James Blanchard is recom- mending a sparse 5 percent state fun- ding increase for the University next fall, the state budget director said yesterday. The increases, called "disappoin- ting" by University Vice President for State Relations Richard Kennedy, will mean a tight University budget next year and probably tuition in- creases for all students in the fall. THE GOVERNOR'S proposal, if ap- proved by the state legislature this summer, would translate into about $12.2 million more in state support next year, which is far short of the $26 million bare minimum increases University administrators asked for last fall. State support makes up over half the University's general operating budget. Kennedy, though, said it's hard to be completely disappointed when "you take into account the state's financial situation." THE Governor's budget, said Robert Naftaly, director of the state's Office f of Management and Budget, contains $11 million less in spending next year than this year. l "This is a lean budget that con- tinues to focus resources on programs that best meet the essential needs of t our citizens," Naftaly told members - of the legislative budget-writing and tax committees. The proposal allows for spending more for education, prisons, and a continuation of environmental protec- tion programs. NAFTALY said it is also the first budget in six years based on an in- come tax of 4.6 percent. The rate now stands at 5.1 percent, but lawmakers are moving to cut the levy sometime this year. Kennedy said the University's in- creases are "encouraging when one considers that the Governor's spen- ding recommendations for most other state services provide no increases and in some cases, actual reduc- tions." "Even so," Kennedy said, "it is clear that the Governor's proposal ... falls considerably short of our request." Last year, Blanchard proposed a 13 percent state funding increase and demanded that the University freeze tuition for Michigan residents. The University complied. But this year, the Governor is only asking the state's universities and colleges to keep in-state tuition in- creases below the 5 percent inflation rate, said Lynn Schaffer, assistant director of the state Department of Management and Budget. "The Governor felt it wouldn't be fair to demand a freeze when we can only give an inflationary increase," she said. STATE support for higher education overall would rise by only 5.5 percent .under the Governor's proposals. In addition to the $26 million bare minimum to meet rising costs, the University asked for an additional $9 million last fall tomake up for unmet needs during the state's financial problems in the late-70s and early-80s. State support of the University fell over that time from making up about 60 percent of the University's budget in 1979 to about 47.5 percent in 1983. Support has since risen to a little over 50 percent of the budget, but Univer- sity administrators say that they have piled up a long list of unmet needs. FOR EXAMPLE University faculty have not kept up with pay increases faculty at "peer" universities have received over that time. One piece of good news the Univer- sity did receive yesterday was the Governor's proposal for a $9 million research excellence fund for the University. The fund is designed, Schaffer said, to help research-orien- ted universities as the University and Michigan State University pay for research costs. The Governor also proposed yesterday that ACT requirements for the Michigan Competitive Scholarship Program be lowered from scoring in the 85th percentile to the 80th percentile. In addition, Blan- chard recommended that funding for the program be increased by $1.5 million to pay for the estimated 1,350 increasein eligible students. By AMY MINDELL CIA recruiters cancelled their interviews scheduled for this week at the University's career planning and placement office and will not recruit on campus this term. According to Deborah Orr May, director of the office, the CIA cancelled its interviews last week because it doesn't need more employees and still has a list of studen- ts on file from fall interviews. BUT STEVE Gunn, the CIA's regional personnel representative, said the CIA' "is doing a fair amount of hiring right now." Gunn said he would not return to campus this term because he recruits here only once a year. He said he will return for his regular recruitment session next fall. Last year, however, the agency recruited on campus during both fall and winter terms. And Gunn said that last summer the CIA scheduled two sessions with career plan See CIA, Page 3 I Hair today: No one student style wins By J.A. NIELSEN Forget the ".arrah Fawcett." Bag the "bob." Stop searching for the "in" hairstyle for 1986 - chan- ces are you've already found it. According to area hairstylists, the era of naming hairstyles has been replaced by a period where trends are difficult to pinpoint and student styles vary according to the in- dividual. "RIGHT NOW anything goes," said Michael Whiting of Debut on Main Street. "It is acceptable to be freaky or conservative." On the conservative side, hair- stylists agreed that University students tend to be their least daring customers. Today's student concern with pre- professionalism and preparing for job interviews could explain these conservative coiffures, according to Deborah May, director of career planning and placement at the University. "COMMON SENSE would dictate that until you know the work en- vironment it is better to err on the more conservative side than on the more avant-garde