C Page 1O-Tuesday, March 18, 1980-The Michigan Daily Regents likely to OK 9.5 to 13 per cent in-state tuition hikes FINAL DAY OF PEACE TEACH-IN Experts disagree on draft issue By JULIE ENGEBRECHT A proposed tuition hike for resident undergraduates of from 9.5 to 13 per cent for the 1980-81 academic year is expected to be ap- proved by the Regents later this week. In response to the state's request to see next year's tentative tuition levels by early April, administrators have been evaluating possible tuition ranges over the last several months. The state wants the figures for computing state competitive scholarships. Non-resident and graduate tuition increases have not been proposed. Preparations by both the state and the University regarding ap- propriations for the next academic year just recently picked up pace. The legislature has been holding higher education appropriations hearings, and the University has been evaluating its own budget resources, bracing itself for cut- backs. IN JANUARY, Gov. William Milliken proposed a 9.5 per cent hike in state appropriations. Harvey Brazer, chairman of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty (CESF) spoke to the faculty Senate Assembly yesterday on negotiations for faculty salary in- creases in 1980-81. Brazer said his committee was concerned the University administration has not made faculty salaries a high enough priority in the University budget. "There are no commitments more urgent than the need to prevent fur- ther erosion of the economic status of the faculty," Brazer wrote in a memo to Acting Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Chairman of the Committee on Budget Ad- ministration Alfred Sussman.' BRAZER ALSO said it is wrong. for the administration to suggest that "faculty salaries and only faculty salaries" are fed by hikes in student tuition. The tuition levels proposed to the Regents for undergraduate residen- ts in the lower division range from $1,327 to $1,370 - up 9.5 to 13 per cent from this year's $1,212 figure. Upper division students face a similar in- crease. By GREGG WOLPER President Carter's call for registration could lead to a draft and should be opposed, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and U.S. Rep. Robert Carr (D-Lansing) said Sunday in separate lectures on campus. But Brayton Harris, assistant direc- tor of the Selective Service, disagreed. Harris, who appeared with Clark, said that the purpose of registration is to en- sure that the country can mobilize in an emergency, and "not to have a peacetime draft." CLARK AND Harris addressed more than 150 in Rackham Auditorium, while Carr spoke to about 40 in Hutchins Hall. Both events were included in the final day of the "Peace and Politics" teach- in sponsored by the Coalition Against War. Clark, who served as attorney general in 1967-1968 under President Johnson, said that he has "come to op- pose all forced registration or conscrip- tion, and added that registration would increase the probability of war. "To anticipate war and prepare for war is to make war inevitable," Clark said. Further measures should be taken to lessen the possibility of war, Clark said. He called for the U.S. to dismantle much of its nuclear weaponry and halt the increases in the research and development of military technology. MOST EXPERTS agree that about 26 {countries will possess a nuclear bomb by the year 2000, Clark said. "We had better come to grips with the issue im- mediately," he said. Clark received a standing ovation as he left the auditorium. Carr, a member of the House Armed Services Commitee since 1975, said that the issue of registration cannot be separated from that of thedraft. "You can't divide the two," he said. Many Congressional supporters of registration see it as a way to resume conscription, Carr said. "If it's just registration, it is by its very nature meaningless," Carr said. "It isn't just registration, it's registration in preparation for a draft." CARR ENCOURAGED students to attend the anti-registration rally to be held in Washington this Saturday, but stressed that personal visits to congressmen or their staffs will have more effect than the rally. "Protests and rallies in Washington are great for getting national media coverage, but in terms of real impact on legislation, I'd have to say they're next to zero," Carr said. "We get a protest march almost every day." The possibility of the bill's passage i "a bit murky," Carr said, because of the President's recent budget revision, and the fact that Congress has already reached its spending limit. The proposal may be defeated if and when it appears before the ,full House, Carr said. . Harris, appearing as a represen- tative of the White House, said that registration and the draft wer separate issues, and that the reaction to the registration call "has put the possibility of a peacetime draft ever- farther off." The country needs registration to be prepared in the case of a national emergency, according to Harris. "If the U.S. had been better prepared in 1940 and 1941, World War II might have been shorter by several years," he said. Pressed by an audience member fore definition of a national emergency, Harris replied that "a national emergency is what Congress and the president agree is a national emergen- cy. Harris also said that the decision to revitalize the Selective Service had been made long before the president's call for registration. 2 women get wrong operations in, mix-up Emmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmimmm We're Through Playing Favorites!

