The decision puts a damper on the band's hope that it will somehow be able to scrape together enough money to travel to the Notre Dame, Ohio State, and other away games. Canham charged that an article that appeared in a local newspaper last summer was used to pressure him for more funding. '/Someone planted a story in the Ann Arbor News to pressure us," Canham said. "We don't pressure easily." . THE ATHLETIC Department gave the mar- ching band $15,000 this year for travel to the Ohio 'We don't pressure easily,' he says State game-a $5,000 increase over last year, ac-. cording to Canham. In an interview last week, Music School Associate Dean Paul Lehman said the allocation was "not enough to take the band to any of the games." The band is in trouble this year because private donors have failed to contribute as much as in past years. The reduction that some say is caused by the recession has forced the band to search for additional money from other sources. EACH YEAR the athletic department gives the band money toward expenses to either the Ohio State or Michigan State away game. Last year, ,'Canham said, the band received $70,000-$50,000 for travel to the Gator Bowl and $20,000 for the Purdue and Michigan State games. Canham said he has had no recent contact with the Music School and "I don't intend to." Music School Dean Paul Boylan was unavailable for comment yesterday, but Leh- man said no verdict has been reached on travel to South Bend and Columbus. He said he was not aware of Canham's funding decision. Former Michigan Marching Band Conductor Glenn Richter said in a telephone interview yesterday from Austin, Tex., that the issue is not the amount of money needed by the band, but whoshould supply it. "THE GREATEST PROBLEM now is lots of buck-passing over who's responsible," Richter explained. "I'm just speculating, but I'm sure Canham thinks he has given enough money. It's a hot potato situation and the band is caught without any money." Richter, the new director of bands at the University of Texas, said one of his con- siderations for leaving the University last sum- mer was lack of band f nding. "There was a pretty bleak picture," he said. "You can't have a program survive in its ex- cellent tradition and maintain it without proper funding. I didn't see any solution from Canham and didn't have any hope." CANHAM LONG HAS taken the view that the athletic department is not responsible for fun- ding the band. "It's not our problem," he said. "We raised $400,000 to $500,000 last year. They have to raise their own money." The athletic department, Canham maintained, cannot and should not give the band money for every away game. If the band decides not to go to Columbus on November 22, Canham said, See CANHAM, Page 9 Anderson to debate; Carter reluctant From AP and UPI WASHINGTON-The League of Women Voters yesterday voted unanimously to invite John Anderson to its presidential debates, but President Carter immediately refused to par- ticipate in a three-way session. The decision by the board gave An- Additional coverage of the presidential race is on Page 8. derson a significant victory. But Car- ter's dedision to "respectfully decline" left the fate of the Sept. 21 debate in Baltimore up in the air. Robert Strauss, Carter's campaign chairman, said the president is prepared "to debate any and all can- didates." But Strauss said Carter was insisting on an opening debate that would be limited to himself and Ronald Reagan, his GOP rival. STRAUSS SAID Reagan had been of- fered at least three other opportunities for two-man debates with Carter and had refused each of them. He said agreeing to the League's three-man format would preclude any chance for a head-on debate between Carter and Reagan. Ruth Hinerfeld, who heads the League's Education Fund, said late yesterday the organization was prepared to go ahead with the initial debate-with or without Carter. Strauss told a news conference "the president is prepared to debate any and all candidates that Governor Reagan or the League of Women Voters can suggest if Governor Reagan will first meet the president in a one-on-one debate. "SINCE GOVERNOR Reagan and the League of Women Voters has refused to even discuss the scheduling of a one-on-one debate, we are convin- ced that acceptance of this invitation would preclude any chance of such a one-on-one debate, and therefore, we must respectfully decline," the cam- paign chairman said. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said the Carter camp was told by the League that "even at a later date" they would not be prepared to sponsor a Carter-Reagan debate. "It confirmed our worst suspicions," Powell said, adding "we'll just have to wait and see" about the possible political impact. POWELL SAID he still believes something will be worked out before Nov. 4 and "we'll end up with debates." Carter previously had shown great reluctance to debate Anderson and Reagan together on grounds it would mean climbing into the ring with two Republicans. Anderson immediately accepted the League's invitation, and Reagan, cam- paigning in Chicago, said "I'm going to be there." He said he would debate An- derson alone if Carter declines the debate invitation. CARTER HAD renewed the doubt over chances of a three-way debate when he said earlier yesterday that An- derson "is primarily a creation of the press" who has never won a primary even in his own home state.

