Police seek man after
on-campus stabbing
Police are investigating the
on-campus robbery and
stabbing of a CMU student,
who was treated and released
from Central Michigan
Community Hospital
Thursday.
The 20-year-old student was
stabbed in the buttocks twice
during an armed robbery at an
automatic teller machine booth
near Park Library.
The victim, who did not want
to be identified, said after he
made a transaction, at 3:30
a.m.. a 5-foot-l0-inch black
male in his mid-20's entered
the booth and took $10 from
him, said Capt. Ron Williams of
the Department of Public
Safety.
The man then demanded the
victim withdraw more money.
Williams said. When the victim
refused, the suspect stabbed
him twice and then ran from
the booth, Williams added.
End of the World damages haunt
local housing owner's pocketbooks
BY MARK LaROSA
LIFE Staff Writer
Students aren't the only ones who suffer hangovers after the End
of the World party.
Many apartment managers say they endure worse — and more
expensive — headaches than students after the traditional post-exam
festivities.
But their hangover doesn't wear off — it just trickles down to the
students eventually in higher rent payments.
At Edgewood Apartments, 712 Edgewood, management woke up to
an estimated $10,000 in courtyard damage after 1985's post-exam
party.
Amy Baker, resident manager of Edgewood, said her complex
received extensive damage during that incident, but has not had a
problem with party damage since.
"It was quite a mess. I'd say $10,000. . .It was a considerable
amount, other than that we haven't had that much," Baker said.
Police dispersed gatherings at Edgewood during the 1986 party.
Baker said she is hoping for police protection this year. She said if
the police cordon off Main Street, they agreed to include the Edgewood
area to prevent the party from moving there.
Michael Poff, part-owner of Concord apartments. 1110 W. Campus
Drive, said Concord receives about $4,000 worth of damage during
End ofthe World parties — usually including holes in walls, broken
windows, knocked-over bike racks and destruction of other private
property, he said.

Karl Johnson.   .1   commuter   student,   said   the  lack   of commuter
parking lots on the north end of campus was his biggest gripe.
"Most of my classes are on the north end of campus." Johnson,
Mount Pleasant senior, said. "There are no parking lots on the north
end for commuters. I basically park off campus or on the city street. I
usually get a ticket for $1 but dollars add up." he said.
Johnson suggested turning the empty lot at the corner of Bellows
and Franklin into a commuter lot. McAuliffe said he made this
recommendation to the University in the past but it was rejected.
In response to an audience member's concern about lot
overcrowding. McAuliffe said DPS sells decals to lots that are already
overcrowded because, "from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., (DPS) officers go to
residence lots to count empty spaces and determine more decals."
It also is hard for DPS to keep track ofthe number of decals sold

Unwanted news
Proposed funding formula frustrates University constituents
BY WAYNE KAMIDOI
For those directly concerned — like
CMU's Richard Miller and state Rep
Joanne Emmons — they realize you
con't always get what you want.
What rubs them the wrong way,
though, is who is getting what in the
recently proposed formula-funding
model for state colleges and universities.
"It's a classic example of someone
setting something up, and getting
exactly what they want," said 99th
District Rop. Emmons, R-Big Rapids, of
the newly-created model designed to
foster equity among the state's 15
higher-education institutions.
"There's a million different variations
a   formula   can   take,"   said   Miller,
executive assistant to the president for
governmental relations. "Anybody with
specific goals can formulate — in the
end — what they had in mind to start
with.
"What the Department of Management and Budget has proposed is not
what we had in mind," he added. "We
know it's bad news for Central
Michigan University."
What CMU had hoped for. Miller
said, is a funding model that would
close the gap in per-student state
funding. In 1986-87, Central ranked
last in per-student dollars among 12
similar state institutions.
The funding model divides $15
million between the 15 schools to
supplement a 3.4 percent across-the-
board inflation hike proposed in
January   by  Gov.   James   Blanchard.
(See accompanying chart.)
At Tui'sd.iv i- Academic Senate
meeting, President Arthur Ellis
described the model -- now being
discussed in .1 Mou-e -uh-eummittee —
as "the least .-ophi^tirated document in
the hi>tory i>f liiiniir.i: '
The proposed mn< lei :-. the result of an
analysis th.it vi^ed ;i comparison of
"nationwide peer iri-titutirins" and a
higher-education data base, which
Miller calls "insufficient."
Central is elated to receive an
additional <5(il.912 or a 1.2 percent
• ••      __~...-,i..... i., iK.. Cnrwlinp model.
If passed, the proposed allocation —
scheduled to meet House-floor vote by
the end of next week — actually widens
the inequity in per-student funding.
