Campus dati By PATRICIA HAGEN J-Hop, the Twist, curfews, and visiting rules may be "out" now, but love and romance are still socially acceptable. For better or worse, dating protocol on campus has changed over the years. Finding appropriate companions is still a challenge, even in our enlightened times, but in years past the task was even more arduous. IN FACT, MALE students in the 1920s often had to go to Ypsilanti to meet their dates, says 1930 grad Lawrence Kline. Back then, there were nine times more men than women on campus and women were more plentiful at a small teachers' college located where Eastern Michigan University is today, he explained. The sororities and fraternities dominated the social scene in those days, Kline, now an Economics professor at the University of Arizona, said. And, "it was frowned on for sorority women to ng rules relaa date independents," the former "independent" Kline remembered. EVEN DURING Prohibition, alcoholic drinks were a major ingredient in campus parties. Numerous student bootleggers worked near campus. It was potent and profitable, and homemade - gin was the favorite drink. Making the gin was an elaborate procedure, the enterprising alumnus said. Kline remembers going to University Hospital to give blood, and when the lab attendant left the room, he would fill jars with grain alcohol from the lab supply. After collecting the $50 paid to blood givers, the students would take their contraband, cut it down-with water, add juniper juice and sell it for $4 a quart. At the end of the evening's party, a young man would escort his date home to Ypsilanti, her dorm or sorority. As often as not they arrived past the curfew hour. And if the women were late? Well, "that was their problem," Kline said with a chuckle. C over years OVER THE YEARS curfews and other, un- written rules, apparently did not inhibit socially- inclined students. "Girls got a big rush by the upperclassmen," said Karen Rosen, who graduated in 1955 when the ratio on campus still favored the women 3:1. A number of rules ensured that the female residents conducted their social lives in the proper manner. "YOU NEVER had men above the first floor," except during rare open visiting hours, Rosen said, and even then coeds had to keep the room door open. "When you were in the lounge on the first floor you had to keep both feet on the floor," she ad- ded. When women went out in the evenings they had to sign out and be back in by 11 p.m. on weeknights, and 1:30 a.m. on weekends. While they didn't turn into pumpkins if they were late, See DATING, Page 10 1 1~- *Extension cuts could *isolate 'U', By BARRY WITT Severe cuts proposed for the University Exten- sion Service would plunge the Ann Arbor campus in- to self-imposed isolation, faculty and staff members warned yesterday. Speakers at a hearing on proposed reductions in the Extension Service told a Budget Priorities Sub- committee that it is the University's obligation to continue to serve students who are.unable to attend classes on campus. EXTENSION SERVICE and other University staff members also cautioned against the Univer- sity alienating the taxpaying public by confining it- self to Ann Arbor. The Extension Service is one of four University departments currently under review for substantial budget cuts. If the cuts are approved by ad- ministrators, the service will lose up to $1.75 million, or 90 percent of its budget. The department offers credit courses at six cen- ters around the state as well as non-credit courses in the Ann Arbor area. The service also directs seminars and conferences at various locations in the state using University faculty members as lec- turers. MANY OF THE professors who spoke admitted they also have a financial interest in the well-being of the Extension Service, acknowledging they are paid on an overload basis for their teaching. Harvey Bertcher, a professor in the School of Social Work, explained to the committee that the various professional schools feel a strong commit- ment to keep offering classes off campus, whether the Extension Service is able to or not. The School of Social Work "would have to take on these programs itself and would need more money to do so," Bertcher said. "I can't see how (switching funds from the Extension Service to the professional schools) would save the University money," he said. ENGLISH PROF.

