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 ISR." 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. .Iuster Belcher discusses long-term goals (Continued from Page 1) 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 }Sorrells: (Continued on Page 5) 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. v 1 d 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."
