State may outlaw prank calls By KATHLEEN KASPER Crank telephone callers who hang up without saying anything may Lace up to six months in jai and a $500 fine if a bill, sponsored by the House Judiciary Committee, is passed by the House and Senate. The statute does not make hang- ing up upon dialing a wrong number an offense. State Representative Debbie Farhat (D-Muskegon), who agreed to sponsor the bill, said the General Telephone Company of Michigan and the state police think they can better serve victims of nuisance calls if the current law is amended in this way. "This type of nuisance call can be just as unnerving and frightening to the victim as other forms of tele- phone harassment," said Roy Boudreau, GTE's state governmental affairs executive. To find the caller, Bret McCray of Representative Perry Bullard's (D- Ann Arbor) office said a device will be put on the victim's phone to track the source of the phone call. This device does not identify the caller, only the phone which was used for the call. McCray said callers who mali- ciously call and hang up after the party answers are disturbing the {peace. He did not think the bill would be very effective, but maintained that it was no more absurd than some other legislation. He said several committee members thought the bill was silly. Sergeant Kevin McNulty, of the University's Department of Public Safety and Security, said there are many complaints of nuisance calls on campus, but many are harassment calls in which the caller speaks. Calls don't usually need to be traced, but it can be done, said McNulty. The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 9, 1987- Page 3 One candidate files for LSA-SG presidency By MICHAEL LUSTIG Only one person has declared candidacy for the presidency of LSA's student government. LSA juniors Barb Eisenberger and Trisha Drueke, both members of the currnt 15-member executive council, are running under the banner of the Students for Academic and Institu- tional Development (SAID) party. They are unopposed in their quest for the presidency and vice-presidency. Eisenberger was disappointed at the lack of competition in the race. "I just hate the apathy on this campus," she said. Eleven other students are running with SAID for seats on the 15-seat Executive Council. Seven people are have declared themselves as indepen- dent candidates for the board. The LSA-SG has two major roles on campus. One is to give money to student groups. LSA-SG has about $16,000, which it gets from student government fees that all LSA stu- dents pay as part of tuition, to dis- tribute to student groups. Its other job is to appoint students to Univer- sity committees such as LSA's Cur- riculumCommittee. LSA-SG has also taken on some issues of its own. At a candidates' meeting Friday, LSA-SG Vice-presi- tuitiont "The increased tuition will free $8 to $10 million to be used for financial aid for in-state students," Tougas said. Since the law went into effect in Massachusetts, foreign students are no longer subsidized by the state. Out-of-state students are still partially funded by the Massachusetts government. dent Michael Nelson explained the council's "action groups" designed to improve undergraduate life. This term, Nelson said, the groups have looked into pre-registration as a way to make CRISP easier; obtaining LSA course credits for ROTC stu- dents; and publicizing counseling. "Those of you elected next term will have the awesome task of con- continuing our work," Nelson said. Achieving name recognition has been a challenge for LSA-SG.Last year, only about 900 students out of an eligible 17,000 voted in its elec- tion. This year, the group has bud- geted $750 for election advertisings consisting of posters, Diag boards, and advertisements in publications around campus. Voting for the LSA-SG will be held along with elections for repre- sentatives to the Michigan Student Assembly Nov. 18 and 19. Current President John Pantowich said that the ballots for the two slates will be stapled together and then separated by election workers. Having the two elections on the same days will "definitely increase voter turnout," Pantowich said. f TUESDAY LUNCH FORUM N at the INTERNATIONAL CENTER - 603 E.

IdA By DAVID SCHWARTZ A new Massachusetts law has raised the tuition for foreign students attending state-funded colleges and universities, but M i c h i g a n legislators are not considering similar legislation. The Massachusetts law provides for a "three-tier system" that sets different tuition rates for in-state, out-of-state, ,and foreign students. Michigan lawmakers consider out-of- state students and foreign students in the same category, and they leave tuition decisions to the governing boards of each institution. This year, 2,446 of the 49,523 students at the University are from abroad. TEIST What's happening in Ann Arbor today Ws forefvign Michigan State Rep. Burton Leland (D-Detroit), chair of the House Colleges and Universities Committee, doesn't believe the state legislature should dictate tuition rates at state colleges and univer- sities. He believes the responsibility lies with the governing body of each institution. The University's Board o f Regents is not currently considering enacting a tuition hike for foreign students. "Historically, institutions o f higher education have privileges which allow them to run their own shop," said Leland. "If we start telling the universities what to do, pretty soon we'll be in the classrooms telling them what books to use. We don't want to get involved in that, and I don't think we have the right to get involved with that." State Sen. Joe Conroy (D-Flint), a staunch proponent of increased in- state student enrollment, doesn't view foreign students any differently than out-of-state students. "I think Michigan students should have the first opportunity to enroll at the (state) universities," he said. Conroy added that there is no need to differentiate between the tuitions of out-of-state and foreign students. Massachusetts State Rep. Roger Tougas(D-Dartmouth), who initiated the law in that state, believes otherwise. "We had an abundance of foreign students who were taking the places of Massachusetts residents," he said. "If these foreign students, who must return to their countries after graduation, want to use the universities of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then they should have to pay their full tuition."
