The Board of Regents approved the increase at.its June meeting. Tuition for a Michigan resident is now $100 per semester and $235 for a non-resident student.- Last increase in fees was in 1953 when tuition was raised to $90 for residents and $215 for non-resi- dents. Expect 1,250 More Students Combined with an expected fall enrollment of 19,750, the increase in fees is expected to bring an ad- ditional $400,000 to the University. Income from student fees and oth- er sources will be increased from $5;824,000 in 1954-55 to $6,488,- 400 for 1955-56. Along with a state appropriation of $23,725,000, the increase made possible a General Funds Budget for University Operations of $30;- 213,400 which the Regents ap- proved at their June meeting. The new budget is $3,336,404 larger than the 1954-55 budget. The state appropriation is $2,672,- 000 larger than that received from the Legislature in 1954-55. University President Harlan H. Hatcher reported that 89 new fac- ulty members will be added to the staff next year, bringing the total to 1,449. President Hatcher said fees at the University have changed from time to time but haven't kept pace with changes in the economy. The University has never been the top one in'fees, he said, but has kept near the top in fees at state sup- ported universities. Condenmation Proceedings Approved Also at the June meeting, the Regents gave authority to Univer- sity Vice-President Wilbur K. Pier- pont to proceed with legal conden- nation proceedings against prop- erty owners who have refused to sell at the appraisal price proper- ty needed for construction of the new Student Activities Building. Pierpont reported that nine of the 12 'lots needed had been Pur- chased. Total appraised value of the property was approximately $300,000. The property is located directly south of the Student Pub- lications Building. Funds Bill WASHINGTON - The Senate passed unanimously late yester- day a $31,882,000,000 military funds bill.

Off-Campus Programs Courses in all of the University's President Peron May Join Junta By The Associated Press BUENOS AIRES - Most of Buenos Aires yesterday had an outward air of normalcy-under strict control of the armed forces. The military were instructed by their supreme commander, Army Minister Maj. Gen. Franklin Lu- cero, to maintain order and sup- press rumor-mongering. Reports indicated that a three- man military junta would replace Peron as dictator, but that Peron would be a member of the junta. schools and colleges will be offered on campus and. additional pro- grams will be in progress at var- ious University camps. The Bio- logical Station near Cheboygan will be in- operation as will Camp Cusino, the geography camp near Shingleton in the Upper Penin- sula. Other camps open will be Camp Filibert Roth, Camp of the Regernt's A New Parking Plan i I" Charges for parking in University parking lots were approved by the Board of Regents at its June meeting. A flexible program designed to meet divergent needs was adopt- ed. Eligible persons may either obtain a year'$ permit for $25 or make use of meters that will be installed on all University lots in the campus area not requiring a permit. Rates of five cents for each two hours or 25 cents for all day have been set. University Vice-President Wilbur K. Pierpont was granted au- thority to work out additional details in the program and make minor adjustments as conditions change. Regulations on the use of the metered lots will be developed, this summer. They will be open to non-permit holders, visitors, stu- dents and others. Faculty Vote Split A vote of the faculty taken at the May 23 F.acuity Senate meet- ing showed 155 voting for a charge for a parking permit, 146 in favor of meters and five who voted for neither. Pierpont said at the Regents' meeting that some who work at the University drive regularly while others drive but one or twice a week. The ,parking plan recommended to the Regents and adopted. was designed to accommodate drivers in both groups.' Adoption of the plan was the first step in a program for improv- ing parking facilities in the main campus area, long a perplexing problem here and on other campuses. 'U' Plans Structure A second step, to get under way soon, is the planning of a park* ing structure, with construction tentatively scheduled for 1956. Rev- enue from the permits and the meters will be sufficient, it. is believed, to permit a start of construction during 1956. The action followed a long study on the parking problem. A con- tinuation of the program is hoped to allow a gradual enlargement of parking facilities on the campus. The charge for parking permits and the use or parking meters will be limited to areas of the main campus. No study has been given.

University faculty members and visiting faculty;from colleges and universities throughout the U. S. will staff the Summer Session which will close August 13. Enrollment F igure Hits 6200 Point' Summer Session classes com- menced yesterday, with 6,228stu dents enrolled in local campus courses and nearly 1,800 attend- ing classes at eight summer camps. The figure marks an increase of 469 over last summer. A large number of the Summer Session students are teachers ful- filling requirements of their teaching certificates, according to Prof. Willard C. Olson, Dean of the School of Education. Under Michigan law, students graduating *th bachelors degrees receive "provisional" teaching-cer- tificates. In order to get a perma- nent certificate, the teacher must return to school for ten hours of additional work. Of ti. e two thousand or more teachers here in the summer, many return to school because "four years is insufficient time to prepare a professional person," Dean Olson explained. { Complete breakdown of enroll- ment by schools and colleges will not be compiled until next week when latecomers are rregistered, according to Prof, N. Edd. Miller, assistant director of the Summer By JIM DYGERT Construction workers of Laborf ers Local 959, AFL, voted lasts night to reject a nine-cent pAy raise and resume their week-old strike that has halted all construc- tion in Washtenaw County. Pickets were planned for con- struction sites this morning. Pick- ets had been withdrawn yesterday after a tentative agreement be- tween union officials and tha Washtenaw Contractors Associa- tion over the week-end. A difference of three cents saep arted contractors and workers since the walkout last Tuesday The contractors offered an eight- cent raise retroactive to MayI with another two-cent hike ef- fective Nov. 1. But the union de- manded 11 cents. Vote 119 to 87 for Strike Last night's vote, taken in an atmosphere of heated tempers and hot, humid air at the Labo all at 208 W. Liberty St., showed work- ers in favor of holding out for the 11-cent boost by 119 to 87 wih seven ballots void. Union officials and the contra- tors group had come to a tenta- tive agreement on a nine-cent raise retroactive to May 1 and a one- year contract in a 17hour sessie in Circuit Court. Circuit Judge James R. Breakey, Jr.,, rdered'the session Saturda morning when union officials ap- peared to protest the contractors petition for an injuntio agaIgt. the strike. Judge Breakey refused to d cuss the contractors' contenti that the strike was illegal and Or dered both sides Into negatio's until an agreement Was reache "Waiting Our Time But union member last i refused to accept the agreemnt One worker said, "We'd have been wasting our time all week f e accepted this offer. They're no giving us anything." All construction in' the county was halted last week when other workers refused to cross picket lines. Among the construction proJets affected are the University's' North Campus, the Union addition, the new county courthouse, Ann A bor High School, a hospital and several student housing building. Pay Raise Only Obstacle Lone remaining disagreement between the workers and the con- tractors concerns the pay raise. The contractors agreed to unin demands for three cents in health and welfare and a one-year con tract. The contractors also offered another ten-cent pay increase in May, 1956. Laborers currently draw $2.29 an. hour. They are asking for $2.40. An internal dispute ocurred n. the union last week after a union official had tentatively approved the contractors' offer. Reports' that the strike was to be settled were dispelled by the union's bui- ness agent, Lloyd Clickner, who said "the workers find the, offer unacceptable." Vaccine Program' Will Be Continued Michigan will proceed with its polio immunization program as soon as the vaccine becomes avail- able again, Dr. Albert E. Heustis, State health commissioner, said recently. When the Salk vaccine becomes available in 30 days or more, Dr Heustis said, the State will spend the two million dollars appropria- ted by the Legislature for its pur- chase. First to receive it will be chil- dren aged five to nine. Alumni Awards Summer Daily Invites New Staffers day.
