4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 21, 1985""d Shairotells House of'U budget woes (ContinuedfromPage 1)recommendation for an increase in recommendations on financial aid of the state and helps promote the higher education spending, including spending, calling the creation of the state's economic development. budget. The measure has already passed the Republican-dominiated Senate, but it. is expected to face op- position in the House. "I am not going to vote for a tax roll- back," announced Rep. Dominic Jacobetti (D-Neguanee) at the education subcommittee hearing yesterday. Jacobetti, who is not a member of the subcommittee but chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said that "we cannot afford to raise tuition anymore. Soon, only the rich kids will be going to school. All the taxpayers are going to have to contribute, not just the poor kids." JACOBETTI'S remarks followed testimony by University President Harold Shapiro that "there is no way (for the University) to freeze in-state tuition." While praising the governor's $14.3 million more for the University, Shapiro pointed out that increasing pay for the University's employees by the projected 5 percent inflation rate would cost the University $15.6 million. "This leaves no money for anything else," he said, adding that money is, needed to increase minority recruit- ment and retention programs and make up for the University's $1.4 million budget deficit last year. THE UNIVERSITY is currently looking at two budget models in which tuition would be increased by 5 percent and 9 percent. Without any state funds. in addition to those recommended by the governor, a 5 percent increase would result in a $4.4 million deficit, ac- cording to University Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye. A 9 percent increase would result in a slight surplus. Shapiro praised the governor's Michigan Work Study Program and the Michigan Com petitive Scholarship Program "things we definitely need." Shapiro criticized a plan by House Democrats to increase financial aid spending by taking money out of an in- stitution's general funds. "OBVIOUSLY WE'RE in favor of more financial aid spending, but when the money has to come out of the in- stitutions, we're opposed to it," said Shapiro. "Access to low-quality education is a hoax." Shapiro also raised the proposed $25 million research excellence fund, which would support the four "research institutions" in the state: the Univer- sity of Michigan, Michigan State, Wayne State, and Michigan Technological University. "It solves two problems," he said. "It helps support the research universities When asked by Rep. Bob Emerson (D-Flint) whether he thought the research fund would be better spent to cut the University's budget deficit, Shapiro replied that it would be "inap- propriate. It's time we start doing something to support the research in- stitutions of this state." Shapiro said the deficit would be bet- ter eliminated by modest increases in tuition of 4 to 5 percent. Yesterday's was the second of three hearings held by the subcommittee to discuss the state's public colleges and universities. The subcommittee, after deliberations, will release its budget sometime in April. After the Sente goes through a similar process next month, a joint committee of the Senate and House will iron out the state's budget in May. 'U' claims Picozzi set fire to gain Yale admission (Continued from Page 1) wards talked with him for about 40 minutes. "He didn't seem any different than he normally did. He didn't seem preocupied or depressed," Cronin said. SAM DIMON, a former law student who was associated with Picozzi through the Christian Law Students group, also testified that he was with Learn to live with someone who's living with cancer. Call us. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Picozzi on March 7. He said that in the afternoon, he and Picozzi talked about a panel on abortion that was to take place on March 10. "I'd say he was upbeat. He gave the im- pression of being interested in the topic and looking forward to the panel," said Dimon. Edward Weise; an investment manager with the Baltimore firm Tiroe-Price who was a close friend of Picozzi's during his undergraduate years at Yale, was the last person to speak with Picozzi before the fire. At 12;11 a.m. on March 8th, Weise received a call from Picozzi that lasted 14 minutes. he could not remember what was said. IN CROSS-examination, Davis asked if it was unusual for Picozzi to call him at that hour and Weise said no. Davis asked Weise if Picozzi was "crestfallen" when he was rejected from Yale Law School as an un- dergraduate. "He was unhappy. 1 wouldn't say crestfallen," Weise. replied. He also said that Michigan was; not Picozzi's first choice. Two additonal medical experts also testified today. DAVID SMITH a plastic surgeon from the Detroit Medical Center, testified for the defense. He said that the photos of Picozzi's burns were con- sistent to a reasonable medical certain- ty with what Picozzi said happened the night of the fire. Irving Feller, the director of the University of Michigan's burn center, testified that Picozzi's burns could have been compatible with the type of flash fire tha the University's arson expert said occurred when Picozzi ignited gasoline in his room. Feller examinied Picozzi while he was at the University Hospital after falling from a window in the burning room. After testimony today, Davis said that it was a good day for the Univer- sity. he said "Mrs. Picozzi was ob- viously lying." Davis also said that the defendants medical experts contradicted their ar- son experts. Defense attorney Alan Silber said his medical expert showed that the burns that Picozzi suffered were more con- sistent with what Picozzi said occurred on the night of the fire than the Univer- sity's theory. IN BRIEF Complied from Associated Press and United Press International reports Senate approves funds for MX WASHINGTON-The MX missile easily cleared its second and final Senate ih urdle yesterday and the struggle over the multiwarhead weapon, shifted to the House, where opponents conceded President Reagan's powers of persuasion are as "awesome as the power of the weapon itself." The Senate, which Tuesday voted 55-45 to authorize $1.5 billion for 21 of the 10-warhead missiles in fiscal 1985, voted by an identical margin yesterday afternoon to appropriate the money to the Pentagon, which can actually get the money if the House also approves the missile next week in two similar votes. The was less than three hours of Senate debate yesterday, and most of the talking was by oppenents, The focus now shifts to the House, where President Reagan already has begun his lobbying effort in anticipation of floor votes to authorize the money on next Tuesday and a vote to appropriate the money the next Thursday. Ohio S&Ls may reopen today COLUMBUS-Gov. Richard Celeste and officers of 68 closed savings and loans agreed yesterday on emergency regulations they hope will