The Michigan Daily-Friday, July 17, 1981-Page 7 Regents to vote on tuition today (Continued from Page 1) salary program. Any reduction in either of those would reduce the salary program even more, he said. "Any rise in tuition would only mean we will fall less short of the goal we should be aiming for," he said. UNIVERSITY President Harold Shapiro said that if this year held the same sort of disastrous state ap- propriation, it would mean a rapid reduction of programs. "We were hoping to give ourselves a year to digest what (program cuts) we've already (lone," he said. "We shall continue to do all we possibly can to con- tinue a controlled retrenchment program," said Frye, but cutting more programs now in an effort to head off such a large tuition hike would be dangerous and inadvisable. "Are we making it easier for the state to cut back" in their appropriation by raising tuition, asked Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline). Right now, he said, the burden on the student is the lack of state funds that drives up tuition. THE REGENTS have held to the idea of "smaller but better" and the decision should keep with the idea, said Roach. '"I'm not sure the market is elastic enough" to accommodate the increase, he said. Roach noted that the proposed tuition increase comes on the heels, of other fee hikes, such as the mandatory health service fee, Michigan Union renovations, and registration fees, adding that because of these, the fee increase for the student will actually be 19.2 percent if the 18 percent tuition hike is approved. Regent Baker took advantage of the opportunity and admonished his collegues for passing the fee assessments in the first place. "These were the things we could have deferred," he said. President Shapiro said he believed the increase would not repel good students. "We want to continue to attract the best students, and 18 percent is the outer limit," he said. In other business, the Regents approved the ap- pointment of Gideon Frieder as the chairman of the computer and communication sciences department at the University.
