Health Center moves to new building
By Loretta Pizzo
Editor-in Chief
As of midnight Wednesday, no
word had been received on any
action which may have been taken on
Central's budget appropriations for
the 1973-74' academic year by the
joint conference committee of the
legislature.
Six members of the senate-
house committee were scheduled to
debate the bill yesterday and as far
as can be determined, they did. No
results  were  announced  however.
The panel, consisting of
senators Charles 0. Zollar, (R.Benton Harbor) senate democratic
minority leader Lane, Purcell; and
house representative Bill S. Huffman
(D-Madison Heights), republican
minority leader James S. Farn--
sworth (R.-Plainwell), was due to
make some decisions on how much, if
any, of the $900,000 lopped off of
Central's budget in the house
version of the bill should be restored.
CMU was one of three
universities to have its budget cut by
the House of Representatives during
Foust—here we come!
Its a big move...Tuesday,
Central Michigan University Health
Services left their 12-year-old home
in Sloan Hall and moved to the new
$2.4 million Judson W. Foust
building on Preston Rd.
University Health Services will
double their size with the move,
where they will be occupying the
first and second floors of a three-
floor building.
The first floor will be devoted to
outpatient care, administrative
offices, labs, x-ray, and the pharmacy, according to Dr.-J. Vandrick,
director.
In-patient care will be housed on
the second floor with 44 beds,
although there is room for 50, twice
that which the Health Services has
now.
Along with the new building
comes an expansion of the medical
staff. Dr. Anatalia J. Calope, the
first woman MD at Central,
gynecologist and* specialist in in;
ternal medicine will begin work in
the fall. A telephone operator and a
part-time lab techincian will also be
hired.
Sharing the building. with the
Health Services will be the Counseling Center and the Computer
Services, although work has not yet
been completed in their facilities.
Located on the ground floor, the
Counseling Center expects to have
an arena format waiting room and
hopes to offer new programs and
services, although at this time they
are still in the planning stages. The
Computer Center, also located on the
ground floor expects to utilize a
much larger computer.
"This way we can do a lot of jobs
on  a  larger  scale,  like   computer
Commission advises
increased tuition
Members of the Carnegie
Commission on Higher Education
have recommended tuition in the
nation's public universities be
allowed to rise at a faster rate than
at private schools during the next
ten years to narrow the tuition gap
between the two and to permit the
needy to choose more equally
between attendance at a public or
private school.
The blue-ribbon panel report
was prepared by a 19-member group
including former Harvard President
Nathan M. Pusey, former Pennsylvania Governor William W.
Scranton and Clark Kerr, former
president of the University of
California.       _. ^      	
It recommended that tuition
rates be allowed to increase until
they reached the level of about one-
third of the educational costs of
independent schools.
To achieve this goal by 1983, the
commission estimated that public
tuitions would have to increase 10 to
12 percent a year,
Currently the public rate is
about one-sixth of the spiraiing
increases at private institutions,
according to the report.
Designed to assist private institutions of higher learning, the
recommendations  would  gradually

narrow the gap and return the ratio
more nearly to its historical level in
the period of 1920 to 1950 and increase student-assistance programs
permitting the needy more choice in
selecting a college to attend.
Tuition rates at Central have
been increasing on the average of
percent a year or $  .50 annually
according   to   Roger   L.   Sanders
assistant to the vice president of
business and finance.
An increase of Central's present
fee of $17.50 per credit hour for
Michigan undergraduate work would
represent $1.75 boost per year, per
credit hour. For a student taking the
usual 31 credit hours an academic
year, it would amount to an additional $54.25 annually.

Dening, director. "Right now the
faculty can't use us to do research
and students don't -have the opportunity to work with larger
machines,
"We will be able to keep the
office open all hours so students can
work anytime," Dening said.
Jack Toepp
coming
Tuesday
Senator Jack Toepp (R-Cadillac)
will* discuss "What Happened in
Lansing" at Tuesday's Educational
Administration luncheon in the U.
Center. The luncheon begins at noon
in Rooms 2A and 2B.
Toepp has made comments
recently lambasting House members
who voted to delete $900,000 from
CMU's budget.
He commented, "The move was
unfair, unwarranted and undeserved."
voting on amendments to the Higher
Education Bill. Grand Valley State
College and Ferris State College
were cut by $140,000 and $35,000
respectively.
Reductions on Central's
allocations were made in 16 different
areas with the largest cuts being
made in library services and
research.
Depending on which party line
is talking, there are different versions of why the unexpected cut was
made. Huffman said the cuts were
made because they were ap-
propiating money for 342 more
students than were enrolled and
because CMU is charging about $40
less per student for fees than other
colleges and universities their size.
He said this is losing about $600,000
in revenue,
According to Huffman, "The
legislature is not going to subsidize
CMU's loss in revenue due., to lower
student fees."
Rep. John M. Engler, (R.-Mt.
Pleasant) says the welfare of
Central's 14,000 students is being
sacrificed for the maneuverings of
the House Democratic legislators."
Engler commented the party
line vote, which deleted the $900,000
from Senate-approved ' appropriations "was an obvious and
obnoxious attempt by Democrats to
gain some political leverage for
themselves."
He said Central is being used as
a pawn in the annual game which
members play over the Higher
Education Bill.
The Higher Education Bill was
sent to the Senate after it was approved with a 73-31 vote by the
House. The Senate did not concur
with the 78 amendments passed by
the House, and the bill went to a
conference committee where differences between the two Versions
are supposed to be ironed out.
"The most dis-heartening part
of this whole mess is that the Senate
had finally recognized that CMU lias,
for 'several years, been slighted
financially resulting in lower per-
pupil allocations than any of the
other schools with similar academic
programs, and had made an attempt
to begin bringing them up to par.
The cuts made in the house would
once again leave Central substantially lower than other schools
such as Eastern, Northern and
Oakland universities," Engler said.
"That was not, of course, the
final vote on the bill, and I'm hopeful
that we may yet restore some
needed monies to Central." He said
further that he intended to urg»
Senate members not to approve the
House changes and was hopeful i$ii
