Interplanetary beings? DETROIT-Detroit rock station WWWW is farrr ooout, past the stratosphere as a matter of fact. Since Monday the station has been sending signals into outer space every other hour with the hopes of contacting interplanetary beings. Program Director Ira Cook felt the communication was necessary because the earth has sent nothing but "bad vibes" into space with things like missiles. By transmitting music he hopes to induce warm vibes or at least a response by this weekend. "I wouldn't bet my life or my Volkswagen on it," said Cook, "but you never know."

Hanne 'Lysen, a Copenhagen housewife, has become the center of a storm of protest against a sharp and sudden increase in food prices following Denmark's entry into the European Common Market. After the government's refusal to reduce sales taxes on food, Lysen collected over 15,000 signatures on a petition in protest. She is also promoting a week-long boycott of dairy products throughout the nation. tDope note NEW YORK-Yesterday a three-man team from Newsday, a New York city suburban newspaper, pinpointed Munich, Germany, as a crucial way station in the narcotics traffic moving between ' Turkey and the United States. Newsday quoted a spokesperson for the city's narcotics police as saying, "(Munich) is a control station. Morphine base is unloaded here and about an equal share is stored and transferred 'on." While Germany has no heroin problem, the reporters noted, morphine addiction is grow- ing. Pieta restored VATICAN CITY-Art lovers rejoice! The Vatican announced yesterday that the finishing touches have been put to the restora- tion of Michelangelo's world-famous sculpture, the "Pieta," which was damaged in a hammer attack last May. Experts have washed and polished the sculpture, which portrays the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Christ, and they claim that it will look more beautiful than it has for centuries.

Superrooster weirdo WEST POINT, Calif.-Weirdo, a 22 pound superrooster, is so big and rough that he has killed two cats,. crippled a dog and ripped through a wire fence to attack and kill his 18 pound, half- grown, son. However, Grant Sullens, Weirdo's owner, hopes to in- crease his flock of heavy-weight hens so he can offer the breed to the world. Sullen's chicken breeding began seven years ago when his father won a truckload of live stewing chickens in a dice game. Five thousand chickens' later, Sullens had Weirdo. "I lucked out," Sullens said. "Hybrids aren't supposed to be able to reproduce, but Weirdo could," he said. When?

'U given $14 million less than requested By DAVID BURIIENN Special To The Daily LANSING-Gov. William Milliken released his $5 billion state budget yesterday, and the University appears to have 1 landed on' the short end of the financial stick. Although the state is expecting a $147 million budget surplus, Milliken recommended that the University receive some $14 million dollars less than it requested last fall. The total 1973-74 operating fund allocation would be $86,993,000, up $7.3 million from this year. Because of new budget formulation procedures, it is still difficult to precisely analyze what the figures will mean to students and faculty. However, it does appear that increases requested for salary hikes, student aid, and new program funds have been cut-in some cases drastically. Commenting on the student aid allocation, Vice-president for Academic Affairs Allan Smith said, "The executive budget seems to ignore the fact that the University is continuing to turn away fully- qualified Michigan students. And again, there is no recognition of our efforts to give disadvantaged students of Michigan a first-class educa- tion." Because of a new budgeting procedure, University officials still have not been able to determine exactly where cuts were made by the governor's budget office. For example, salary increases are supposed to total 4.4 per cent, 1.1 per cent below University requests. Smith says, however, "I can't, verify that figure with the information I have." In another case, the University asked for a $2.4 million increase tinder the program heading "Health Sciences Professions Instruction." Smith said that the amount included funding for "twelve or thirteen specific programs." The vice-president bitterly attacked the salary increases recom- mended in the budget. "For several years we have shared in the austerity resulting from inadequate revenues, and we have seen our competitive position' decline, compared with salaries paid at other leading institutions of higher education. "Now, in a time of relative prosperity and higher revenues for, Michigan, instead of compensating for years of below-cost-of-living increases, the salary recommendation is more than a point below the; federal guideline for non-inflationary increases." In addition to the $87 million allocated for general operating expenses, the governor's budget provides for another $16.5 million in capital outlay expenditures-primarily building construction and renova- tion. When analysis of the fiscal situation is completed, the next move, for the University will take place in the state legislature, where final budgetary action is taken. Hearings in the Senate begin in a month, and administrators will be present to plead their case-as Smith says, "we haven't given up yet." Milliken's total budget contains within it a $146.5 million surplus, a sum that will be passed on to state residents in tax cuts. He told legislators yesterday that the state is in such a good financial position that "for the first time in my tenure as governor, it is possible to present a sound realistic spending plan to accomplish state program purposes without the anxiety of balancing the current, enacted budget."I Milliken bases the surplus on an expanding economy, federal revenue sharing, a successful lottery, and tightening' of some spending.I GQv.

'U'budget troubles continue By CINDY HILL The annual budget battle between the governor and the legislature over University funding may be a depressing "tradition," accord- ing to Vice President for Academic Affairs Allan Smith, but if history repeats itself the University will not come out the winner. Examination of the past six years of legislative decisions following the governor's recommendations shows that they have been, at times, as extreme in their cut- backs as in their increments. In yesterday's decision, Gov. Milliken recommended a $96.1 mil- lion budget allocation for all branches of the University's cam- puses, undercutting the Univer- sity's proposed increase of $22 mil- lion by $14.8 million. University officials say they are hoping for an increase when the governor's' recommendations reach the state legislature. Past experi- ence, however, indicates that they may have little to pin their hopes on. Within the last decade, the legis- lature has been generally stingy with the University. From 1966 until 1971 the lawmakers decrea.ed the allocations recommended by See GOV., Page 8 ALASKAN OIL: Coui urt r( pipeline WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The controversial Alaska pipeline was given a severe blow last night when a U. S. Court of Appeals reinstated an injunction prohibiting its construction. The ruling, sought by environmental groups, temporarily blocks the pipeline which would bring oil to the U. S. from Alaska's North Coast Reserves. The action comes amidst the growing energy crisis that has become increasingly apparent across the US. The Nixon administration had_ backed a con- sortium of oil companies which sought right- of-way permits for building the pipeline to tap the huge reserves on the north slope, estimated at over 10 billion barrels. Judge J. Skelly Wright said the court was fully aware, in making the decision, of the ob- vious magnitude and current importance of the interests at stake. He said these were: "Billions of gallons of oil at a time when the nation faces an energy crisis 0 block of serious proportions; hundreds of millions of dollars . . . for the state of Alaska . ." The oil companies, which have seen the cost of the pipeline project nearly triple in the long legal fight over the past three years to over 2.5 billion dollars, are expected to carry the case to the Supreme Court. Seven judges of the appeals court sent the case back to the district court ordering it to is- sue an order enjoining the Secretary of the In- terior from issuing the right-of-way permit. Four voted in the majority and three concurred in part and dissented in part. It appears questionable that the Supreme Court could rule on the Appeals Court decision before its current term ends in June, unless the justices agree the case is of such importance as to warrant being taken on an expedited ba- sis. The Supreme Court could, however, grant a stay that would preserve the status quo until the new court year begins in October.
