MILTIMAN (Journal Capitol Bursau) Michigan lawmakers closed shop Saturday night after approve ing budget bills which could produce $45 million worth of red ink for the 1958-59 fiscal year which begins July 1.

With two appropriation bills hanging fire for ihe May 15-16 final adjournment, the Michigan budget for next year appears set at about $332 million. This is $9 million less than the current general fund budget and $17 million less than asked by Gov. Williams. Thus the Republican majority in the legislature the last stronghold of GOP state strength firmly set its policy for this election year: Economy even at the cost of service. The Republican budget bills represent an almost across-the-board cut for state agencies.

Hit heaviest was higher education, with the state's colleges and universities facing operating cuts of up to four percent under this year's levels. Size of the impending deficit depends on the state's econemy. If the economy booms, the bud One nun was injured critical- moneis.

The wounded, together with two pedestrains suffering from shock, were taken to St. Francis hospital. The hospital said that earlier reports of a fourth nun being wounded remained unsubstantiated. The youth holed up in the third floor of a building adjacent to the convent, and dozens of police converged on the scene. The building was pinpointed with light.

If it stays in its present reluctant state or dips further, the deficit could jump over $54 million. DEFICIT ARITHMETIC The feared deficit adds up this way: A $16 million difference between the $332 million general fund budget and tax revenu for the same period of only S318 million, unless the economy penses next year a figure which Michigan State officials warned legislators repeatedly would result in serious cutbacks, and further dangers ahead when an expected increase in college-age youngsters starts building up in the next few years. The measure also provided an even $30 million for the University of Michigan, which was $929,000 less than the university has this year.

"The basic rule for good taste is not to be conspicious." Miss Delisle was asked what would be done if a coed showed up in class in shorts. "The student should be asked to leave," she said firmly.

"She would be considered a source of distraction." Coeds were grumbling about the ban but no open rebellion was reported. Miss Delisle said there had been several cases of girls reporting to register while wearing shorts. "They were told to go home and get a dress on," she said.
