'U' urged to involve students, faculty in b

idget

By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
In an attempt to widen the input into
the University's budget-making process,
key members of the faculty and several
deans have proposed the creation of a
student - faculty - administration body to
make recommendations on the setting of
budget priorities.
The proposal is an outgrowth of in-
creasing sentiment among the faculty that
overall budget priorities should no longer
be determined exclusively by the Regents
and the University executive officers-the
seven vice presidents and President Rob-
ben Fleming.
At its monthly meeting Monday, Senate
Assembly, the University-wide faculty rep-
resentative body, will consider endorsement
of the plan to establish the tripartite body.
The proposal has already been endorsed
by the Senate Advisory Committee on Uni-

versity Affairs (SACUA), Assembly's ex-
ecutive committee.
Under the proposal, Fleming would
appoint a 12-member Commission on Re-
source Allocation, composed of three exec-
utive officers, three faculty members, three
students, and three members of the Aca-
demic Affairs Advisory Council, which
consists of the deans of the University's 17
schools and colleges, and the directors of
the various institutes.
According to the proposal, the commis-
sion would "study and make recommenda-
tion" on:
-The current and future expenditure of
the University's non-earmarked funds-
about $120 million annually;
-Methods for "allowing the University
community to be better informed on bud-
getary matters;" and
-Possible alterations in the process by
which the University's budget is deter-

mined, and priorities are set. This would
be done both at the University-wide level,
where overall priorities are now set by
the executive officers, and at the school
and college level, where each faculty has
full authority in allocating its share of
the University's non-earmarked funds.
President Fleming could not be reached
for comment yesterday on whether he
favors establishment of the budgetary com-
mission.
However, 'Vice President for Academic
Affairs Allan Smith, who plays a major
role in determining the various expendi-
tures from the budget, has said he supports
the proposal.
It remains unclear how much weight
the recommendations of the commission
would have with the executive officers and
the Regents.
Law Prof. Robert Knauss, chairman of

SACUA, and a long-time proponent of
increased faculty involvement in budgetary
decisions, believes the commission's recom-
mendations "will have a significant amount
of political clout" with the executive of-
ficers and the Regents.
However, he emphasizes that the Re-
gents retain the power to make final bud-
getary decisions, and does not forsee the
commission's being granted any decision-
making power.
Vice President Smith sees the commis-
sion as mainly concerned with "how things
are done," and deemphasizes its role in
overseeing actual expenditures.
Meanwhile, student leaders have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with proposal, main-
taining that the commission will not be
able to bring about substantive changes
in the University's budgetary procedures.
Jerry De Grieck, executive vice president

of Student Government Council said last
night that he does not believe "any mean-
ingful reallocation in resources will come
from this commission."
"If it's good for anything, it will allow
faculty members and students to get in-
formation on budgetary procedures," he
added.
If Assembly approves the proposal,
SACUA would then handle any further
negotiations between students, faculty
members and deans concerning the speci-
fic details of the plan.
According to De Grieck, SGC will press
for an increase in the number of students
seated on the commission. He criticized the,
plan for including six administrators-
three executive officers and three deans-
but seating only three faculty members
and three students.
But the inclusion of any students at all

on the commission appears to have been
a point of contention. De Grieck quotes
Knauss as saying that some of the deans
and faculty members who drafted the pro-
posal maintained that since students are
not included in budgetary decisions within
each school and college, they should not
be included on the University-wide coni-
mission.
As a body, students have not made any
significant attempts to be granted an in-
put into budget-making. Faculty members,
however, have been pressing to be in-
cluded in the University-wide budgetary
process for quite some time.
Over the past year, SACUA, in its capac-
ity as the top faculty body at the Univer-
sity, has had extensive discussions with
the executive officers on increasing faculty
involvement in budgetary decisions.

University students were
handed suspensions yesterday
as Gov. William Milliken lifted
the curfew in Ypsilanti.
Although the 8 p.m. curfew,
imposed on Wednesday was end-
ed, Milliken said the state of
emergency proclamation issued by
Ypsilanti Mayor Richard Boat-!
wright would remain in effect.
Meanwhile, Circuit Court Judge
Ross W. Campbell approved a
show cause hearing ordering 14th
District Judge Henry Arkinson to
appear Monday at 1:30 to show
reason why he should not lower
bonds for students who were ar-
raigned during the week on
charges stemming from disturb-
ances at EMU.
A writ of superintending con-
trol had been filed earlier 'in the
day charging Washtenaw County
Sheriff D o u g l a s Harvey and
Washtenaw C o u n t y Prosecutor
William Delhey with overstepping
their constitutional boundaries.
The writ was denied and attor-
neys said revised charges would be
brought against Harvey and Del,
hey as well as EMU President Har-
old Sponberg for his suspensions
without h e a r i n g s of students
charged with violations of misde-
meanors higher than curfew vio-
lations.
The total number of students
arrested in the disturbances at
Eastern rose to 171, as 40 students
were arrested Thursday in the
fourth night of clashes with -po-
lice. Most of the arrests were for.
curfew violations, but some were,
on concealed weapons charges.
The suspended students will
have their cases heard today be-
fore the Student Court in EMU's
Guild Hall at 1 p.m.
EMU President Sponberg said
yesterday that a commission of
students, faculty and administra-
tors would be formed to investi-
gate the disturbances at Eastern.
Sponberg said the commission's
chairman would be from outside
the EMU community.
Sponberg also requested an im-
mediate investigation of all inci-
dents where improper police action
has been charged.4
A group of "concerned citizens"
met yesterday with various com-
munity and university officials to
discuss what they could do to halt:
the campus violence. The group of
about 70 people posed questions to

JACKSON, Miss. (N) - Two young black students were
killed at Jackson State College yesterday in a burst of police
shogtun and rifle fire that the college president said "will
not go unavenged."
City, state and federal investigators were trying to pin-
point what happened. The police account said city police and
highway patrolmen had come under sniper fire on the cam-
pus.
"There will be plenty of blame for everybody concerned,"
said Mayor Russell Davis.
M, B. Pierce, chief of detectives, said, "We have some evi-
dence of sniper fire," but declined tb say whether officers
were fired upon just prior to the fatal shooting.

The panel said "the testimony

Tensions.
down on
campuses
By The Associated Pre
Most of the nation's college and
university campuses were quiet
yesterday, as students turned to
informational a n d educational
drives to press their antiwar ac-
tion.
A student strike information
center at Brandeis University,
Waltham, Mass., said there were
strikes at 282 of the nation's 1,500
four-year colleges and universities.
A nationwide sampling showed
about a dozen four-year schools
officially closed.
Student activists at the Univer-
sity of Kansas decided to abandon
classes just before finals and go
home to explain their views to
adults "that we're not the bunch
of skulking, destroying devils they
think we are."
Among those schools closed was
Ohio University at Athens, shut
down yesterday after National
Guardsmen were ordered into town
in the wake of disorders on the
18,000-student campus.
The current protests were spark-
ed by President Nixon's sending
U.S. troops into Cambodia. Early
last week, four students at Kent
State University, Kent, Ohio, were
shot and killed during a confron-
tation with National Guardsmen.
A presidential spokesman at Key
Biscayne, Fla., said yesterday
morning a preliminary Justice De-
partment report on the Kent State
shootings had reached the White
House. He said he expected Presi-
dent Nixon to make a statement
on it in about eight days.
At Yale University, student
strike leaders from about 20
schools continued meeting to de-
velop plans for political-type ac-
tivities during the summer.

An ad-hoc committee of Univer-

and $1 per month for single ten-

The administration, however,
rejected the proposal, primarily in
oppostion to the assessment of
