directors.
THE PROGRAMS and activities will
be evaluated with the objective of
determining whether substantial
savings can be made by either exten-
sive reduction or discontinuation, ac-
cording to Frye.
University executive officers-the
vice presidents who are responsible for
the reviews-emphasize that the list is
"preliminary" because of emotions in-
volved in selecting programs for either
severe cuts or elimination. Jobs and
services will inevitably be dropped in
the course of the reviews.
"We'll probably look at everything as
time goes on," said University
President Harold Shapiro, "but we had
to start somewhere."
ADMINISTRATORS have created
three categories of programs to be
reviewed. The first category includes
major activities and services that will
be subjected to extensive internal
review by the executive officers and
their staffs with the goal of significant
savings. Included in this group are
WUOM, CRLT, the Extension Service,
and Recreational Sports.
The second category includes ad-
ministrative units or sub-units that will
be reviewed with a similar savings
goal, but probably less extensively. In-
formation Services, Housing Ad-
ministration, Summer Commencement
and University Publications are in this
group.
The third category includes activities
that cut across two or more units, such
as all counseling services, academic
support services (admissions, financial
aid,) security and safety networks, and
special student support services
(minority student services, the Oppor-
tunity Program.) Administrators say
those areas will be subject to review
with the objective of performing the
functions and services more efficiently,
while reducing costs.
Directors of the affected programs.
are reacting with a mixture of fear of
losing their programs and employees
and understanding the need for all
programs to share the University's
financial burden.
"You don't mind if I cry while you
ask, do you?" Hazen Schumacher,
director of WUOM and Michigan
Media, two of the affected programs,
said in a telephone interview.
SCHUMACHER SAID he expected as
much as 50 percent of University fun-
ding of his programs would be cut by
the time the review process is com-
pleted.
But in the case of WUOM, the amount
of University funding it receives affects
the amount of federal money the radio
station can obtain. This year, WUOM
got $110,000 in federal funds-or 27 cen-
ts for every dollar the University
provides.
Alfred Storey, director of the Univer-
sity Extension Service,- said Tuesday
that while he didn't know the scope of
the review, he was preparing to
examine "every aspect of the budget."
"OUR ROLE IS simply that we are
being reviewed carefully as are some
other major units," Storey said.
Although $3 million must be cut from
the budgets, a unit being reviewed will
not -necessarily have its budget
reduced.
"We can recommend restructuring,
redeploying, deleting, whatever," Vice
President for Student Services Henry
Johnson said. "There are a number of
outcomes that could result from the
reviews."
THE REVIEWS have to be completed
by the beginning of the next fiscal year,
which begins July 1.
The exact procedures for reviewing
each program or activity have yet to be
determined. After meeting with direc-
tors of the units in their jurisdiction, the
six vice presidents will submit review
plans and other pertinent information
to Shapiro. The executive officers
should have the first draft of the review
procedures ready by Jan. 16, Johnson
said.
The University Budget Priorities
Committee, an advisory group com-
posed of faculty, students, and ad-
ministrators, will also participate in the
reviews.
Dentistry Prof. Robert Craig, chair-
man of that committee, said it will ser-
ve as a study group during the review
process, and will also establish two
subcommittees to examine the Exten-
sion Service and CRLT.
"We have to work rapidly, but not so
rapidly that we do a superficial job,"
Craig said. Frye said he hoped to have
the subcommittee reports by the end of
February.

Grand jury
SACI tAMN'G, "Calif: AP -tn 1
what attorneys say may be the first
such case in the nation, a Lake Coun-
ty grand jury which met more than
five years ago will pay $25,000 and
retract critical comments it made '
about a firm that never was indic-
ted.1
In return, the engineering firm,
Gillett-Harris-Duranceau &
Associates of Yuba City, has agreed
p aysfi rm
to drop a $5.4 million libel suit it filed ,
against the grand 'jury four years
ago.
The firm's attorney. Donald Lit-
tlejohn of Colusa, said his research
during the case indicated it could be
the first such settlement against a
grand jury in the United States.
Sixteen members of the grand
jury voted last month to issue the
retraction and agree to the payment.
