THE EVENING NEWS, SAULT STE. MARIE, JULY 25, 1973 Proposed state college budget gives $2.74 million to LSSC By PATRICK CONNOLLY LANSING, Mich. (AP) Predicting generally stable enrollments, the legislature was expected today to adopt a new $382.04 million budget for the state's four-year colleges and universities. Tbe proposed budget provides $3.74 millions for Lake Superior State College, which is 5396,000 more than last year. LSSC is also listed as one of five Michigan colleges in "which enrollment increases are predicted.

Projected enrollment at LSSC is from 1,580 to 1,600. Other appropriations included: 830,028 million for Western Michigan University at Kalamazoo, $3.205 million more than last year; $22.495 million for Eastern Michigan University at Ypsilanti, $1.699 million more; $12.172 million for Michigan Technological University at Houghton, $1.591 million more; $11.411 million for Northern Michigan University at Marquette, $1.161 million mor thaa last year. Some $11.406 million for Oakland University, $1.012 million more; $2.746 million for Saginaw Valley College, $267,000 more; $2.744 million for Lake Superior State College at Sauit Ste. Marie, $395.000 more Dearborn campus of the University of Michigan would receive 54.630 million, $649,000 more; and the Flint campus of the University of Michigan would receive $4,371 million, $494,000 more. Appropriations would be 10.S per cent higher than current spending.

The budget for the 13 colleges and universities is a $36.6 million jump over current appropriations but $307,000 less than Gov. William Milliken recommended. Senate voted 28-5 Tuesday for a joint House-Senate conference committee budget recommendation for higher education and sent it to the House. The legislature also roay vote today on the two remaining stumbling blocks for adopting a 1973-74 record $725.8 million welfare appropriation and an embattled state school aid bill of about $720 million. Again the largest higher education appropriation went to the University of Michigan, which received an $8.54 million hike to $88.42 million.

Michigan State University received $77.04 million, $6.2 million more than last year, and Wayne State University got $61.47 million, a $5 million increase. Plans for three new law schools at Michigan Stare, Grand Valley State College and Western Michigan University were pushed back at least another year when the legislature refused to restore $1.1 million to fund the law schools. The Senate knocked.the law school money out of the budget last month.

Others include Wilfird Doyle of East Lansing to the Mackinac Island State Park Commission, Walter Anderson of Houghton to the state Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and state Board of Registration for Land Surveyors, and Robert Grice of Madison Heights to the state Board, of Plumbing.

"I want you to keep these figures in mind when they come screaming poverty to you!" The universities got about $117 million less than they asked for in the new budget, Senate sources said. Zollar a month ago unsuccessfully attempted to withhold S3 million total for all the schools unless actual enroll- ments exceeded predictions. The final bill contains such a "contingency fund" of $1.3 million only for excessive enrollments at the five colleges with fewer than 8,000 students each.

The five are Saginaw Valley College, Grand Valley State College, Oakland University and the Flint and Dearborn campuses of the University of Michigan. Lawmakers predicted enroll- ment increases at only schools. They said Grand Valley State would increase by 471 students from 4,854 to Lake Superior State College from 1,580 to Michigan State University from 39,023 to 39,098: University of Michigan Dearborn campus from 1,800 ta and the university's Flint campus from 2,169 to 2,350 students. ginning Aug. 1 who will testify that the water flowing into Duluth homes contains asbestos.

The 65-page brief was filed in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis in the Justice Department's suit seeking a permanent injunction banning Reserve Mining Co. from discharging 67.000 tons of taconite tailings into Lake Superior daily. The brief was also ffled on behalf of the Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota and the Pollution Control Agency which have joined in the fight for an injunction. "Billions of these fibers have been discharged into Lake Superior by Reserve Mining Co.

and are found at various places in Lake Superior distant from Reserves' discharge," the government contended. "These fibers have entered the water supplies of Beaver Bay, Silver Bsy, Two Harbors and Duluth, and Superior, in great quantities." The brief continued, "These fibers are ingested regularly by the citizens of the municipalities above mentioned. Asbestos fibers discharged by Reserve also are in the air in Duluth and in the homes in Duluth and are regularly inhaled by Duluth residents." The government stated that inhalation of asbestos fibers, "has been identified as the cause of lung cancer" in workers exposed to it on their jobs and said swallowing asbestos fibers is suspected as a cause of stomach and intestinal cancer. A Justice Department spokesman said the brief is the first time department attorneys raised the asbestos issue in the suit against Reserve Mining. The issue has been raised by other critics of the company's dumping practices.

The department said it will present at least 38 witnesses in support of its case. One of them. Dr. William J. Nicholson, will testify that Duluth's water supply contains "very large amounts" of asbesots, and that asbestos is a known cancer- causing agent, the department said.

Dr. Arthur Langer will testify about the degree to which the city's drinking water is polluted vlth asbestos, the brief continued. Both are with a University of New York institute on environmental health. Expanding on earlier argument, the government accused Reserve Mining of violating the federal water pollution laws by continuing to discharge taconite tailings into the lake. The Reserve discharges are voluminous that they have produced "measurable changes in late water chemistry" even in a body of water as large as Superior, government attorneys said.