One woman who checked in with a ruptured disc had part of a neck thyroid gland removed, while the other patient who had the thyroid problem got the cervical laminectomy at the back of her head. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS refused to say whether the unnecessary surgery would affect the future health of either patient. They said the mistake was "embarrassing" and "horribly regret- ful." Murray Levin, a member of the hospital board, added "luckily both patients are in good condition and the patients are understanding of what happened." Alfred Edmonson said his wife went in for back surgery last Thursday, but when he went to see her afterward he, was summoned to a room down the hall by a staff physician.

"He said the doctor who was to have operated on my wife operated on the other woman." Virginia Edmonson, 54, had the back of her head shaved for the laminec- tomy, but instead she is now recovering from the thyroid operation with the bandage on the front part of her-neck, the husband said. Annie Robinson, 50, who was to have had the parathyroid gland removed, reportedly wound up instead with surgery on the back of her neck. But hospital officials refused to say what was actually done to her. HAROLD CRAMER, the chairman of the hospital board, originally created an inquiry panel "to determine what had transpired and to recommend corrective procedures if necessary." But he dropped that idea, he said, "in order not to interfere with in- vestigations now under way by the Pennsylvania Health Department and the hospital's peer review committee." Robinson's plight was made public by her protesting family. - BOTH WOMEN were shielded by the hospital from inquiring reporters, and their telephone calls were being monitored. A spokesman for Graduate's executive director, Paul Schofield, planned to issue a statement on the surgical mixup, but then backed off, referring all questions to the hospital's lawyer. The 300-bed hospital was founded in 1926 as part of the University of Pen- nsylvania Medical School system. Budgetary problems forced Penn to cut Graduate loose in 1977 although it still maintains a medical teaching af- filiation with the university on the graduate level. r I 44 Uruguay diplomat escapes from embassy in Colombia THE MICHIGAN LEAGUE IA ^r~g~n 227 S. Ingalls THELITTLE From AP and UPI BOGOTA, Colombia - A Uruguayan diplomat escaped from the guerrilla- held Dominican Embassy in a dramatic dash to freedom yesterday, sliding down a rope of bedsheets and scram- bling away as bullets flew around him. An army officer who spoke with Fer- nando Gomez after his pre-dawn escape said another diplomat held hostage by leftist guerrillas for 20 days refused to join in the jump from the second story window. HOURS LATER, the guerrillas inside the building said Venezuelan Am- bassador Virgilio Lovera, 63, suffered a massive heart attack. Other hostages shouted to army officers outside to send in the same specialist who visited Lovera twice last week to check his high blood pressure. Dr. Enrique Urdaneta Holguin, who was inside the diplomatic mission for an hour, said the guerrillas indicated they would not free any more hostages, regardless of their state of health. The officers offered instead to evacuate Lovera by ambulance, a move rejected by the guerrillas who in- sisted the doctor must come to the em- bassy or they would hold the Foreign Ministry responsible if Lovera died because of the lack of medical atten- tion. r'.ACCTCDIA LEAGUE CAFE tEKI open 11:15am to 1:15pm 5pm to7:15pm on the Lower Level open 7:15 am-4 pm Closed Sat. aft. and Sunday UNDER COVER of darkness, the, Uruguayan jumped into a garden in front of the embassy, crawled behind parked cars and then ran for his life toward army troops, dodging thre shots fired from the embassy, wi nesses said. "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm the Uruguayan ambassador!" Gomez, 43, shouted as he raced to freedom after 19 days' captivity with 32 other hostages, including U.S. Ambassador, Diego Asencio. "We can't explain -how the am- bassador was not hurt by the terrorists. It was a moonlit night and he was com- pletely exposed to their guns," said a4 army officer who participated in the rescue. GOMEZ WAS the first hostage to escape from the embassy. Five days af- ter the siege began, the Costa Rican ambassador was released along with several other women hostages and later, the ambassador of Austria was freed to join his ailing wife in Vienna. A doctor who examined Gomez at a military hospital said Gomez received only bruises during his escapeg although his chronic right shoulder problem was aggravated during the embassy takeover. Ransom negotiations between the government and the guerrillas broke down after five sessions and no date has been set for them to resume. The guerrillas, demanding freedom for jailed comrades, have vowed to kill themselves and their captives if their, conditions are not met. *GO BL(E SUNDAE:, Lemon Custard Ice Cream with Blueberry Sauce, Whipped Cream, Topped 3 with a "M" Pennant.
