In fact, the forms should be in the mail today in a new system that provides partial trans- cripts listing only the most recent term's grades. The abbreviated new reports will still contain cumulative grade points and total credits, but the complete records reflecting all the work done previously at the University will be eliminated. The schools of law, medicine, dentistry and en- gineering will not be affected. The previous system was changed partly because of student criticism over the delay. The new system will definitely be faster, and hopefully cheaper as well. Associate Registrar Douglas Wooley said that since the time spent copying will be greatly reduced, costs in personnel and supplies should be reduced as well. He could not predict how much cash the system will save. Student regents It's a statewide student victory to begin the new year: Gov. William Milliken has signed into law a bill to permit students to sit on the governing boards of Michigan colleges and universities. The measure was sponsored in the state legislature by Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor). Milliken said the new act "may serve as a productive step in improving relationships between administrators and students." The measure also guarantees 23-year- old Michael Einheuser a seat on Wayne State's Board of Governors. Without the signature, Ein- heuser would have faced a court battle to retain his seat. State of cosmos As inevitably as winter, University astronomer Hazel "Doc" Losh has issued her State of the Cosmos report. And she reports that the weather will get colder this month despite longer daylight )ours, due to the "lag of the seasons." Tpays will become "lopsidedly longer" by one hour near January's end. She explains that the lengthening will be noticeable in the evening. "This can be raced to the fact that our clocks run at a constant rate while the earth actually speeds up and slows down in a regular, predictable pattern during its yearly orbit around the sun," says Doc. Mean- while, stay tuned for the conjunction of Venus and Mercury this month. Astronomy lecturer James Loudon reports that from January 10-27, the planets will be so close in the west-southwest "that a fifty- cent piece held at arm's length will cover both of them." They will be closest January 17-18, when they will appear to be "a spectacular, differently colored double star," says Loudon. Dope note State Sen. Basil Brown (D-Highland Park) is following the recent Washington fad of car trouble- L trend that has all but spelled ,the demise for Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Wilbur Mills. But Brown has added a new twist-pot. The 48-year-old senator was, stopped Tuesday night for erratic driving when Eaton County deputies found both marijuana and hashish, in undisclosed amounts, in Brown's car. Brown's arraignment in Charlotte yesterday kept him from the opening session of ,he new legislature. But that's not his only goof: the senate dean, who has 18 years' seniority, already has a pending court case for driving under the influence of alcohol. -appenin gs .. . are topped today with a lecture by Dr. Roderick MacFarquhar, a labor member of the British Parliament and associate of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Election director Steve Kelly sL et~LU11L By GORDON ATCHESON The University Board of Re- gents, at its December meeling, unanimously approved a $1 mil- lion increase in student loans for this academic year because worsening economic conditions have led to an unexpectedly high rate of borrowing. Originally, about $1 million had been budgeted for loans this year, but that money has dwin- dled quickly. DURING the past fiscal year, the University made federally guaranteed loans to 840 stu- dents.