side," May said. "Study people in the workplace and get a feel for what is acceptable." Robin Galbraith, a hairstylist at Shear Impact on South University, agreed that students reflect either their current job or long-range career aspirations when styling their hair. She mentioned that students who work in clothing shops or art studios, for example, show more originality with their hair- styles than office workers. LSA senior Leslie Baxter has never had to style her hair within the constraints of an office job. HAVING WORKED for punk rock boutiques in ,the past, Baxter has been able to give her hairstylists free reign. The result, she said, has been a head of hair she has frequently cut, braided, and shaved over the past two-and-a-half years for what she calls "a new and outrageous look." Other students not caught up in pre-professional conservatism are showing more diversity than ever with hair color and head shaving, according to the hairstyling experts. DANA FAIR. an LSA senior, has his head shaved close to the skull on the sides and longer and curly on the top. "This is my one chance to be wild. (After graduation) my "real world" hair style will be different," Fair said. Hairstylists said the new hair colorings can be used for an inten- l / 17. / Daily illustration by CHARLES C ESTREICHER MSA criticizes 'U' policy on campus safety tional "punkish" look, or can merely enhance one's natural hair color. ENHANCING OFTEN deepens and enriches a person's natural hair color, according to Wendy Walter of Dillon's. "Blonds are getting blonder and darker hair can be highlighted with red," she said. In addition, Walters said that the unnatural platinum-blond look made famous during the 1950's is staging a revival. STYLISTS AND their customers have traditionally been leery about hair coloring, fearing that the chemicals involved in the process would damage hair. But Susan Little of Debut believes that "people aren't afraid of coloring the way they used to be." Although Walters said the chemicals in coloring dry out the user's hair, she said this process actually helps the overall look of the hair. By MARY CHRIS JAKLEVIC The Michigan Student Assembly last - night urged University Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson to reaffirm his commitment to rape prevention and related cam- pus safety issues which, the assembly said, he has not fully addressed. "Just because the (Sexual Assault) Center has been instituted, doesn't mean his job has ended," said MSA Women's Issues Committee member Jen Faigel, who co-wrote the resolution. THE University's rape prevention center was originally approved last May after a demonstration in John- son's office. The center, which is still in the blueprint stage, hired its coor- dinator last week. The resolution asked that Johnson send MSA a written statement "en- suring assistance from the Office of Student Services" in installing an assault hotline, counseling rape vic- tims, instituting free self-defense courses, and improving security systems on campus. Faigel said she thought more could have been done by the OSS to expand Nite Owl Service, improve lighting on campus, and to institute a campus- wide escort service. MSA has started an escort service for West Quad, Bar- bour, and Newberry Residences, which began Sunday night. "We want a written statement that it will get done," Faigel said. The resolution comes exactly one year after members of the Women's Issues committee held a sit-in in Johnson's office and demanded that he do more to prevent rape on cam- pus.' The administrator had previously questioned the need for a rape center. Johnson could not be reached last night for comment. Shapiro, Josephson to appear in forum By KERY MURAKAMI Two presidents, Harold Shapiro of the University and Paul Josephson of the Michigan Student Assembly, will appear together tonight to answer questions on campus issues. Facing an anticipated 300-member audience in Room 130 of the Business Administration Building, the two are expected to field questions ranging from the code of non-academic con- duct to how to deal with the recent rash of racial incidents on campus. ONE of the reasons we wanted this forum was to get President Shapiro to come out on the record on some of the issues that concern us," Josephson said. Several MSA members gathered Monday night to form questions to be asked by the moderator, Joe Kraus - Daily opinion page editor - in the fir- st hour of the two-hour session. Members of the audience will be able to direct questions to either of the presidents in the second hour of the forum. Questions expected to be asked in the first hour, Josephson said, in- clude: Should there be a possibility under a code that a student would be suspended or expelled for non-violent protest, which is the equivalent of a 'One of the reasons we wanted this forum was to get President Shapiro to come out on the record on some of the issues that concern us.' - Michigan Student Assembly President Paul Josephson " What should be done to curb the recent outbreak of racial vandalism ranging from attacks to threats? Another reason for the forum, Josephson said, is to improve the dialogue between students and ad- ministrators. Shapiro was unavailable for com- ment last night. But Josephson said the University president has made overtures lately to improve com- munication between students and administrators. For example, Josephson said Shapiro has en- couraged adminstrators to attend MSA meetings regularly. The forum will begin tonight at 7 p.m. simple trespass?
