As the midpoint of the football season approaches, the Wolverines prepare for one of the m o s t important tests of the year, tomorrow's game against Iowa. How important is it? In the race for the Rose Bowl, "The loser of this game is in deep and dire trouble," said Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. "Deep and dire trouble." Both teams lost to Michigan State, so the loser will emerge with two conference losses. Should the Spartans defeat Northwestern tomorrow, they would have to lose three of their final five games for the Michigan-Iowa loser to have a shot at the roses. The Hawkeyes (4-2 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) will take their shot at the Wolverines (3-2, 1-1) with Chuck Hartlieb at quarterback.

FLINT - The University's Board of Regents yesterday approved a $50.2 million request in state appropriations for the Ann Arbor campus for the 1988-89 fiscal year. The annual request will now be sent to the state's Department of Management and Budget, which is expected to begin hearings on the request in November. Governor James Blanchard will then formulate his own recommendations on the re- quest and send it to the House of Representatives and the Senate in late January. The state legislature is expected to decide how much money will be allocated to the University by July. But University Vice President for Government Relations Richard Kennedy acknowleged that the state is unlikely to allocate the full $50 million. Last year, the University sought $45 million in state funds but only received about $16 million. This year's budget request is "an accurate reflection as to our best judgment of what the University re- ally needs," Kennedy said. But he added, "We clearly are not going to meet that entire request through the appropriations process." Tuition ac- counts for nearly all the University's revenues not covered by the state. The budget request, a 19-page document, is broken down into 11 components, each viewed by the Regents and the University's execu- tive officers as the University's pri- Faculty and staff salaries are the largest component in this year's budget request. The University re- quested $13.3 million in funds to pay for a 6 percent salary increase for faculty and highly specialized technical staff, according to the re- quest. The University is lagging be- hind its peer institutions in offering competitive salaries and therefore must strengthen its position via the compensation program, University Vice President for Academic Affairs James Duderstadt read from the re- port. The second largest component is for fixed costs, which include expenditures on staff benefits, sup- plies, insurance, utilities, and for such construction as the Medical Science Research Building II and the Chemical Sciences Building. The University requested $9.4 million to cover the fixed costs. In commenting on the budget re- quest, many of the regents stressed the importance of the University to the state.

Prof. to stand trial for assault By STEVE BLONDER 4A University professor has been Aicouid'of sexually assaulting a stu- dent, according to Washtenaw County Circuit Court records. Thomas Rosenboom, the University's "writer-in-residence," declined comment on the alleged in- cident yesterday, and defense attorney Leslie Seeligson was out of town and unavailable for comment. But Seeligson's associate, Larry Jordan, said the accusation "is all a case of mistaken identity." "Rosenboom feels he is com- pletely innocent," Jordan said. But assistant prosecuting attorney Larry Burgess countered, "(The woman) says she got a good look at him," and that there was enough light for her to clearly see her as- sailant, he said. Jordan declined comment on the possibility of filing a civil suit against the woman, saying he would be able to talk about it "in a few days." But a friend of the com- plainant confirmed the defendant re- cently filed a civil suit against the student. According to court records, an By MARTHA SEVETSON Special to the Daily FLINT - State Sen. 'Joseph Conroy (D-Flint) made an unex- pected appearance at yesterday's meeting of the University's Board of Regents to discuss the state legisla- ture's dispute with University out- of-state enrollment figures. Conroy said the issue was blown out of proportion during the state budget process last summer - when legislators threatened to put a cap on the non-resident enrollment ratio - but he defended the right of qualified in-state students to take priority in the admissions process. "Our tax dollars built this school," Conroy said during the public comments session. "We want our children to be educated here and stay here." Conroy's appearance, the first such interaction between the legisla- ture and the board, was a prelude to meetings by a panel of government officials and regents that will address the conflict next month. The panel includes Sen. William Sederburg (R- East Lansing), Sen. John Schwartz (R-Mount Pleasant), Rep. Morris Hood (D-Detroit), Rep. Robert Emerson (D-Flint),; and an unnamed representative of the State Depart- ment of Management and Budget. The board is also expected to ap- point two regents to the committee tomorrow.

A group of graduate stu- dents found a solution in 1932 by renting a house and doing their own chores. They cut room and board expenses to two dol- lars a week and made house decisions through democratic meetings. The first cooperative in Ann Arbor was born. This week, the Inter-Cooperative Council celebrates its 50th anniversary with a picnic, house tours, an alumni dinner, and several other events. With more than 500 residents and more than 10,000 alumni, co-ops have not lost their appeal. There are almost no vacancies in ICC houses, said Audrey Haberman, the council's educational coordinator. The co-op's alumni include author Arthur Miller, who was a member of the Wolverine Dining Cooperative, and en- trepreneur Tom Monaghan, who lived in Lester House. The reasons why students choose to live in co-ops have varied over the years. ' Since the first co-op, the Michigan Socialist House, was founded, "The Uni- versity itself has changed," said Jim Jones, executive director of the ICC. "The idea of the co-ops was less radical when it first started." 'Everybody here is unusual, and everybody is accepted right away.' - Nancy Lindquist, a Lenny Bruce house resident Students sought cooperatives for their social context only during two periods, Jones said. "In the 1930s, during the De- pression, students were literally starving. There was then a driving need for cooperatives. In the early 1970s, there was a 'cultural revolution', and the ethic to take more control of their lives." Today, students live in cooperatives for many reasons. "In a big university, peo- ple are looking for a small community. They also enjoy the power of controlling their rent," Haberman said. Many also find the atmosphere of co- operatives appealing. "Everybody here is unusual, and everybody is accepted right away," said Nancy. Lindquist, a Washtenaw Commu- nity College student who lives in the Lenny Bruce house. For many students, -co-ops are neces- sary forfinancial reasons. Rent is decided by the individual houses, and averages about $300 a month, including room, board, and utilities. "The co-ops began because people needed an affordable place to live. This still holds true today," said Charlie Van Boven, also a Bruce co-op resident, who is not enrolled in the University. "A lot of people come because of the money. After a while, though, they like the phi- losophy of what a cooperative is all about," he added.
