Despite massive tuition hikes, a total of 43,160 stu- dents are enrolled at the big 'U' this fall; 1,981 more than last year. This figure includes all three campuses with the largest jump coming at U-M Dearborn. Our own campus currently has 35,14 students, which is 529 more than we had a year ago. Commenting on the growth Vice-President for Academic Affairs Allan Smith said, "We are pleased that our anticipation has been realized. We also take pleasure at the continuing growth at our two regional campuses." Late billing Nope, it's not the tuition strike that's been causing the late delivery of tuition bills and the setback of the first payment deadline. According to Student Accounts Supervisor William Randall, you can blame the calendar, not the University. Because the first three days of the month fell on a weekend and Labor Day, it seems that the office was delayed in assessing football ticket fees. The delay, an annual event in the office, kept student accounts a full two days behind all month with their assessments: With the last working day falling on Sept. 28, the University decided to move the deadline to Oct. 2. As for any late bill arrivals, the Student Accounts Office claims all bills were in the mail by Sept. 21. Chalk an- other one up to the postal system, and, in terms of the tuition strike, hang in there folks Beat the heat A recently constructed house on North Campus has no electricity, no running water, no toilet facilities yet it contains an air conditioner. The air conditioner is no ordinary one, however, for the house is constructed in such a way as to allow the sun and wind to do all the heating and cooling necessary. According to Edward Kelly, the student director of the project, the system represents 'a possible alternative to man's over-con- sumption of gas, oil and other non-renewable energy sources. " Nice place to visit It had to happen-first the dorms, and then the coun- try's first coeducational prison. But some state legisla- tors claim that a little too much has been happening in the Framington, Mass., reformatory. They claim there have been "sexual orgies, wild parties and nude bath- ing" among the incarcerated nen and women. Others claim that the prison has become a "country club." Massachusetts Gov. Francis Sargent toured the building and pronounced the decorum something akin to that of a girls' finishing school. Skeptics, however, reportedly snickered, "What do you expect he would see?

Panel 0 1r 1 0 p- quizzes iTeming on, Heated exchanges characterize confrontation ee hike By REBECCA WARNER Universzity P r e s i d e n t Robben Fleming yesterday told a tuition hike forum that University officials now expect to find the recent fee increase will generate more than the revenues needed to cover loss- es incurred by adoption of the new residency requirements. However, Fleming refused to tell the nearly 100 persons attending what the University will do if such an excess in revenues appears. HE CLAIMED that if he prom- ised a partial tuition rebate, "you would regard that as a commit- ment which I don't know if we can keep until we see what all the fac- tors are." Estimates that the University would lose S2.5 million in fee rev- enue due to students obtaining in- state status under the new rules was based on an expected reclassi- fication of approximately 1,000 graduate studen:s and 400 under- graduates, Fleming explained. However ,he said, only 1.600 stu- dents have applied for reclassifi- cation :his term, many fewer than officials had predicted. IN ADDITION, an expected fall- off in enrollment due to the new fees has failed to materialize, sig- naling a rise in total fee income regardless of loss due to reclassi- fication, Fleming said. This increase "may be a one year phenomenon that we've got to watch," he warned. Fleming said repeatedly that a statement on what will be done with excess revenues will not be made by University officials until November. ONE POSSIBLE use of the extra fends, he suggested, would be to finance a campus recreational pro- gram recently approved by the Re- gents to be funded by a fee as ment of S10 per student. However, the excess "may b2 a considerably bigger figure :a that,." he said. In the course of the often perative hour-and-a-half seascn.

SAC spokesman Terry marn2r and Daily reporter Dan 3id challenged Fleming with regard to the tuition hike's effect on tow- middle and low-income students. "If the University is really truly not involved in pushing for those same interests, then we ask them to join with us in a general strike until we get those funds," said Winter. "WHY H A S THE University chosen to put the entire burden of the financial crisis on the stu- dents?'' Biddle asked. "At what point can students be sure they won't be priced out of the educational market? Just how important is the student body to the University? Are we expend- able?" Fleming replied that a tuition increase when s t u d e n t s were priced out by such a hike "would be a self-defeating move."

