$845,000 Deficit Hits UM For FiscaTiO- 71

Faced with the decline of 600 fulllime equivalent students, with related effect on auxiliary operations, UM has reported a deficit of $845,175 for the fiscal year 1970-71.
In the annual financial report to the University, Eugene
Cohen, vice-president for financial affairs and treasurer said
revenues totaled $79,025,569 while expenditures totaled $79,-
870,744.
At mid-point in the fiscal year, which ended May 31,
1971, a deficit of $2 million was forecast.
"At that point severe expenditure constraints, including
the 'freezing' of vacant positions, were imposed," Cohen said.
"These constraints, in force through the end of the fiscal year,
resulted in the $2 million anticipated excess being reduced to
$845,000."
Cohen said the primary reason the deficit was incurred
was a decrease in undergraduate tuition and fees. An unanticipated drop in freshmen and transfer students enrollment for
both spring and fall semesters cost UM $1.3 million in lost,
but anticipated revenue.
"In addition there was a marked decline in revenues from
residence halls and other auxiliary enterprises as well as from
intercollegiate athletics," Cohen said.
A bright note for students came in the loan funds department. There was an increase of $1.1 million in student loan
funds over the fiscal year 1970.
Ten years ago the total loan funds at UM were slightly
less than $1.2 million. As of May 31, 1971 these funds were
nearly $6.5 million of which approximately $6.0 million were
from various federal loan programs.
"Of this $6.4 million total, a net of over $1.1 million was
received during the year under review," Cohen said.
Financial aid to students also increased in 1971. Financial
aid to students in 1971 totaled $3,947,000 while in 1970 financial aid totaled $3,619,000.
Intercollegiate athletic spending dropped $28,000 from
$1,944,000 in 1970 to $1,916,000 in fiscal 1971.
Endowments funds dropped $604,000 during fiscal 1971.
The balance June 1, 1970 was $27,899,000 but as of May 31,
1971 the balance was $27,295,000.
Cohen said there were additions of over $1.5 million to
the endowment fund, including more than $700,000 in investment income, but deductions from these funds exceeded $2.1.
Total endowment monies have increased more than
three-fold over the past ten years for a total at May 31, 1971
of approximately $27.3 million, the report said.
"Though this rate of increase has been favorable, UM
continues to have one of the smallest of endowments when
compared to other private universities," Cohen said.
Cohen said a particular UM problem is that more and
more income is being committed before it is received but he
was confident the "future of the University is not in jeopardy."
Cohen said in order to achieve established goals universities can no longer afford the luxury of being a "loose federation of islands of endeavor."
"All available resources, including faculty talent, cash
and securities, the imagination and energy of the students and
the good name of the University must be brought together on
a concerted basis to insure the survival of higher education on
a quality basis," Cohen said.
Cohen said the University will operate on a balanced
budget for the 1971-72 fiscal year due to improved reporting
techniques and closer cooperation with the budget review and
finance committee of the UM Board of Trustees.

Or. Kenler Discusses
Health Center Situation
ByMARKTA'iCh;
Assistant  News  Editor
This is the second in a
series of ihrrr articles by
the Hurricane dealing
with the IM Health Center and Us services.
Today's installment
den's uith the present
state of the Health Center.
In recent years one of the
most pressing problems on
the UM campus has been the
problem of students overdosing, or more specifically, the
problem of kids over-dosing
after 5:00 p.m. or on weekends, when the Health Center
is closed.
The Hurricane approached
Dr. Kenler, assistant director
of UM Health Services, and
asked him to elaborate on
the problem.
"There are visiting hours
and there are emergency
hours and there is always a1
nurse on duty with access to
a doctor, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week and then
there is always Doctor's Hospital," Kenler said.
Doctors don't work by
time clocks." Kenler said,
"we stay with a patient as
long as needed. Non-emer-
gency cases are told to come
back the next day, but the
acute are taken first and
never turned away."
"We have competent nurses who treat students  as if
they  were   their   own   children," he added.
"But in cases of overdoses, we prefer to call it
overmedication, for the record," Kenler said.
On any given day, as many
as 200 students enter the
Health Center. "And its a
heck of a problem having
enough doctors, too many
doctors, or not enough doctors," Dr. M. Eugene Flipse,
director of Health Services
said.
"I have a time clock in
there now, so I can see how
long a student has to wait.
We're probably the only
Health Center around with a
time clock," he added.
"I'm concerned about the
waiting time. I've tried appointments, but it doesn't
work. Maybe next year with
more space we can do both,"
he said.
Dr. Kenler explained the
situation ". . . the student's
card is stamped at the sign-in
point, a student then goes to
the first available doctor or
the doctor of his choice."
"It may take from a few
minutes to an hour, depending on whether or not a doctor is popular, or the type of
care that is being dispensed,"
Kenler said.
Kenler said all doctor's
hours are posted, although
no appointments are given.
"Certain procedures cannot be done during certain
times of day," Kenler said,
"and certain  problems take
iKlff
longer than others. Emotional problems take about 20
minutes to an hour, lab work
takes longer. Some tests take
an hour or more."
"Hatefully we try to get
them Out as soon as possible." Kenler added.
The Hurricane, in the
course of its investigation,
discovered that the average
waiting time for a student to
be received by a doctor was
15 to 45 minutes depending
on the time of day.
"Kids like to sleep late,
and have classes, then they
come in here and expect immediate treatment in five
minutes. Why some private
doctors make   you   wait as

whose specially-built cart
was stolen and vandalized
earlier this month.
Tables will be set up to
collect money in the Breeze-

