JOSTEN' S GOLD RING SALE Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Sunday, March 10, 1985 Federalspecto crack down on phone abuse WASHINGTON (UPI) - In- vestigators will monitor telephone bills from government offices in an effort to cut down on millions of dollars in unauthorized personal calls by federal workers, an official said yesterday. Critics, however, are concerned the program smacks of Big Brother gover- nment interfering with employees' privacy. Benjamin Friedman, acting deputy inspector general of the General Ser- vices Administration, which watches over the government's telephones, said the investigation will be aimed at cut- ting out expense, unauthorized personal calls, not in monitoring what employees are doing. The telephone audits will be looking for repeated long distance calls by em- ployees to friends and relatives, to resorts, and to "Dail-a-Porn," "Dial-a- Joke," and sports highlights numbers.

But until University officials know ap- proximately how much money the state will set aside for higher education, a final decision won't be made. FERRIS STATE based its early decision on a "best guess," according to college President William Wenrich. Wenrich said Gov. James Blan- chard's proposed increase in funding for education was enough to convince the college's board of control to hold tuition at this year's level. Ferris State students who are Michigan residents currently pay about $1,500 per year for tuition. Unlike the University of Michigan's in-state tuition freeze last year, Ferris State's 51YEARS MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE 549 E.

LAST YEAR, the regents froze tuition for Michigan undergraduates at $1,086 per term, while tuition for out-of-state students jumped 7 percent to $3,366. Increases in graduate tuition ranged from 7 to 9.7 percent. Wenrich acknowledged that Ferris State could face some tough times if the legislature doesn't come through with a healthy increase in education funding. However, he added, "That's a chance our board is willing to take in the in- terests of letting our students plan ahead." RICHARD Kennedy, the University's vice president for government relations, said he was surprised that Ferris State made its decision so soon. Kennedy agreed that the regents will probably wait until May or June to ap- prove tuition rates because the legislature usually doesn't formally adopt a budget until early July. One of the keys to holding down tuition is Blanchard's proposed $25 million research excellence fund, which would be distributed among the state's three large research institutions. If the University gets a substantial chunk of that fund, it would help reduce the need for a tuition increase, Kennedy said. It could have an impact on any decision we might make on tuition," he said. Political pressure could also play a role in the annual tuition decision. Last year, Blanchard called for all state colleges and universities to freeze tuition, and nearly all of them agreed to do so. Blanchard even tried to tie colleges and universities' appropriations to their tuition levels, but the legislature decided not to go along with the idea. Kennedy said he isn't- sure if the legislature and Blanchard will apply similar pressure this year. "They haven't started out that way, but again, it's very early in the process."

The estimates are so large that the report from the Office of Technology Assessment says the "Superfund" cleanup program in the Environmental Protection Agency should not even try to make permanent cleanups at about 90 percent of the sites on its priority list. Instead, said the technology report, for about the next 15 years the agency should concentrate on making sure those sites do not get worse while it builds technical expertise, explores new technologies and gathers environ- mental and health data. The EPA's most recent estimates call for about $11.7 billion in federal money to be spent eliminating up to 2,000 hazardous waste sites. But the' agency acknowledged the cost could reach $33.3 billion. The EPA said it "is confident its approach to identifying, assessing and cleaning up hazardous sites under Superfund is the correct one." Nicaragua accuses opposition of aiding U.S.-sponsored plot MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Ten Nicaraguan opposition and business leaders were summoned to state security headquarters yesterday to answer charges they were participating in a U.S.-sponsored plot to overthrow the Sandinista government. Among those summoned by the State Security Directorate were the editor of La Plensa newspaper, Jaime Coldenal, and Enrique Bolgnos, president of the Private Enterprise Council. Bolanos said the director-general of state security, Lenin Serna, accused the opposition and business leaders of participating in the U.S.-sponsored plot to overthrow the Nicaraguan government. All those summoned were among the signatories of a document by the op- position Nicaraguan Democratic Coordinating Council last year calling for a national dialogue that would include the U.S.-backed rebels fighting to over- throw the government. Bolanos quoted Serna as saying that the coup plotters planned a meeting in the Costa Rican capital of San Jose. Balanos said he responded that he has no knowledge of any such meeting. Reagan urges MX approval WASHINGTON-President Reagan pressed his lobbying campaign for continued funding of the MX missile yesterday, saying America's existing land-based missiles are "sorta like a 1963 jalopy with some new parts." Using his weekly noontime radio address to urge Americans to put pressure on Congress, Reagan said the MX vote, which is still about 10 days off, "could be the real key to a successful outcome" of a new round of U.S.- Soviet arms talks beginning in Geneva on Tuesday. The Soviets, Reagan said, view the upcoming House and Senate votes on MX funding as a key test of American resolve. "The time is now to send a signal loud and clear that a united and resolute America backs our negotiators in Geneva," Reagan said. "And that could be the real key to a successful outcome." But Sen. Gary Hart, responding to Reagan on behalf of the Democrats, said, "The Soviets already know we're strong and determined." Walesa confined to hometown WARSAW, Poland-Solidarity leader Lech Walesa was banned yesterday from leaving his hometown of Gdansk without permission in the toughtest action against the Nobel peace prize winner since his release from prison in 1982. Walesa, contacted by telephone Saturday, said he was told by the Gdansk state prosecutor that he was suspected of inciting public unrest for calling a 15-minute general strike to protest food price hikes. The strike was called off after the government agreed to a phased price increase. But, immediately after the restrictons against Walesa were announced, Solidarity urged workers to stage protest rallies April 1, when the revised price hikes are introduced. The outlawed trade union said it will consider calling a national strike in June if its demands are not met. Iran bombs Iraqi refinery NICOSIA, Cyprus-Iran and Iraq struck at each other's cities from the air and ground yesterday and both said they caused heavy casualties and damage on the sixth day of new border combat. Iraq claimed it downed an Iranian jet. A communique carried by Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Nicosia, said 10 Iranian jet fighters bombed an oil refinery and an army camp at Khanaqin, about 80 miles northeast of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on the Iran-Iraq border. The communique said the jets scored "decisive hits" in early morning strike setting sections of the refinery on fire and inflicting heavy losses on Iraqi troops in the camp. It also said fighter-bombers attacked "important installations" in the twin garrisontowns of Ali al-Gharbi and Ali al-Sharqi on the banks of the Euphrates River southeast of Baghdad. Losses in the towns "were said to be heavy." } Iraq did not confirm the attack. or send a check to 420 Maynard, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 m ie 3tic gan Bati Vol. XVC - No. 125 The lIichigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
