"We wanted to get across the point that students come first," Sieminski said. oo said he does not know how the house will allocate the money but said he will consider some of the factors the formula used like enrollment figures and program offerings. "I think those ought to be given the highest consideration," he. said. He added that the Univ- ersity will probably receive the largest portion of the $15 million regardless of how it is distributed. Schaefer said that although the formula will probably not be used, she hopes the idea of a strictly defined funding procedure will cause legislators to review the current system of across-the-board budget increases, which many feel wastes state money. The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 9, 1987- Page 5 U.S., Soviet reporters discuss media roles By RYAN TUTAK There were no classes in MLB 2011 yesterday afternoon; people were using it to watch TV. For two hours, "USA/USSR SPACEBRID- GE: The Role of the Media in Current Relations" broadcast a talk between Soviet and American reporters. The reporters explored levels of investigative journalism in each country, and tried to dispel ster- eotypes that each country has of the other. Although several issues were raised, the reporter's unstructured conversation left some unanswered questions. Stuart Loory, senior news cor- respondent of Cable News Network, asked how effective the Soviet press is at uncovering corruption in the government. Yurii Tschekochikhin, a writer for the Soviet The Literary Gazette, said "There are no forbid- den subjects. Today, our leaders are not involved in any corruption." Peter Jennings, moderator of the American panel, said the U.S. press is not without flaws: "We in the U.S. are determined to get the story right, and to get it first. Although this sometimes means that we get it wrong." Some tension among the reporters was evident. After the reporters made critical opening comments about the other country's press, Jennings remarked that it was "invigorating... we finally have a chance to go at each other." Tina Meldrum, an LSA freshman, thought the spacebridge was revealing. "The Soviet people were more willing than I thought they would be to answer questions." But Dr. Ruth Hastie, program associate for Russian and East European Studies, felt that the Soviet panel avoided some questions because the moderation was unstructured and the reporters were "cautious.'
