The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 23, 1982-Page 5 State Senate passes LANSING (UPI)- The Senate gave easy approval *esterday to slim the state welfare budget for the coming fiscal year, clearing the way for final ap- proval of spending plans for other state programs and agencies. The Senate voted 29-5 on the compromise budget and sent the measure for final House approval. THE WELFARE budget is even smaller than the current year's appropriation. It keeps grants to families and individuals at current levels, could mean the layoff of 211 Department of Social Services central office staff and permits no spending for elec- ve welfare abortions. Contained in the state's largest budget bill is $1.68 billion in state funds, for a $3.36 billion budget when federal funds are included. During the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, the state spent $1.74 billion of its money on welfare for a total of $3.54 billion when federal funds were included. "This is a period of retrenchment," said Sen. Stephen Monsma (D-Grand Rapids), a member of the House-Senate conference committee on the bill. "Grants are not increased for another year . .. in spite of inflation that is eating away at spending power." THE HOUSE originally voted to cut welfare payments by $30 million. Sen. Alvin DeGrow (R-Pigeon) said the budget is relfare cut based on optimistic predictions and added, "we might have a $30 million to $40 million problem if everything doesn't go as it should." Gov.. William Milliken is expected to veto for a four- teenth time a provision in the bill which bans the use of welfare money for abortions except to save the life .of the mother. There was no debate on that provision. The welfare budget did not fall into place until an agreement reached with hospital and medical representatives decided on a six-member committee that would study the system of making Medicaid payments to hospitals. In the meantime, state cost reduction programs will continue. Israel denies part in refugee massacre ANN ARBOR CIVIC THEATER MAIN ST.

(Continued from Page 1) U. S. MARINES and French paratroopers were sailing back to west Beirut to try to prevent new bloodshed in the Lebanese capital. Crews bulldozing through the ruins of the Sabra and Chatilla Palestinian refugee camps in west Beirut recovered more bodies yesterday, bringing to 293 the total confirmed killed in last week's slaughter of civilians by Lebanese Chrisitna militamen. Some 1,800 Marines set out from Naples, Italy, yesterday, bound for Lebanon aboard the U.S. helicopter carrier Guam. About 1,200 of the Marines, scheduled to arrive off the Beirut coast Saturday, will join 950 French troops and 1,000 Italian infantrymen in a multinational force similar to the one that supervised the withdrawal of PLO guerrillas from Beirut in August. The reconstituted force was requested by the Lebanese government to guard against repetitions of the camp massacres and support the government of newly elected President Amin Gemayel as it tries to assert its authority over the capital and even- tually the country. The Reagan administration has demanded that Israeli forces withdraw from Beirut. The Lebanese state radio said the Israelis were pulling out gradually under a plan that would have them out of west Beirut by Sunday. President Reagan's special envoy, Philip Habib, returned yesterday to Beirut, where he spent two months negotiating the PLO pullout. Lebanese government sources said the Marines would guard Beirut's air and sea ports, the Italians would be stationed at Palestinian refugee camps - although it was not clear whether this would include the Sabra and Chatilla camps - and the French would help the Lebanese army secure the rest of west Beirut. The first French paratroopers were expected to arrive by sea today, and the Italians on Friday. "They will be more welcome than the Lebanese army" said a Lebanese of- ficer who took over positions from the withdrawing Israeli troops. "Because it means America is here. And when America is here that means security is here."

Institute' sprofs charge 'U' review panel with bias British workers rally to support strikers (Continued from Page 1)' tee talked to, said Mary Ann Swain, the committee's chairperson. "THE INSTITUTE seemed to be a disintegrating shadow of an institute that existed before," said another committee member. The review committee, charged with reducing the institute's budget-all the While keeping in mind the possibility of complete elimination-advised that ISMRRD's child development division be kept, but moved to another school. Herbert Grossman, the institute's director, said moving the child W development program would be the "kiss of death" for the division. In ad- dition, he said the prospects of finding another school for the division were slim. The committee's recommendation for cutting the institute now goes before the University's executive officers. Frye said they would probably decide on the institute's fate within the month. After the administration's vote, the recommendation will go before the Regents, the University's governing board. There is little chance the Regen- ts will go against the executive officer's recommendation, and just as small a chance the executive officers will over- turn the committee's recommendation. LONDON (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of British workers, from coal miners to school aides, walked off the job yesterday and joined in mass rallies in support of striking health service employees. The one-day work stoppage, called by the 11-million-member Trades Union Congress in defiance of a 1980 law ban- ning sympathy strikes, threatened a confrontation with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Par- ty government. IN THE LARGEST rally of the "Day of Action," a festive throng estimated at 60,000 by police and 120,000 by union leaders marched through central Lon- don to Hyde Park. Union chiefs threatened one-day strikes until Thatcher agrees to higher pay for the 750,000 workers in, the state- run National Health Service, among the nation's lowest-paid workers.

'Wallace said the larger lecture elasses in the Medical School make her feel self-conscious about asking questions. But Rich Green, a fourth-year student, said the switch provides a riore interesting approach, because the laasses are taught by different lec- hirers every day instead of one for the entire term. - '"I THINK it was a really good idea, pretty much motivated by economic reasons, not to make it a better Grogram," Green said. "Basically, it costs more money to have separate (basic science) classes for us." Since it started in 1972, Inteflex has accepted 50 new students each year. According to Pat Bailey, the program's admissions secretary, about 500 people generally apply for those 50 spots. Competition obviously is stiff; Bailey said a 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) high school grade point average is required, and most students who are accepted are "generally in the area of a 3.9 average." By the end of their first year, they have already taken a Medical School course: Introduction to Patient Care. Most of their LSA courses are taken during the first three years, but acting co-director Nicholas Steneck said the classes can be fitted into the fourth or even the fifth year.
