Colburn's plan for human serv-
ices than allocated last year.
Senior citizens emphasized the
need for a city bus specifically
designated for their purposes.
Victor Turner, a senior cit-
zen, said "I think one item ef-
fectively left out (of Colburn's
recommendations) is transpor-
tation for senior citizens."
"MANY SENIOR citizens can
not drive, climb stairs, or even
walk-we want our own bus,"
said William Burns, a member
of the Burns Park Senior Citi-
zens' Governing Board.
City council further moved to
authorize some $1.5 million in
tax anticipation notes to for-
stall a cash overdraft for the
J"%
city.
City Administrator Sylvester
Murray said the notes are need-
ed to pay "April, May and!
June's bills."
The Municipal Finance Com-
mission must authorize the is-
sue of the notes but Murray
was hopeful saying "because
of our deficit they will look at
us closer but I think they will
approve the borrowing."
The city has a current debt
of $600,000 with a projected defi-
cit for this year of $286,050.

KANSAS CITY (M) - Artist
Thomas Hart Benton, who once
said an artist fails only when
he stops working, is dead at age
85 after just completing his last
mural.
Best known for his rugged
scenes of rural mid-America,
Benton collapsed in his studio,
apparently while inspecting his
final work-a mural depicting
the origins of country music.
WITH THE increased popular-
ity of abstract and expression-
ist! painting, Benton once con-
fessed that he was plagued by{
"gnawing suspicions of failuree"
but continued working.
"Merely to survive in that
pursuit is a success," he wrote
in the' third revised edition of
h i s autobiography. "Pictures

was strictly a Regental appoint-
ment. They bypassed the ad-
ministration's choice.''
The source contended that;
both Rhodes and President Rob-
ben Fleming had favored Frye
for the deanship, and that this
accounts for the administra-
tion's three-day silence on the
appointment, which the Re-
gents voted Friday in a tightly
closed session.
Neither the president and the
vice president were available
for comment yesterday. The
University has so far made no
official statement on the ap-
pointment of Cobb.
Assistant to the Dean John
Meeker observed, "The general
impression is that Rhodes was
very supportive of Frye, prob-
ably on the basis of his running
the college so well."
ASSISTANT to Vice-president
Rhodes Edward Dougherty con-
firmed the Regents' final author-
ity in the selection and said he
expected a statement from the
Administration within the week.

may fail to please, movements
may fail to survive, but the art-
ist has his rewards anyhow. He
may lose his public and his1
market and still get full com-
pensation for his efforts.
"The rewards of art, for the1
artist himself, are concomitants
of its practice. They lie in the
life-heightening acuteness of his
everyday occupational experi-
ences. The only way an artist
can personally fail is to quit
work."
MATTHEW Baigell of Rutgers
University, a leading authority
on Benton's work, said the Mis-
souri artist will "be considered
the last of the 19th century
painters who believed in the
American myth."
rs mum
The Regents, University
President Robben Fleming and
Rhodes all kept a tight clamp
on information yesterday, refus-
ing to comment on the Daily's
report.
Several high officials said the
fact Cobb's was a black woman
was the double-edged key to
her selection. One source claim-
ed, "Because the University
was having trouble with affirm-
ative action, they picked the
ideal person - a woman who
is black. It's perfect."
HOWEVER, Affirmative Ac-
tion Assistant Kathy Shortridge
denied that any groups had ex-
erted pressure on the univer-
sity.
Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs Charles Morris dismiss-
ed pressure from affirmative
action - concerned people as a
factor in the Regents' support
for Cobb. He asserted, "The
presence of one black woman
won't have that much of an im-
pact on total figures."
Associate Dean of Curriculm
Jean Carduner, who had re-
ceived no word from the admin-
istration, explained his disap-
pointment with the Regents'
move. "The faculty all wanted
Frye."
Mathematics Prof. Maxwell
Reade reported that several fac-
ulty members had called him
Sunday for clarification of the
unexpected appointment. Affirm-
ing his own support for Frye,
Reade emphasized, "You could
believe him."

Price and Policy Changes
The Health Service prices have been revised
as of January 1, 1975. Some policy statements
have also been revised, particularly in the
charges for infirmary care. The infirmary will
now be charging for inpatient care from the
first day rather than the sixth. If you have
questions regarding any prices, call the clinic
in which you are going to be seen.
All individuals using the Health Service who
already have insurance are urged to re-exam-
ine their policy to ensure proper coverage.
Those who do not have health insurance are
advised to obtain some. Questions on Student
Insurance should be directed to the Student
Government Council Office; Blue Cross ques-
tions, contact the Ann Arbor Blue Cross Of-
fice; questions regarding other types of insur-
ance should be directed to the local agent
listed in the telephone directory.
And remember, for the most efficient serv-
ice, your ID card is required on each visit to
