The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, January 27, 1981-Page 3 MSU may get more state aid than By NANCY BILYEAU Michigan State University received a larger percentage increase in recom- mhended state appropriations for next year than the University of Michigan, according to Gov. William Milliken's budget recommendation yesterday. . Last week, the MSU Board of "rustees almost declared the univer- sity in a state of severe financial crisis. A 2%-day mandatory faculty layoff Wvithout pay, and tuition increases for MSU's current term were among the measures taken to ease economic woes. OPINIONS VARIED in Lansing yesterday on whether MSU's rapidly worsening condition influenced Milliken's decision.' Although the University is slotted for possible increase of $17 illion-compared to $16 million for Michigan State-these amounts con- stitute a 12.4 percent increase over last year for the University, and a 13.9 per- cent hike for'MSU. Jim Fielder, budget analyst from the state Department of Management and Budget, said MSU's recommended amount is higher in an attempt to equalize state appropriations. ALTHOUGH MSU'S estimated 1981- 82 shortfall is $30 million, and the University's is $12 million, Fielder said that these budget differentials were not taken into consideration when recom- mendatins were made. "We reviewed the actual institutional expenses and developed the amounts internally," Fielder said. However, Kenneth Thompson, MSU vice-president for finance and operations, said, "We got more because we need it more. We're still in a crisis." THOMPSON SAID MSU is attem- pting to "set programs and services in order." If enough money cannot be generated in appropriations, he said, "future tuition increases and program cuts are inevitable." Rumors of possible faculty layoffs and program retrenchment, and cuts outlined by MSU President Cecil Mackey have the university's colleges reviewing their budgets. MSU's Business, Social Science, Literature, Arts and Letters, Engineering, Agricultural and Natural Resources, and Natural Sciences schools are among those facing cuts ranging from five to 15 percent. THE TENSION generated from these negotiations reportedly has spread to MSU students and faculty. "We're all really scared," Tom Hocking, president of the MSU Council of Graduate Students, said. "It's a combination of anger, frustration, worry, and fear." "I'd say there's stress," said MSU Natural Sciences senior Marc Elie, a laboratory assistant who fears he may lose his job due to budget cuts. Other appropriations announced yesterday were $3.7 million for Eastern Michigan University, $3.9 million for Central Michigan University, $9.8 million for Wayne State University, and $4.7 million for Western Michigan University. The University of Michigan-Dear- born is slotted to receive $1.3 million and the Flint campus is slated for $7 million. City to sue state despite new budaet proposal By PAM KRAMER Mayor Louis Belcher told City Council last night that he will con- tinue plans to sue the state for cut- ting fire protection funds to the city. The decision came despite a budget proposal submitted yester- day to the state legislature which would restore and increase the funds during the next fiscal year. GOV. WILLIAM Milliken recently cut $3 million from the fund that provided money to cities like Ann Arbor which provide fire protection for state buildings. The city claims Milliken's action violated the Headlee Amendment. Although the budget proposal would restore the funds and increase them by 33 percent, according to state Budget Director Jerry Miller, Belcher said he will continue the suit because the city will not receive its money this year, and because of the principle that the state would "ar- bitrarily override its own laws." Councilwoman Leslie Morris (D- Second Ward) expressed- concern that the proposed budget might be vetoed in response to the city's suit, but Belcher said he did not think vindication would be a problem. "Headlee probably needs to be tested, and we probably need the half-million dollars," Belcher quip- ped. "As long as the Silverdome subsidy of $800,000 stays in the budget, I personally would opt to go on (With the suit)." Belcher said he expects to hear from other cities also interested in filing suit this week. H APPENING- FILMS Cinema Guild-Floating Weeds, 7 p.m., Lorch Hall Aud.