Rising from the grass of the intramural field is a
skeleton of 2x4's, cardboard and plywood. It doesn't
look like much, no sounds, no bright lights or multicolors. It's hard to believe that all this has turned into
Carni-Gras, but like magic it has.
Over the sharp staccato beat of hammers, a
spokesman for Hoover House said, "We're real proud
of our booth, we've put a lot of hours in it and it is
good work therapy, it helps to break up the old study
syndrome. This year, as last year, we'll be offering
chocolate bananas. A caged gorilla will help us sell
them, it's actually a member of the house dressed as
one."
There's something for everyone at Carni-Gras. Going
to it is almost like an around
     —   the world tour. At one booth,
, run by the Oraganization of
Arab Students, you can have
your fill of FALAFIL, an
Arab hamburger without the
meat is the closet thing you
could compare it to. Everything in it is organic, which
should prove a delight to
those who are on macrobiotic
diets or those who like something unique.
The Carni-Gras officially
opened yesterday at 7 p.m.
Ribbon cutting ceremonies
were held by Iron Arrow,
then the merriment began.
The Hurricane asked an 11
year old who said her name
was Irene, what she thought
of Carni-Gras. She seemed
caught up in it, with a box of
popcorn in one hand, a candied apple in the other, and a
Snoopy doll balanced somewhere in between the two.
"I like it, but where can I
wash my hands?" she said.
The Hurricane talked to
Howard Winneman, as he
was helping to nail a piece of
plywood on to the frame of
Fort Apache, the nerve center for Carni-Gras, "It's hot
out here today and we're all
working hard trying to get
all of this done before we
open on Thursday. I don't
think that there is one of us
who isn't enjoying it. Actually we're working at a faster
rate than we thought that we
would."
Carni-Gras opens again tonight at 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 2-11 p.m.
"Carni-Gras was first after
the death of Paul R. Yarck,
assistant dean of student facilities. The money received is
divided in a 60-40 split. The
fund receives sixty per cent
and the student organizations receive the remainder,"
Gary Olsen, overall chairman
said.
long as two hours, with   an
appointment!" Kenler said.
Dr. Flipse pointed out the
fact that besides the Health
Center there is Doctor's Hospital, which is very cooperative at night when the Health
Center is closed and most
students need to be seen by
specialists, which the Health
Center doesn't have anyway.
These problems usually include broken bones and cuts
requiring suturing.
Flipse said that rather than
keep a full time doctor salaried to work all night, UM
pays Doctor's Hospital.
"There's a close relation-

More than 50 people
camped out in the lobby of
Pearson Hall Tuesday evening in hopes of being the
first person in line to receive
a private room in UM dorms
for fall semester, 1972.
Some students who waited
as long as 18 hours for a
chance at one of the few single rooms, came equipped
with TV sets, buckets of
chicken and most of all aggravation In having to pull
an 'all-nighter' for a situation
they all felt the housing office could remedy.
Gary Kay,   a junior,   was
the first arrival Tuesday afternoon. He, along with several early birds, started a list
and passed out numbers as
people began flocking in
about 8 p.m. and the line
started to form.
At 12 midnight visitation
for men ends in Pearson Hall
and the disgusted guys were
asked to leave, but determined they remained outside
until 3 a.m. when they received permission to wait in
the lobby once again.
"The situation is absurd,
but staying up one night for
a single room for the next
three years is worth it." Elise
Rosenberg, a freshman said.

'Gov't. Attitudes
Must Chagne'
By DEBBIE SAMUELSON
Of The Hurricane Staff
John V. Lindsay, mayor of New York City and Democratic candidate for the presidency, said at the Rock Monday that
the people in the cities are frightened and only a change of attitude on the part of the government can save the cities.
"There is fear. I take my share of whatever is coming.
When people are frightened they're going to blame "him" or
"them," and in most cases this is the guy in City Hall. There
is no escape or running away in the United States from the
unsolved problems of poverty and race," Lindsay said.
Lindsay said that as mayor, he is in touch with the people of the city and their problems. He felt he had learned
more about the problems of the people during his six years as
mayor than he had in the seven years he had spent in Washington as a congressman.
Lindsay sighted several instances where, as mayor of
New York, he has helped to better conditions in the city, such
as drug rehabilitation programs, opening up the labor unions,
and adding to the subway system to improve the mass transit
system.
"You can't make a tough decision in this country without
making a lot of people sore," Lindsay said.

fort to be cheerful just like
they do in jail, trying to
make a bad situation better,"
Kathy Taughinbaugh said,
describing the overall situation.
Sitting on blankets and
makeshift beds, some of the
vigilant waiters decided to
fall asleep and end the boredom.
"I'll just fall asleep so It
doesn't matter," W y n n
Wygal, a transfer student
who will be a senior In the
fall said despairingly.
Steve Seeley, a junior,
feels that the situation was
becoming desperate for, "the
people are greedy, they just
don't get along with each
other so everyone wants a
private room to be able to be
alone." Seeley said he has
had six roommates since September.
By eight Wednesday morning when resident hall employees arrived, the line had
grown to over 200 people,
James Grimm, director of
housing, said that the residence hall office has tried
several methods to sign people up for private rooms but
could not seem to find- a
method better than the existing one of waiting the night
out.
This year with the new life
style living program, dorms
including 1968 will be entirely oriented to freshman " except for the first floor which
will be occupied by a limited
amount of upperclassmen.
So the line in Pearson
lobby included those who
still wanted to reside in t968,
people who had their hearts
sot on a single room, and
some who want to be the.residents of Eaton Hall, the first
UM dorm to go coed.
