The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 17, 1981-Page 3 THIS WEEK A T REGENTS PIRGIM decision due By BARRY WITT University Regents are expected to decide the fate of funding for the Public Research Interest Group in Michigan at this week's monthly meeting. The issue to be decided is whether the University will continue to allow PIRGIM to use a voluntary system of student assessment at CRISP or at PIRGIM's request, use an automatic refusable/refundable assessment for all students. PIRGIM IS EXPECTED to ask the Regents to consider a proposal whereby students would automatically be charged the PIRGIM fee each term, but could ask for a refund. Currently the public interest group is under contract with the University to request students to voluntarily add $2 to their term assessment by checking a box on their Student Verification forms at CRISP. The University executive officers hav recommended that the Regents con- tinue this agreement through 1984. ALSO AT THE March meeting, which takes place Thursday and Friday, the Regents will receive an update on the University's Replacement Hospital Project. Administrators will present Regents with plans for the first stages of site clearance for the project - which is scheduled to begin Oct. 1. Regents will also hear the annual report on minority recruitment, enrollment, retention, and graduation - which includes for the first time suggestions from deans, directors of programs, and others on ways, the University could increase its minority enrollment. (See related story, Page 1.) The Regents will hear a summary of the University's 1981-82 budget plans from Vice President for Academic Af- fairs Bill Frye. In his report to the Regents, Frye states, "The degree of uncertainty surrounding several com- ponent parts of the budget necessitates a very tentative approach (to budget planning) at this time." RETRENCHMENT PLANS, "critical to all future actions, since they must be in place if the general fund is to be in balance as of July 1," are proceeding on schedule, Frye reports. "The review process . . . has facilitated both timely and fair con- sideration of the reduction proposals," the vice president adds. The report also warns the Regents that both state and federal funding for University programs stand on shaky ground. The 12 percent increase in general fund allocation from the state is expected to be approved by mid-April, but the actual amount the University will receive depends on an economic recovery in the state. "IF THE (STATE) revenue estimates prove overly optimistic ... then the higher education appropriation is vulnerable to subsequent reduction through Executive order," Frye repor- ts. Lacking full confidence in the state's ability to provide the proposed ap- propriation, budget planning will con- tinue on a contingency basis, according to Frye. Frye also noted the possibility of a decrease in research support and student financial aid programs from the federal government subject to congressional approval, but says he is unsure how financial aid cuts will affect enrollment. The report also contains the first of- ficial warning of impending tuition in- creases to keep up with expenses. "While we are reluctant to force this burden upon our students . . . we may have no alternative," Frye adds. IMiliken forecasts slow economic upturn LANSING (UPI) - Gov. Milliken said today Michigan's economy will begin recovering this year from the nightmare of 1980, although unem- ployment will rise slightly and inflation remain at double digit levels. The governor, in his annual forecast, also stressed Michigan's economic recovery is dependent on national developments, including a substantial federal tax cut and reduced interest rates. "I AM OPTIMISTIC that there will be significant improvement in the second half of 1981, paving the way for a relatively strong economic performan- ce in 1982," Milliken said. "By many standards, 1980 was the worst year for the Michigan economy since the Great Depression; as in- flation, high interest rates and in- creasing competition in the automobile industry combined to severely depress economic activity," he said. Real personal income in Michigan fell 9.1 percent in 1980 - the largest, decline since the 1930s - with wages and salaries showing the smallest growth in 20 years, the administration reported. AVERAGE unemployment was a record 534,000 persons, with all- important motor vehicle production falling 38.7 percent. Inflation raced ahead at 38.7 percent, up from 12.7 percent in 1979 - the largest year-to-year gain since 1920. Consumer spending, adjusted 'for in- flation, fell 14.5 percent. Milliken predicted employment in Michigan will rise 1.2 percent, but will be more than offset by an increase in job seekers, resulting in an unem- ployment rate of 12.7 percent for the year - up from 12.4 percent for 1980. A 10.8 percent increase in personal incsome will be wiped out by a slower in- flation rate of 11.7 percent, resulting in a .8 percent decline in real earnings - an improvement over 1980. Real retail sales also are expected to fall, although by a fraction of last year's rate. The administration predicted total Michigan auto production for the year to hit 2.7 million units, an increase of 25 percent linked to an expected im- provement in national sales. Significan- tly - for a state once associated with large gas guzzlers - nearly half of the cars produced in Michigan this year will be compacts or subcompacts, the administration said.
