The Michigan Daily Vol. LXXXV, No. 14-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, May 24, 1975 Ten Cents Twelve Pages City, 'U' wrangle over inances By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI As the financial problems plaguing the city gain increased urgency in the face of next Tuesday's budget adoption dead- line, a touchy issue involving the finan- cial relationshipsbetween the University and the city has resurfaced, threatening to create a major rift between the two parties. The potentially explosive issue stems from what city councilman Roger Ber- toia (R-Third Ward) has described as the University's "parisitic" relationship with the city. Bertoia and other council members claim the University has not equitably funded the city for services rendered, and they're not about to curb their anger. "I FEEL no need to be gentlemanly or kind to them (the University) any long- er," said Bertoia. "I think they're para- sites." Nevertheless, University officials main- tamn that they have continually provided equitable funding and have made no immediate plans to increase financial assistance to the city. Although the heated issue is not a new one, it has recently gathered re- newed steam as the political parties within city council haggle over various proposals regarding how to channel the city's budget for the fiscal year begin- ning June 1. While all parties remain far apart on virtually every major bud- getary issue, they have found one com- mon ground on one point - the Uni- versity's unwillingness to increase its financial allocations to the city. UNDER heaviest attack is the Uni- versity's stand on the financing of police and fire department assistance. While the University is presently con- tracted to provide funding for 23 police officers, it has offered funding for only 11 jobs for the ensuing fiscal year. Claiming it has been receiving continu- ous services from 23 officers, the Uni- versity has merely arranged to increase its own security force. While City Administrator Sylvester Murray and Police Chief Walter Krasny both concede that the city has not phys- ically placed 23 officers on campus at all times, they are quick to point out that the University's security officers do not have the necessary legal power granted to the city's police officers, and that 11 officers cannot provide the University adequate service. "UNF ORT UNAT E LY," com- plained Krasny, "we're not in a position of refusing them service," simply be- cause the University does not pay for it. Looking for a possible out to this real- ity as cited by Krasny, Bertoia, a long- See CITY, Page 10 t Doily Photo by STEVE KAGAN I Close, but no cigar Michigan's Ted Mahan (5) is about to be thrown o ut by Penn State catcher Garry Koch in yester- day's game.

Ohi o woma n offered Pilot U.S. civilians begin to leave Laos by plane VIENTIANE, Laos (') - More than 150 American women and children flew out of Vientiane yesterday, beginning an evacuation of U. S. personnel from Laos. A chartered jet shuffled back and forth between Vientiane and Bangkok, Thailand and took out 158 Americans, almost all of them dependents of U.S. AID employes. Seven other Americans flew out on a regu- lar commercial flight. THE U. S. Agency for International Development (AID) has been the chief target of leftist student demonstrators who still held the AID compound in downtown Vientiane for the third straight day. The evacuation was to continue Saturday (Laos time) and one U. S. spokesperson said two or three flights would leave Vientiane daily each with about 80 persons aboard. One U. S. spokesperson said it was not known how many of the 800 official Americans and depen- dents still in Laos would eventually be evacuated, but he added: "VIRTUALLY all of the U. S. aid mission will be withdrawn, except for a few administrative people needed to hand over everything to the Laos." Women and children are to go first and the men later. The people of Vientiane seemed oblivious to the de- parture of the Americans. All evacuees were subject to standard immigration and customs procedures including thorough checks of personal belongings. One American called it "a com- plete violation of diplomatic immunity." ABOUT 20 Pathet Lao guards kept their vigil at the gates to "Kilometer Six," the American housing com- pound on Vientiane's outskirts. One American at the gate said the guards were letting people go in and out at will, easing the severe restrictions on their movements of the last two days. Meanwhile, student demonstrators maintained their occupation of the U. S. aid administrative and ware- house compound in downtown Vientiane, while a police squad strolled casually outside. ONE evacuee said she felt great relief at leaving and added it was "rather humiliating for us to have been kept virtual prisoners." John Pangs, 12, headed home to Watertown, N. Y., said. "I feel rotten. I've been here since I was 3 years old, and this is my horne town." Although the evacuees carried only one or two pieces See AMERICAN, Page9 directorship By GLEN ALLERHAND Margo Morrow, a woman educator at Hiram College in Ohio, has been offered the directorship of Pilot Program for next year, according to a source close to the program. Contacted yesterday at her Hiram residence, Mor- row acknowledged the report: "They've been in touch with me, but nothing's definite yet." She admitted, however, she was the leading contender for the posi- tion. MORROW'S name was on a list of the three final candidates being considered for the directorship by a joint Housing Office and literary college (LSA) com- mittee. The names were given to Housing Director John Feldkamp and Acting LSA Dean Billy Frye, who have the final say in the matter. As of yet, Feldkamp and Frye have not made public any details of the selection procedure, but the Pilot source indicated that the other two people under con- sideration are Jay Goodman, a former Pilot staffer for fall '75 working towards his doctorate degree in psychology and Don Lau, a former resident fellow in Pilot who re- cently received his master's degree .in social work. Both Goodman and Lau said yesterday that the Uni- versity has not contacted them about taking the open position, though Goodman noted that he was to be informed by mid-May. SHOULD MORROW accept the directorship, she would replace Dick Munson, who, when asked why he did not wish to keep his job, replied, "It was just that I had been here two years as a director and I wanted to go on to do something else." Munson, commenting on the directorship search, stated, "They've decided, but the person hasn't ac- cepted formally yet." Canadian-born Morrow, in her own words, "teaches in the history department and the political science de- partment and is also a resident director at a dorm" at Hiram.
