"For days I've been dealing with University bureaucracy," Bursley Resident Advisor Jim Gold told his audience. Gold advised the students of the bus service cutbacks and suggested several courses of action, such as having paren- ts call University officials, writing let- ters, and signing petitions. "I THINK THIS method will scare the hell out of them (University ad- ministrators) and we won't have to go to harsher methods," he said. "If we don't get action within a week, I have no qualms about storming them," Gold said. Michigan Student Assembly President Marc Breakstone also ap- peared at the meeting to inform studen- ts of MSA's support. The University eliminated several late night bus runs to North Campus for financial reasons. Last year, the buses operated every night until 2:15 a.m., but the latest runs now are 12:15 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, 1 a.m. Fridays, and 1:20 a.m. Saturdays. The decision was based on recom- mendations made to the University's executive officers by the adhoc Ad- visory Committee on Traffic and Parking, the members of which in- cluded Transportation Services Manager John Ellsworth and Assistant to the Vice President and Chief Finan- cial Officer Harlan Mulder. The administration attempted similar cutbacks two years ago, but agreed to continue the late bus service following a study, co-sponsored by MSA and the Uniyersity, which indicated North Campus residents would ride the buses at those late hours. Governor asks 4.5 per cent 'U' fund hike AT THAT TIME then-Interim University President Allan Smith told former MSA member Richard Pace the minimum number of weekly riders would have to be 825 to have the service continued. But according to Brinkerhoff, that figure has neyer been reached. In addition, Breakstbne pointed out what he called the University's "irresponsibility" in failing to involve students in the decision-making. "Over the summer, when no one was around, they went ahead and did research (to decide on bus service). But there was no student input in the process," he said in an interview before the dorm meeting. "If the question is money, if enough pressure is put on the University, I think they (the Univer- .sity) can come up with it. We (MSA) will be in full support." GOLD AND AN MSA officer who asked not to be identified said conver- sations with Associate Housing Direc- tor Norm Sunstad, a committee mem- ber, revealed thetdecision was based on the notion that the late buses do not shuttle students to and from the library, See BURSLEY, Page 9 By JULIE ENGEBRECHT In his latest revision of the state's recession-wracked budget, Gov. William Milliken has recommended that the University receive $151.3 million in state funds-more than $2 million above the figure on which the University's current-year budget is based. The latest proposal is 4.5 per cent-or $6.5 million-more than what the University received from the state last year. The new budget figures will be released today to legislative ap- propriations panels, the committees that hand out the money. The recom- mendations are based on the latest in- formation about the state's ailing economy and were finalized late Wed- nesday. The .University's 1980-81 budget, which was approved by the Regents in July, raises tuition 13 per cent, faculty and staff salaries 9 per cent, and assumes a 3 per cent increase in money from the state. The state budget, which is usually approved in July, has been slow in coming because 'of the rapidly changing-and worsening-financial picture in Michigan. As unemployment in the state climbs to record levels, welfare and unemployment payments rise, financially straining other areas, such as higher education, that depend on state appropriations. University and state officials say the 1980-81 budget will either be approved See 'U', Page 10 To our readers . . . By HOWARD WITT Nearly $10,000 of remodeling work in the president's box at Michigan Stadium was completed this week while a $100,000 project to improve the heating system in the president's house continued. The renovations coincide with similar work being done at Michigan State University in East Lansing, for which MSU President Cecil Mackey has drawn criticism in recent weeks. NEW CARPETING and wallcovering, theatre-style seats, acoustical ceiling tiles, and a television set to be linked to WUOM football broadcasts were among the im- provements made to University President Harold Shapiro's stadium box. Funding for the $10,000 project came rTOD! Refurbished Record from interest earned on monetary gifts to the University, University Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff said yesterday. The president's box, which is often used to entertain visiting dignitaries and alumni, measures about 12 feet square and was first used during the 1956-57 season. No renovation work has been done on it until this year. THE FIRST-FLOOR heating and electrical systems in the president's house, located on South University Ave., are being renovated with $98,500 in University capital improvement fun- ds. The house, like the football box, is of- ten used for official University fun- ctions. Brinkerhoff told the Regents last See FIX-UP, Page 11 Beginning with this issue, The Daily is sporting a new look designed to make the paper more pleasing to the eye and easier to read. But more important than the cosmetic changes are the philosophical revisions that accompany them. We have reassessed our news coverage priorities in an attempt to make The Daily a publication more appealing to the diverse members of the University community. Our primary goal has always been to offer readers what no other publication can: Extensive daily coverage of University-related issues and events. Our virtual monopoly standing in this regard makes the responsibility even more important. The results of our intensified commitment to this responsibility will be seen in all sections of the paper throughout the year. Daily reporters will be scouring the campus and the city for the stories behind the people and institutions that make the University and Ann Arbor the exciting, vibrant, and often controver- sial arenas that they are. We also want to acknowledge more thoroughly and consistently the achiev- ments of University students and faculty. Brief announcements of awards, scholarships, and other accomplishments will be published regularly. To maintain our complete coverage of the news of the day, our concise regional, national, and international coverage will continue. With your help, we can better determine what style of coverage is best for the market we serve. By letter, call, or visit, let us know how we're doing. We're anxious to listen. -Mark Parrent Editor-in-Chief Daily Photo by PAUL ENGSTROW THE NEWLY RENOVATED president's box at Michigan Stadium (left) includes new carpeting, chairs, and panelling. At right is the press box which is how the president's box looked before the $10,000 renovations. L The UnivlRecord RETURNING stu- dents, faculty, and staff picking up the latest copy of the University Record may have noticed a difference in the economic reasons. "President Shapiro asked all depar- tments to look at where they could cut their budgets ... Our office estimates that these and other changes will save us about $20,000 a year," Hinz explained. A major change in the department was the discontinuation of the U-M News, a monthly University news publication received by all non- instructional staff members. However, Hinz emphasized stopping publication of the U-M News will not inconvenien- ce faculty and staff members interested in the University news. "We will be carrying many of the News' old features in the Record, things like listing of promotions and retirees, Work/Study and non-Work/Study. Students can review a list of positions available both on-and off-campus in the office. Non'-Work/Study positions are also listed on boards located on the second floor of SAB and in the basement of the Michigan Union. Also, the Office of Financial Aid will hold the annual Work/Study Job Fair September 9 in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Work/Study students must present their Financial Aid Authorization to be admitted to the fair.

Johnny on the spot Final arguments were held in Detroit yesterday in a landmark court case involving Tonight Show host Johnny Carson and a portable outhouse firm that Carson claims is unfairly using his name. The dispute centers on a brand of the outhouse, which is rented out to construciton com- panies, carnivals, and the like, called "Here's Johnny." Restyng more than new face" f I . 1 1 i i