permit them to begin reopening today-with some account holders permitted to withdraw only up to $750 a month. Thomas Batties, state superintendent of savings and loans, said that limit would apply to institutions that want to open but are unable to satisfy the state that they have obtained enough insurance to cover all deposits. Institutions that apply for federal insurance or otherwise demonstrate to state officials that they can meet depositors' demands would be allowed to open on a full-service basis, with no limits on customer withdrawals or deposits, he said. Celeste and the thrift officers met to put finishing touches to the regulations only 10 hours after the state Legislature approved a bill, and the governor signed it, requiring the closed state chartered institutions to apply for federal deposit insurance, or equivalent coverage before reopening. Celeste ordered the institutions closed Friday after mass withdrawals by depositors at a few institutions following the collapse a week earlier of the Home State Saving Bank of Cincinnati. Court upholds injection death WASHINGTON-States may continue to use deadly drugs to execute con- demned murderers despite arguments that such lethal injections may cause slow and painful death, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday. In a 9-0 decision the court said the Food and Drug Administration is not required to test the drugs. The ruling overturned a 1983 decision by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here that ordered the FDA to ban lethal injections until it determined they kill quickly and painlessly. The lower court's ruling was suspended by Chief Justice Warren Burger last year,' allowing states to 'use the injections while the Supreme Court reviewed the case. The lethal injection case stemmed from a lawsuit by death row inmates in Texas and Oklahoma who said the FDA should have to make sure drugs used in executions do not "produce excruciatingly slow and painful death." Lawyers representing the condemned inmates said the FDA showed more interest in protecting "dogs and horses" by testing drugs used in mercy killing of animals. Rebels continue fight mnBeirut BEIRUT, LEBANON-The leader of a revolt against President Amin Gemayel's policies took over as commander of Lebanon's largest Christian militia yesterday and the mutineers clashed for a third day with government troops in the port of Sidon. Prime Minister Rashid Karami said army commander Gen. Michel Aoun and chief of state Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Tayy Abu Dirgham were summoned to a Cabinet meeting and told to take "all necessary measures to end the dangerous developments" in Sidon. Red Cross officials said 10 people have been killed and at least 40 wounded in the provincial capital of south Lebanon since fighting broke out between government troops and Christian militiamen on Monday. A communique read to reporters at the rebels' headquarters in east Beirut said Samir Geagea, whose fighters seized Christian areas north of the capital last week, had been named chief of staff of the Lebanese Forces. Geagea's-name headed a 10-man executive leadership, which the com- munique said had been elected to govern the militia independent of Gemayel's Phalange Party. The party had dominated the coalition of Christian factions formed in 1980 to fight Moslems. Army subdues Bolivian strike LA PAZ, Bolivia-The president mobilized the army against rampaging strikers in the streets of the capital yesterday. Troops and tanks drove away thousands of demonstrators who blocked traffic, forced shops to close, and set off dynamite charges on the 13th day of a paralyzing general strike. Armored units, soldiers, and national guardsmen took up positions on roads leading to La Paz and near the presidential palace. Troopers fired shots into the air and lobbed tear gas cannisters into crowds of strikers. Air force planes flew patterns overhead. No injuries were reported. Most military units returned to their barracks by yesterday afternoon, the strikers were gone from the streets, and national guardsmen patrolled the city without resistance. The general strike continued in an effort by major unions to obtain huge pay increases as compensation for 2,700 percent inflation and to drive President Hernan Zuazo from office in favor of a socialist state.

Tom Weisskopf, an RC professor, asked Douvan how the college could better involve faculty outside the RC. "Part of the original vision was that people would rotate through the Residential College," Douvan said. The influx of new faculty was supposed to promote continued growth, but that policy has failed, she said. FINANCIAL INCENTIVES, publicity for the RC, or "getting the dean to lean on the departments" may be ways of getting more LSA faculty in- to the Residential College, Douvan ex- plained. RC professor Matt Rhone wondered if the influx of new faculty would displace the "non-traditional" faculty that had formed the base of the college. The core faculty would be retained, Douvan said, but "you cannot project who is going to make the next great innovation." Douvan advocated a pattern of study in which students supplement their major with a variety of courses. "I THINK inter-disciplinary studies... is a wonderful guard against arrogance," she said. Such a pattern of study raises valuable issues and gives the student a better perspective on his or her field, Douvan said. CAMP SONG LEADER Play guitar - know Hebrew and American songs ...

Douvan also said she subscribes to the theory that there is value in the non- traditional education. "I'm a great supporter of experimental education," such as field study, writing and producing a play for a thesis, she said. The response of students and faculty was enthusiastic and favorable. "I'm absolutely delighted," said Susan Wright, a science professorsin the RC. "It's always good to have new ideas... She would bring that but be sensitive to the present needs of the students as well," Wright said. "I FEEL very positive," said Cynthia Sowers, an arts professor. "I think she is very poised and has some very in- teresting ideas about education." Sower is impressed by Douvan's com- mitment to the undergraduate program and her respect for quality and inter: disciplinary education. Douvan, currently serving on the RC review committee, admitted she does not know everything about the college. But that does not worry students. "If she isn't quite aware about what's going on in the Residential College, she is going to find out. She seems motivated to understand what this is all about," said RC senior Chris Culliton. "I think she's the right person," said RC senior Jake London. "If she wants to do it, we'll be very happy." Douvan is currently the co-director of the Center for Women's Studies and holds the Catherine Neafie Kellogg Professor of Psychology Chair, one of the highest honors at the University. She earned her undergraduate degree at Vassar College and has a Masters degree and Ph.D from the University.
