Frye presented the still-rough draft for the plan to members of the Senate Assembly at their regular meeting yesterday. While Frye's presentation held few surprises, news of a com- promise between Frye and Michigan Student Assembly leaders signalled an end to the student participation con- troversy. AS THE PLAN now stands, Frye told the faculty governing board, the University intends to free some $10 million for reallocation by dismissing some personnel while reviewing selec- ted programs for' heavy budget cuts or outright elimination. Further savings would be made through "variable shared reductions" on all units not scheduled for heavy reduction. Frye said he expects academic units' budgets in this category will average a five percent reduction over the five years. Ad- ministrative units' budgets will bear an average ten percent cut over the course of the plan. Frye will present the proposal to the Regents during their monthly meeting at the end of this week. FRYE SAID the funds would be reallocated toward higher priority areas, including faculty salaries, merit- based support for graduate students, improvement of research and teaching environments and incentives, and "new intellectual developments"-growth and development of selected academic programs. The framework calls for reallocation of approximately $4 million during each of the plan's five years, Frye said. He noted the process to target units for review has already begun and that the first round of reviews should begin no later than March 1. Frye added that, "to avoid creating undue anxiety," all reviews planned for the near future would be announced by July 1, the beginning of the University's 1982-1983 fiscal year. IN THE CQURSE of implementing the plan, Frye said, tenured faculty members may be discharged if their program is eliminated and no alter- native position is available for them. "I do. not expect the University to begin, rampantly discharging tenured faculty," Frye said. "The damage that would do. . . would more than offset any benefits we expect from the proposal." Frye said the University will attempt to relocate or re-train all displaced tenured faculty. The student participation debate en- ded in compromise late last week, student leaders reported yesterday. Earlier in the month,. Frye had proposed that MSA provide him with a pool of qualified students from which he could select representatives for review subcommittees.

See FISHER, Page 2 Hunter Fisher ... wins key precincts ... not surprised Regent Baker runs for Senate LANSING (UPI) - University of Michigan Regent Deane Baker for- mally launched his U.S. Senate cam- paign yesterday with a bid to occupy middle ground in the Republican primary field. Speaking at a capital news conferen- ce, Baker defined himself as less con- servative than former U.S. Rep. Robert Huber, but to the right of former U.S. Rep. Phil Ruppe and former state licensing director William Ballenger. THE TWO-TERM regent stressed his background as a businessman in the construction industry, saying "Michigan and its shattered economy needs a builder." The Ann Arbor Republican, who finished dead last in the 1976 senatorial primary, said polling data and his strong showing in regent elections give him optimism about his prospects. He sought to turn his relatively modest fundraising accomplishments to his political advantage. Baker announced his candidacy at news conferences in Detroit and Lan- sing. The soft-spoken businessman wore a dark blue suit with a Polish "Solidarity" button and read from a lengthy, prepared campaign statement before taking questions. MICHIbAN'S U.S. senator must provide proven economic leadership, he said, noting that he is "a builder and a businessman" who has constructed housing in depressed urban areas and worked with unions. Baker, in response to a question, said there is "no doubt Robert Huber is on the right side of the spectrum" in the GOP contest. "I think that I fall bet- ween him and Mr. Ruppe and Mr. Ballenger.. . who represent the further See 'U', Page 7 Baker ... pledges economic leadership Congress developing new, stricter GSL. standards., By JIM SCHREITMUELLER Students hoping to qualify for assistance next year through the Guaranteed Student Loan program will have to comply to new, stricter standards, according to University financial aid officials. A congressional subcommittee is restructuring the GSL program, developing a "tighter definition of financial need," Elaine Nowak, the University's GSL coordinator, explained. THE SUBCOMITTEE is expected to deliver a revised eligibility plan late in March, just five mon- ths after a revision restricting GSL assistance to only those students whose families earn less than $30,000 per year was enacted. "It's a wait and see situation," Nowak said. All governmental financial aid programs are linked to President Reagan's fiscal 1983 budget, she explained, a formula expected to squeeze expenditures for higher education. The subcommittee is considering four proposals, according to Harvey Grotrian, University Director of financial aid. THERE ARE several ways in which the gover- nment could ease the burden of financing GSLs, Grotrian said. One proposal being considered in Washington would 'hike the origination fee-the processing fee charged off the top of the loan-from 5 See CONGRESS, Page 2 Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Rescue efforts Ann Arbor emergency medical service personnel take a heart attack victim to the hospital yesterday from the Federal Building at Liberty and Division. 7TODAY Monsters coming at you HREE-D monsters are on the rampage again.

A switch- board operator for the station which offered the show told reporters that "one man was screaming at me into the phone about how he had spent $20 in gas driving all over town" looking for the glasses.

The letter assured the legislators that this "is not a sexist urge. Nope, our desire-specifically-is just to purge our idiom of abominations such as 'chairperson.' We still believe the salutation 'Madam Chairman' has a nice, mellow, traditional ring to it." Cough.