A renovation plan was approved by the University's executive officers yesterday and is expected to get the nod from the Regents next week. Union renovations cear another hurdle Late hours at, UGLI restored By JULIE SELBST A long-awaited facelift for the Michigan Union is one step closer today as the University's executive officers approved a plan for im- provements to the building at a meeting yesterday. University President Harold Shapiro and the five vice presidents agreed to send to the Regents a detailed program statement that outlines proposed improvements to the Union. At their meeting next week, the Regents are expected to give their approval to the plan, at which time architect interviews and a feasibility study will be initiated. THE APPROVED statement lists six items as the most important elements of the renovation project. They are: a student-oriented food service, a bookstore, programming space, multi-purpose rooms, lounges, and a commercial concour- se. According to the statement, the ground floor of the Union is to be transformed from its current "tun- nel-like atmosphere... (to) an open- shop marketplace which is friendly and inviting." Approval of the program statement does not necessarily mean all changes to the Union suggested in the document will ac- tually take place. The architectural firm performing the feasibility study will advise on the prac- ticability of items in the statement. EXPLAINED UNION Director Frank Cianciola: "We're asking for permission to interview the ar- chitects for a feasibility study right now. Hopefully it will be someone with experience in renovation, someone with experience in ' food services and student centers and student oriented facilities. We also want an organization that works See UNION, Page 2 No decision reached on North Campus bus hours extension The University's executive officers yesterday reached no immediate decision on extending the hours of the North Campus bus system. But, according to Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff, the transportation depar- tment is studying the problem and will report to him by 8 a.m. today. "It (the bus situation) is a very sim- ple question, but it takes the research of those who have the data down in tran- sportation," he said. president would have no comment until today. On Monday, 13 North Campus residents met with Shapiro to propose a single North Campus "loop" bus that would run from Central Campus to Bursley, Baits, and Northwood Apar- tments between midnight and 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. The proposal also called for Friday and Saturday bus service similar to that of last year. Earlier this summer, the University cut back the North Campus bus service hours, citing low ridership and in- creased costs. But protests raised by many of the residents brought the issue to the administration's attention. By SARA ANSPACH In response to several student com- plaints, the head of the Undergraduate Library decided yesterday to restore the UGLI's traditional 2 a.m. closing time Sunday ,through Thursday nights starting September 28. Head Librarian Rose-Grace Faucher had originally moved up the closing hour to midnight in an effort to save money because the library's budget is especially tight this fall. SEVERAL STUDENTS, however, complained on the library's suggestion board about the shortened hours, and many protested the cuts to Michigan Student Assembly President Marc Breakstone. "I was outraged (about the cuts)," said Breakstone. On Monday, Breakstone said he called Faucher and asked about why the cuts had been made. "I told her that if students were sur- veyed there might be another set of hours students would prefer to be cut," he said. "I also told her we would un- dertake an intense effort (to restore the late night hours.)" YESTERDAY, FAUCHER said she re-evaluated her decision in light of Breakstone's call, student complaints and an article in yesterday's Daily about the library cuts. "The feeling is that students need a place to study late," Faucher said. Although, she had estimated Monday that approximately 50 students used the library each night from 12 to 1 a.m. and fewer from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m., she said yesterday that her records show an average of 166 students studying in the library at 12:30 a~m. Faucher said she ,did not know how the library would absorb the 'cost of restoring' the closing time until mid- night. The Undergraduate Library was told to cut 5,000 part time service hours this year, she said, and closing two hours earlier would have saved 722 part time hours. A DAILY SAMPLING of students studying at the UGLI showed that while many did not realize the hours had been cut, they were pleased to have the late night hours restored. "I like the opportunity to study (past midnight)," said Law student Mike Hainer. He said while he personally wouldn't study much past midnight at the UGLI, he though many law students would take advantage of the extra hours. The move back to the old hours will begin Sept. 28. The library will be open 8 a.m.-2 a.i. Monday through Thur- sday, 8 a.m.-midnight Friday, 10 a.m.- midnight Saturday, and noon-2 a.m. Sunday.

"Those who saw me on television thought I looked terrible, which I did, and they ... agreed that he'd won." Nixon also said on the program that he expects the voter turnout this year to rise to 60 percent, because of an apparently close race between Carter and Reagan and "the Anderson factor."
