Frye warns of iht'U' budget
(Continued from Page 1) ~~" \ ...~ , ,
ded to state legislators that the
University receive a $13 million in-
crease in general operating budget
funds. University officials, however,
said last fall they needed a $26 million
increase just to meet the University's
bare necessities.
In addition to the $26 million,
University officials asked for another
$9 million to begin making up for needs
that piled up during the state's budget
crisis of the late '70s and early '80s.
CASE IN POINT is University
faculty salaries, which fell below
those at peer institutions by eight per-
cent. In addition, Frye said the
University deferred making financing
$40 million in building renovations
and equipment renewals.
The bare budget request would in-
crease faculty pay by seven percent.
If the state legislature does not
significantly add to the governor's
recommendations, one way to meet
the need will be to increase tuition.
Frye, however, would not comment
on whether tuition will be increased
this fall.
LAST YEAR, out-of-state tuition
was increased by eight percent. In-
state tuition was frozen after Blan-
chard threatened to veto any higher
education increases if in-state tuition
was increased.
This year, Blanchard asked state
universities and colleges to keep
tuition increases at the inflation rate
to keep increases smaller than last
year.
Shapiro's comments yesterday
came after he said the University had
to improve itstquality to compete with
other universities and colleges.
"WE'RE TERRIFIC and all that
kind of stuff, but we should be better,"
he said.

The University's Board of Regents meets in the Fleming Building yesterday.
The University, Shapiro said, could
sustain itself with its current budget
situation, "but that's an inadequate
aspiration. Everybody else is getting
better, so should we."
The "five year plan," he said,
enabled the University to get through
its budget crisis while improving
quality. "Just like we had to turn to
ourselves in the early-1980s, we have
to look to ourselves for reallocation."
SHAPIRO, however, said "that
doesn't mean we have to do it in the
same kind of ways. We have to think
over the next year what kind of steps
we want to take."

The reallocations brought strong
protests by the schools cut during a
year-long program review. Deans of
the three schoolsesaid they made the
cuts on schedule and the quality of
their schools improved. Education
Dean Carl Berger, however, has said
the school has suffered an "image"
problem.
Shapiro said University officials
would continue looking at other ways
to increase revenue, as well as ways
to make the administration run more
efficiently.
Correction
The Philanthropy Shelter Commit-
tee's efforts resulted in 20 people
volunteering. The Daily incorrectly
reported yesterday that 200 had
volunteered.

