Vice President for Academic Affairs Bill Frye originally hoped to have a final recommendation on the school's fate ready for next week's Regents meeting. But Frye announced yesterday that he will instead inform the board that he has ordered a six-member "transition team" of Natural Resources faculty members to evaluate three levels of proposed cuts before he makes a final Resources 1eprieve recommendation. The team is expected- to complete their evaluation this sum- mer. IN A statement released yesterday, Frye said he accepted the general thrust of an earlier budget committee's report which recommended a 33 per- cent cut, but said such a loss might be more than the school can withstand. "We recognize that considerable time and careful planning will be required to develop more specific alternative recommendations and to implement them constructively," he said. The decision not to accept BPC's recommendation outright came after a public hearing in January, said Vice President for State Relations Richard Kennedy. "We tend on all of these reviews to wait until everybody has had their say," Kennedy said. "We then put those pieces together. (The recommen- ded cut) got a good, healthy discussion on the part of the officers." AS A RESULT of meetings with both the executive officers and school of- ficials, Frye decided to continue the review process by forming the tran- sition team, to be led by newly- appointed Natural Resources Dean James Crowfoot, The team's six members will be Natural Resources faculty members,, Frye said, but alumni and students will See NAT., Page 5 Student aid link to draft sparks bills in Congress,- See CAGERS , Page 13 ter AP Photo He Illini guard Bruce Douglas (25) reaches up to intercept a pass from Michigan's Paul Jokisch last night at Assembly Hall in Champaign.

See EMU, Page 2 By BARBARA MISLE A bill to deny all student financial aid to universities that provide money for draft registration resisters probably will be introduced in Congress soon, of- ficials in Washington said yesterday. A spokesman for Rep. Gerald Solomon (R-NY) said "there's a 95 percent chance" that the congressman, who sponsored the original legislation linking financial aid to registration, will submit the bill. Congress already has passed a law to take effect this summer that requires all males who apply for federal financial aid to submit proof that they have registered with the Selective Service.

We get so much money from the federal government that we would hate to see it put in jeopardy by an action that is rash.' -- Robert Holmes, assistant vice president for academic affairs education officials across the country, are upset with the legislation. But University administrators are hesitant to take a stand on the issue. They fear any immediate action in protest of the law will endanger the University's sup- ply of federal funds. Solomon also is planning to ask that the registration requirement be exten- ded to men seeking welfare, food stam- ps, and federal job training programs, said Gary Holmes, a spokesman for the congressman.

The new national paper, USA Today, will be stepping into the middle of a raging Detroit circulation war. The national weekday paper owned by Gannett, Inc. is making Detroit its twelfth major market and, to the chagrin of editors of Detroit's established dailies, is hoping to attract regular readers of its own. "IF PEOPLE buy 100 USA Todays and 100 fewer Free Press, then USA Today has an effect on us. That's 100 too many," said Free Press senior managing editor Neal Shine. USA Today makes extensive use of color photographs, weather charts and graphics. Publicists tout it as having "the largest, most comprehensive spor- ts coverage: of any newspaper in America." While editors of The Detroit News have done little to combat any com- petition from the new paper, the Free Press has begun using more color and is adding more graphics and television coverage.

The man, whom Fort Collins, Colo., police declined to identify, had not noticed that the withdrawal slip he used at United Bank had a robbery message written on the back, said Detective Frank Russell. The message said, "I want $10,000 in small bills. I am armed." When the teller saw the note, she pushed the robbery alarm button and then began handing the confused customer the money from her cash drawer, Russell said. The man replied, "What are you giving me all this money for? I only want $200." By that time police had conservative Mayor Jacques Medecin has rankled feminists and socialist mayoral Max Gallo. The caption refers to the 21 months of government since President Francois Mitterand, a socialist, took office. The poster parade began with a bikini-clad woman promising she would "take off the top" on a certain date. After she shed her top, she promised she would "take off the bottom" later. Gallo said it was really Medecin and his supporters "who have 'taken off the top and the bottom.'
