'U' to freeze in-state tuition
By KERY MURAKAMI
University President Harold Shapiro said
yesterday that he will recommend to the Board
of Regents that the University freeze tuition for
in-state students.
The regents are scheduled to take a formal
vote on tuiton at their meeting tomorrow.
Shapiro, after returning from meetings with
University executive officers and regents in
Bay City this weekend, said he will comply with
a request by Gov. James Blanchard to freeze
tuition for Michigan residents for the second
year in a row, "in support of the continuing ef-
fort of the governor and the state legislature in
regaining the ground we have lost in state fun-
ding for higher education the past 15 years."
SHAPIRO explained that while the level of
state support for the University dropped from
60 percent of the University's operating budget
in 1975 to 47.5 percent in 1983, the state in-
creased its share to about 50 percent last year.
The move to freeze in-state tuition comes two
weeks after state budget director Robert Naf-
taly threatened to recommend a veto of some of
the increases in funding for higher education
unless state colleges and universities freeze in-
state tuition or increase it "just barely."
Last year, the University did not raise in-
state tuition, although tuition for non-Michigan
residents jumped 7 percent.
SHAPIRO DID not say how much out-of-
state tuition would have to be increased to
compensate for the freeze, but he said the
University would have to decide between
raising tuition by as much as 10 percent or
raising it by 8 percent and making about $2.5
million; in cuts from a tentative budget prevented
to the regents Monday.
Shapiro, however, said that his "own personal

A woman was raped in her home in
the 1000 block of South Forest Ave.
early yesterday morning by a man
who police suspect raped another
woman and attacked two others in the
campus area.
The man entered the home in the
1000 block of S. Forest through an
unlocked window, stuffed something
in the woman's mouth, tied her hands
and behind her back, and raped her
around 4:30 am. yesterday, said Sgt.
Jan Suomala of the Ann Arbor Police
Department.
THE SUSPECT is described by
police as a white male in his 20s, 6-feet
tall, 175-180 pounds, with brown hair.
Police suspect the latest sexual
assault was committed by the same
man who raped a woman in the 1200
block of East University July 7. The
man is also suspected of attempting to
rape a woman in the 1200 block of
Cambridge July 7 and a 21-year-old
woman in a residence in the 1000 block
of East University June 2.
The woman who was attacked in-
June was taking a shower when the
man tried to rape her, but she
frightened him off with her screams.
THE METHOD of operation was
essentially the same in all four cases,
