Regents drop in on
South Quad, Mark ley
(Continuedctrom Page 1)

presented the Regents with plans to
ease the congestion of traffic around
the University Hospital. One of the
plans calls for a four lane highway
through Huron Valley. The plan for the
highway, which would widen into six
lanes at one point, would ease traffic on
Fuller and Geddes Streets, said Kor-
man.
ALSO DISCUSSED was a divided
highway over the path now traced by
Fuller, Geddes and Glacier Way roads.
The acdess plans depend on the ap-
propriations now pending in Lansing on
the University Hospital replacement.
There is a possibility that the Univer-
sity Hospital will be moved off campus
if the state approves the money for
replacement.
During the public discussion session
immediately following the access
presentation, Art Prof. Robert Igelhart
said, "The idea of a multi-lane highway
is a simplistic and brutal solution."
Igelhart asked that more proposals be
made:.
Joseph Lee, who teaches in the Ar-
chitecture School, contended that the
decision is a moral one. "Where should
we look for moral leadership?" he
asked. A new highway would show that
"waste is a sign of progress," Lee said.
THE REGENTS finished the first day
of this month's meeting with an infor-
mal discussion of faculty concerns with
the Senate Advisory Committee for
University Affairs. Topics at the 8:00
session included faculty governance,
the role of research, tenure, faculty
salaries, affirmative action, and the
Graduate Employees Union (GEO).
One exchange about the role of
research showed the difference in
priorities between several of the
Regents and the faculty.
History Prof. Shaw Livermore said

that a faculty member who is regarded
as a researcher "would be viewed more
favorably" than one who was more in-
terested in teaching. He also said that
research "defines a great university."
REGENT GERALD DUNN (D-
Livonia) siad, "I'm very disheartened
to hear that a first rate teacher who
doesn't do research or service would
not be highly regarded by his peers."
Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey)
agreed that ''9 out of 10" Michigan
residents feel that "by far the most im-
portant thing is just how good the
teacher is." .
The elected officials postponed until
the December meeting a proposal to
relocate the Speech and Hearing Scien-
ces. At last month's meeting a plan was
revealed to move the program from the
Medical to Education School and drop
the undergraduate program.

Profs. predict 'stalled'
U.S. economy in '78

(Continued from Page 1)
"If Congress and the Carter admini-
stration fail to adopt greater fiscal
stimulus in the latter half of 1978, the
economy will be moving dangerously
close to recessionary conditions," said
Shapiro.
THE ECONOMISTS also warned that
if "monetary authorities fail to shift
toward ease by mid-1978," major con-
sumer purchases could be seriously af-
fected.
According to the forecast, these pur-
chases will increase by only 2.5 per cent
while last year's rate was nearly eight
per cent. The sharpest decline predict-
ed was for the auto industry, which
Hymans and Shapiro said will experi-
ence no growth.
The economic outlook for the state of
Michigan is to be presented at the con-
ference this morning.
THE EXPECTED GNP for 1978, ac-
cording to the RSQE is 3.6 per cent, 1.2
per cent less than the projected 1977
figure. As a result, slow economic ex-
pansion is expected.

The inflation rate is expected to climb
from its current level of 5.6 per cent to 6
per cent during the next year while
Hymans and Shapiro predict only a
slight dip in unemployment to 6.8 per
cent.
The economic outlook also projected
a "disappointing" 4.8 per cent rise in
business expenditures on plants and
equipment, a 2.7 per cent drop in resi-
dential construction expenditures, a 9.2
per cent increase in personal income
and a seven per cent gain in corporate
profits.
HYMANS, CHAIRMAN of the
University's economic department,
said the yearly economic forecast had
been "very accurate and not so ac-
curate" in its 25 year history. He said
the last two predictions have been just
about on the mark, adding that last
year's GNP prediction was off by a
mere half of a percentage point.
"Over the years," said Hymans,
"we've been reasonably accurate by
the standards of what other people are
able to do."
