As soon as the plastic heart started beating, giving Barney Clark the blood pressure of an 18-year-old, doctors began to see improvement in the patient's vital organs but were eautious about his chances of survival. * University of Utah officials said Clark remained in critical condition, but had opened his eyes and was nodding his head in response to questions - en- couraging news for the pioneering surgical team. =Clark opened his eyes hours after. part of his diseased heart was removed See PHYSICIANS, Page 2 I '-rJ expects large cutback in state aid One at a time Santa's lap is a bit crowded as (1-r) Ann Arborites Jeff Moore, Donald Arthur, Kelly Bish, Jamie Lewis, and Helmer Ada ms swarm on him at his stand in Briarwood Mall. By BILL SPINDLE The University may be hit with another large cutback in state aid this month, state and University officials said yesterday. Top state government officials, op- timistic about the state's economic rec- overy only two weeks ago, have an- nounced the state may need to trim well over $300 million from this year's spen- ding to keep its budget balanced, as required by state law. A BUDGET cutting order from the Governor, or a delay in payment of state aid to higher education is still in a "tentative" stage, but either could come quickly if the present ad- ministration decides to handle the problem, state officials said. State Representative Gary-Owen (D- Ypsilanti), a member of the house ap- propriations committee, said the only thing holding back a budget cutting or- der or deferral is deciding if Governor William Milliken or incoming Governor James Blanchard will deal with the problem. "There's anywhere from a $300 million to $400 million deficit right now," Owen said. "Its a matter of whether we deal with it in a lame duck session or in the next administration." University Vice President for State Relations Richard Kennedy said it was too early to tell how much higher education money the state would use to erase its red ink, but that it would probably be a substantial amount. "IT'S HARD TO get word of what part higher education will play (in budget cuts or deferrals)," he said. "I've got to believe we are going to the principle factor - as we always are."; The state could erase its deficit with either a straight budget cut or by deferring aid payments until next year, depending on if they feel the state's economy will pick up, Kennedy said. Both strategy's were used last year. Although University officials expec- ted some sort of budget cut this year, they may be caught off guard by the size of the cuts Lansing is considering, Kennedy said. "ITS FAIR TO say we are not without continuing plans for (budget cuts) . .{ (but) we have not thought in terms of the kind of numbers they have been talking about up there," he said. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Billy Frye said that any cuts implemen- ted will not effect the University's present budget but will be dealt with next year. Up until this week state officials had hoped to wait until a study of the state economy was released for December until they decided whether an aid cut was necessary, said state budget office spokesman Glenn Preston. But now Lansing officials seem to agree that something will have to be done. "The feeling was to wait for revenue figures in December up until a week ago," Preston said, "but now (Milliken See 'U', Page 5 U, goals discussed, debated Shapiro admits there are problems in review process By BILL SPINDLE The students and faculty gathered at 'Rackham Amphitheater yesterday took a small step toward helping the Univer- sity meet its goals and objectives in an open fashion. But for a forum intended to "broaden campus view and input" into the University's five year plan, the gathering was seriously hampered by poor attendance. About 50 professors and less than 25 students attended the panel discussion. THE FORUM, however, did in- troduce listeners to several new ideas which students suggested should be areas of high priority in the five year plan. It also exposed some of the rough edges in the process used to hunt for places to save money. In response to a faculty member's question about the ef- fects of a review on the morale of a *school, University President Harold Shapiro admitted there were problems. "I've had some thoughts about if this is the most effective means of going about it," he said of the reviews. "I did probably underestimate the strain of being under review . . . but as to whether this is the right method, that is an open questioa,"he said. SHAPRO sidhowever, that he supports the present plan because he has been unable to find another plan which could do the job better. In his short address to the crowd, Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye outlined the current priorities of the plan, including increased financial aid for graduate students, higher faculty salaries, and improved resear- ch programs. Several students offered him new areas for the plan's money to support.

Diag signs vandalized, stolen By JACKIE YOUNG Competitiveness is a fact of life at the University. And this "highly com- petitive atmosphere" may explain the recent outbreak of destruction of Diag boards and banners which advertise student groups on campus. Since the beginning of the year, an in- creasing number of students have com- plained that their organization's adver-, tisements have been stolen from the Diag, according to Elizabeth Mitchell- Yellin, staff supervisor of the Michigan Advertising Works, which registers and rents out all Diag boards and banners. 0 "THE. HIGHLY competitive at- mosphere" at the University may have something to do with the vandalism, she said. "Student organizations may be competing for the student audien- ce," she said. The Union of Students for Israel had a banner stolen from the Diag between 9 'It's really immature ...

Jaffe was equally disturbed. "No one has the right, but someone did it," she said. MARKUS SAID he was particularly upset because the artists had spent so much time on the banners, as well as about $100 on materials for the project. Dawn Szewc, student coordinator of MAW, said the organization can't be responsible for the vandalized signs. She added, "It's really immature. I don't know what you can do about it. These people (the vandals) must have nothing better to do." Mitchell-Yellin agreed. "People should be aware that they are hurting the student groups and the Michigan Advertising Workshop by their ac- tions," she said. "It becomes a har- dship on the groups plus a burden and inconvenience to MAW and there is nothing we can do about it." From Staff and Wire Reports EAST LANSING - Two Michigan State University researchers say they have evidence suggesting former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had infor- mation pointing to an attack on Pearl Harbor, but failed to pass it on. John Bratzel and Leslie Rout, who are writing a book about the influence of espionage in history, said Hoover's racism and an obsession with self- promotion may have stopped him from passing on the potentially vital infor- mation. The. researchers said two months before the sneak attack on Dec. 7, 1941, Hoover caught a German double agent with a small microdot which contained. among other things, a series of tac- tical questions about Pearl Harbor. Included were questions posed by the Germans' Japanese allies concerning Army bases and fields in Pearl Harbor as well as an order for sketches of the area. "Most of these things are not impor- tant," said retired University History Prof. John Bowditch, adding that Hoover simply may have doubted the validity of the information.'"There's this much you can say about intelligen- ce; you get alot of information, especially during a war, but do you believe it all?" ACCORDING to the researchers, Hoover valued the find enough to report it personally to FDR, although he failed to mention the Japanese interest in Pearl Harbor. "We do not believe in some great con- spiracy," said Rout, a history professor. "Hoover's main interest was scoring points for himself." The researchers believe Hoover neglected to inform Roosevelt about the Pearl Harbor questions because he was more concerned with impressing FDR with the microdot find. A MICRODOT is a message reduced hundreds of times and hidden on a spot of paper smaller than the dot of an "I." They referred to the incident as "a poverty of judgment on his part.' They also believe he might have had "the racist presumption" that the Japanese were incapable of bombing Pearl Harbor and therefore ignored the message. "HOOVER WAS certainly a racist bigot with unsightly sides to him, butlie ran a very efficient organization," Bowditch said. Bratzel agreed that Hoover was an effective administrator but said he ob- viously erred in his handling of the in- formation which he didn't pass on. "It is indeed curious it never saw the light of day," Bratzel said. a.m. and 10 a.m. on Nov. 29, not long af- ter they put it up, said Sarah Jaffe, a member of the group. The University Activities Center's banner advertising the Soph Show production of "Bye, Bye Birdie," which was put up Tuesday evening, was discovered missing Wednesday at about 9 a.m., along with two diag boar- ds announcing the production, accor- ding to the show's producer Rob Markus. MARKUS NOTED the Diag boards advertising UAC/Musket's production of "Runaways" were also stolen last month. Markus said he was "appalled" something like this could happen.
