Vice President for Academic Affairs Bill rye said while tuition for each school and ollege may vary somewhat, the average in- crease will most probably fall in the 16 per- cent to 19 percent average. The need to maintain a competitive salary program for the University's faculty in ad- dition to the state's inability to meet all of higher education's financial needs necessitates such an increase, Frye said. The lack of an adequate salary program would "Threaten to contribute to the loss of some of our distinguished faculty," he said. Frye said more budget reductions at this time would be "extraordinarily destructive to the University," but added further retrench- mpent will likely be inevitable. "An underlying fundamental objective" of keeping the University among the top five in the country prevents the University from trimming its budget too much, Frye said. k Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said the difference of a 16 percent tuition and one See REGENTS, Page 2 Odds 'remote' Fin hlDaily Photo by DEBORAH LEWIS F1..ghting the blaze "o ANN ARBOR FIREMEN battle an early morning fire yesterday at 526 Packard.

N.Y. buildings burn while firemen strike WASHINGTON (AP)-The Interior Department an- nounced yesterday it intends to speed up offshore oil. leases on four sites off the Alaskan coast that it views as having high potential. The announcement brought an immediate complaint from one environmental group, but Interior Secretary James Watt said "stringent environmental safeguards" will be imposed in the leases. The announcement of the five-year program added details to a joint statement last week by Watt and Energy Secretary James Edwards calling for faster leasing of of- fshore oil sites to help end dependence on foreign oil. THE NEW SCHEDULE calls for 42 leases in 1982-86, an increase of six over the most recent plan for a five-year, period, 1981-85. In addition to the Alaska changes, the plan calls for adding one lease off the coast of California and dropping five in the Gulf of Mexico. No decision has been made on offering four more leases off northern California, which are opposed by Gov. Edmund Brown. The new schedule increases by one the leases in 1982 and 1984 and calls for nine sales in 1986, which were not in- cluded in the previous five-year plan. CATHY SMITH of the Friends of the Earth said the faster pace did not allow adequate time for environmental assessment of the sensitive Alaskan areas. "Alaska is the area where the least is known," she said, adding that present technology is not adequate to judge the effect of drilling on deep-water and ice-impacted areas. Ms. Smith said one lease would be in an area near Unimak Pass, which she called a major area for salmon fishing and migration of whales. Economics background will aid new dean By SUE INGLIS Newly named LSA Dean Peter Steiner, an economics and law professor, said in an interview yesterday he doesn't think it's an accident that the college has asked an economist to be dean. "I don't think it's an accident that the president of the University is an economist," Steiner added, referring to Economics Prof. and University President Harold Shapiro. STEINER, 58, SAID his background in economics, 30 years of teaching experience in large universities and his ability as a "good listener" will be effective tools during his five-year term as LSA dean which Wegins July 1. "I understand this kind of university," Steiner said. "The University can no longer say 'Let's all hold our breath and tighten our belts a notch and it will go away,' " he added, citing the University's current budget troubles. Steiner, economics department chairman from 1971 to 1974, will serve as dean to more than 16,000 students and 850 faculty members. THE LSA DEAN IS ONE of the most influential administrators in the University. - The individual who holds the position takes responsibility for mat- ters of curriculum, hires and fires faculty mem- bers, works with department chairpersons and directs the college's budget. The official announcement of Steiner's appoin- trient came yesterday morning during a special LSA faculty meeting called by Vice President for Academic Affairs Bill Frye. The Regents are expec- ted to give final approval to the new dean today. Frye told the faculty Steiner's "understanding of and commitment ot the college's participatory role of governance, courage to make tough decisions, high standards of excellence, and very pleasant forcefulness of his personality" make him an ex- cellent choice for dean. STEINER WAS THE ONLY one of four final can- See NEW, Page 12 From AP and UPI YONKERS, N.Y.-Public works em- ployees and police supervisors joined an illegal walkout by firefighters yesterday, and the mayor appealed for National Guard troops after some fires burned unchecked overnight in New York's fourth-largest city. Striking firemen attacked volunteer firefighters summoned from surroun- ding towns and watched as several fires destroyed unoccupied buildings, one across the street from an empty fire house. There were no reported injuries. Gov. Hugh Carey urged the nearly 1,000 strikers to "obey the law -and return to duty," and said nearby towns should help Yonkers with fire protec- tion. He would not commit the National Guard immediately, saying only, "I stand ready to call in those that can help." THE STRIKE began Wednesday by 410 workers in two firefighters' unions after contract talks broke off between the city and four unions. The negotiations, which concern only fringe benefits, resumed yesterday, in the presence of a representative of the state Public Employees Relations Board. The ranks of the strikers were more than doubled yesterday when strikes were called by the other two unions in- volved in the talks.

A 12-year-old fatherless boy is able to go bowling and do other things he'd never get to do without Rick Hughey, an LSA sophomore. Neil Cohen, a freshman psychology major, plays basketball with mentally ill patients at the VA Hospital. These students are helping others and getting credit for it through Project Outreach, Psychology 201. OUTREACH OFFERS STUDENTS a chance to link their academic knowledge with experience in the field, explore different career fields and get on-the-job training, according to Ad- ministrative Director Georgie Ferris. She stressed that while Outreach benefits the community, its main pur- pose is to teach students. Senior psychology major Jackie Pearlman says she benefits from being able to use her research-oriented background to watch how theories work in the Ypsilanti Psychiatric Hospital Forensics Center. Pearlman says most of the patients at the maximum- security Center are eager to talk with someone and play cards or pool. LSA sophomore Debbie Peckham, student coordinator in the Forensics Psychology program, says some students have trouble at first adjusting to the mental patients, most of whom have been accused of committing felonies-robbery, rape, or murder. Peckham says the patients sometimes verbally "test" or even try to scare the students, to see how they react. PEARLMAN SPENDS FOUR hours or more each week doing "field work" at the Forensics Center. Each Outreach student, in addition to completing the field work requirement, must also at- tend weekly group discussions and lec- tures. The Outreach course is divided into nine project areas, with various field work settings in each area. Dale Horowski, a junior psychology major and student coordinator of Tran- sition, one of the settings in the Mental Health project area, says students learn t"practical things about psychology-how a hospital runs, drug use for patients-all the cold, hard realities." He says students do not ad- minister therapy or act as psychologists. The Transition project See PROJECT, Page 10 Outreach students are important to the elderly because they "hold someone's hand, listen to what they have to say. These people are crying out to be heard. .°:" Ann Marie Hebeler, LSA sophomore. ..... .... . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..,. ...... . . . . . .... ..u... ..:'.s. :. ,. .. .....a........ .w,.o <.. . . .,. . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ., .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..s. . . . . . ..,<:n,.. .,.. .r., .. 9..ok..... .a.:, 9.". o h. n.. n.. rs... .............. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....f.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17.. . . . . .. . . . . . . .

Carroll Barnard, a farmer in Amelia, Va., says his pig farm may not smell like a bed of roses, but he thinks a recent court decision against him stinks. He was ordered by Amelia County Circuit Judge Thomas Warren to pay $1,500 in damages to three neighbors who charged that odors and flies from Barnard's 137-acre farm were a nuisance. Bar- nard maintained the only time his pig operation smells is when the manure is taken from the pens-which have con- crete floors-and buried in a nearby field.
