'U' postpones decision

on tuitic
By KERY MURAKAMI
University students will have to
wait until the beginning of August to
find out how much they'll be paying
for tuition next fall.
The University's executive officers
decided last Wednesday to postpone
asking the Board of Regents to ap-
prove a University budget - in-
cluding any increases in tuition - un-
til the board's regularly scheduled
meeting Aug.1 and 2.
Administrators planned to call a
special meeting of the regents today
to adopt a budget, but delays by the
state legislature in deciding the

do was set the budget," said Roberta
Palmer, assistant vice president for
state relations.
Palmer said the University's ad-
ministrators had planned to have the
special meeting today, because they
hoped the legislature would make its
decision before the July 4 recess - as is
usually the case.
But Palmer, who has been
following the legislature's progress,
said it had become tied up in non-
budgetary matters - such as in-
creasing tax revenues to help pay for
renovating Cobo Hall - and did not
expect them to meet until tomorrow.
Depending on how much work the
legislators have done informally
during the recess, Palmer said the
University's state appropriations
could be decided on Wednesday, but
cautioned that it could stretch into
... delay not a problem next week.