HARRIS WCBN seeks more funds, higher wattage By KATHY HOOVER WCBN, the University's student run radio station, has plans to combat the financial difficulties which have plagued it since its conception. The station, currently n the midst of its second annual fundraiser, is waiting for government ap- proval to dramatically increase its transmitting power-a move that could lead to better reception and a larger University allocation. STATION OFFICIALS feel confident that the Federal Communications Commission will approve the proposed increase from ten to 200 watts. "I don't see any reason why we won't get it (the wattage in- crease). The University supports CBN on the in- crease and that is important," FM Program Direc- tor Ken Freedman said. Because of WCBN's relatively low wattage, it is received only within the immediate Ann Arbor area. Station officials say that if the wattage boost is approved, broadcasting range will be enlarged only slightly while reception in the existing range will be improved significantly. FOR A NUMBER of years the station operated at a deficit, borrowing on future allocations, but because of last year's fundraiser, the station stayed in the black. This year's fundraiser will feature special programming with guests and live groups to en- courage donations. WCBN staff members said they hope to raise $8,830 to buy new equipment and help meet expenses after the wattage increase. WCBN staff members said the continued operation of the station is vital for students. "The network (WCBN) is the only place a student can get hands-on experience," Freedman said. WCBN GENERAL Manager Eugene Lisansky called the station "a constant teaching and learning experience for the staff members" and cited weaknesses in the University's communications department. "CBN fills a gap in communications (training at the University). We train people, give them feedback, and reinforce them, Lisansky said. See WCBN, Page 2 tax, plans, fnal:I WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan apparently has decided to propose that his three-year, 30 percent cut in personal income tax rates begin July 1, and that a companion proposal to reduce business taxes be made retroactive to January 1, sources said yesterday. At the same time, the president ap- proved a $26.6 billion increase in 1982 military spending and resolved an in- ternal administration dispute by ap- proving a scaled-back cut in foreign aid of $1.8 billion and granting the State Department discretion over how to trim the spending, one source said. BUDGET DIRECTOR David Stock- man had proposed a $2.6 billion cut in the $8 billion foreign aid budget, prom- pting strong protest from Secretary of State Alexander Haig. The source said how the higher military spending would be allocated was "still being negotiated." The prop- osed increase would push U.S. defense spending in 1982 to about $220 billion. The president also decided to seek a phasing out of the government's public service jobs program and a cutback in unemployment benefits, sources repor- ted. REAGAN MADE FINAL decisions yesterday on the key components of his spending and tax cut package, to be submitted to Congress next week. He then left for Camp David, Md., to begin work on a speech on his economic plans that he will deliver to a joint session of Congress Wednesday night. White House press secretary James Brady said that after three days of meetings with his Cabinet and economic aides, the president had made final determinations on the major budget cuts and tax reductions he would propose. Brady would not provide any details. Reagan had pledged during his cam- udget i near , form~s paign to seek a cut in individual tax rates effective at the start of the year, but many of his economic advisers have since urged him to postpone the date because of a larger-than-expected budget deficit for fiscal 1981, which en- ds Sept. 30. The administration expects this year's deficit to reach $60 billion. A per- sonal tax cut beginning Jan. 1 would drain an estimated $24 billion in federal revenues in 1981, but by postponing the tax cut until July 1, the revenue loss would be held to $8 billion. Stockman has said that Reagan would try to lop off $50 billion from the $739.3 billion President Jimmy Carter proposed for federal spending in fiscal year 1982, which begins Oct. 1. . . . ..... ...... . . .. .. .v... ..... 1...v .........................: . .................... . ....... t......... ::::.;.:;........

Ann Arbor resident John Osier, 34, allegedly walked into the bank on 101 S. Main at approximately 4 p.m. Wednesday. He approached a teller, showed her what turned out to be a plastic gun, and deman- ded money, according to Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Harold Tinsey. THE TELLER did not give the man any money from the window. Instead, she walked to a vault and on the way was able to inform the manager of the at- tempted robbery, bank spokesman Richard Dorner said. The manager called police and within minutes three police officers, Ted Bailey, Dale Williams and Kenneth Michael, entered the bank and arrested Osier while he was still at the teller's window. Osier was taken to Washtenaw County Jail. He was officially charged with bank robbery, although Dor- ner said Osier never received any money. Fifteenth District Court Judge George Alexander set bond at $25,000 and assigned a public defender as Osier's counsel. The pre-trial examination was set for February 15. If convicted Osier could receive a life sentence.

TODAY Cupid's a girl CUPID, THE MYTHICAL GOD OF LOVE, WILL be a goddess this year - at least for Arlene Ver Huel's Valentine's Day customers. The sex change was necesary because Cupid's earthly parents would not allow him to wear a tutu and white leotards. It all started when Ver Huel, a native of Des No Kissing Kissing in public may be cool here, but in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the local government has outlawed this sensuous act of love. And the local high school kids are pretty upset about it. About 2000 of them turned out to march against the court order..The government made the ruling after receiving complaints from local residents. One official said he was upset with the cinematographic kiss, in which salivas mix to "simply swell the sensuality." During the protest, the demonstrators were asked to disperse by the rally organizers. When the protestors refused, police moved in severe thigh cramps and dark red urine - both primary symptoms of rhabdomyolysis. The patient, who was given analgesics and told to rest, recovered completely after three days. The disease involves muscle breakdown but, in most cases, is not dangerous, according to Dr. Robert Powers. However, he warned, kidney failure can result if muscle byproducts clog the kidney's filtration system. The physicians noted that orthopedic injuries are much more common among the urban cowboys than internal medical problems like rhabdomyolysis. Doctors also observed that many barroom bull riders are "inexperienced and often inebriated amateurs." It looks like the road to professional everything in America has been canned at one time or another," noted Rosenauer, "and now, finally, love." Since no one can actually see love, she added, there is no reason it can't be in a can. She said the idea of canning love "was sort of an emotional inspiration." Once the "love" has been released, the can could be used as a pencil holder or plant holder, Rosenauer said. 'On the inside I
