His longtime understudy, Nikolai Tikhonov. was appointed to succeed him. Kosyvin, 76, has not been seen in public since the end of the Moscow Olympics Aug. 3. His resignation was expected, as was Tikhonov's elevation from deputy premier ton ominal head of government. Although only a year younger than Kosygin, Tichonov, an economist from the Ukraine, is in much better health. The change was not expected to herald any shifts in Soviet policy, either at home or abroad. Kofygin's resignation after 16 years as premier was announced by President Leonid Brezhnev at a meeting of the Supreme Soviet, the nation's parliament.

UConn vs. Maine* on Saturday Story,p.l6 P«*e2 The Connecticut Daily Campus, Friday, October 24,1980 Opinion Not one red cent The student government has got a lot of nerve asking for fee increases when the various components still have not been able to figure out what they are doing with the money they are currently receiving. The Board of Governors has already approved its $2 fee increase, despite its evaluation committee's recommenda- tion not to do so. And the Undergraduate Student (Tovcrnment proposes a $1 hike while pleading with the administration to hold room and board increases to a bare minimum. The student bureaucrats have cast themselves in the same mold as their real-world counterparts here, seemingly listening to ways of reducing costs when the decision has - been made already. USG Inc. is hoping the students have short memories. Not too many of us were here in March 1977 when 6,000 students rejected the last fee increase, a 5-4 margin. That is almost six times the number of students who usually vote in student government elections. Those results were ignored, rather they were interpreted as a favorable reaction to the $4 increase. After all, the majority probably knew nothing about the planned appropriation of funds. The Division of Student Affairs and Services then gave its blessing followed by rubber-stamp approval from the Board of Trustees. And the same thing can happen all over again this year. The best of Mike Peters USG will hold it's referendum in a few weeks, and if the results are not too pleasing, student leaders can whimper that funds are needed to fund activities properly. Administrators don't feel the pinch, they'll be more than happy to approve such a "minor" hike. «3BS5p3BT The best way to prevent this scenario from occuring is to make all referenda binding on USG, the same thing as is being considered for the Co-op at the next Co-op Board of IUBKIIISP WOO Directors meeting. Although it is nearly two years after the fact, the new leadership in that organization wants to AMERICANS ' prevent another debacle like the student referendum rejecting a new Co-op building. Y6AR... Until that reform is made, there is no reason to grant any increased student government funding until the student body is given an opportunity to learn where the benefits lie.
