A W Vol. XCII, No. 148 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Wednesday, April 7, 1982 Ten Cents Eight Pages Milliken to reduce cuts aimed at 'U' By JANET RAE A revised executive order from Gov. William Milliken to be announced tioday will reduce the amount of state appropriations to be withheld from the University, state officials confirmed yesterday. Exact figures for the revised order were not available yesterday. However, one official indicated a possible reduction range of one-quarter to one-half of the $136 million originally scheduled to be withheld from the state's universities and colleges. A BUDGET balancing plan proposed by Milliken last month called for any withheld funds to be repaid in addition to next year's appropriations. The University is scheduled to receive a 14 percent boost in funding on top of that repayment plan. An executive order spending cut must be approved by both the House Taxation Committee and Senate Finan- ce Committe before going into effect. Last month's order was tabled by the Senate three weeks ago. University officials were not aware of the plans to revise last month's proposal. Vice President for State Relations Richard Kennedy could not be reached in Lansing for comment. DAVID MURPHY, university and college analyst for the Senate Fiscal Agency, comfirmed that a reduction in th executive order is being planned. He said no details had been sent to his of- fice as of closing time yesterday. "They're keeping a real tight wrap on this apparently," Murphy said. "I don't know what number they're floating around overbthere (the State Capitol)." Rep. Perry Bullard ,(D-Ann Arbor) said he was not aware of any particular announcement scheduled for today but said a revised order "may be announ- ced as part of a bargaining situation." Thatcher defies foes, amnea will not step down LONDON (UPI) - A defiant Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher'refused to resign yesterday, fighting off an uproar in Parliament over disclosures her government knew 10 days in advance' that Argentina was going to invade the Falkland Islands. "No. Now is the time for strength and resolution," Thatcher told Parliament, shouting to make herself heard over opposition cries for her resignation. THATCHER, her government already rocked by the resignations Monday -of Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington and two deputy ministers, denied charges by two London newspapers that Britain had advance knowledge of the Argentine invasion in the South Atlantic. The prime minister also announced an embargo on all Argentine goods as of See THATCHER, Page 2 Exercise your right Manning the election table for Michigan Student Assembly yesterday, Wendy Nelson, an LSA cerned student casts her ballot.

From AP and UPI The joys of spring were con- spicuously absent in Michigan yester- day. A spring storm that howled out of the West buried about two-thirds of the Lower Peninsula under four to 13 inches of snow. Wind gusts up to 40 mph piled up hug& drifts and cut driving visibility to zero at times. THE BLIZZARD, which swept from Ohio through New England, brought travel to a virtual standstill in cities such as Boston and New York, where a snowstorm of such ferocity had never hit this time of year. The National Weather Service war- ned that another storm of similar proportions could be heading toward Michigan. Forecasters said it could hit the Midwest tonight and tomorrow if it follows its present track in the Rockies. The National Weather Service said New York City had 10-inch snowfalls in April 1915 and 1975, but neither qualified as a blizzard. The snowstorm was blamed for the crash of a light plane in Russell, Pa., that killed two people. Five had died as the storm passed through the Midwesy the day before, dumping snow a foot deep in many cities. CRISPIN.G according to Associate Registrar for Personnal and Operations Douglas Woolley. When administrators at the University introduced a new registration system seven years ago, they were hoping to "make registration as comfortable as possible," Woolley said. The new system would allow instantaneous registration, as well as course additions and drops because it is "on-line" all the time to the main com- puter. SINCE ITS implementation, CRISP (Computer Registration Involving Student Participation") has eliminated much of the chaos, shortened the lines, and furthered Woolley's goal of making registration as comfortable as possible. And very quickly, CRISP has become very popular with administrators at other schools who are looking to improve their own registration systems.I The University of Iowa, Purdue University and Ball State University, to name a few, have already put in place systems very similar to CRISP. The University of Minnesota and Northwestern Univer- sity are also on their way to doing the same. "WE LOOKED at the (University's) system and decided to put it in," said University of Iowa Registrar Al Cox. Iowa did, however, change the way students go through the terminal center. Instead of going to specialized terminal operators as University {students do, Iowa students have academic advisors enter the course information into the system. "We feel we get better academic coun- seling that way,'.' Cox said. INDIANA IS in the midst of changing their registration system, although they are not going to a system like the University's, according to Indiana University Associate Registrar Roland Cote. Although they will use an on-line system, Indiana will use computer scan cards and updated equipment to handle those cards as opposed to using computer terminals like the University uses, Cote said. This will replace the "bear of a registration in place since 1947" at Indiana, he said. "We use a See CRISP, Page 2 The cards acquired from the department would be the student's reservation for a particular course, and when the cards ran out at the table, the course was closed. There was no seniority system, no alphabetical rotation scheme, and a lot of chaos. "STUDENTS USED to camp out in front of Water- man at about 6 a.m. every morning" of registration, Riegle urges students to fight aid cuts By BILL SPINDLE Students should "mobilize" in a fight against the Reagan Administration's proposed financial aid budget cuts, Senator Don Riegle (D-Mich.) said on campus yesterday. The connection between the proposed student loan cuts and the massive defense budget build-up has been largely ignored and students should become aware of the problem, Riegle told an informal gathering at Good Time Charley's Bar and Grill. THE REAGAN Administration has promised to cut jhe budget, but instead has merely transferred financial aid funds such as the Pell Grant and workstudy to the defense department, Riegle said.

Salvador guerrillas launch new attack SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (UPI)- Guerrillas launched a rocket and mor- tar barrage on the provincial capital of San Vicente yesterday in what leftists sources said was a drive to obscure the political defeat they suffered in the recent elections. The six-hour attack capped a 24-hour period in which rebels also raided another provincial capital, blew up a bridge, overran an army outpost and cut two key highways and phone lines to nine towns. LEFTIST sources in Mexico City said the attacks were part of a drive to mask the success of the March 28 con- stitutional assembly elections that drew 1.2 million voters despite guerrilla threats to kill those who cast ballots. "The guerrillas know the elections are being regarded as a success, so they are trying to replace it in the front pages with news of their attacks," said one source with close ties to the guerrilla movement. The rebel Radio Venceremos denied any rebel responsibility for the Monday slaying of David Quinteros, a deputy- elect from the far rightist Nationalist Republican Alliance, and blamed it on "fighting within the right."

The Joseph Howard family of Min- eapolis caught the latest in un-fashion in Mon- tgomery Ward's spring and summer book which reveals allj of Playboy's March centerfold playmate, Karen Witter, tucked snugly between pages 80 and 81. "There she was, starkhuff." said Kathv Howard "Just as she was born." stretch denim jeans. The Howards have a son, Mark, 16, who missed the centerfold when he first went through the catalog. However, son Edmund, a student at the University of Minnesota, found the fold-out page. Mrs. Howard said, "It's funny-looking because you open it and the last thing you expect to see is a naked lady." Ward's representatives went to the people's homes in the Twin Cities and offered to make the exchange. One family accepted and the other decided to keep the catalog, Thorne said. El Ma Bell strikes again the bill which Illyn said looked faintly familiar was the sales tax-$25.97-which was a lot closer to his usual mon- thly bill. The phone company, however, told Illyn not to worry. He was one of 73 Washington state residents who were the victims of a phone company computer foul-up. The manager of the phone company's Yakima office said the computer that records the calls and handles the billing went on the blink one day and did not register that the calls made that day had ended until the computer was fixed, several days later.
