was instituted in 1991 to pay for build-
ing damage that results from natural
use. The total fee this year is $150.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar-
bor)criticized the budget architects for
not including the infrastructure fee in
the tuition increase. The total tuition
increase, including the infrastructure
maintenance fee,is 11.8percent forin-
state students and 7.7 percent for out-
of-state students.
"I'd rather we say we're raising the
cost of the institution 12 percent in-
stead of breaking them apart."
RegentPhilPower(D-AnnArbor)
supported the separate infrastructure
fee because the regents have a duty of
stewardship to the University.
"I think that that's a wholly appro-
priate expenditure, and it is truth in
advertising," Power said.
Baker, the only regent to vote
against the budget, said, "I'm not go-
ing to support this because I really
think wehave to findsome way to stop
it... The only way to stop tuition rises
is to stop tuition rises."
Regent James Waters (D-
Muskegon) said, "I wish we could
have the same quality without the in-
crease, but it's impossible to do that."
ROCK
Continued from page 1
The Oxbridge Neighborhood As-
sociation, the group that initiated the
drive to remove the Rock, was only
partially satisfied with the PACresolu-
tion.
"Our objective was toget the atten-
tion of the community and the Parks
commission," Oxbridge President Pe-
ter Pleitner said. "We hope, however,
therewillbeconsequencesiftheareais
still a problem in December".
Michigan Student Assembly Vice
President Brian Kight cautioned stu-
dents to respect the resolution.
"If we don't pitch in, there's even
more of a risk that the city will do
something wedon'tlikewith the Rock,"
Kight said.

WhileGov.JohnEnglerand the the
state Legislature may be easy scape-
goats for tuitionincreasesatMichigan's
state universities, public universities
a und the nation face similar con-
st aints on education budgets.
In Ohio, the state legislature estab-
lished a 5-percent increase limit. The
Ohio State University (OSU)increased
tuition the maximum amount.
Steve Sterret, director of news ser-
vices at OSU, said, "Faculty and staff
have gone two years without a salary
increase."
Sterret said the toughest part of the

the Pell Grants," he said.
The Office of Financial Aid has
estimated that an in-state student will
have to budget $11,200 to pay for all
expensesinthe1993-94academicyear.
Faculty members will be rewarded
for their participation in the "shared
sacrifice" budget of last year, which
frozefacultysalaries.Eachdepartment
will receive a 2.5-percent increase in
its budget for merit raises.
The Committee on the Economic
Status of the Faculty recommended
that the regents make salary increases
a high priority.
Committee Chair Prof. John
Tropmansaid,"We'recertainly pleased
that there is a salary program this year,
and we're sorry that it always gets
linked with tuition." He noted that the
both tuition and salaries are set at the
begining of the fiscal year.

Tropman said although faculty
members were willing to sacrifice for
one year, problems may have arisen
had there been no increase this year.
"Michigan has a number of things
that are attractive ... not just salary,"
Tropmansaid."Theproblem,ofcourse,
is that the people with the most talent
go elsewhere."
The University withheld the bud-
get until the moming of the vote.
Michigan Student Assembly Vice
President Brian Kight addressed the
regents, "If this does not violate the
letter of the Open Meetings Act, it
certainly violates the spirit."
Whitaker replied later that the bud-
get should have been made available.
"It was a bad decision. I hope we
learned from our decisions."
MSA President Craig Greenberg
said, also in public comments to the
regents, "I am afraid that if tuition
continues to rise at the rate it has been,
Michigan will cease to be one of the
best deals in higher education."
University PresidentJamesDuder-
stadt defended the budget saying that
the University has worked to keep the
cost down and that the University has
the lowest percentage of administra-
tive costs for peer institutions.

At the University of Michigan, $50

Officials at both Michigan State Uni-
versity and the University of Califor-
nia-Berkeley said the cost of an educa-
tion at their universities is higher next
year to repair campus facilities.

Bob Sanders, Berkeley's public
information spokesperson, said,
"We've tried to offset some of the
increase in financial aid but some stu-
dents always fall in between."
CONSTRUCTION
Continued from page 1
The construction is expected to
aggravate parking at North Campus.
"Parking is bad as it is right now.
Parking will become a huge problem
this fall," Senger said.
"The new construction sites will
affect only staff-paid lots," said Diane
DeLaTorre, coordinator for customer
services for University parking ser-
vices.
She added that more new student
parking spaces have been installed this
summer through reconfiguration of
existing lots than will be displaced by
the construction. In addition, the Uni-
versity is considering a plan to con-
struct a parking structure near the new
facilities.
The almost-completed three-story
Francois Xavier Bagnoud Building,
located next to the Aerospace Engi-
neering Building, will house the Uni-
versity aerospace engineering depart-
ment. The $12.5 million facility will
contain offices, laboratories and class-
rooms and aspecialized aerospace en-
gineering library. Itis being funded by
the Bagnoud family in honor of their
deceased son, a University alum.
