2 - The Michigan Daily Sumner WeeWy - Wednesday, July 21, 1993 TuffION Continued from page 1 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. -Daily Editor in Chief Hope Calati contributed to this report. light budi to higher' By JEN DIMASCIO DALY NEWS EDITOR 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.

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. THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BALLROOM DANCECLUB Starting in May, we meet at the Student Union every Sunday night to dance the Swing, Fox Trot, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba, Tango, Mambo, Quickstep, and other dances. Come at sevenfor a beginning lesson Come in at eight for general dancing Come alone or with a partner Come only once or every week Any questions? Call 668-2491 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. gets lead tuitions increase is classes required for gradu- ation close to students who need them. At the University of Michigan, $50 will be added to each student's now $100 infrastructure maintanence fee. 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. Deficitproblemsin Califomiahave led tolBerkeley's22.2percentincrease. 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. 0 0 I I termsbystuentsatthe UlversityeofMichgan. Oscampspsubscripis forsprig/susmertemarselvaibe for $10.
