braces for more cuts

budget-cut decisions through the in-
dividual departments' executive com-
mittees, Steiner said.
Additional plans for budget reduc-
tions are still in the early stages, he
said.
IN AN INTERVIEW last month,
University President Harold Shapiro
said that, although more retrenchment
is necessary for the University, cut-
backs will not have to be made as
rapidly as they were this past year.
"I think we're over the hump in the
sense of large, extremely rapid
reallocations (cuts)," Shapiro said.
"We are not over the hump in the sense
that there are more adjustments ahead,
of us (in the next five years) than
behind us. But I hope that these ad-
justments will not have to be accom-
plished in such a rapid time frame.
"Because of last year's state
budget," Shapiro explained, the
University had to move extremely
rapidly to cut back, and "you never do
as well if you move rapidly as you-do if
you have time for a more thoughtful
approach."
THERE MUST BE cutbacks in non-
academic support areas-areas such as
the Extension Service, the Botanical
Gardens, Michigan Media-Shapiro
said. "It probably will be true that the
non-academic areas will have more
than their share of adjustments," he
said. "Perhaps, therefore, the
academic areas will be shielded
somewhat."
"I don't think what we have (at the
University) is perfect," Shapiro con-
tinued. "I don't think that the strength
in the various academic departments is
uniformly of the same quality. We have
some extremely excellent cademic
departments and we have some depar-
Steiner
... decisions hard but not impossible
tments that are not yet extremely ex-
cellent. Thus, I think that some
judgment is called for (in deciding
where to make cuts)," he said.
SPECIFICALLY, Shapiro explained,
the - University has been trying to
strengthen its programs in the natural
sciences within LSA "because we felt
on the whole that we needed
strengthening in some of those areas."
Increases arealso planned for finan-
cial aid programs. "I expect tuition to
continue to increase (with inflation),"
Dean Steiner said. "The amount of
financial assistance will need to in-
crease accordingly."
The dean is currently seeking out-
side, private sources for scholarship
assistance and, he said, he hopes to
soon announce some new programs
available to students with financial
need.

United Press International reports
French arrive home from Iran
PARIS-Fifty-seven French citizens flew home from Iran yesterday,
leaving behind about 60 others also ordered out of the country by the French.
government because of worsening relations between Paris and Tehran.
France gave a subdued welcome to the citizens who arrived at Orly Air-
port last night aboard an Iran Air flight from Tehran, where they had been
denied permission to leave for five days.
French officials greeted the evacuees, who made no comments, apparen-
tly following a government request to remain quiet until the remaining
French nationals return home.
President Francois Mitterrand last Wednesday told the 144 French
nationals living in Iran to return home "temporarily" because of demon-
strations in Tehran over the French government's refusal to extradite for-
mer Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, who escaped to Paris July 29.
"We were absolutely not treated Ike the American hostages," said one
passenger on the Iran Air plane that landed in Paris after a brief refueling
stop in Frankfurt, West Germany. The flight from Tehran left 80 minutes
late because of technical reasons.
Environmentalists clash
with Soviet gunship
LOS ANGELES-An expedition of environmentalists hoping to confront a
Russianwhaling ship in the Bering Sea was chased back into American
waters Sunday night by a Soviet gunship and armed helicopter.
The Sea Shepherd, an old cod trawler carrying 29 anti-whaling environ-
mentalists from five countries, was retreating at full speed, the ship's
American contacts said in Los Angeles.
The environmentalists said a helicopter emblazoned with a red star cir-
cled over the Sea Shepherd as it sailed in Russian waters off the coast of
Siberia and dropped red flares onto the bow of the ship, which is on a bold
expedition to stop. Soviets from catching California grey whales.
Reagan reassures governors
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.-The Regan administration moved yesterday to
assure the nation's governors Washington will help adjust to problems caused
by round one of federal budget cuts, and is ready to consult them on round
two.
The administration sought to cement the partnership formed with the
governors on the budget cuts by pledging to set up a "fast track" to help cut
red tape on a wide range of social, agricultural, transportation and commer-
ce programs.
Reagan sent Health and Human Resources Secretary Richard Schweiker
and a half-dozen undersecretaries from several departments to carry the
olive branch to the governors' summer meeting.
Vice President George Bush will address the closing session today.
Fires scorch western states
Forest fires raced unchecked across 80,000 acres of timber and brushland
in five Western states yesterday, chasing hundreds of people from their
homes and sending at least 35 buildings up in smoke.
Some 2,000 firefighters were battling the blazes in hot, dry weather that
sent temperatures soaring into the 100s in Oregon and California.
Effatic gale-force winds and record heat helped fuel the flames that
pushed across parts of California, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and Utah.
Northern California was worst hit, with fires flaring up i a half dozen
locations. Near Lakeport in Lake County, an 18,000-acre blaze seared a 13-
mile football shaped path to the outskirts of the vacation community, where
as army of 700 state forestry firefighters and local help turned it back in an
all-night battle.
Europe reacts to
U.S. neutron decision
BONN, West Germany-President Reagan's surprise decision to
manufacture neutron weapons split Western Europe yesterday.
West Germany's ruling party took a stand against allowing the weapon on
German soil, but the opposition party applauded the U.S. decision. The
British government expressed "understanding" for the Reagan move, while
its chief opposition denounced it. And the Dutch leadership chided
Washington for not consulting its allies abut the issue well in advance. ,
In the Dutch capital of The Hague, about 30 young protesters demon-
strated for an hour outside the U.S. embassy, carrying placards reading,
"Stop the Neutron Bomb, Stop the Nuclear Arms Race." A brief protest was
held outside the U.S. Embassy in London.
He declined to be drawn into depicting a situation in which the warhead
would be used, or whether th United States would be the first to fire it. But
he repeatedly emphasized its deterrence as opposed to its combat value.
The Soviet Union warned Europeans they could be the first victims of
nuclear war and said even a limited nuclear conflict would annihilate entire
nations.
