Shapro ssesses budget

By KEVIN TOTTJS
To help face budget cutbacks and financial
uncertainties, University President Harold Shapiro
advocates maintaining a smaller, better paid and
supported faculty and staff.
In an interview yesterday, Shapiro said he has
made a "realistic assessment" of the University's
economic status in light of Gov. William Milliken's
executive order calling for a $1.6 million cut in state
appropriations to the University for the current fiscal
year and almost certain cuts in appropriations for
future years.
THE UNIVERSITY HAS three options to deal with
the cutbacks, Shapiro said. They include seeking out
and developing new financial sources, reducing the
size of the faculty, or "sharing everything with
everyone."
Although he has not yet announced a specific plan,

Shapiro said a combination of the first two options is
the most attractive. He said he plans further
discussion with faculty, staff, and the Regents.
Keeping a larger faculty and "sharing everything"
is not feasible, Shapiro said, because "I really believe
we can't retain our best people" if that route is taken.
SHAPIRO STRESSED THAT not only will the
faculty be smaller, but staff size will decrease as
well. Cutbacks for both faculty and staff-which in-
cludes teaching assistants and clerical, ad-
ministrative, and maintenance workers-for the
most part will come from attrition rather than layof-
fs, Shapiro said.
But he added, "My frank opinion is there will be
times when layoffs are unavoidable."
Shapiro said the effect of the cutbacks "will not fall
exclusively on one group" of the staff, but will be
evenly dispersed.

ONE MAJOR PROBLEM with cutting back on the
size of the faculty, Shapiro said, is that the influx of
junior faculty members will also decrease. Although
this lack of "new blood" could be detrimental to the
University, the president said he hopes the problem
can be remedied.
"I have confidence that the faculty members we
have can renew themselves intellectually in a num-
ber of ways," Shapiro said.
Shapiro said the problem is much more serious on
the national level-there is a generation of scholars
who will not find positions until perhaps 1990, he ex-
plained.
MANY OF THE junior faculty members who would
have been hired during better times could have been
women and minority members. Now, however, with

rate slight
compared
to state's
BY ELAINE RIDEOUT
Local unemployment rates shot up to
8.2 per cent for the month of April, but
are still low when compared with a
statewide figure of 12.4 per cent, accor-
ding to S. Martin Taylor, Michigan
Employment Security Commission
(MESC) director.
The Michigan jobless rate, one of the
highest nationwide, rose from 11 per
cent in March. The national rate, 6.2
per cent in March, reached seven per
cent last month.
TAYLOR ATTRIBUTED April's high
unemployment estimates - about
523,000 workers statewide - to con-
tinuing layoffs in the auto and manufac-
turing industries.
Last year at this time the Michigan
unemployment rate measured 8.6 per
cent.
According to Ronald McGraw,
Detroit MESC analyst, automobile-
affiliated industries are also suffering
big layoffs. "Transportation, equip-
ment, construction, and manufacturing
industries are being hit the hardest," he
said. Beverly Conklin, Ann Arbor
MESC Acting Manager, explained
rising unemployment is due to the
"domino effect."
THE FLINT Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area maintains the highest
increase in jobless rates at 17.4 per
cent, a considerable increase from the
March rate of 14.6 per cent.
Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, both
cities at 8.1 per cent, have the lowest
unemployment rates among
Michigan's 13 major labor market
areas.
Ann Arbor is third at 8.2 per cent and
East Lansing is fourth at 9.9 per cent.

towns provide more employment
