Gov. wants tuition freeze

By KERY MURAKAMI
Gov. James Blanchard yesterday urged
board members of the state's universities
and colleges to "do everything possible to
freeze tuition for Michigan students."
Blanchard, in a letter sent to the board
members yesterday, did not mention a
warning by state budget director Robert
Naftaly last week that the governor may
veto parts of the state higher education

budget, which was passed by the
legislature last month, if the schools do
not freeze in-state tuition this fall.
BUT TOM Scott, deputy press secretary
for the governor, said yesterday that
Blanchard is "very concerned" about the
cost of higher education in the state, and a
veto is possible.
"The University of Michigan is one of
the three most expensive public univer-

sities in the country," Scott noted.
Blanchard, in the letter, claimed that the
state's appropriations increases to the
schools, which range from between 11 and
13 percent, is more than enough to make
up the cost of inflation. The University
received a 13 percent hike this year.
University administrators, however,

They don't sell art.

and roll. But they always draw a crowd.
THE HARE Krishnas are a point of acute
fascination to art fair crowds.
"There's a real need for this kind of knowled-
ge," said Kirishna, Anthony Ellis, pointing to his
table full of books about everything from rein-
carnation to vegetarian cooking.
"Even if people are not interested in Krishna
consciousness, people are interested in different
facets of it," he said.
"Some people take us as token and think that
looking at us is neat," he said, but "but most
people are courteous and interested."
Yesterday morning, all sorts of people stopped
by the Krishna booth on State Street across from
North University.
A small boy turns away and tells Ellis to
"forget it," after Ellis offers him a free book.
Middle-aged women stop at the table to browse
through the collection. A man from Wisconsin of-
fers a $1 contribution. As the man is leaving,
Ellis offers him a coupon for a free vegetarian
meal that the Krishnas give every Sunday.
"It's a real relaxed atmosphere. We don't bolt

Judge to
decide
sorority
case soon
By SUSAN GRANT
Third District Court Judge Edward
Deake yesterday promised attornies
on both sides of the Collegiate Sorosis
debate that he would deliver a written
decision within 28 days about whether
the sorority will be allowed to move
into the Burns Park area.
At the hearing, Deake heard
arguments by attornies for the North
Burns Park Association, the city of
Ann Arbor, and the Collegiate Sorosis
sorority.
THE NORTH Burns Park
Association filed suit against the city
and the sorority after the Ann Arbor
City Council approved the sorority's
site plan on June 5 for a 4,400-foot ad-
dition to 903 Lincoln.
