced any concrete sug-
gestions for avoiding a financial
squeeze.
All hopefuls say they oppose
tuition increases, except as a
last resort. In fact, Hoffman,
Kohn and Power claim to favor'
a tuition rollback.
Nor is there much support for
cutting the number of faculty
members or University-spon-
sored research to cut the bud-
get. HRP candidates declare
however, that ".'big corporations
and the U. S. government are+
the prime benefactors from re-7
search."
DEMOCRATS Power
and Roach favor a comprehen-
sive student loan proposal to
ease the financial burden on,
students.
The plan, backed by Demo-'
cratic gubernatorial candidate;
Sander Levin, would make loansI
available to most incoming stu-
dents -- not just those in the
lowest income bracket. The
funds would cover most Univer-
sity tuition and room-and-board1
costs, and would be handled
through local banks.1
According to Roach, "Levin's4
plan will help bridge the gap.
between student needs and sui-
tion costs." He added that the
proposal is "basically a zero

cost plan. There will have to
be an initial outlay of funds,,
but experience has shown that'
most students repay the loans."
REPUBLICAN and HRP can-
didates attack Levin's plan as
"impractical." Kohn argues
that "loans are a fine thing, but
they create problems, becausei
of today's tight money market."1
Candidates are unanimously
vague on the subject of where1
to cut the budget to loosen the
tight financial situation. They
all insist they will study the1
situation and make the best
decision possible.
ON ANOTHER issue, Regent
candidates were almost unani-
mously opposed to a recom-
mendation made last week byt
the Governor's Commission onc
Higher Education. The commis-t
sion urged that the Regents be
appointed rather than elected.
Under the plan, which re-
quires a state constitutional
amendment, the governor would
appoint Regents to a nine-mem-
ber board for six year terms,
subject to legislative approval.
At present, the eight Board
members are chosen in state-
wide elections for eight-year
terms.
As might be expected, all the
major candidates agree that
Regents should be elected.'

"A P P 0 I N T M E N T S General Frank Kelley's ruling
would mean the same old kind last year that there would be a
of political games," Hoffman "conflict of interest" involved
says. She says the governor's in the seating of a student Re-
appointments would likely give gent.

is engulfing educational institu-
tions as well as other areas of

The five remaining candi-
dates are Joseph Toth and
James Horvath, who represent
the Socialist Labor Party;
Steve Brede and Claudia Hom-
mel, from the Socialist Work-
ers Party; and Barbara Bettel,
representing the U. S. Labor
Party.

Upton says he would "have
to disagree with the Governor's
Commission. As an elected of-
ficial, a Regent can be more
responsible to the electorate
rather the governor or the par-!
The Commission also called
last month for the "removal of
any legal barriers prohibiting
students, otherwise qualified,z
from serving on university gov-j

ALL THE candidates argue
that students should be allowed
to campaign for and be seatedi
on the Board. Several hopefuls,

WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Men perceive women and women perceive themselves. These
attitudes and percepions are not subject to legislation.
What is subject to legislation, is the availability of oppor-
tunity. Women must have the same opportunity in all areas as
men-education, private industry, government.--LIFE

John W. Gardner. Chairman (202) 833-1200
Congressman Marvin L. Esch October 21, 1974
412 Cannon Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Congressman Esch:
The National Common Cause and the Common Cause of the Second Congres-
sional District of Michigan wishes to thank you for your support of the Common
Cause legislation to promote effective campaign finance reform in the United States.
Much has happened in the area of campaign finance legislation since you met
with the representatives of the Second Congressional District-Common Cause in
May of 1974. The Common Cause members were impressed in May with some of
the far-reaching provisions of the legislation which you had proposed, even though
they differed with those of the Common Cause at that time. We were impressed
with the fact that some of the provisions in your proposed legislation went even
further and were even more progressive than those which were proposed as the
Common Cause program under the Udall-Anderson legislation.
The Common Cause of the Second Congressional District, at the urging and
request of the national office in Washington, wishes to express its appreciation for
your willingness to sacrifice your own legislation in order to support the Common
Cause program for campaign reform. This has been of particularly critical impor-
tance with the three key amendments on the legislation in Congress which received
your support as regards the Common Cause proposal.
It is the type of support which Common Cause wishes to recognize and
commend in any legislator that can place the public interest in honest elections at
the top of the priority list for legislation, and clearly that is what you have done in
this case.
You must realize, of course, that Common Cause does not and cannot endorse
any candidate for public office. This letter of commendation can only be considered
by you as a statement of thanks and appreciation for work well done as a Congress-
man and for service which we believe was in the public interest.
Very truly yours,
COMMON CAUSE
SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
