easier," said LSA first-year student
Katherine Jablonski, who used a
Comerica ATM machine yesterday.
"Right now, I don't need to go to
the cashier's office, but I could in
the future ... I think this would be
a good idea."
Susan Vance, a program assis-
tant at the Seminole Access Center
at Florida State University, said
FSU students have been very recep-
tive to their ATM system in-
stalled last fall.
"All incoming students auto-
matically get the card, and about
3,500 other students and staff have
gotten in on the system," Vance
said.
The main difference between
FSU's system and the University's
plan is that FSU's program is run
under First Florida Bank, and, for a
$0.75 charge per transaction, dou-
bles as a bank card.
Middlemas said the University
card would not be bank-affiliated.
"There are some legal questions
that have to be answered as far as
our stepping on any toes by pre-
tending we're a bank, which we're
not," Middlemas said.
Vance said FSU students use the
card to pay their tuition, their cable
and phone bills if they live on cam-
pus, their meal plan and health cen-
ter fees, or for athletic tickets and
parking permits - provided the
money is available in their account.
And in the spring, Vance said the
access cards will replace student
IDs, and will also include a "junk
stripe," which will allow students
to use the card in campus vending
machines.
"The card also acts like a credit
card on a debit system in campus
and non-university stores. All the
bookstores and a lot of the restau-
rants take it," Vance said.-
Although Middlemas said this
kind of cash-free campus is not the
original intention of the Univer-
sity ATM's, he said features could
be added gradually if the system is
established.
Paul Rosser, the general man-
ager of Ulrich's bookstore, said he
would gladly accept a credit card
like FSU's. "I have been interested
in getting in on the Entrde Plus
card, but we've been told that we
can't," Rosser said. "I know a lot
of the area restaurants are very in-
terested as well."
LSA senior Becky Travis said
she favors the cash-free idea, but
added she is concerned about the
University becoming increasingly
impersonal.
"I don't want to end up talking
to machines all day," Travis said.
Another drawback she was con-
cerned about is losing interest on
money that could be in a bank.

"There could be a liability on the
state general fund," said Sen. John
Schwarz (R-Battle Creek), co-chair
of the Higher Education subcom-
mittee.
"It is a loss to the public. I like
the MET program because it encour-
aged people to make a commitment
to education," said Sen. Lana Pol-
lack (D-Ann Arbor).
"My parents saved for years for
my education and it is a real sign of
the times that people are going to
the savings bond plan which isn't as
innovative as the guaranteed pro-
gram," she added.
University administrators said
they are pleased with the new plan.
"The MET board had questions
about the solvency of the program
when they met before," said Keith
Molin, associate vice president for
government relations. "If the sav-
ings bond plan is a substitute, that is
good, since they are getting their
questions answered."
But not everyone is reacting fa-
vorably to the new plan.
Guy Clark, president of the

risks and support research," he said.
Steiss added that the University
retains ownership of the technol-
ogy, or "intellectual property."
Stephanie Epstein, the author of
the report, released her findings yes-
terday during a press conference.
The study investigates Japanese
investment in U.S. universities, sci-
entific research, lower school cur-
ricula and teachers, and Washington
think-tanks.
The report states that for
decades, the government has used
substantial amounts of taxpayers'
money to build a strong research and
development educational infras-
tructure. And now Japan is buying
into the high-tech fruits of U.S. uni-
versities' labors.
According to the study, Japan has
attempted to influence U.S. opinion
toward its main trade rival. For in-
stance, it cites Japanese financing for
trips to its country for U.S. school
teachers who upon returning, share

case it's meaningless.
"If she's a yes-person, so is ev-
erybody else in the party caucus."
According to Grady, City Coun-
cil Democrats work to build a con-
sensus in caucus meetings in order to
present a united front in council
meetings, which creates the appear-
ance of little conflict over most{,
issues.
Grady said the recent vote on the- l
city's new noise violation ordinance,-
which passed by a vote of 10-0 in fa-ti

consensus-building procedure. "Ori-
ginally, we could have passed it 6-5,.,
but we didn't want to do that."
Muir's position on Peterson's.,.
participation in council politics is 4
"superficial analysis," Grady said.-
"It's based on somebody who's just,,,
been reading headlines. ... That's,,
probably what he's been doing." -
Michigan Collegiate Coalition, a
student lobbying group in Lansing, ,
said the new program isn't as inno-
vative as some claim.
"It is an unsubsidized program
which anyone can do on their own,",
he said. "The real people affected by
the change are prospective MET
contract holders who will have aprbe rigt e otat:
problem trying to get contracts."
Clark added that part of Engler's'
desire to change the MET program
stems from his relationship with .
universities determining tuition
rates.
"Gov. Engler has not interfered
with universities in tuition deci-'
sions, but now universities are rais--
ing tuition so much that it may-'
make the MET program impossi- 1
ble," Clark said. "Part of the reason.{
people have proposed tuition caps is'
to keep the MET program possible.
By not choosing to maintain tuition
caps, Engler has chosen not to make-'
MET viable."
Molin disagreed with Clark.
"Universities are autonomous in.
tuition decisions. Gov. Blanchard
was the first governor in the state
to interfere in tuition policies. The-
governor has simply done what his
predecessors, except for Blanchard,
have done," Molin said.

The study also states that Japan-
has donated substantial funds td
five think-tanks in Washington that:

policies.
The extent of the Japanese in-
vestment in the United States has
not been disclosed because no public
records exist. The government re-
quired investment to be reported to
the Department of Education from
1986 until the law mandating such
disclosure expired in 1989.
Charles Lewis, executive direc+4

tailing of legislation requiring doc::
umentation of foreign investment.
He said the study has a two-fold,'
significance - it asks whether the,
United States should subsidize
other countries with its research and;

and states that there must be public
