Prof calls budget commttee "tool' of administration, Creative excellence is an American tradition. FOLET* M ICH IGAN BOOK STORE 3 22 SO U TH ST A TE ST RE E T IN BRIEF By LISA CRUMRINE Chemistry Department Chairman Thomas Dunn yesterday said the University's top budget committee is no more than "a tool of the ad- ministration." The remark came at a discussion on the University's review process by University professors, sponsored by the American Association of University Professors. DUNN, WHO chaired the Budget Priorities Committee (BPC) when it was formed 12 years ago, said "Our colleagues on the present BPC perhaps I, k a y K OK are not aware of the original charge to the BPC. There has been a slippage in the original role." "They're not there to make pronoun- cements," he said, "but rather to put pressuring advice about the budget to the administration. The Committee now is snowed under with detail, and it has become a tool of the ad- ministration." Dunn said faculty can blame "no one but themselves" for the BPC's in- creasing ties to the administration. DISCUSSION centered on criticism of the current reviews of the Schools of Art, Education, and Natural Resour- ces. The BPC has recommended major cuts to all three schools. '(The review) is a painful process," said Natural Resources Dean James Crowfoot, "and there's a substantial risk that those of us in the University are captives of the unfolding process.'' Crowfoot joined about 35 other professors who said they were confused about the review process and thought it was having a divisive effect on faculty. " IN A SENSE, we're placing colleagues against colleagues," said School of Education Prof. Murray Jackson, "and perhaps this is unfair to them." The danger of (faculty) viewing one another as enemies - with unit Y taking money from unit X - is very dangerous for the atmosphere of the community." "It really affects us all," Jackson said. "If anybody doesn't understand this, they need a guardian." ART SCHOOL Prof. William Carter said he was concerned about the process used to choose schools for review. "Why were we targeted for review in the first place? Vice President Frye met with us, and his response was 'Why not art?"' Carter said. He said Frye justified the review by citing questions which had never been asked about the quality of the art school. "The whole process began with an aiutocratic decision, and will end with an autocratic decision. We feel helpless now, having been recommended for a 25 percent cut, wondering what the process for appeal would be," Carter said. "We're hoping for a face-down negotiation, just like the School of Natural Resources had." Med school Prof. Ronald Bishop, chairman of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, defended the review process, saying "the executive officeres are quite aware of the devastating effecttthis is having. They are open to suggestions. I think, however, they'd like suggestions on how the process could be done dif- ferently." But Education Prof. Loren Barritt disagreed with Bishop. "There's no dearth of suggestions," Barritt said. "We just have administrators who are damn gonna go through with the process. I just really doubt they'd back off on what has already been decided." WESTERN BOOTS 25% to 75% off U of M Track and Tennis Building March 1th and 20th Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Senate passes jobs bill, delays vote on tax withholding repeal WASHINGTON - The Senate voted 82-16 yesterday to approve a $5.1 billion jobs and recession-relief bill, sending it to conference with the House where negotiators will be under pressure to lower the price tag. The Senate delayed a vote on a controversial proposal to repeal the 10 per- cent tax withholding on dividends and interest scheduled to take effect July 1. Maneuvering on that proposal had held up action on the jobs bill for a week. Senate leaders gave those seeking the withholding repeal a chance to put their amendment on another bill and promised full Senate debate on the tax measure beginning April 15. Reagan administration officials said that more than half the states would run out of money to pay unemployment benefits by this weekend unless agreement on the jobs legislation could be reached by then. "We can't play with the fate of people who are expecting and entitled to unemployment checks," House leader Howard Baker told the Senate. State GOP wants low tax hike LANSING - Senate Republicans unveiled yesterday a tax increase alter- native 43 percent smaller and of a far shorter duration than one backed by Gov. James Blanchard. The GOP proposal calls for boosting the 4.6 percent income tax to 5.6 per- cent for nine months and includes business tax cuts for 1984. It was im- mediately blasted by Senate Democrat Leader William Faust of Westland as "putting a baby's finger in the hole in the dike." Faust said Democrats probably will back a plan which includes asking voters to approve a sales tax increase that would be used to roll back any in- come tax hike. The Democratic leader ordered the Senate Finance Committee to com- plete a bill by Monday night and scheduled extensive Sentate debate for next week. A vote may come Wednesday. Blanchard said he is pleased with the pending Senate action and appeared confident the plan he supports will be supported. House budget committee slashes military spending proposal WASHINGTON - The Democratic-led House Budget Committee slashed President Reagan's proposed 1984 military spending yesterday and added billions for several domestic programs, including a federal pay raise. The committee voted to slice Reagan's proposed 10 percent real increase - adjusted for inflation - in military spending to 4 percent. Chairman James Jones (D-Okla.) said he believes "much of Congress is coalescing around a level of 3 to 6 percent growth for the military." It was the first time during the Reagan administration that House Democrats have so quickly and easily pushed their own budget proposal through committee. Overall, the panel set spending for fiscal 1984 at $863.5 billion and included $30 billion more in tax revenues than Reagan recommended. Dioxin linked to birth defects WASHINGTON - A study of 40,000 Vietnamese families suggests for the first time that men exposed to dioxin -- a chemical in Agent Orange - have an abnormally high number of birth defects among their children. The Vietnamese research - revealed to 120 scientists at a conference in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) - contradicts American investigations on the same subject and lends support to the claims and fears of many U.S. veterans. No American research has linked dioxin to birth defects in humans. The new study, undertaken by the government of Vietnam, concluded that women whose husbands stayed in the North during the war ran significantly less risk of having, miscarriages, stillbirths and children with abnormalities than women whose husbands may have been exposed to Agent Orange in the South, the only place where it was sprayed. Not only were 2.5 million American servicemen potentially exposed to dioxin in South Vietnam, but the chemical has been found in Times Beach and other places in Missouri. The U.S. government has bought out the town of Times Beach, while health officials have just begun to study the potential adverse health effects - including birth defects - upon 2,400 residents ex- posed for up to 11 years. Kremlin threatens deployment of missiles near U.S. borders MOSCOW - A senior Soviet official said yesterday that the Kremlin would have to deploy missiles "near American borders" to gain equality if NATO goes ahead with plans to place medium-range nuclear rockets in Western Europe. Today's edition of the newspaper Pravda added that "a timely and effec- tive answer will be given to the growth of the threat to the security of the USSR and its allies, which the new American missiles in Western Europe would constitute." In yesterday's edition of the Communist Party paper, Georgi Arbatov, director of the USA and Canada Institute of the Soviet Academy of Science, wrote: "As far as equality is concerned, in that case for the sake of this equality we would have not ony to add to our missiles in Europe, but also deploy them near American borders." Arbatov, considered a Kremlin spokesman, did not specify where. I 0 4 199 CLASSROOMS MOUNTAINVIEWUIN All our windows open to a great climate for learning: summer school in the Colorado Rockies.
