Cost of 'U' hospital will not be appealed Fans dish out to see major boxing bout The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, September 16, 1981-Page 3 By JENNIFER MILLER The cost of building the new Univer- sity Hospital will remain at $285 million, as the regional health plan- ning agency voted yesterday not to appeal the hospital's budget hike. By a resounding no vote, the executive committee of the Com- prehensive Halth Planning Council of Southeastern Michigan decided not to appeal the $75 million budget increase according to Della Goodwin, commit- tee president. DESPITE THE PLANNING agen- cy's recommendation to keep the hospital's cost at $210 million, the in- crease had been approved by the state Department of Public Health last month. "We're weary after two years," Goodwin said, "we've fought a num- ber of battles with the University Hospital." Agency President Terren- ce Carroll promised, however, that the agency would continue to keep an eye on the hospital's progress. Scheduled construction for the five- year project will begin Oct. 1 with demolition of the North Outpatient building. Groundbreaking for the 11- story main hospital is planned for Oct. 15. UNIVERSITY President Harold Shapiro has said that construction costs will not exceed the $285 million limit, although state guidelines would allow costs to escalate by $43 million without prior state approval. The planning agency has con- tinuously fought for a reduction in the size and cost of the new hospital, which was originally approved in 1978 by University Regents at a cost of $310 million. A $210 million cost ceiling was imposed by the public health depar- tment in 1979. THE HEALTH department en- couraged the University to seek an in- crease when hospital planners said the cost ceiling would necessitate dropping portions of the project. Gov. William Milliken, the state legislature, and budget director Gerald Miller gave approval to the hike earlier this summer, before the health planning agency reviewed the proposal last month. The state legislature has authorized the sale of $102 million in hospital revenue bonds to cover the increased cost, in addition a $33 million increase in appropriations to the hospital-for a total of $173 million in state funds. By DAVID SPAK In one corner stands the popular guy who sips 7-UP on TV with his cute son. In the other corner stands someone nicknamed the "Hit Man," who has a knack for knocking people out. Tonight in sold-out Hill Auditorium, about 4,000 boxing fans, e ach having shelled out $25, will watch Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas "Hit Man" Hear- ns fight to determine who will be crowned the number one Welterweight boxer. THAT'S RIGHT, a whopping $25 each, and they're not even going to see the bout live. They'll be viewing the match on a close circuit movie screen. Expensive? That all depends on how thick your wallet is. "IT'S A ONE SHOT deal for me, said LSA sophomore Mark Ruzzin. "I'd only spend this much money for this fight." Larry Desjarlais isn't so sure he'd pay $25. "For $10 I'dgo to a major fight like this one or to the NFL playoffs, but anything else isn't worth it," said the LSA junior. "The fight has been too hyped up," says Engineering sophomore Steve Martin. "It's a waste of money." Besides, Martin asserted, the fight won't last long enough because Hearns will win in the fifth round. Hype or no hype, Leonard and Hearns will step into the ring at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas tonight, will battle it out, and in the end, God willing each will go home several million dollars richer.
