He ad- ded a thinly disguised attack on Democrats. "Some in Washington still pine for the politics of the past; policies that didn't work and never will," he asserted. "We're living with the misery of their mistakes. The best view of big gover- nment is in a rear view mirror as we leave it behind." REAGAN ADDED "Yes, we are in a recession. Our administration is a cleanup crew for those who went on a non-stop binge and left the tab for us to pick up. The recession hurts, it causes pain. But we'll work our way out of it, and faster than expected." The president, who promised the recession would end "faster than ex- pected," sandwiched his economic remarks between calls for the private sector to voluntarily take over some of the social services long performed by the government. That, for Reagan, has been a longstanding theme, but it has yet to catch fire across the nation. Reagan made clear that he hopes the Action SportS War FACTORY CLOSEOUTS Swimwear, Footwear, Bodywear 406 E.-Liberty 2 blocks off State St. group he addressed, called the New York City Partnership, wil serve as a model of things to come. The coalition of civic and business leaders, headed by former Chase Manhattan Bank Chair- man David Rockefeller, is privately sponsoring nearly 14,000 jobs for disad- vantaged youth. REAGAN ENTERED the large ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel wearing a long black scarf with the words "I Love New York" embroidered in red. But deputy press secretary Larry Speaks told reporters in advance of the speech the president was not breaking Correction In a story in Wednesday's paper (Student panel proposes 10.25% dorm rate hike), the Daily incorrectly stated that last year's dorm rate hike was 11.2 percent. The rate hike for 1981-82 was actually 9.8 percent; for 1980-81, the rate hike was 11.2 percent. new ground with his prediction of a rapid end to the downturn. Speakes said the administration is sticking to its timetable of a recovery by late spring or early summer, and the comment might be interpreted to mean a swifter recovery "than some expec- ted."

One occurred in the photography lab, ,.which possibly caused $20,000 in damages, said Andrew Supers, in- surance risk analyst in the University's Insurance Office. "There was seven or eight feet of water in some of the darkrooms," said George Bayliss, dean of the School of Art. "Water was shooting out of the keyhole because of the pressure." THE OTHER leak in the Art and Ar- chitecture Building took place in bathrooms at the west end of the building. There were no damages, -however. $12 million national eye care center, which will be an educational, medical and surgical facility. An endowment of at least $500,000 from Edna and Norman Freehling of Chicago will enable the University to set up two new faculty chairs, the Regents learned yesterday. The new positions will go to junior faculty mem- ers in the humanities. In further action, the Regents for- mally severed a joint venture with Wayne State University involving the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations. The University will now organize an institute independent of Wayne State. WOMEN Be part of a New University tradition!

The University plans to install more insulation to prevent the problem from recurring, said Russell 'Reister, direc- tor of plant operations. THE LEAK at the Radrick Farms Golf Clubhouse caused approximately $2,000-$3,000 in damages, Supers said. No damage estimates were available for the leak at Simpson Memorial In- stitute. Measures are being taken with the aim of preventing new leaks, Reister said. Insulation will be added, and heat will be directed to areas in buildings where water pipes are near the exterior of the building. THE WAVE of pipe leaks is being blamed on the recent cold tem- peratures and high winds. "I don't remember anything as bad as this, and I don't remember weather this bad," Reister said. Leaks occur when pipes freeze, causing the water in them to expand, which ruptures the pipes. Water rushes out when the ice melts, according to Connie Adams, maintenance manager. A small crack leading to the outside can allow cold winds to enter, and cause a small section of pipe to freeze in an otherwise warm room, Adams said. "We're trying to make sure we look at these kinds of areas and seal them up." INCIDENTS of bursting pipes have occurred in the past, "largely when heat was turned down in buildings," said Ryan. About $12,000 worth of damage was caused last year in the Michigan League. Extensive damage to the photography lab occurred in 1979, Supers and Bayliss said. "It might not happen for another hundred years, or it may happen next week," Reister said. Pipes also ruptured this week at Michigan State University, where, ac- cording to MSU Plant Manager Howard Smith, damage in two buildings amoun- ted to $30,000.
