Vol. XCIV - No.9 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily ; Ann Arbor, Michigan - Saturday, September 17, 1983 Fifteen Cents Eight Pages Education school cut by By SHARON SILBAR The University's Regents voted unanimously yesterday to cut the School of Educaiton budget by 40 per- cent, ending a 19 month review of the troubled school. At the same time, the Regents ap- proved Carl Berger as the man who will head the school as it begins its difficult five-year transition. Berger replaces Dean Joan Stark, whose five-year term ended yesterday. BILLY FRYE, vice president for academic affairs and provost, said the almost $2 million cut will not affect students in the school dramatically. Under the plan, the present 75 faculty members will be reduced to 45 by 1988 while enrollments will not intentionally be reduced. Frye said he expects the drop in enrollment that has been con- sistent for the school for many years to continue. The school's enrollment dropped to 1184 students last year, down from 2605 in 1972. Although education school class sizes will increase as the number of1 professors decrease, Frye said the new class size will be more consistent with1 other schools in the University. "The current student-teacher ratio is 8 to one, as compared to 12 or 15 to one in other schools," Frye said. Frye said the student-faculty ratio alone justified the 40 percent cut. Administrators hope to make the substantial reductions in staff through attrition rather than firings. "We're going to try awfully hard to do it through early retirement," said Berger, the new dean. TO MAKE retirement a feasible alternative for more professors and staff, the Regents also approved yesterday a new set of retirement guidelines, intended to allow University employees to retire at an earlier age than before. The new rules allow employees with 30 years of service to the University to 40 percent retire at age 50, down from the previous age 55 requirement. Before voting, Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) said that the measure is only a "temporary thing." The education school cuts did not need the Regents' formal approval, as University guidelines say that a Regen- ts' vote is needed only for proposals to eliminate entire University departmen- ts. But given the extraordinary nature of the cut, the executive officers asked for a Regents' vote of support. THE CHANGES generally call for a decrease in emphasis on training teachers and greater attention on research and scholarship. The actual implementation of the changes will be left to a transition team to be appointed by Frye, with the con- sent of Berger. "I've invited nominations and we now have a substantial list of names," Frye said.

By SHARON SILBAR After the University's Regents voted to slash the School of Education's budget by 40 percent at yesterday's meeting, they unanimously approved an 11 percent pay increase for President Harold Shapiro. This marks the largest pay increase for the president since his term began at the University in 1980, bringing his yearly wages from $86,877 to $96,500. Unlike any other item the Regents, brought up at the meeting, Shapiro's pay hike was not on the agenda and came as a surprise to everyone but the Regents and other top University of- ficials. The 11 percent pay hike far sur- passes the average 5 percent faculty pay raise announced earlier this year.

For Washington, quarterback Steve Pelleur is the key to a goody Husky season. "We can't be struggling if we hope to succeed," said Washington coach Don James. WELL, THE HUSKIES look reads for a successful season, as Pelleur did anything but struggle in Washington's 34-0 win over Northwestern last week. The 6-3 senior completed 21 of 32 passes for 211 yards, and added 44 yards rushing on just 7 carries. Unlike Washington, Michigan's quarterback situation is still a question mark. Will Steve Smith play or won't he? Nobody seems to know. Earlier in the week, Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said he planned to use Smith in today's game. Yesterday, however, Smith said his shoulder was still sore and he didn't know what would happen. His health could be the difference in the game, since Schembechler doesn't seem very confident with Smith's replacement, Dave Hall. The Michigan coach allowed Hall to throw only short dump passes against Washington State last week, and the Wolverines must establish a better passing game if they are to win today. WASHINGTON, THOUGH, also has a key player who will watch some of the game from the sidelines. Junior tailback Jacque Robinson, the Pac-Ten's leading rusher last year, isn't seeing much action because of a weight problem. "He came in probably 15 to 20 pounds over what we hoped he would," said James. "He did that last year and it hurt his straightaway speed." Starting in place of Robinson will be 5-10 senior Sterling See 'M', Page 8 Daily graphic by LARRY DONG Board urges 'U' to change policy ,on draft resisters By BARBARA MISLE The University's Civil Liberties Board voted yesterday to urge ad- ministrators to subsidize those students who lose their federal financial aid because they refuse to disclose their draft registration status. Board members said the University should take a stronger stand on a law, ordered into effect in July, which requires all students applying for federal aid - including women - to sign forms certifying their draft registration status. UNIVERSITY officials have refused to replace lost federal funds because they said it would divert money from students complying with the law and the school would appear to circumvent the law. But board members said students refusing to comply with the law because they feel their civil rights are being violated should not have their education interrupted. The board will also ask the faculty Senate Assembly and the Michigan Student. Assembly to back their proposals to administrators. CURRENTLY three University students - including one woman - face losing up to $6,500 each in federal aid because they have refused to sign forms certifying whether they are registered. Under the board's proposal, which passed by a 4-1 vote, the University should increase its efforts to find funds from outside sources to help students whose federal aid is cut, said Marty Gold, chairman of the board. "The consensus is to urge the Univer- sity to change its instructions to the financial aid office and try as best as it can to replace federal funds," said Gold, a University psychology professor. INDEPENDENT of the board, Gold has set up a fund to subsidize students whose federal aid is cut. Although none of the University students refusing to register have contacted him yet, he See 'U', Page 3 Lebanese warplanes shot down by Druse gunners BEIRUT, Lebanon - Druse gunners bloodied Lebanon's air force on its first combat mission in a decade yesterday, shooting down one of its five operational warplanes, damaging two others and forcing a fourth to make an emergency landing in Cyprus. As the fighting raged, both Syria and Israel put planes into the air - Syria on Lebanon's northern border and Israel over southern Lebanon. But neither engaged in battles which spilled over onto the U.S. marine compound at the airport and the zone around the U.S. and British embassies. SIX MORTAR shells fell in the U.S. Marine base at the airport, and Marines at one outpost came, under small-arms fire. Warrant Officer Charles Rowe, a Marine spokesman, said there were no casualties.

David Populer, Mark Isken, and Jaenne Hayes, all' engineering freshman, were winners of the University Cellar's free text book contest. "Oh my god, I'm so excited," enthused Hayes as she was handed a check for $145, a yellow Michigan t-shirt, a Random House Dic- tionary, and a Sharp calculator. Manager Bob Wienberg noted it was unusual to have all three winners at the same haven't been complete geeks about it. But, early this month a Northern Michigan University instructor was. According to university officials, Army Sgt. Maj. Jimmy Powell ap- parently decided the students in his military leadership class weren't giving him their undivided attention. So Powell, a former Green Beret, brought a live chicken to class; bit its head off, and drank its blood as shocked students watched. Powell was fired from the university the next day. "As I understand it, he got from his car or had somebody get from his car a live chicken," said Col.Donald ETaylor, head of the Military Science Department.
