The Michigan Daily Vol. XCIll No. 17-S Ann Arbor, Michigan - Thursday, June 16, 1983 Ten Cents Sixteen Pages Tuition hike estimated at 8-10% By CHERYL BAACKE A top University official said he will recommend an 8 to 10 percent tuition increase for 1983-84 at the mon- thly Board of Regents meeting which begins today. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye said at least an 8 percent hike is necessary to pay faculty salaries and utilities. "I DO NOT see any possible way, given the parameter of the situation, that (the increase) could be less than 8 percent," Frye said. "We are struggling very hard not to go above 10 percent." Tuition increased 15 percent last year and 18 per- cent in 1981, to offset cuts in state funding. But state appropriations to the University for 1983- 84 are expected to increase by $13.6 million, which Frye said would help keep tuition increases less than 10 percent. THE STATE Senate passed Governor James Blan- chard's proposed $761 million budget for 1983-84, which included a 9 percent increase to the University. The state House must approve the proposal before it can go into effect. The University would receive $158.2 million under the proposed budget, which is a $13.6 million boost from last year. Although the University was slated for $150.2 million from the state, Blanchard cut $5.8 million from the University early this year, which has made administrators reluctant to rely on state funds. Frye said the 9 percent increase is a positive step, but it doesn't compensate for an estimated 25 percent See TUITION, Page 2 Summer nights Beachcombers linger on a Lake Michigan beach in Grand Haven trying to soak day's catch.
