CMU will operate with a "balanced" 1976-77 budget of $35,538,413 as
approved by the Board of Trustees Wednesday.
However, the budget is "tight" and has no contingency provisions for
fiscal emergencies, Arthur Ellis, vice president for public affairs,
reported. ,,
The current budget, as approved, reflects an increase of 5.95 per cent
more than the final 1976-77 budget, Ellis said. "There's very little new in
the budget," he said. "The budget you're adopting is balanced; there are
no loose ends.
"It's tight but we'll make it," Ellis added, saying there are no contingency provisions for either an executive budget cut from Lansing or
any CMU mistakes.
Operating with a budget which has no contingency provisions is a
"calculated gamble," EUis said, adding "if we're wrong, we're in trouble."
Following the Trustees meeting, Ellis said he did not anticipate an
executive order cutting the state's budget, which if ordered, would
reduce the amount of state money Central receives.
"Cutting the budget will be so distasteful that the legislature w^uld
be willing to raise taxes, therefore we're not planning on a reduction," he
said.
President Harold Abel said the budget was being approved late in
the year because final revenue figures had not been available from class
registration and labor negotiations. ' .
-     He also eaidlrwas not "sound business practice to present a $35
million budget with no contingency.
"To put it in the vernacular, there's no cookie jar," Abel said.
Abel also reported to the Board there have been three grievances
concerning inequities in employment practices which recently have been
decided in iavor of the University,     .
"I regret anyone should feel they have been treated unequally by the
University, but I am glad to see there are systems for dealing with these
complaints," he said.
Abel said the three cases concerned charges of sex discrimination in
salary, termination of a staff member and non-appointment at the
University. However, he declined to give the names of the persons involved.
"I didn't report the names to the Board because I consider it an invasion of the right of privacy of those persons," he said. "These simply

an acting vice president until a vice
president can be elected by the
student body.
"We'll' take nominations for
acting vice president at the special
meeting Monday. The Board will
elect the acting vice president at
the regular meeting Wednesday,"
Fraser said. The meeting will, be at
5 p.m. in the President's Council
Room of_the University Center.
Fraser explained the new vice
president would be elected by the
student body in the upcoming SA
constitutional revision election,
where a new senior at-large Board
representative'also will be elected.
No date has been set for that
election.
Before leaving the University,
Bazan cleared up last minute
business, including the bank
deposit of the special SA
discretionary fund.
The fund, 'repayed by two
former student government
members, was in the Office of
Student Affairs in two checks made
out to Bazan.
According to action of the SA
Board in February, the money had
to be deppsited in a bank. The
deposit had been postponed
because Bazan needed to endorse
the checks.
"The money is in. (a downtown
bank) in the names of the student
body president, vice president and
treasurer. It will require the
signatures of two of'the three to
get at the fund," Bazan said.
Bazan said she plans to return
to the University next'semester. "I
only have a few hours left before
graduation," she said. "And I've
gone too far to give it up completely."

CBS offered secret report
by STEVE SPALDING
LIFE Ass't News Editor
The House Intelligence Committee report on the CIA first was offered to CBS for publication before it was given to the Village Voice;
former CBS News correspondent Daniel Schorr admitted for the first
time Wednesday night to a capacity crowd at Warriner Auditorium.
Schorr said CBS turned it down but did not elaborate, telling the
audience "to read it in my book," which he is planning to write soon.
Schorr spoke on "The Values of a Free Press" as part of the week-
long University Symposium of Values.
Schorr, 60, was suspended in February after 23 years at CBS, after
arranging to have the full text of the report of the Pike Committee investigation of CIA abuses printed in the Village Voice, a New York-based
liberal magazine.
He resigned from CBS in September after refusing to reveal to the
House Ethics Committee the name ofthe person who leaked the report to
him.
The Ethics Committee subpeonaed Schorr in August after the
committee unsuccessfully tried for aeven months to. find the source of the
leak.
The copy ofthe report was leaked to him before the House voted not
to release the report to the public.
Schorr, who claimed he had the only copy of the report, said he
beIievfidJBe_could not suppress it.
APs awarded
pay increase
"To keep it would be suppressing the information," he said. Schorr
added he could not be bound by the "vote of a House to which I had not
been elected."
The report was kept secret by the House in January 1975 "because it
embarrassed the CIA, not because of national security,"
At the same time, the Americas people were worried the probes into
the American intelligence community were hurting the FBI and the CIA.
"Americans want safety and security. They want the country to be
safe in the world," he said.
The American people also have a strong sense of liberty, Schorr said,
but the "pendulum was swinging from liberty to security" because of
events late in 1975 and early 1976 including the LaGuardia airport
bombing, the two attempted assasinations of President Gerald Ford in
California and especially the killing of CIA agent Richard Welch in.
Athens, Greece.
"People felt that somehow, Welch was the victim of the press and
Congress. That because these secrets were being told (about the CIA)
Welch was killed," he said.
"For the first time, a secret agent turned into a hero. In death Welch
was still serving the country, by providing a backlash against the
disclosures."
"People thought the disclosures were going too far," he said.
However, Schorr said when he was suspended from CBS and subsequently subpeonaed by the Ethics Committee, the whole issue was
focused.
"Congress found out I was not alone. The House of Representatives^
was suddenly flooded with mail from people saying they did not want a*
reporter to go to jail," he said. "Deep in the country there is a value put on j
a free press." j

CMU's administrative personnel last Week received an additional 2.9 per cent pay hike
bringing their total 1976-77 increase to 8.3 per cent, Jon Darrow,
Academic Administrative Coordinator confirmed Thursday.
Administrative personnel,
non-teaching professional personnel excluding Central's top
administrators, received a 5.4 per
cent increase in July.
Arthur Ellis, CMU vice
president for public affairs, said
administrative personnel pay
increases have come in two parts
for the last two years,
"In both years thoy got approximately 5 per cent in July and
as you get the budget put together,
everything falls in place and we get
together and talk," he said.
EUis said the budget picture is
watched to see if more money will
be available for administrative
personnel. "There's always a
chance there won't be any more,"
he said.
Richard Potter, Administrative Personnel Council
chairperson, said the University
usually gives the Council a certain
amount of money and lets Council
members decide if they want it in
salary or benefits.
"What we get is usually
decided after all other negotiations
are complete," he said. This year,
after surveying Council members,
it was decided to take the caoney in
salary, Potter said.
This means Administrative
personnel are paying more of their
own health insurance this year
while receiving a larger pay increase.
The 2.9 per cent additional pay
hike was included in Central's
projected $815,877 budget deficit
which recently was eliminated
through several budget ad-~
justments, Ellis said.
President Harold Abel announced to Academic Senate Sept.
28 the University faced a possible
budget deficit because of
negotiation settlements, which
were higher than expected, lower
enrollment figures than projected
and less revenue than expected
front the Institute for Personal and
Career Development.
