The University Board of Regents
approveda$5risein fees for the 1993-
94 school year in a preview of tuition
changes that will be approved next
month.
A fee increase for Michigan Stu-
dent Assembly and Student Health
Service were among the proposals ap-
proved by the University Board of
Regents at its monthly meeting. The
MSAfeewasraised35centstoatotal
of $6.62 and the health service fee was
raised $4.64to a totalof $92per term.
MSA was also granted a separate
line item on tuition bills for Student
Legal Services (SLS). MSA proposed
the financial separation of SLS from
MSA as a first step in placing SLS'
finances in the hands of the regents.
Student Legal Services provides free
legaladvicetostudents,mainlyinland-
lord-tenant disputes.
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle
Creek) praised the decision, saying,
"Facing up to the responsibility of be-
ing fiscally responsible is commend-
able"She added the regents will in no
way determine the SLS board.

raise fees for student services

MSA President Craig Greenberg
said the new funding structure will
strengthen both the assembly and SLS.
"Currently SLS must always be con-
cerned about its funding through a
leadership that changes twice a year."
The assembly will reassess SLS'
financial situation and examine the
possibility of raising the SLS fee.
Greenberg submitted a proposal to the
regents which predicted an eventual
rise in the separate SLS fee to $4.30 to
covers 5-percentpay raise, the hiring
of a fourth attorney and other costs.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar-
bor)invoked the creation of SLS in his
opposition to the split. "At that time,
the idea was that it was a student orga-
nizationandstudentgenerated,"Baker
said.
Baker said SLS should remain un-
der student control. "They're either
supervised by the students or super-
visedby theUniversity.)Idon'tseeany
middle ground."
The 35-cent fee increase for MSA
was approved by students in the last
election. The increase will fund a stu-
dent lobbying group, the Michigan
Collegiate Coalition, for one year.

Regent Paul Brown (D-Mackinac
Island), who supported a temporary
split, said, "Allyou'd be doing is trans-
ferring it to the Board of Regents.
You're not getting ridof the problem."
Maureen Hartford, vice president
for student affairs, said she and MSA
leaders requested the split because,
"Our concern is that it looks less and
less like a student organization."

SLS Director Douglas Lewis ap-
plaudedthemove,saying, "Hopefully,
it is.the first in a series of changes that
will make us better." He said more
students will know about SLS if they
see it on their tuition bills and that the
move will separate SLS from the poli-
tics of MSA.
UniversityHospitals' $589million
operating expense budget, calling for

no increase, was passed by theregents.
John Forsythe, executive director of
University Hospitals, said the budget
was a "transitional" budget bridging
the current system of funding medical
costs and Hillary Rodham Clinton's
yet-to-be-announced health care plan.

Lights are being added along the
south entrance to Bursley Residence
Hallandalongthepaththatcutsthrough
the wooded area across the street from
the entrance on Duffield Street. In
addition, broken and bumt-out lamps
along the same path will be repaired.
DPS Lt. Vein Baisden, chair of the
campus safety committee, said that a
*direct line for the electric shop is being
establishedsothatstudentswillbeable
to call in their recommendations for
lighting repairs in the future.

in lots NC 29, located off Hayward
StreetbehindtheSpaceResearchlBuild-
ing,andNC46,acommuterlotlocated
off McIntyre Road.
* "Public Safety opted tohavelights
installed to shine through the wooded
areas around these lots, along with a
widening ofthepathway forpersons to
pass alongside one another, if rushed.
These changes should make this area
safer in the future," Betts added.
He explained that the only com-
plaints of crimes in these lots have
been arecent number of tire slashings
* in the Northwood parking area, but he
said the problem is being looked into
for future safety.
Betts alsonotedthatduring Winter
Term, DPS received numerous com-

plaints about poor lighting in parking
lotNC52behindtheChildCareCenter

Consequently, DPS staffed the lot

checks are made by officers on night
security watches throughallof the lots.

All recommendations for lighting im-
provements and repairs are then sent to
the campus electric shop.
LSA junior Viviane Younan, co-
coordinator of Northwalk, a nighttime
safety walking service, said that stu-
dentcoordinatorsareawareoflighting
problems.
"During Northwalk interviewing
the lighting issue comes up often. We

get lots of feedback from our student
volunteers. We place complaints with
DPS all of the time concerning burnt-
out lights and recommendations for
more lighting," Younan said.
LotNC 19,located behindthe Aero-
space Engineering Building off
Hayward Street, willibe expanded this
year andlighting changes are presently
being made in this lot.
