Wayne State Budget Fight Delays Michigan Legislature
The Michigan legislature wrestled over a 500000 funding dispute for Wayne State University within a 420 million dollar 1960-61 budget, prompting an overtime session and threats to compel absentees with state police.

A separate measure approved chemical tests for drunk driving with safeguards, requiring blood tests for intoxication and restricting saliva or breath tests.
