The Michigan Daily-Thursday, October 14, 1982-Page 7 Art school bravely battles budget review (Continued from Page 1) cinemagraphy instruction. LARKIN, however, said he does not believe the school was at a severe disadvantage. "We'll work within the boundaries that we have and do a damn good job of it," he said. Until 1974, the art school was part of a School of Architecture and Design, which no longer exists. But budget shortages or no, the idea of combining the entire school with another college or reassigning its design departments to other University schools doesn't sit well with members of its community. "It would diminish the quality of what we do and what is done in ar- chitecture," Bayliss said. "It would take us back to where we were eight years ago. "The advantage of being in one school and being able to 'cross the bor- ders' would be lost," he said. STUDENTS IN the school only major in art, Bayliss explained. "We don't have departments because we want to encourage cross-fertilization. If design It would be devastating if they cut even 10 percent ... It would be a pretty sneaky way of getting rid of the art school.' -Andy Keenan, art school MSA representative departments were realigned it would be harder for painting students to get into design classes, and for design students to take printmaking." Bayliss argued that eliminating the school's graduate program would not be an effective cost-cutting measure either. There is virtually no additional cost in operating the graduate program, he said. In fact, he argued, it would mean less money coming into the school through tuition. The review committee has been in close contact with Bayliss and the school's governing board, soliciting in- formation from members of Ann Ar- bor's art community, and bringing "experts" in to tour the school. Review committee chairman John D'Arms said all those who have been contacted about the review have been enthusiastic about contributing. "I can't say how many (letters) there's been, but there's been great response," he said. D'Arms said he expects the review to be completed by the end of Fall Term. "We're very much aware the longer we take, the more awkward it is for everyone involved," he said. But D'Arms added the committee does not want to sacrifice quality for time. And art school students plan to use that time to its fullest. "MY ADVICE to them has been not to go beating up on people and creating a big ruckus," Bayliss said. He has, however, urged students to write letters to the review committee and to contact anyone else they feel would be influen- tial. If they don't, Bayliss said, "it might, in fact, be interpreted as indif- ference." Part of the students' effort, in ad- dition to an MSA-sponsored petition drive protesting the reviews of their school as well as the schools of natural resources and education, will be an awareness campaign. "We just want to let the whole University know what Frye and the University (administration) are trying to do," Keenan said. "A lot of people just don't know. "It would be devastating if they cut even 10 percent. I can't see any room for that much of a cut," he argued. "It would be a pretty sneaky way of getting rid of the art school." There will be a review hearing for the school today from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at Rackham Amphitheater.

U develops diesel fuel replacement from garbage (Continued from Page 1) associate dean for research at the school. NIEDERHUBER speculated that politics and emotion are contributing to medical research growth, while most other areas remain constant or are declining. "There's a fair amount of political pressure in the area of biomedical research. They're (medical research projects) emotional kinds of things that touch everyone very acutely." Various health agencies and foun- dations helped pick up the slack from declining federal support to the Univer- sity with a 64 percent increase over last year.4 "We've spent quite a bit of time cultivating that," said Juster. However, the increase in grants from such organizations as the Rockefeller, Ford, and Sloan Foundations has not been enough to make up for federal cuts, he said. Federal support makes up 69 percent of the University's research money. Defense research climbed 14 percent to $5.2 million, about four percent of total research at the University. -- (Continued from Page 1) first time the two have been suc- cessfully mixed, he said. Hilliard's process also allows resear= chers to tailor the synthetic fuel to a standard diesel engine instead of requiring a new engine design to ac- commodate a new fuel. "I'M VERY excited about it," said Dan Cleary, one of the students who worked on the fuel. "I think that it is just a matter of time before the fuel will be used." Hilliard said the new fuel, which took six months to develop, is superior to oil- based diesel fuel.."While vehicles using conventional diesel fuel emit a cloud of black smoke, our fuel eliminates the smoke and has a rather pleasant odor that resembles cooking popcorn," he said. "Nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by about one-half and the engine operates more quietly and ef- ficiently," said Hilliard, who moved here from his native England in 1980 because of greater opportunities in the United States for automotive research. MICHIGAN'S farmers will probably be the first to benefit from Hilliard work, he said. The Michigan Depar- tment of Agriculture sponsored the project because of the potential for cheap farm fuel. "Farmers are the logical place to start," Hilliard said, "because they already have the materials, the need, and the disposition to try something new. In this state, agriculture is the number one user of diesel fuel." Jeff Alson, spokesman for the En- vironmental Protection Agency's Ann Arbor emissions laboratory, said he was aware, of Hilliard's fuel only through .press clippings. The EPA currently is developing its own syn- I thetic fuel, and has no plans to test Hilliard's development, Alson said. "WE ARE NOT surprised that a car can run on such a fuel," Alson said. Price and performance are factors that will determine the new fuel's feasibility, he said. -Because production of the fuel is highly labor-intensive, Hilliard said, the price is about $5 per gallon. "To produce petroleum diesel fuel in a similar way would cost about $20 per gallon," he said, so the price of the new fuel would drop dramatically if it were mass-produced. Under a grant from the Michigan Department of Transportation, the fuel will soon be tested in diesel buses run- ning from Ann Arbor to La'nsing. If the experiment is successful, the fuel later will be used in Detroit's public transit buses. bHilliard said his current project is to develop a fuel that can be used in stan- dard gasoline engines.
