The Michigan Daily-Saturday, July 31, 1982-Page 3 SCHEDULED CUTS IN BUDGET A VER TED 'U' marine center to By FANNIE WEINSTEIN The University's Great Lakes and Marine Waters Center will receive most, if not all, of the funds it has requested from an Ann Arbor-based federally-funded research program, according to Alfred Beeton, the center's director. The center stood to lose a $200,000 grant from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. The laboratory, which operates in Michigan as part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was scheduled to be closed by the Reagan administration. BUT A HOUSE of Representatives subconmittee this week approved the laboratory's 1983 budget of more than $3.6 million. The appropriations bill still awaits full House, Senate, and presidential approval. I'd assume that we'd be receiving our funding in the area we requested," said Beeton, who is also a University professor of atmospheric and oceanic science. Although the final figures have not been set, Beeton said he expects the lab's grant to be in the range of $200,000. The lab employs 90 full-time research scientists and part-time assistants, many of whom are students at the University of Michigan or at Eastern Michigan University. THE LAB works on a number of research projects, ranging from monitoring the water level of the lakes to studying ways to navigate the lakes during the win- ter. When the Reagan administration's proposal was first announced, Beeton said the hardest-hit project would be a cooperative program between the lab and the center to study the damaging introduction of toxic materials to the lakes. The project now will be able to continue. The lab was opened in1974 and is the only inland research lab studying the Great Lakes, according to biological technician Mike Quigley, who has worked at the lab for five years. hceive grant "WE ARE THE last of the federal laboratories doing research on the Great Lakes," Quigley said. "We do lake-wide projects," he added. "It's a massive program. It's not something that state governements would be willing to take over." The lab would not have been the first of its kind to be closed down over the past few years. The gover- nment has cut off funds to Argonne National Laboratories and the Great Lakes Basin Com- mission. According to Quigley, elimination of the lab would have had more than an environmental impact. "From an employment viewpoint, we have 50 per- manent employees and about 40 part-time," he said. From the time the lab first learned it might be closed, there was a great deal of uncertianty, Quigley said. "At the very beginning we weren't quite sure what to expect, but we were hopeful that it would be restored to full funding." "We're about three-quarters of the way there," he added. Leo Kelly sentencing postponed By LOU FINTOR Washtenaw County Circuit Court Judge Ross Campbell postponed the sentencing of convicted killer Leo Kelly at the request of Kelly's defense attor- ney. Campbell set August 13 as the new sentencing date. Washtenaw County Prosecutor Brian Mackie said the two-week delay was made as a courtesy to defense attorney William Waterman, who made an unexpected trip to Denver. Waterman was expected back late yesterday evening. KELLY IS facing two consecutive life sentences for conviction on two counts of first degree murder. After senten- cing, Kelly will be sent to the Michigan State Correctional facility in Jackson for evaluation and assignment to one of the state's prisons. He will remain in Washtenaw County Jail until then. Kelly, a 23-year-old native of Detroit, was convicted June 21 of fatally shooting Douglas McGreaham, 21, of Caspian, and Edward Siwik, 19, of Detroit, in the Bursley dormitory where they all resided. The Washtenaw County Circuit Court jury rejected Kelly's insanity plea after only two days of deliberation. Defense attorney Waterman is appealing Kelly's conviction of the April 1981 murders. "ANYONE convicted of a felony automatically has the right of appeal to the court of appeals," Mackie said, ad- ding, "That doesn't mean anything." "You can never say that a case is 'appeal-proof' but I'm confident that we'll win it on appeal," Mackie said. Campbell will sentence Kelly based on the recommendations of a state parole board, after which Kelly will be given an opportunity to address the court. "It's safe to say he (Kelly) will be sentenced to prison, but whether he serves a number of years depends on the appellate (appeals) process," Mackie explained.
