Gov. James Blanchard brought en-
couraging news for education last night
as he called for spending increases in
education, including more financial aid
funding, a $25 million higher education
research fund, and a capital investment
program to build 12 new buildings at the
state's colleges.
In his third State of the State address
to the state legislature, Blanchard
called for a zero-increase budget, "with
the exception of increased investment
in education."
ALTHOUGH details of these in-
creases will not be released until the
governor formally submits his budget
recommendations to the state
legislature next week, aides say Blan-
chard will seek an increase of over $300
million in funding for education, in-
cluding an 11 percent increase in higher
education and a 9.2 percent increase
per student to local school districts.
Blanchard called for hikes in scholar-
ship monies and financial aid as well as
the establishment of a "research ex-
cellence fund" for the state's three big
research institutions.
"We will extend our search for ex-
cellence through Michigan's public
universities through a $25 million
higher education research and
development effort," he said.
BLANCHARD declined to give more

details about his plans for higher
education, but University officials last
night were encouraged just the same.
"The optimism of the speech, clearly
indicates that there will be increases in
higher education," said Richard Ken-
nedy, vice president for state relations.
He added, however, that appropriations
for education are always the most con-
troversial among legislators.
University President Harold Shapiro
said Blanchard's address was a "good
speech. It reflects the governor's con-
tinued interest in education."
SHAPIRO said he was "looking for-
ward to more details" when the specific
budget recommendations _are made
public next week.
Blanchard's recommendation for a
capital investment program could
translate into money for the renovation
of several buildings on campus, Ken-
nedy said.
The E.H. Krauss biological sciences
building, a chemical sciences building,
engineering facilties on North Campus,
and the University Replacement
Hospital are likely recipients of state
money, he pointed out.
"These were all high priorities in our
requests to the state legislature," he
said.
Blanchard's upbeat address touted
the "Michigan is Back" theme. He
called for six new prisons and prison
reform, public programs to create 8,000
jobs, and tightening the state's tax laws
to "make our tax system more fair."

... delivers address

The governor also promised that any
budget surplus would be returned to
tax-payers through a property tax
relief proposal.

WHYT
announcer
protests
'suspension

By BILL HAHN
WHYT disc jockey J.J. Walker an-
nounced yesterday that he had
barricaded himself into the station's
broadcasting booth and vowed not to
leave until the station's management
reinstated morning announcer Bobby
Mitchel, who was "indefinitely suspen-
ded."
"I'll open the door as soon as I see
that Bobby is reinstated,"said Walker
on the air last night.
MITCHEL was suspended around 9
a.m. yesterday because of what WHYT
management called "the offensive con-
tent of his morning show."
According to reports, Mitchel had
discussed the case of King Boots, the
sheep-dog authorities believe killed its

owner's mother. A judge in Bir-
mingham, Mich., ruled Tuesday the
dog must be defanged, castrated, and
restricted to its owners property or
King Boots would have to be destroyed.
No comment from WHYT
management on the content of Mit-
chel's statement was available last
night.
"I DIDN'T think the show was offen-
sive," said Walker, "it was funny."
Walker said WHYT's managers were
not giving the announcers freedom to
make the radio station unique. "Either
we do the radio station we intended to
or .. ." Walker said starting to play a
record in the middle of his sentence.
Listeners in the Detroit area flooded
WHYT with phone calls and requested

lines voicing their support for Walker.
"Thousands of people have called in
demanding Mitchell's reinstatement,"
Walker said, "but until he is - I'm
staying on the air."
During Walker's broadcast last night,
a message came over the air from
WHYT management apologizing for the
"offensive" content of Mitchel's mor-
ning show. "I don't see what they're
apologizing for when thepeople have
nothing to apologize about," said
Walker.
Walker said that he had talked to
management earlier last night buy they
"got a little ticked" about his request.
"I think they've over reacted," Walker
said, "but occasionally you have to take
a stand."

Risks in Lorch Hall
push employees out

By JODY BECKER
Noise and asbestos dust has caused at
least one University employee to move
out of her office in Lorch Hall. The
building is undergoing extensive
renovation, and asbestos was recently
removed from piping and insulation.
"It's very stressful to be in the
building where there's so much noise
and dust and asbestos," said Marcia
Hall, a graduate student in sociology
who has relocated her project in
another building.

"I'D SAY there's a lot of anger and
resentment about the fact that this was
going on (the removal of asbestos). We
are being dumped on. I'm not sure who
should have been protecting us from
asbestos exposure, I'll just say 'the
University' in quotes." One other em-
ployee, who could not reached for
comment, has moved out of the
building.
Adrienne Garcia, a secretary in Lor-
ch Hall, said she looked into getting a
leave of absence, but has decided
