William Milliken warned University President Robben Fleming to expect at least a 4-percent decrease in state funding for the 1975-1976 academic year. Milliken also instructed Fleming that "tuition increases and enrollment decreases are not viable alternatives" to compensate for the lower funding. , However, Fleming said he wouldn't rule out a tuition increase and saw no other path toward increasing University revenue. "Our financial future is a very serious problem and I don't know the answer to it," he told the University community in his annual State of the University speech earlier that week. "This is the most dismal financial picture we've faced inthe lastdecade." Twenty-eightyearsagothis week(Oct.9,1986) Members ofthe Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs asked University administrators to form a committee to review spendingpriorities. The request followed a five-year study on funds distribution at the University conducted by a SACUA subcommittee, which led to the sentiment among some faculty membersthatcertaindepartments are routinelyoverlooked.

First U.S. Ebola case leads to travel ban consideration H--,m Health officials advise maintaining open borders (AP) - Top government health officials said Sunday that they are opposed to placing a ban on travelers from Ebola-infected countries, warning that shutting down borders could impede efforts by aid workers to stop the spread of the deadly virus. The idea of a ban gained cur- rency this past week after the na- tion's first case was diagnosed in Dallas. Proponents have argued that it would help ensure public safety. Anthony'Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, said a travel embargo on West African countries that are strug- gling with Ebola would make it much harder for them to control the virus. "You isolate them, you can cause unrest in the country," Fau- ci told "Fox News Sunday." "It's conceivable that governments could fall if you just isolate them completely." British Airways and some oth- er airlines have suspended flights from those countries, and overall traffic to and from the affected areas has dropped. Sen. Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican, has said the federal government should gradually halt flights to the region to pro- tect Americans. Rep. Tim Mur- phy plans to conduct hearings on the policy this coming week. He leads the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Asking travelers to report their own activities at airports "has been a demonstrated failure, and it is nearly impossible to retrace steps to try and track down ev- eryone who has been in contact with a carrier taking multiple international flights across the globe," Murphy, a ,Pennsylvania Republican, said Friday. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a physician, said the U.S. should halt flights from Ebola-stricken countries. "The Obama administration keeps saying they won't shut down flights. They instead say we should listen to 'the experts,"' Jindal said Friday. 4In fact, they said it would be counterproduc- tive to stop these flights. That statement defies logic.' Tom Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention, said on ABC's "This Week" that the administra- tion was open to practical sugges- tions that won't backfire. "We don't want to do some- thing that inadvertently increas- es our risk by making it harder to stop the outbreak there, be- cause if it spreads more widely throughout different countries in Africa, that will be even more of a risk to us," said Frieden, whose agency has cautioned against non-essential travel to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Frieden has also noted that a ban on incoming flights could af- fect Americans trying to return home from those countries. "There are many other people who have the right to enter into this country," he said during a Saturday briefing. "And we're not going to be able to get to zero risk no matter what we do unless and until- we control the outbreak in West Africa." An airline passenger traveling from Liberia to Dallas brought Ebola into the U.S. last month. He is hospitalized in isolation, and public-health officials are moni- toring a few dozen people who may have been exposed to the virus. U.S. officials have empha- sized that the United States has a modern medical system that is far better equipped to contain an outbreak than the African coun- tries where Ebola is currently spreading. , Airline passengers have their temperatures taken as they board planes in the outbreak zone, al- though those infected with Ebola can go up to 21 days before they exhibit symptoms. Passengers are also asked about contact with infected people, but that process would not be useful if a passenger lies or simply does not realize the medical condition of people they have encountered. EBOLA UPDATES DALLAS U.S. Ebola patient in worse condition After hospital officials on Saturday said the condition of the lone Ebola patient diag- nosed in the U.S. has worsened, the woman he came to Texas to visit said she is praying for his recovery. Louise Troh said thatshe was not aware until a reporter told her that Thomas Eric Duncan's condition had been deemed crit- ical and that she had not spoken with him Saturday. "I pray in Jesus' name that it will be all right," Troh said in a telephone interview from the home where she and three oth- ers are being isolated. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas didn't provide any further details or respond to questions about Duncan's health on Saturday. WORCESTER, Mass. Doctor treated for Ebola hospitalized A doctor admitted to a Massachusetts hospital this weekend for an apparent respi- ratory infection after surviving the Ebolavirus was instable con- dition and feeling better Sunday, but still has a fever and cough, hospital officials said as they awaited Ebola testing results. Officials at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester said Dr. Richard Sacra remained in isolation as a precaution. He was admitted Saturday and is being treated for an upper respi- ratory infection that doctors believe is not related to Ebola he contracted in Africa. Dr. Robert Finberg, who is leading Sacra's medical team, said at a news conference Sun- day that doctors are confident Sacra's symptoms are not related to the Ebola he contracted in Africa. -Compiled from Daily wire reports I 0 6 6 '5 A
