ZSI e irl ig xn ttu THREATENING High-82 Low-55 Cloudy, chance of showers Vol. LXXXII, No. 26-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, June 15, 1972 Ten Cents Eight Pages Bill slashes * * * $5 million Rot orders i Soff request o By JIM O'B IEN P 7 ' The State Senate yesterday approved a $341.5 million high- er education bil including a drastically reduced appropria- tion for the, University. The measure, an amended form of Gov. William Milliken's original budget proposal, calls for a $5.6 million funding in- crease for the University next year. Milliken's plan had originally provided $10.2 million in new funds for the University, still far short of the $11 million in- crease the University had re- quested from the state. The present form of the bill requires cuts in the area of sal- ary increases and added finan- cial aid to students, both cruc- ially necessary next year, ac- cording to Allan Smith, vice president for academic affairs. The University had asked for $2.7 million over last year's al- lotment to financial help for students, and faculty salary in- creases averaging 11 per cent. Milliken revised the figures downward to $926 thousand for student aid and 6.5 per cent as an average pay raise. The amended version of the bill passed by the House cut them still further to $152 thous- and in student aid, and raises averaging 4.8 per cent. If the budget is not revised, money for these projects will have to be taken from some other area of the .University, according to Smith. The average increase in fund- ing for state colleges was 11 per cent over last year with the University listed as receiving a 10 per cent hike in appropria- tions. According to Fedele Fauri. vice president for State Rela- tions and Planning the actual increase is two per cent less than that. because of a cut in money received last year by the University not reflected in the budget. "We hopeto get some consid- eration from the House," where the bill will be discussed next week before any final action is taken on it, Fauri said. He plans to ask the House Appropriations C o m m i t t e e's Higher Education Subcommit- tee for a hearing to present the University's reasons for re- questing more funds. The University's Flint cam- pus fared somewhat better, re- ceiving a 48.8 per cent raise in their budget. The figure rep- resentsthe large enrollment in- crease at that campus, com- pared to the static enrollment level here, Fauri pointed out. Other features contained in the measure include an "ac- countability" clause, requiring schools to keep track of facul- ty work loads, and the num- ber of students taught, in an attempt to more accurately as- sess the financial needs of the various colleges. Funding for new law schools, to be started at Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and Grand Valley State College was also pro- vided in the bill. of etroit area schools DETROIT (-Desegregation of schools in Detroit and 53 suburbs was ordered yesterday by U.S. District Judge Stephen Roth, in a decision involving a 300-square-mile area with 750,000 school children. It was only the second time that a federal judge has ordered desegregation on an areawide basis. An earlier decision, consolidating three school districts in theRich- mond, Va., area, has been overturned by the 4th U.S. r{ Circuit Court of Apppeals. The head of the board of education in Detroit, where } the school system is 60 per cent black, said Roth's decision would be appealed. Roth did not order any particular desegregation plan yesterday. Instead, he out- lined the desegregation area and created a panel of nine education experts to draft a plan within 45 days. The panel is ordered to draw an interim plan involving some grades for implementation this September, with a complete plan for all grades to take effect in the' fall of 1973. Roth issued several specific guidelines for the panel: -Within each "cluster" of schools and districts, the racial makeup of each school and class -' is to reflect the racial balance of the cluster; -The faculty of each school should be at least 10 per cent black, with biracial administra- tive teams preferred; and -Busing of children should be kept to the minimum consistent with complete desegregation. Roth's order results from nearly two years of hearings and trials which began when the NAACP filed suit charging De- troit schools were segregated. The case eventually was ex- panded to include the state and the State Board of Education as defendants. Roth ruled last fall that De- -Associated press troit schools were segregated as the result of official government actions, and ordered metropoli- tan busing plans to be drawn up. In March, he rejected all De- troit-only integregation plans, saying full desegregation of the Detroit public schools could only 3e . come through the inclusion of suburban students. Roth's decision, while not un- expected, is expected to intensify the storm of anti-busing protest which has swept the Detroit area since the judge first pro- posed areawide desegregation last September. 0,000.

Kennedy considers VP post By The Associated Press Sen. Edward Kennedy ( - Mass.) said yesterday that he would consider running for vice president on a ticket headed by Sen. George McGovern (D.-S.D.), if that was the only way to beat President Nixon in November. Kennedy said later, however, that he would not take the job. "I can't foresee any circum- stances under which I might ac- cept," he said. In an interview with the Boston Globe, Kennedy had said that he might consider accepting the vice presidential slot. Judge Stephen Roth VALUED AT $60,000: News shares By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN Co-Editor The American Revolutionary Media (ARM) yesterday an- nounced that it had been granted control of 400 of the 500,000 out- standing shares of the Detroit News. ARM will liquidate the stock, according to George De- Pue, an ARM spokesperson. Guerin Scripps Wilkinson, a fifth generation News heir and mem- ber of ARM, came into legal possession of the shares as his inheritance on his nineteenth birthday. Wilkinson subsequently turned the shares over to ARM, making DePue their legal trustee.

"In my own mind, if it would make a difference, then it would really make a difference," the Globe quoted Kennedy in reply "The same general principles apply to not accepting the vice presidency as the presidency. I don't want to exclude all t he possibilities, because it would be presumptuous of me to turn down something that nobody has offered. I think Sen. i McGovern is within an eyelash of a first- ballot nomination," he said.
