that the South End has become an
"opinion journal."
The Board of Governors stated
that a student newspaper is nec-
essary to "publish the creative ef-

open forum of student opinion."
They said that the present staff
had been financially irresponsible
and that the South End had deter-
iorated into "horrible example
of college journalism." The Board
charged that some o fthe articles
had been "hateful, vicious, and
offensive."
The present staff feels that the
criticisms are totally unjustified.
Editor Cunningham, a senior ma-
joring in psychology, stated that
the Board just used the anti-
Semitic issue as a 'smokescreen'
and that they "took action because

Both Cunningham, who has been
working at the paper for four
years, and the rest of the staff in-

the end of the year. Cunningham
stated that the SNPB does not have

unless he is specifically charged.
He also said that he must be giv-
en a chance to answer the charges.
"I haven't been legally removed

The main legal basis of the Ap-
peals Court ruling had nothing to
do with environmental issues. In
the majority opinion Judge Wright
said that the oil companies behindj
the pipeline had sought to expand
the amount of land for the right of
way and were supported in this re-1
quest by the U. S. government.
The amount of land exceeded the
limits set by Congress under the
Mineral Leasing Act.
"We have no more power to
grant their request, for course,
than we have the power to increase
c o n g r e s s i o n a 1 appro-
priations," Judge Wright said.
. ..The power over the public
land thus entrusted to Congress is
without limitations."
Judge Skelly said that the courts
decision was reached in full knowl-
edge of the severe economic im-
pact stopping the pipeline would
have on Alaska and the companies.
"Any decision further enjoiningf
construction of this project will
impose serious costs on the oil
companies . . . who have made
substantial investments that can-
not begin to show a return until
oil begins to flow from their wells
at Prudhoe Bay," he said.
"The project means much need-
ed jobs and income to the people
of the state of Alaska, and develop-
ment of Prudhoe Bay oil resources
will bring forth badly needed reve-
nues for the Alaska state treas-
ury," he added.
"Recognizing these hardships,
however, we nevertheless are con-
strained to enjoin the Secretary of
the Interior from issuing One of
the permits which all parties re-
cognize is necessary for construc-
tion of the pipeline," the Judge
continued.
"We have determined that the
Secretary of the Interior lacks au-
thority to grant the special land
use permit for construction pur-
poses which Alyeska (a consortium
of leading oil companies %behind the
pipeline project) has requested,
and that the grant of this permit
constitutes a violation of both sec-
tion 28 of the mineral leasing act
and applicable bureau of land
management regulations."

Gov. and legislature continue
controversy- over 'U' budget
The Board said that the news-
paper had not been objective in
their news efforts and that the staff
had attempted to propagandize the
campus.* They charged that the
paper had attacked persons of var-
ious groups giving them no chance
for defense. Paul Pentecost, direc

the governor. Not until 1971 did
they add to the budget set by the
executive.
The last increase in the recom-
mendations had occurred in 1966;
when the state legislature granted
a $1 million hike on former Gov.
George Romney's $57.9 million al-
location.
In addition, the open-handed
legislature gave an additional
$100,000 for cancer research at the
University, $920,000 for the Mental.
Health Research Institute and $3.5
million earmarked solely for Uni-
versity Medical School buildings.
Romney, however, confronted
taxpayers the following year with
an ultimatum: choose higher taxes
or be prepared to "slash educa-
tional and other essential statea
services."
University allocations were cmn-
sequently "slashed" $3.1 million
under Romney's recommendations
to a total of $59.1 million, the low- t
est increase of any state univer-
sity in Michigan.
The University made upnthe dif-
ference with an increase in out-of-
state student tuition fees.
In 1968, the University requested
a $75.8 allocation from the state.
Romney approved $64.7 million ;n-
stead. University President Rob-
ben Fleming said he was "disap-
pointed." The following daly the.
legisalture lowered the sum to
$63.6 million.
'At this point, Fleming said a
tuitionincrease for the fall was a;
certainty and that "the only ques-
tion is the amount."
Under the threat of further sub-
stantial tuition increases for the
1969-70 year, the legislature ap-
proved an allocation almost identi-j
cal to Milliken's at $67.3 million
during the following year.
The continual rise of tuition fees
to compensate for allocations un-
able to support new programs andj
inflationary costs became an issue'
again in 1970.
The University's- request for S84
million was met with Millikeis
offer for $75.7 million. And the
state Senate argued the funds
down to $73.3 million.
When g o v e r n m e n t officials1
threatened still another tuition in-
crease, $1.2 million were added to1
the sum in the state House of Rep-
resentatives.
While Smith announced, "It's a
figure we can live with," Fleming
went ahead with the promiied tui-
tion hike.G
The trend of legislative cutbacks
on Milliken's proposals was re-
versed suddenly in 1971 when the
state Senate added $1.43 million
to the governor's suggested $76.31
million total.
This time, Fleming announced
that the budget situation was "vary

tight, but a brighter picture than
it was a little while ago."
And, like this year ,he' added
optimistically, "We still have hopes
for more."
However, this turn of events was
short-lived. Milliken's proposed $12
million increase for the present
fiscal year (four times the hike
suggested for the previous year)
was again dropped to a more con-
servative $7.3 mililon, bringing the
current budget to $79.8 million.
Despite the erratic history of
University funding, the adminis-
tration has expressed hope for in-
creased funding and is determined
to "try to work on the legislature."
"We haven't given up yet," says
Smith.
