Tuition News
They goofed, that's all there
is to it.
The University announced this
week that the controversial 24
per cent tuition hike had ladened
their bankroll with an excess of
3.75 million dollars in unex-
pected funds. Instead of rejoicing
over this happy surprise, Univer-
sity officials realized that they
had a lot of explaining to do.
You see, it was only a short
while back when President Flem-
ing and other high level admin-
istrators predicted that the tui-
tion hike would produce a paltry
2.5 million dollar excess. This
would be just, enough to cover
 losses incurred by thetsudden
influx of in-state residents into
the University. The discrepancy

60,000 dollars to the Office of
financial aid, and a 1.5 million
dollar contingency fund will be
set up to cover losses due to
student residency charges next
semester.
And what about returning some
of the money to students? There
is not too good a chance says
Vice President of Academic Af-
fairs Allan Smith, "its discuss-
able but highly unwise."
No vote
The overwhelming decision
came as a reminder to students
just who is wearing the pants
in LSA. In an almost unanimous
vote the LSA faculty defeated a
proposal that would have given
LSA stndents an equal voice in
the college's government.
The LSA pronosal, sponsored
by LSA Student Government V.P.
Clark Barquist and English Prof.
Marvin Felheim called for a
governing body composed of 50
faculty members elected by their
departments and 50 members of
the student body.
Philosophy Prof. Carl Cohen
called the proposal "poorly ar-
gued and " a bad job of work,"
and hoped that the propos-
al would be "put to rest for the
third and last time." In re-
sponse one student commented,
"you can be sure that we are
going to bring it up again."
Get Gill
There seems to be a certain
contingent of SGC who has made
it their number one goal in life
to bounce President Lee Gill.
A suit filed by 12 council mem-
bers from the Campus Coalition,
Screw SGC and Mad Hatter's
Tea Party, charged that Gill was
not a "student at the University
of Michigan for this term and
was not enrolled for the full term
previous to this term."
The charge is based on a
clause in SGC's constitution which
states that all "council mem-
bers must be enrolled students,
or students who were enrolled
in the previous full term.
An investigation revealed that
Gill was actually enrolled in
school this summer but drop-
ped out July 18 after most of
the term had been completed.
The bone of contention at this
point seems to be whether or not
the spring-summer half terms
constitute a "full term."
Complainant and SGC repre-
sentative David Faye, w e I1
known for his ability to split
hairs and knit-pick has decid-
ed, "As far as I am concerned,
Lee Gill is not SGC President."

LOOKING
this week's City Council meeting
the Inter Cooperative Council
led by President Gary Bement
and spokespersons Luther Buch-
e and 'ennis Pearson attacked
the city's proposed zoning change
which would allow many local
fraternities and sororities to be
converted to rooming houses.
They claim that if the change
goes into effect student controlled
housing will be drastically cut
back. In response Kelley New-
ton of Keim Realty, who initiate1
the rezoning retorted "we are
not trying to take land away
from students even though it
doesn't belong to them anyway."

Fleming attributed the Uni-
versity's commitment to such a
policy to the belief that, "f the
policy succeeds our Amerian so-
cietv will be better for it.'"-Ile

by the 1970 Black Action Move-

Board of Regents to agree to a

Although the University h a s
fallen short of its proposed goal
(present black enrollment is 8.6
per cent) he feels that "we are
a long way down the road toward
reaching our objective."

ANNOUNCES

Fleming on blacks
In an effort to aleviate t h e
qualms of some of the Uni-
versity's most active alumni,
President Fleming announced
this week that "the academic
standards of the University have
not been eroded by the increas-
ed minority enrollment."
Speaking before the Economic
Club of Detroit, Fleming e .plain-
ed that the University's increas-
ed black enrollment has been
achieved through vigorous re-
cruiting while retaining a high

developed, they feel, as a result
of the low number of students
applying for in-state status
(1607), as well as an "excess of
enrolled students".
"We always said that our fig-
ures were nothing but our best
estimate based on grave uncer-
tainties," Fleming explained.
In a valiant attempt to retain
some dignity, as well as to stem
off the threatened strike by
teaching fellows, it was decided
to spend the bulk of the surplus
on a 5.5 per cent salary hike for
TF's.
An Organization of Teaching
Fellows spokesman John Nelson
said the possibility of a strike
still exists as the TF's are still
at odds with the administration
on several other issues.
According to an official state-
ment, the executive offices will
