Students protest lack of cable TV By PINA SBROCCA Several West Quad residents, unhap- ,y that their dormitory is one of the few which still does not have cable , television, last week sent a notice irging other residents of the dorm to let 4heir discontent be heard. Bob Jacobs, a resident of West Quad's Williams House, headed the ive urging students to complain to the Ouilding's maintenance manager, 4ohn Schaffer, abut the delay in cable hook-up. "EVERYBODY else has it, we should too," Jacobs said. "The installation of cable television in the dorms is a University service that comes out of a student's room and board (fees). We thought it was unfair that all students pay for it and some of us can't use it," he said. But according to Alan Levy, the dorm's building director, the students chose the wrong target. Schaffer isn't responsible for the delay, Levy said. The problem is that "the job at West Quad just turned out to be a little more technically cumbersome than the others," he said. The University and Ann Arbor Cablevision have been working together for more than a year to bring cable -TV to all of the dorms. In- stallation was supposed to be finished by last September, according to Levy, but some dorms didn't receive the ser- vice until the end of Fall term. West Quad, Betsy Barbour, Helen Newberry, and the North Campus dorms still are not hooked up. "I CAN understand students being upset. They've been paying for it since last year',' said Ruth Addis, Stockwell's building director. All central campus dorms have been wired she said, but failure to get the conversion boxes from the cable company has caused the delay. "I understand their concern, but the problem is that I still don't know how many boxes are needed," maintenance manager Schaffer said yesterday. He said he had received about a dozen complaints from students who were urged to call him. -- H~APPENING HIGHLIGHT The American Society for Public Administration, Huron Valley Chapter, presents an evening with local government administrators.

Bryant Clinic closes: victim of federal cuts By KRISTIN STAPLETON One of Ann Arbor's four low-income medical clinics has been forced to shut its doors by a lack of funds, according to clinic officials. The Bryant Com- munity Clinic will close tomorrow, af- ter providing five years of health care service to Ann Arbor's low-income families. "We're another victim of Reaganomics, so to speak," said Dr. Michael Coffman, director of the clinic. Coffman said shrinking funds from federal development programs has hurt the clinic's budget. THE 'CLINIC has been operating in the Ann Arbor area since 1977 but only recently moved to its location behind the Georgetown Mall on Packard Raod. Coffman said the move may have hurt the clinic. "It had been a neigh- borhood clinic. When it moved, it lost a lot of those patients," he said. Poor economic condidtions in general didn't help, he said. The patient load had dropped because more people wait until they are very ill before seeking medical assistance," Coffman ex- plained. Even a last-ditch effort last week City Council - allocation of $8,00 to let the board of directors complete its fun- draising efforts - was not enough to save the clinic. "THE CRUX of the issue is that we have exhausted all our long-term fun- ding possibilities," Coffman said. "There's hardly a trick in the book we didn't try." Claire Noland, a member of the clinic's medical staff, said the clinic did not have enough time to improve its budget. She pointed out that increased publicity had drawn more patients. "We are doing better patient-wise, and that means more money," Noland said. "I do feel if we had six more weeks, we Mould have kept going indefinitely," she said. PATIENTS who have been visiting the Bryant clinic can still find low- income medical care in Ann Arbor, ac- cording to Coffman. "There are, for- tunately, alternatives for those people,' Three clinics remain open in the area. - "Patients will have a place to go," Coffman said. "Although they may not find the continuity of care that they found here. It looks at this point that the other clinics will survive.", But Bryant's fate is irreversible, he said. "Short of someone coming out of the blue and saying 'Here's $50,000,' we're going to close." Daily Photo by DOUG McMAHON' WENDY RAMPSON, PIRGIM's new campus coordinator, expresses con- cern yesterday about a lack of funds and student interest. PIRGIM hurt by cutbacks, says group's new director (Continued from Page 1) terned with Common Cause-another public interest group-last summer. Rampson said she plans to put a great deal of effort into getting more students involved with PIRGIM. "They (studen- ts) know what PIRGIM is," she said, "but they're not really aware of what PIRGIM does-that PIRGIM is fighting against cuts in student aid." PIRGIM members will address freshperson orientation groups on a larger scale this summer, according to Rampson, to increase campus awareness. Also, PIRGIM will ask faculty members who have supported the group in the past if representatives can speak to their classes at the begin- ning of the fall terrh. Along with Rampson,,a new board of directors will take over at PIRGIM at the beginning of Spring Half-Term. At that time, the expanded 11-member board will review PIRGIMs task forces to see, Rempson said, "where our energy should be put." _i -_- Tiseb in independent race. for governor Medical School Applicants.

Tisch, who until last Monday's an- nouncement had been listed as a Democratic candidate for governor, said that running as an independent, he will have more time to promote two proposals which he hopes to get on the November ballot. THE SHIAWASSEE drain commissioner said he has been wasting time on the "political mish mash" part of the gubernatorial campaign, when he could be working on his "chief objective of getting the two proposals on the ballot." The first proposal would change Michigan's legislature from full-time to part-time. The second, informally dub- bed ',Tisch Three," would reduce state property taxes considerably. Fueled by Gov. William Milliken's recently proposed tax hikes, Tisch-with his standing reputation for pushing hard for tax cuts-was con- sidered one of the front runners in the Democratic race before his announ- cement Monday. One 1poll, conducted by Market Opinion Research of Detroit, showed Tisch with 24 percent.voter preference, only two percentage points behind leading Democratic candidate William Fitzgerald. Tisch said that if the Tisch Indepen- dent Citizen Party cannot collect the 19,000 signatures needed to qualify for the primary by the May 3 filing deadline, he will run in the Democratic primary.

The budget proposal also calls for the hospital to reduce its overall payroll costs by 3 percent, through attrition and greater restrictions on overtime and sick leave expenses. Near the beginning of their meeting, the Regents will be briefed on the results of a poll bythe Committeeon the Economic Status'of the Faculty. The poll indicated that the University's faculty rejected the idea of unionization, expressed dissatisfaction with last year's salary improvement program, and called for a greater voice in salary increase distributions. During tomorrow's session, the Regents will hear the results of a six- month audit of the University, and a report from Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye on the University's 1982-83 budget. * 21/2 hr.