The union set the Oct. 22 strike deadline Thursday. It was the first disclosure that the UAW had set a negotiating timetable with the second largest U. S. automaker. LINGERING problems between the UAW and Chrysler Corp. have slowed the Ford talks, but the two sides are continuing to bargain on the terms of a new three-year con- tract to cover 185,000 blue collar Ford workers. "Ford is being hard nosed on everything." said UAW Vice Pres- ident Ken Bannon, who heads the union negotiating team at Ford. "If Ford keeps on the table the material they now have, there will be a strike." Under existing procedure, the UAW would set Oct. 19 as the deadline for a contract settlement with Ford and if no settlement is reached by that date, it would give the three-day strike notice. BANNON SAID, however, that the final strike date decision - if necessary - would come only af- -ter the UAW resolves all its dif- ferences with Chrysler. The union said it wants Ford to go even farther than Chrysler in such issues as voluntary overtime, extra holidays, medical and safety benefits and retirement programs. When Chrysler and the UAW reached tentative agreement, however, Union President Leonard Woodcock said he considered their contract a pattern for the entire U. S. and Canadian auto industry. BUT AT THAT time he also in- dicated that the union "would ac- cept nothing less" in bargaining with Ford and subsequently Gen- eral Motors. journalists Justice Dept. claims VP lacks immunity WASHINGTON T- Lawyers for Vice President Spiro Agnew subpoenaed a number of newspeople yesterday in an attempt to make them reveal the source of news leaks about the Agnew investigation. An unconfirmed report indicated that a subpoena was also served on the Justice Department, ordering appearance for deposition-taking next week.

THE DEPARTMENT, however, did release a statement arguing that the Vice President cannot seek constitutional protection from in- dictment and prosecution. The statement suggested that if Agnew is indicted by a grand jury investigating possible violations of extortion, conspiracy, bribery and tax laws, trial could be delayed at Agnew's request to allow Congres- sional consideration of the im- peachment proceedings. Reporters from The New York Times, New York Daily News, Washington Post, Washington Star- News, CBS. Time and Newsweek magazines were ordered to appear in federal court in Baltimore next week with their notes of conver- sations with official sources. SPOKESPERSONS FOR t h e s e organizations said they will vigor- ously oppose the action taken by Agnew's attorneys. "We will op- pose this step in the courts with all the resources at our com- mand," a New York Times spokes- person declared. U.S. District Court Judge Wal- ter Hoffman, specially assigned to handle the Agnew probe, has given Agnew's lawyers authority to is- sue the subpoenas. Depositions are to be sealed and not to be made part of any public file, under Hoff- man's order. Agnew has denounced news leaks about the investigation, which in- cludes allegations of kickbacks, and singled out Astt. Atty. Gen. Henry Petersen as the source of damaging leaks. PETERSEN AND the Justice Department have denied the Vice President's charges. President Nixon defended Petersen, saying "if I did not approve Mr. Peter- sen's handling of the investigation he would be removed at this time." Prior to authorizing subpoena power for Agnew's lawyers, Judge Hoffman called in the grand jury hearing evidence in the Agnew case and warned the jurors to dis- regard news stories involving the inquiry because they "frequently are wholly or partially inaccur- Agnew They S4 By BILL HEENAN As the name of the party indi- cates, one of the campus' newest political parties - Screw SGC (SSGC) - is out to "shock" stu- dents into realizing how their stu- dent government is "wallowing in corruption," according to party founder Matt Hoffman. Like most of the student politi- cal parties, SSGC aims to make Student Government Council "hon- est" if they win in the all-campus elections scheduled for Oct. 9 through Oct. 11. UNLIKE MOST of the student political parties, SSGC concedes that theyshave virtually no chance for success. In defense ofhs party's lowx-key ayw Screw effort, Hoffman says, "If it really was going to be a fair election, we could devote more time and energy to run a vigorous campaign." He says he fears "subversive" elements on SGC will throw the election. AND HOFFMAN, with co-found- er Jim Hudler, claims discussion of proposals is irrelevant. "We can't talk about our party's proposals until we clean up all the shit lying around SGC." Nevertheless, SSGC has definite- ly taken some controversial stands: they oppose the tuition strike and want to come down hard on cam- pus crime. HUDLER SUMMED up party SGC' sentiment concerning the tuition strike: "We think the burden of payment should rest on students. Being ibertarian, we're opposed to publ education." SSGC - composed mostly of dis illusioned members of last spring's unsuccessful right-wing S T 0 P party - criticizes SGC President Lee Gill's conduct on strike mat- ters as being too little and t o o late. Hoffman thinks :he addition of the Black Action Movement (BAM) demands to the tuition strike pro- gram was SGC's biggest mistake. THE BAM demands, which call- ed for 10 per cent black enroll- ment by 1975, are "only a racist See 'U', Page 2 ate."

The Vice President wrote the Washington Post "It doesn't make a great deal of difference who in the Justice Department dropped this little morsel in the hands of Mr. Graham. "The fact remains that four newspapers of considerable circu- lation left the distinct impression with their readers that Mr. Pet- ersen made this improper, unpro- fessional and highly prejudicial remark . . . The Justice Depart- ment is wrong and has not denied that wrong."
