Shapiro fears fiscal woes for 'U' in '80s (Continued from Page 1) that these are challenges that can be met. Economically, "we can't always rely on the state legislature," Shapiro said. Instead, University administrators will have to be somewhat more creative, and develop alternatives to help them- selves. Private Universities are always faced with this dilemma, Shapiro poin- ted out. No single department will be immune to cuts, Shapiro continued. "It's a dif- ficult thing to decide where to cut," he said. Review committees will be established to decide on cuts, and these will have student as well as faculty and administrative input. "Students have important perspec- tives on these issues," Shapiro said. "Excluding them from the decision could lead to making the wrong decision." Criteria for program cuts "depend on value judgements nd how you relate them to each other,'' he said. Deans of the various schools and colleges will evaluate the departments in their area on quality of service, demand for the program, and future of the field, he ad- ded. The problem comes when you ac- tually go to restrict something, Shapiro said. Then personal questions about dealing with faculty who have been at the University for years come into play. If it comes down to the point where the positions of tenured faculty are on the line, the decisions may have to made centrally rather than in the in- dividual departments, said Shapiro. "I don't think it's going to come to that." Areas of research will probably not feel the effects of the cuts as strongly, since they are often federally funded and do not depend on state allocations, Shapiro said. Family housing, dorm rate raise possible (Continued from Page 1) and charging Family Housing residents who are faculty and staff members 10 percent above regular rates. The studies must go through a num- ber of channels before they are acted upon, according to Sunstad. First, they go to University Housing Director Robert Hughes, who then consults with Vice-President for Student Services Henry Johnson about the committees' recommendations. Finally, Hughes will present the reports in their original form, along with his recommendations, to the Regents at the board's February meeting. STUDENTS ON BOTH committees said they felt that although their recommendations may be voted down by Hughes or the Regents, their par- ticipation was significant because it allowed for student input into decision- making. "We do the legwork and participate in extensive discussion so those (ad- ministrators) above us won't have to deal with it," explained Tina Spengos, a sophomore Engineering student from Martha Cook who was on the Single Student Rate Committee. "Maybe someone could say our effort was fruitless because the director of housing could look at our report and say, 'Forget it.' But we put time into it and people know we put time into it," Spengos explained. "I FEEL IT (our input) is worth it because Hughes is such a responsive guy," said Engineering student Andy Miles, a Mosher-Jordan resident. "He has to live with wfiatever is done, and our opinions give him insight into how students feel about things." Hughes said he has only departed from the report once during his presen- tation to the Regents. "That was last year, when I cut the recommended rate increase back slightly," he said. "The committee reports, as the committees see them, go to the Regen- ts," Hughes continued. "If I choose to differ from the report, it's incumbent on me to explain why I did it." THE STUDENTS expressed some concern, however, that the statistics on inflation, housing expenditures, and other revenues and expenses given to them are all prepared by the Housing Division. "Some of the stuff we did is pretty much cut and dry," said Spengos. "The housing staff showed us some documen- ts from. Washington about inflation, and Norm (Sunstad) gave us a table recommending a 9.8 percent increase (the figure that was eventually decided upon). IT was pretty evident that dorm rates had to be increased by at least that amount to keep up with inflation." But Carol Williams, a University Terrace resident and member of the Family Housing Rate Committee Study Group, said she wasn't uncomfortable with looking at only figures prepared by the Housing Office. "I don't have any qualms with that," Williams said. "My impression is that they do a darn good job." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Reagan calls for cuts in Cabinet expenses WASHINGTON-President Reagan ordered government bureaucrats yesterday to cut back on equipment purchases and travel and instructed his Cabinet chiefs to save taxpayers' money by not redecorating their offices. The order does not apply to Nancy Reagan's plans to refurbish the family living quarters in the White House. Reagan said his ban on ofice redecorating and other actions were a second step in his campaign to "bring the runaway budget under control." As his first act he ordered a freeze Tuesday on government hiring. "No single action as far as I know will get our economy back on the road o full recovery, but we must begin," Reagan said in announcing his latest move. More Reagan Cabinet nominees confirmed WASHINGTON-The Seante moved rapidly yesterday toward confirming the rest of President Ronald Reagan's Cabinet, including the controversial nomination of James Watt to head the Interior Department, who won ap- proval by an 83-12 vote. The Senate also approved: " William French Smith as attorney general, by a vote of 96-1, with Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) the only dissenter. " John Block as secretary of agriculture, 98-0. " Malcolm Baldrige as commerce secretary, 97-1, with Proxmire voting against. " Samuel Pierce Jr. as secretary of housing and urban development, 98-0. " Andrew Lewis Jr. as secretary of transportation, 98-8. Sens. Paul Laxalt (R-Nev.) and Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) were away from the city and did not vote. Times sale generates fear LONDON, England-Australian press magnate Rupert Murdoch, whose newspaper empire includes several U.S. publications that thrive on sex, sen- sation, and scandal, made a "conditional agreement" to purchase the ailing Times of London, the Sunday Times, and their three supplements, the owners announced yesterday. No price for the package was disclosed, but newspaper industry sources estimated it could reach about $115 million. Included with the two papers are literary and educational supplements. Brunton said Murdoch had agreed formally to uphold the editorial in- dependence and quality of the newspapers, keep them free from party political bias and give the editors full editorial freedom. He stressed the conditional deal was reached only after Times editor William Rees-Mogg, editor Harold Evans of the Sunday Times, and the directors of the Times group agreed that Murdoch would "satisfy the criteria" for the sale. IRA takes responsibility for Protestants' deaths BELFAST, Northern Ireland-Guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army claimed responsibility yesterday for killing aged Protestant politician Sir Norman Stonge and his son James amid a resurgence of "eye-for-an-eye" violence. Police said they believed the attack was in reprisal for the attempted assassination by Protestants last Friday of Roman Catholic civil rights crusader Bernadette Devlin McAliskey and her husband, Michael. Authorities said the terrorists shot Sir Norman, 86, a former speaker of the Northern Ireland Parliament, and his 48-year-old son Wednesday night and set off fire bombs that gutted their 230-year-old ancestral home. Kremlin strips Soviet authors of citizenship MOSCOW-Dissident authors Lev Kopelev and Vasily Aksyonov were reported stripped of their Soviet citizenship yesterday while on trips to the West, apparently the latest victims of the Kremlin's purge of defiant cultural figures. A Soviet official said that the Presidium of the Soviet Parliament passed decrees amounting to banishment from the country of the two authors, who had both expressed the desire to return home after their time abroad. Stripping cultural figures of their citizenship while abroad has been one tactic used previously by the Kremlin to rid the country of influential critics. Court says couple can seek damages in severed hands case LANSING-The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled yesterday a couple may sue a funeral home for allowing a medical examiner to cut off their daughter's hands and hair without their knowledge. The court reversed a Menominee County Circuit Court ruling, saying the couple can claim the funeral home breached its burial contract by not in- forming them of the action.
