The Michigan Daily-Friday, September 19, 1980-Page 3 Dearborn students fight to retain March break UEIWnE I ( ) -"" ( By JAY McCORMICK Students on the University's Dear- born campus sent representatives with petitions bearing 1,071 signatures to the Regent's meeting yesterday to protest the shift of Spring break on the academic calendar. Spring break, which is usually scheduled for the first week of March, has been moved back to start on Feb. 22 next term on the Ann Arbor campus only. Dearborn Chancellor William Jenkins had requested that the break at his campus be shifted to coincide with the calendar at the Ann Arbor campus. He told student government president Saul Anuzis, Michigan Journal (Dear- born's student newspaper) editor Bill Rapai, and ski club president Scott Cassey he will withdraw his letter, thereby leaving Dearborn's Spring break at the traditional March 2 spot on the calendar. JENKINS SAID HE had talked to Aid needed to meet University's budget. faculty andthe deans of this school, and they had all expressed a desire for the shift to coincide with Ann Arbor's break. "I made one mistake," Jenkins said. "I didn't check with the students." Jenkins added, "In withdrawing it (the letter), others will be inconvenien- ced," including faculty who have spouses working on the Ann Arbor campus, and students and faculty who work and attend classes on both cam- puses. Rapai, the first of the student representatives to air the grievance to the Regents, said the earlier break would inconvenience students who had made advance plans, or who were planning a trip to the South. "I'll see you-in Fort Lauderdale," he said to the Regents at the end of his presentation. After Jenkins told him he would with- draw the letter, Rapai said, "With the break held that early, you might as well call it Winter break." Anuzis said this may be the first time students from the Dearborn campus have made presentations to the Regen- ts, but it will not be the last.

Speaking on the latest appropriation plan, Vice President Billy Frye told the Regents yesterday, "It's not clear that even those recommendations can fly finally." THE UNIVERSITY has tightened its belt. "We are proceeding with con- tingency planning based on a more negative assumption," Frye said. Plans for little or no increase in state appropriations include a moratorium on hiring and a freeze on equipment and maintenance funds. At the same time, Frye said, the ad- ministration will begin to look at the responses of schools, departments, and other divisions of the University to his request for proposed cuts in next year's budgets. Frye said the responses of the in- dividual units, which he described as "quite thoughtful," will be used to determine whether the hiring again, and release the funds in equipment and maintenance accounts. Once the University has its feet back on the ground, Frye said, more "rational" cuts, such as program reductions, will be evaluated. N v IF A 0 U starting today....

ALL MONIES WERE raised by con- tributions from alumni and friends of the University. According to Bay, donations have been coming in for the past two years. "We never really announced a wide scale campaign," Bay said. "We just kept people abreast of the situation through the alumni magazine." , The Alumni Association started a direct mail solicitation campaign 18 months ago. Contributions ranged from $5 ( to more than $200,000 from one family. "Some people pledged money over a period of years. Some pledged a portion of their estates," Bay said. He said the association may ask selected individuals, from time to time, to give more money. He also said donations are continuing to trickle in frompcontributors. course books formerl r sold iln the ballroom o~f the ichigan union are available exclusively downstairs..... -open mon-thurs 9-9 frI 9-530 sat 10-5 sun 12-5 a p Imagine you designing a system that locate any s in the ocear Imagine your t building a th imaging sys that can see throug darkness. a gga n gg .
