returns to CMU
Although less than one fifth of the campus attended the Tuesday night
appearence of Loggins and Messina, in concert in Rose Arena, to those 3,000
people it was an evening well spent*
Beginning the concert was "Juice Newton and the Silver Spur Band."
Enthusiasm, was high, so they had no trouble getting the crowd ready for
Jim Loggins and Ken Messina.
Loggins and Messina played songs from all five of their albums, the first
of which was released in early W71. Many of the songs were from their latest
album "Sc-Fine", a collection of nostalgic songs from the 1960's.

Executive   Board   and   the   constitution does not specify if these'

must be voted on once again hy
Senate, according to Senate con-"
stitutional guidelines. Following the
second   vote,   all   faculty   will   be
eligible to vote On the amendments-
and each individual school within the
University   will   conduct   further
meetings   and  discussion   on   the
proposed amendments, according to
Senate's constitution.
DURING DISCUSSION of the
proposed amendment, Richard
Allen, secretary of the Senate,
stressed that student representation
"is very valuable" on the Executive
Board, He added that members of
the. I&ecutiye Board have "continually turned--to Steve Davis for
information" concerning issues
before the^ Board; Davis, Higgins
Lake junior, is chairperson of the*
Senate nominating committee and is .
therefore on the-Executive Board.
Another proposed amendment
Would make • the Senate more
available to students by changing
the criteria for business being
brought    before , the    Senate.
Currently, the constitution specifies
that "Student Senate" is the means
for students to bring matters to the
Senate's attention. The amendment
would change the wording from
"Student Senate" to "students",
giving all students the "privilege" of
bringing matters before the Senate.

proposed amendment. The amendment would change the limitatiojLoJ
the length of a student's term from
two one-year terms to three one-
year terms.
It was mentioned by Student
Senator Dave Demers during
discussion on the amendment, that it
is "against the interests of CMU
students to be denied representation
by someone simply because he has
served on the Senate for two years*1'
Davis added that students should be
given the same representation
opportunities afforded faculty
members, who serve on Senate for
three-year terms.

LIFE News Editor   -
When President Harold Abel
met with Gerald H. Miller, Gov.
William G. Milliken's chief budget
adviser, he " tried to,. reinforce
ammunition for Miller's judgement"
hoping the forthcoming budget cuts-
would- be differential instead of
accross-the-board cuts.
During Tuesday's Academic
Senate meeting Abel outlined recent
statistics .which show . Central is'
grossly underfunded.,in relation- to
other state institutions. Earlier he
noted, a differentia^* cut', ^ould
compensate for inequitable appropriations.
' Abel noted institutions "more
favorably allocated by the state"
believe accross the board' cuts would
be the ntost simple and equitable. A
\ differential cut allows budget cuts to
be geared individually to institutions
based on such criteria as the school's
growth and cost per student, while
'across the board cuts Would cut the
. same percentage from each institutions allocation.
ABEL SAID he told Miller "the
CMU story on a one to one basis" and
gave Miller statistics that are a
matter of.public information. Abel
told Miller even on a basis of 13,729
(the enrollment figure by which
CMU currently is funded) Central is
13th of 15 in state appropriation for
institutions of higher education.
Central has approximately 2,000
students more than it is being
funded for,
