"Decisions like this are harmful to students," Teich said. "The city should realize the student body is the raison d'etre of this town-this administration can't continue to ignore student in- terests if they want to remain in of- fice." The Ann Arbor Transitional and Vacant Land Areas study, undertaken in January by a Detroit consulting firm, would establish guidelines for future city development. THE STUDY is currently under con- sideration by the city Planning Com- mission and,will face no action until January, 1981. At that time a revised version will be adopted by the com- mission and sent to City Council for final approval. In the central campus area, for example, the study calls for the replacement of old, deteriorating homes that have housed generations of students with housing units designed for fewer occupants. Robert Swarthout, vice president of Luedtke and Associates, the firm that conducted the study, explained that precautions must be taken to preserve transitional neighborhoods from deterioration, a problem that often oc- curs when older homes are converted into multi-family units. "THIS (STUDY) might result in a lower density than desired by some," Swarthout acknowledged. But he added that the study allows for further housing development at many of the transitional sites investigated. City areas or structures that are con- sidered under the plan for conversion to multi-family residences are: The old St. Joseph Hospital located at Catherine and Inglis Streets; the See LAND, Page 7 to balance From staff and UPI reports Further cutbacks in state funding for the University are one part of a grim budget-balancing plan unveiled by Gov. William Milliken last night in his second televised address in five weeks. Milliken said he would ask lawmakers to balance the state's 1980- 81 budget through $300 million in "ex- tremely painful" cuts instead of tax hikes. THESE CUTS, Milliken said, would. include $60 million from higher education. University President- Harold Shapiro said last night that this would probably mean a decrease of about five per cent from last year's state allocation to the University. University administrators recently have been planning on only a four per cent budget cut for 1980-81, which was worse than the original "worse case" prediction, in which state allocations were expected to remain at 1979-80 levels. With inflation rates over 10 per cent, Milliken's proposed cut "will be a very tough blow for us to respond to," Shapiro said. budget SHAPIRO SAID the University vi try to continue in the same directionit has been this year, despite the setback., "The full impact of the cut will-be more noticeable in the 1981-82 budget; Shapiro said. He explained that this year, the University will be able to rely somewhat on its reserves to offset the cuts. Flanked by American and Michigan flags on a public television studio set, Milliken grimly outlined cuts in all facets of state government - including education, welfare, state police and local revenue sharing payments. ABOUT 1,000 additional state workers - including 125 state troopers - likely will be laid off while some state parks might have to be closed as a result of the proposed cuts. Iegislative leaders got the bad news, from Milliken earlier in the day in a closed-door meeting. Referring to a text instead of using a teleprompter, Milliken said he gave: "careful consideration" to raising: taxes to avoid further cuts but discar- ded the idea - in part because of the; See MILLIKEN, Page 3 ABBIE HOFFMAN speaks to a Michigan Theatre crowd last night about his life underground.

