'U' Director
leaves for WSU
University Director of State
Relations Roberta Palmer will
become vice president for gov-
ernmental affairs at Wayne State
University on May 16, WSU
President David Adamany said
yesterday in a press release.
Robin Jacoby, the University's
interim assistant to the president,
said the search for Palmer's re-
placement has not yet begun.
Palmer's responsibilities will be
divided among University Vice
President for Government Rela-
tions, Richard Kennedy, and his
staff until a replacement is found,
Jacoby said.
"Everyone is sorry to see her
go, but at the same time pleased
that she has this opportunity for
such a major position at another
institution," Jacoby said.

Minority internships
Six locai minority high school
students with an interest in sei-
ence or medicine will gain hands-
on experience by participating in a
summer internship program
sponsored by the Medical School.
The program, headed by Mar-
garet Woodbury, assistant Medical
School dean for student and mi-
nority affairs, will match students
with their areas of interest,
including cancer research, radiol-
ogy and surgery.
Students in the program will
work full-time in the lab-for eight
weeks and learn basic laboratory
techniques before conducting ex-
periments under the supervision of
University Hospital staff.
Jim Anderson, a student at
Ann Arbor's Pioneer High School
who worked in a cancer research
lab for the past two summers, said
that he "really enjoyed the experi-
ence," which helped him to clarify
his career goals.

Budget update
The University would receive a
state funding increase of two per-
cent, rather than the 11 percent
hike it requested earlier this week
under a bill passed Wednesday by
the state Senate - a decision
which could mean steep tuition
hikes next fall.
The University's final budget
allotment will depend on the state
House appropriations bill, ex-
pected in July. Any differences
between the two will be worked
out in a joint committee and pre-
sented to both houses for ap-
proval.
University officials lobbied for
its funding proposal before the
House Higher Education Sub-
committee Tuesday, but Richard
Kennedy, University vice presi-
dent for government relations, said
he expects the House's proposed
budget increase to be no more
than two or three percent.
The gap between the Univer-
sity's requested budget and the fi-
nal state allocation will have to be
made up through a combination of
budget cuts and tuition increases,
Kennedy said.
The Senate's proposed alloca-
tion was larger than governor
James Blanchard suggested last
January. Sen. Harry Gast (R-St.
Joseph), chair of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, said
Blanchard's proposal was insuffi-
cient to meet Michigan's schools'
basic needs.
