The center, which has asked the Justice Department to in- vestigate GM's handling of the issue, wrote Transportation Sec- retary John A. Volpe asking him to obtain all of the firm's perti- nent documents. The center said the documents are headed for destruction be- cause of a GM decision to retain customer complaint and product failure records for one year,in- stead of the three years they were kept under what the center said was an unwritten'policy. GM declined comment until it can study the letter. The center said the record re- tention policy was changed after it charged on Aug. 30 that GM records s h o w e d the steering failures to be a safety defect, yet GM decided not to report the alleged defect, as required by law. The c e n t e r cited reliable sources within GM but declined to name them. The center was f'ounded by Ralph Nader, but in a recent controversy over a $10,000 grant received from the * American Trial Lawyers Association, then refused, Nader said the center's director is neither his employe nor representative. Nader, in a separate interview, called the Cadillac case "a very serious violation of the law. There's no question GM is now in a turmoil." The Traffic Safety Act was passed six years after the Cadil- lacs were manufactured, but Nader contended the law applies to cars still on the road, regard- less of when they were made. The center's director, Lowell Dodge, said initially that 18,000 pitman arms were replaced on the 285,000 Cadillacs produced in 1959 and X1960. Dodge estimated 100.000 of the cars are still on the road. REFERENDUM SLATED FOR NOV.

According to Van Valkenburg, the intent of the original abortion law, passed in 1846, was toprotect the lives of women in an era when abortion was a dangerous opera- tion. He states that since 1846, ad- vances in medicine have made abortions during the first trimes- ter at least as safe as childbirth itself. Therefore, the intent of the original law will no longer be! served by outlawing abortions.

Forest at Ann Street 57 CUSTOMER HOURS WEEKLY SATURDAY DRIVE IN BANKING By DAVE BURHENN The University has ordered its operating units not to spend ap- proximately one per cent of their allocated funds this year. Though the cuts may not be felt on campus immediately, they may eventually mean more closed class sections and fewer new teaching fellows this year. The cutback was caused by a gap between incoming state rev- enues and rising operating costs, especially in the area of student aid, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs A 11 a n Smith. Adver The University of advertising (i.e. th offers you EXPERI writing. St Mon.-Fri. 1 tising C The order came after the State Legislature cut both the Univer- sity's and Gov. Milliken's re- quests for increases in student aid funds and faculty salaries. The request was part of the higher education bill. The University had originally asked for a total budget increase of $18 million, with $2.7 million of this in additional student aid funds and salary increases of 11a per cent for faculty. Milliken pared these requests to $10.2 million in additional funds, $926,000, and 6.5 per cent, respectively. In the final appropriation, pass- ed by lawmakers this summer, the student aid increases were cut to $152,000 and salary in- creases trimmed to 4.8 per cent above last year's levels. According to Smith, the Re- gents decided that the Oppor- tunity Program for disadvant- aged and minority students de- manded a financial commitment from the University. They voted to spend $6.7 million of the Uni- versity's general fund budget for student aid. This total is $1,800,000 greater than last year's student aid al- .are5er location, 78 per cent of which is going to the Opportunity Pro- gram. According to Smith, the most satisfactory way to balance the budget after this move was to authorize one per cent cuts in all University units. Dr. John Romani, associate vice president for academic af- fairs, stated in a Universify press release, "We anticipate that tbe funds now available should be sufficient to meet our needs for the fiscal year and should enable the University to meet the minor- ity student enrollment objectives for 1972-1973."
