LIFE Ass't. Newt Editor
Student Bodyi President Mike
Fraser found a microphone hidden
behind a painting in his office while
moving in Friday, his first day as
president. At this time, there is no
clear explanation of who planted
the microphone or why.    j
The microphone is the type
used in portable cassette recorders, according to Tim Webb, of
Educational Media Services, who
was called over to Student
Government offices in the lower
level of the UC at the request of
Jerry Quick, associate director of
Auxiliary Services.
Quick was called by Fraser,
Lansing senior, after the
microphone win discovered.
Black tape connected the
microphone to telephone cable. The
cable went through a partition in
the wall of Fraser'* office, then was
taped to the ceiling. From there, It
was .taped to a corner of a wall in
the outer Student Government
offices. The cable ended underneath the desk of Media Information Services, where the
eable was cut, near a telephone
outlet.
The microphone and the
telephone cable were removed by
Det. Sgt. Leslie Bonstelle of the
Department of Public Safety, who
is investigating the incident.
Bonstelle said officials of
General Telephone would be called
in totjay to see j! they have any
information.
Webb, however, said he
doubted the phone company would
know anything about the
"bugging".
"My guess is somebody picked
up some telephone cable around
campus. There is a lot of it laying
around. It was so amateurish job,"
Webb said.
Fraser took over as president,
following Vicki Bazan's resignation
Thursday due to illness.
Fraser was arranging furniture when he noticed the
microphone behind the painting.
"I was totally floored when I
saw it," he said.
Both Fraser and Baxan
speculated the "bogging" was
connected to events surrounding
the resignation of former Student
Body President Doug Thomas last
semester.
Thomas said he knew of no one
who would have tried to "bug" him:-
"Nobody' I know would stoop that
low," Thomas said.
Thomas resigned in February
after admitting he had used money
from a special student association
discretionary fund for personal
reasons. Former Student Body
Treasurer Chuck Korn, Student
Body Vice President Steve Davis,
Media Information Service
Director Dave Demers, junior class ■
representative Jim Cambridge,
and Laura Mohl, Public Interest
Research Group in Michigan
(PIRGIM) representative also
resigned during the same time
period.
Both Bazan, contacted in St.
Joseph where she is recuperating
from mononucleosis, and Fraser
said they had theories on who
placed the microphone in the office,
but did not name the person
because they were not sure.
"It was set up for a definite
purpose, but not for Vicki (Bazan)
or me. My guess it is somebody no
longer involved with student
government," Fraser said.
Both said they felt it was
someone who was involved in
student government.
Bonstelle said there is little
chance of finding who placed the
microphone in the office at this
time. "There is no hard evidence. It
could have, been placed there six
weeks ago, six months ago, or six
years ago."

Donations may exceed goal
by SHARONJOHNSON
CM LIFE Reporter
United Way Fund Drive
coordinators say collection tallies
from last week's Isabella County
drive should exceed designated
goals, but due to late returns final
figures, will not be available until
sometime this week.
As of Sunday, $52,042.'had
been collected in .Isabella County.
This . figure includes about
$1,121.22 in cash and pledges
collected by Student Foundation
(SF) in the student drive and <
approximately $10,000 donated by
University employes.
The University, through the
employe and student drives, hopes
to raise £17,000 of the $82,000 the
county is planning to raise.
"But, again, we haven't
reached our goal yet because all
figures are not in," Paul
Heydenburg, chairperson of die
Isabella County Drive, said. "When
all loose ends are tied up, we should
even go over our goal with no
problem."
A total .of $600 was collected
during SF-sponsored door-to-door
solicitations   in   dorms,   married
housing and sorority and fraternity
houses Thursday night.
"This was the biggest fund"
raising project of the week," Karen
Landers, SF president, said. "We
are proud of the students. They
really gave a lot."
An 18-hour radiothon, co-
sponsored by WMHVT-FM radio on
Thursday, also was successful,
Landers said, although she did hot
know the specific amount of money
collected. Remote stations were set
up in various dorms and at the
- University Center, and pledges
were taken by phone.
SF also win receive proceeds
from the cover charge at a Happy
A
Hour Thursday at the Alibi, 3965
W. Broomfield Road. In addition,
the Alibi wili match this amount as
their donation to United Way. The
total figure wffl be available today
or Tuesday,
A benefit folk concert sponsored by SF Monday netted $23.90.
The Larzelere Dorm Council
sponsored a slave sale on Oct. 13,
Proceeds amounting to $40 were
donated to United Way, according
to Joann Cadovich, dorm council
president.
Emmons Dorm Council
pledged a donation matching last
week's pinball receipts. This figure,
to be released, early this week,.

Flu
'normal' effects
should be approximately $100 to
. $125, according to estimates made
before the drive began.
Calkins Dorm Council also
pledged to match one-half of last
week's pinball receipts.
The Dunking Machine event
scheduled for Tuesday Was can*
celed due to inclement weather,
and a 30-hour Dance-a-thon conducted Friday night lasted two
hours because only two couples
showed up.
John Richardson, SF- drive
director, could not be reached for
comment during the .weekend
because he was out of town.
Landers, Ohio senior, added
there still are collection cannisters
in the Reservation and dorms. The
cannisters will be picked up today.
University.
The University had asked
departments to cut their budgets
to cope with a projected 1976-77
budget deficit of $815,000.
The statement was supported by approximately two-
thirds of the department membership, according to Edward
McKensa, associate professor of
sociology and anthropology, Who
originally submitted the resolution.
"There was no single action by
the administration which prompted
it," McKenna said. "However, the
AP (administrative personnel)
increase was the straw that broke
the camel's back."
Administrative personnel,
non-teaching professional personnel excluding CMU's top administrators, recently received an
additional 2.9 per cent pay increase
on their base salary, bringing the
total 1976-77 increase to 8.3 per
cent.
The resolution states
estimates of the amount of
University resources and
budgeting of those resources have
been improperly used and "the
University administration, in its
political machinations, has seen fit
to cut support of academic
programs."
The resolution continues that
though the department cannot
fight these policies they "resolve to
avoid complicity in them."
"In good conscience the
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology cannot submit a
Program Plan document for 1977-
78; nor can we in good conscience
discuss ways in which to 'absorb'
any decreases in our SMCS
(supplies, materials, contractural
