ISR studies in the next decade will
depend on funding and the need for
research support, according to SRC
Director Stephen Withey. He said
programmatic plans can be made, but
the notion of researchable areas and in-
tersts are chaning with the times.
"ISR is a* vigorous, growing part of
the University system," says Charles
Overberger, University vice-president
for research. "There is a strong oppor-
tuity (during the next decade) to ad-
vance social science research through

survey types of growth and iver-
sification of our methods of study," he
says. Jennings points to a growing in-
terest in international organizations
and their problems in measuring
variables that have effects on growth
and economic stability.
In addition, the change in staff size
and types of research, the ISR building
itself has undergone transformation.
TSR added a $2.7 million wing two years
ago with its own funds, but already has
outgrown that addition. ISR ad-
ministrators are once again looking for
more office space.

budgeting plan, b'ut acknowledged the
process will be gradual. Belcher
predicted the city's police department
will 'be operating according to the
program by this April.
Zero-base budgeting, which proved
too unwieldy a project for President
Carter to implement nationally,
requires each department, when sub-
mitting revenue reports for the
following year, to justify every expen-
diture. The program is designed to
eliminate waste.
But it is on the question of street
repairs that the mayor deviates from
his look-to-the-future philosophy.
Because pothole elimination was his
major campaign issue in last year's

tailbone, but I still can't understand her
choice of songs. She sang mostly tunes
by friends-folks like U. Utah Phillips,
Jerry Jeff Walker, and Malvina
Reynolds-but these did not seem to be
these artists' best efforts. At the same
time, she completely ignored the
superb material on Always A Lady and
Moments of Happiness (except for one
song, her lovely "Up Is a Nice Place to
Be"). Sorrels writes great songs and
has recorded many excellent songs by
other performers, but Friday night's
show gave no evidence of this talent.
Her health could explain the
evening's pacing, which was so slow
and listless that many patrons were
getting up and leaving in the middle of
the second set. Of those who stayed,
some fell asleep. Sorrels told numerous
stories between songs, but there was ne
rhythm, no excitement. She told of the
perils of transporting her guitar by air-
plane, of the many bars she's been
acquainted with, of her early goal to be
an opera singer or a female phar-
macist, and of her many kids. But most
often, these stories had no punch; they.
simply faded in and out of songs.
Her first set consisted mainly of
songs about traveling and drinking; her
second opened with a number of
Malvina Reynolds songs performed in
honor of the late singer. One of these,,
"Look On The Sunny Side," was one of
the evening's few genuine highlights,
with its light but serious lyrics:
if an.u.o is required,
At the place where you've been hired.
Stay ot home-tell them,
You're tired.

election battle against incumbent
Wheeler, Belcher made every attempt
to look busy after his victory. But the
mayor admits, as many Democrats
have charged, that the occasionally
haphazard method of patching the
potholes will not protect city streets for
more than a couple of years.
- THE MAYOR said, however, that he
felt voters would have been unrespon-
sive to a more permanent, but longer-
term, street repair program, and would
have demanded to see the results of
Belcher's campaign promises. To
guarantee a life of at least ten years to
the repaired roads, the entire base of
the street would have to be revamped.
The process by which the majority of
roads were fixed this year was the less
effective asphalt and coal-patching.
Belcher admitted, "We're going to have
potholes when the roads start breaking
up in the spring."
The mayor, relaxing after dinner
with a cup of coffee, discussed the
major frustration marring his other-
wise satisfying year as city father -
the rejection of, his proposed
parking/housing facility for E.
Washington Street.
That project was designed to provide
built-in parking facilities for new
residences, hopefully alleviating some
of the parking problems downtown.
"Eighty per cent of the downtown
dwellers own automobiles," Belcher
pointed out.
BELCHER SPECULATED that since
the city voted down the proposal, a
private developer will most likely buy
the property and build his own facility.
Though dissatisfied with some of the
votes of Council, Belcher said that
overall, "Council has been pretty bi-
partisan this year on most of the major
issues, and it's had a lot of guts this
year." Referring to three massive
housing and commercial developments
now before Council - Cranbrook,
Meadowbrook, and Pittsfield -
Belcher predicted "These big develop-
ments coming up are going to be some
gutsy votes."
