THE Summer Daily Vol. LXXXIII, No. 49-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Friday, July 27, 1973. Ten Cents Twelve Pages uition Read and weep By DAN BIDDLE President Robben Fleming said he "deeply re- STUDENT FEE RATES PER ACADEMIC TERM those among us who eat food, travel in gretted" having to raise tuition to unearthly lev- lannh e.uinsited taten RESIDENT '72-'73 '73-'74 Increase For ane i gasonne-powerea venicles, and pay tuition to the University, 1973-74 is going to be a very rough year. Phase IV will probably push gas to 70 cents a gallon, and hamburger to $2 a pound. But if that isn't bad enough, "Phase 24" - the University's newly approved 24 per cent tuition hike - may send us from the registration lines to the bread- lines. THE BIG BOOST is complex in its technicali- ties but simple in its meaning: the Supreme Court's June 18 decision to ax the old six-month nonenrollment residency requirement, topped off by ever-present inflation, will cost students any- where from 15 to 30 per cent higher tuition. The Regents - the eight people who make the final decisions around here - approved the re- cord hikes in a special telephone poll yesterday. ,11V .110aG VaV~ y LIt 1C U111J111 had "no other recourse" if Michigan is to remain a "top notch" university. AND THE ACTUAL figures are certainly re- grettable. (See chart.) For example, if you're an in-state freshman, semester tuition will leap from $348 to $400. Or if you're a non-resident junior, your fee for the whole year will climb a whop- ping $540, to $2800 from last year's $2260. Graduates will get the worst deal: a 30 per cent hike in most categories. Resident medical stu- dents who paid $1260 last year will now shell out $1600 to spend another year at this top-notch in- stitution. Administration officials echoed Fleming's view that the tuition increase is "our only choice," and offered complex explanations for the size of the hike.

The Senate Water-r gate committee voted unanimously to sue .....:: Y-: him; and prosecutor Archibald Cox chal- lenged him in court.:. Thus, an issue which began with a simple burglary 13 months ago was launched into an unprecedented constitu- tional test of strength certain to climax before the U.S. Supreme Court. NIXON SAID through a White House spokesman that he would abide by a definitive ruling by the high court and expressed confidence that the eventual decision would uphold him. Meanwhile at the Watergate committee hearing, John Ehrlichman testified that there was another White House "plumb- ers" unit investigation which cannot be made public. Ehrlichman, a former top Presidential aide, said revealing the operation would compromise national security. THE DAY'S EVENTS began to unfold when Nixon notified the Senate Watergate committee by letter that he would not; comply with the committee's two sub- poenas. They demanded that he turn over f his tape recordings, memoranda and docu ments bearing on the Senate's investigation of last year's wiretapping and burglary at the Watergate headquarters of the Demo- cratic National Committee. Nixon also wrote U.S. District. Court Judge John Sirica, in answer to a sub- poena from Cox, that he would net release oto SEN. HOWARD BAKER (R-Tenn.), left, and Sen. Sam Ervin raise their hands to signal an affirmative vote as the Senate Wat ergate committee unanimously voted to ask the court to make the White House produce the White House tapes and other docu See NIXON, Page 10 - ments. In other words, the committee voted to sue the President.