SHAPIRO also said other sources of
funds for the University - such as
federal funds - would not be greatly
increased over the next five years.
Federal funds for financial aid, he
said will face reductions regardless of
which measures Congress takes to
reduce the federal deficit. The state
will continue to prosper, he predicted,
but most increases in the state's in-
come will probably be returned to
Michigan residents in tax cuts.
Shapiro said one way the University
could get more money is through
private contributions, noting that the
University's current "Campaign for
Michigan" program has raised about
$115 million in donations. However,
he added it could take as many as 14
years to build up as large a program
as the University needs.
Shapiro also rejected the idea of
large tuition increases, saying that
both in-state and out-of-state tuition
could be raised modestly, but "I do
not expect it to give us a special lift."
IN BRIEF
COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS
House panel votes to stop
U.S. aid to Marcos' govt.
WASHINGTON - A House panel voted unanimously yesterday to halt
direct U.S. aid to the government of President Ferdinand Marcos of the
Philippines and to channel future humanitarian assistance and economic
aid through the Roman Catholic church and other private groups.
Most military aid would go into an escrow account to await "a
legitimate government. . . which commands the support of the people of
the Philippines," the bill said.
In voting 9-0 in favor of the legislation, members of the subcommittee
on Asian and Pacific Affairs brushed aside objections from Reagan Ad-
ministration officials who wanted the panel to wait until presidential
emissary Philip Habib returns from Manila to report on his findings.
Stressing their bipartisan support, four Republicans joined five
Democrats in favor of the bill.
Rep. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.), the subcommittee chairman, said the
bill wouldn't be taken up by the full House Foreign Affairs Committee un-
til after Habib returns, so that his findings would be given ample con-.
sideration before final passage.
Soviets will allow inspections
GENEVA - Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, repeating his call for a
total ban on nuclear tests, agreed yesterday to a longstanding U.S.
demand for "on-site inspections to verify compliance with any such
treaty.
In a message to the 40-nation disarmament Conference, Gorbachev
also urged the United States to match a Soviet test moratorium, which
began last August and is due to expire March 31.
"It now depends above all on the United States whether the moratorium
will continue to be in effect and whether it will become bilateral and thus
multilateral," said the message to the conference, which has discussed a
test ban for 23 years.
Gorbachev, who said a ban "could become a turning point" in efforts to
eliminate nuclear weapons, announced the Soviet Union "is agreeable to
the most strict control over a ban on nuclear weapon tests, including on-
site inspections."
The message was delivered by Georgy Kornienko, first deputy foreign
minister, who in a separate speech also sounded Moscow's new line.
Iraq downs Iranian plane
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi forces shot down an Iranian plane near the
Iran-Iraq border yesterday, killing at least 46 civilians, including a top
aide to Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran said.
Iraq did not directly comment on the report by the official Iranian news
agency, IRNA, but said it has not shot down any Iranian civilian planes.
Both nations have exaggerated their war claims since fighting broke out
in September 1980.
According to IRNA, the twin-engine turboprop plane was on a domestic
flight from Tehran to Ahwaz, a town near the Iraqi border, when it was
attacked and shot down by at least one Iraqi jet. The plane went down 16
miles north of Ahwaz, IRNA said.
Among the victims in the downing of the F-28 Fokker Friendship plane
was Hojatoles-lam Fadhlollah Mahallati, a top Khomeini aide, IRNA
said.
Shiite guerrillas in Lebanon
fire at raiding Israeli force
SRIFA, Lebanon - Guerrillas in this Shiite Moslem village fired on
Israel's raiding force yesterday and the Israelis pounded a cluster of
houses with shellfire in response. Israeli helicopter gunships strafed
nearby olive groves.
Israel's military command said one of its soldiers and eight guerrillas
were killed. State-owned Beirut radio said that 20 Israelis were killed or
wounded, but ther was no confirmation of this claim.
It was the first major battle with Shiite guerrillas since the Israelis
swept north on Monday to search for two soldiers captured during a
guerrilla ambush in Israel's border "security zone."
An anonymous telephone caller told a Beirut newspaper the fundamen-
talist Shiites who seized the men had killed one of them Wednesday night
because the Israelis ignored a demand to withdraw. He said a
photograph of the victim would be released yesterday, but it had not tur-
ned up by nightfall.
Fire from Israeli tank cannon poured into Srifa for three hours yester-
day. Most of it appeared to be aimed at 30 houses on the northeast flank of
the village, from which Shiite fighters had fired rocket-propelled
grenades and machine guns at Israeli units just to the northeast.
Thousands protest in India
NEW DELHI, India - Hundreds of thousands of people massed in In-
dia's cities yesterday to protest food and fuel price increases ordered by
the government to finance an ambitious development program. Many
shouted, "This is war!"
Police arrested about 10,000 people in New Delhi alone, half the
estimated number demonstrating in the capital, but released them in a
few hours without filing charges. Among those detained were more than
750 women, virtually all the top leaders of the political opposition and more
than 100 members of Parliament.
Peaceful demonstrators in India customarily seek arrest, in the non-
violence tradition of Mohandas Gandhi, and are held only briefly because
there is not enough space for them in jails. Most arrests yesterday were
for violating a ban on public assembly.
The protest in New Delhi was one of dozens in at least 12 other cities and
states, including Bombay, Calcutta, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Ijaryana, Bihar, Orissa and
Gujarat.