Daily Photo by JOHN HAG Hoffman iicules Reagan in local appearance High anxity Program seeks to help, students under pressure, By STEVE HOOK and MAUREEN FLEMING Activist Abbie Hoffman went on two trips yesterday. First, he appeared before the New York State Supreme Court to face charges of selling cocaine. His hearing was postponed, however. Second, he flew to Ann Arbor to ap- pear at the Michigan Theater as part of the Viewpoint Lecture series. During his two-hour address to about 550 people, Hof- fman spoke bitterly, if not mockingly, of the decade ahead in the United States. His ridicule of President-elect Ronald Reagan provided assurance that, if he is not im- prisoned on the drug charges, he will continually challenge the new administration. "It's like being a genie and coming out of a bottle after seven years (of exile in the U.S. and abroad)," Hoffman said, "you've got a lot you want to talk about." "KNOWN FOR his clowning and exhibitionism while publicly denouncing government policies ("I've been thanked for putting fun into activism," he boasted), Hof- fman's address was at times a bawdi, George Carlin. esque comedy monologue, and at others, a somber description of what he sees as a society gone bad, with serious trouble ahead. "It would all be a joke if it wasn't so sad," Hoffman declared after a laugh-filled description of what he called "Reaganomics." "Ronny the Roughrider," Hoffman joked, "he fell off more horses than any TV cowboy in history." Hoffman predicted that Reagan will "stroke out" within a year, "and then it'll be President Bush, David Rockefeller's boy." See HOFFMAN, Page 3 By BARB KUBIK The student stared blankly at his exam paper while a fat bead of sweat rolled ever so slowly down his neck, working its way along his tensed back. Sweat was also beginning to cover the palms of his cold, trembling hands and his furrowed brow. He had entered the examination room anxiety-ridden minutes before, a con- dition that intensified soon after he en- countered that first perplexing question on the sheet. Now, none of the questions seemed to make any sense at all. The tension mounted. He might get a lower grade on the test, he anguished, or worse, blow it completely. How could he face himself, his friends, and his family knowing his grade point average had plumetted to an abyssmal 3.8? THE NERVOUSNESS that accom- panies midterm and final examination weeks is a condition that many students learn to cope with. But for some studen- ts the anxiety can build up to a point where it seriously affects their grades, social lives, and even their health. The condition may be especially common among students in various University honors programs, according to Tom Morson, a counselor at the University Office of Student Services Counseling Services. Morson has designed the Anxiety Workshop to help honors students over- See WORKSHOP, Page 7 ~~~... ... ...................... ..............:. ... ... . . . . . . . . Students query Canham By SARA ANSPACH and BARRY WITT Couzens Hall residents last night had a rare opportunity to talk with the University's best- known promotional and financial wizard - Athletic Director Don Canham. Invited by a Couzens resident advisor to speak to dormitory residents, Canham was warmly received by a crowd of more than 50 students. With post-season bowl bids coming out this weekend, football dominated the conversation. CANHAM WAS reluctant to make any predictions on the out- comes of the Purdue and Ohio State games. He did, however, hypothesize on the post-season bowl picture, saying that if Michigan were to lose either of its last two games (and therefore forfeit its chances of a Rose bowl Football bowl picture dominates dorm forum bid), it is unlikely that the Wolverines would be invited to any of the other New Year's bowls (Cotton, Orange, and Sugar). . Canham said that after those four games, the Fiesta Bowl and Gator Bowl are considered to be, the most prestigious, but it is unlikely Michigan would attend the Gator Bowl in view of its par- ticipation in last year's game. When questioned about the much-publicized hazing of a member of the hockey team, Canham said the event was blown out of proportion by the media, and he condemned reports of the hazing from the resident advisor in Markley who had originally contacted the media about the story. Canham called the hazing an "initiation rite that got out of hand. They (the hockey players) had a party and got drunk.. . It was stupid, but that's what hap- pened," Canham said. ALTHOUGH several students asked about sanctions taken against the players, Canham told them it was "nobody's business." The recently-completed Title IX review of the athletic depar- tment went well, Canham said. Although he said he didn't know what the findings of the Depar- tment of Education will be, he told the students: "I don't see how it can be anything but good." Canham said the University does as well as any school in the area of providing equal oppor- tunities to male and female athletes. A student then asked if that meant women's and men's teams were given exactly equal treat- ment at the University. CANHAM QUICKLY replied that no, men's and women's teams were "not even close" for several reasons. He said that men's athletics has been around for at least 100 years, and that women have quite a bit of cat- ching up to do. For example, he said, curren- tly there are not enough qualified women athletes to justify gran- ting the same amount of scholar- ship money to women as is given to male athletes.

ODAY Want to graduate? LL STUDENTS planning to graduate May 2 are reminded that tomorrow is the deadline to submit graduation materials for a guaranteed audit confirming all requirements have been met. Candidates who do not comply with the deadline cannot be guaranteed that a University auditor will check his or her records to compile missing credit hours, concentration classes, and cognates in time for the student to reorganize his or her Winter term class schedule.

She explained that it was time women took this problem into their own hands and gained control of the situation. The rape site information was compiled from newspaper clippings and oral reports, the spokeswoman said. Touchy business A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and a bordello by any other name is still thought of as a place of business.

"In the first month after we had moved in, we would get an average of 10 cars a day and as many as two dozen on Sundays." Evidently the sex- seekers won't take the hint because the family has posted signs in the front yard, on the garage, on trees down the' long driveway, and on the front door telling people that the home is a private residence. Patti DiNunzio said her husband is getting kind of touchy about the problem. "A young man came up and refused to believe the prostitutes were gone. He looked past my husband and saw me.

Unfortunately, barmaid Inez Face didn't go for the idea of Dennis being in the establishment since he had been denied the right to return following earlier tran- sgressions. When she attempted to oust him, she said younger brother Ken intervened by shoving her and using "that choice word." Face retaliated by slapping him. Mayor Schlee, who denies the barmaid's version of. the story, does admit to subsequently requesting Patrolman Mark Bowser arrest Face on assault and battery charges. Bowser says he denied the elder Schlee's request, at which point the mayor asked him how much he valued his job. Schle denied this a11p0 tinn tnn CnC neilman Lewis Jnhn-
