some strange happening at the Schoch and Ostafin met with
University lately. People seem considerable vocal opposition

numbers were.
Following last night's meet-
ing, UHC President Dan Ber-
land expressed confidence that
he "can get the support" nec-
essary to persuade the Housing
Office to abandon their master
thru residence hall listing.
He added, "I feel we got an
Classiflieu honest response," from Osta-

ROSE WOULD not "specu-
late on the chances of obtain-
ing the injunctions, as it might
influence the judges involved."
Meanwhile, many students
and parents have begun to call
and write Regents, protesting
what they term 't'he unfair-
ness" of the lottery system.
Thomas Roach (D-Grosse
Pointe) has already received
"half a dozen calls - mostly
from residents or parents of
students in Newbury."
ROACH SEES two key ques-
tions that must be answered
before any definite action can
be taken by the Regents: "Will

there be an increase in dema
next year," and, "What is
accurate forecast in next fa
enrollment."
Roach said that there is
good possibility that the".
gents will discuss using exc

not speculate on next year's
budget situation.
Jim Weinstein, a s t u d e n t
m e m b e r of the University
Budget Priorities Committee,
claimed that the University will
increase tuition fees if there is
a further budget cut. An in-
crease of "somewhere around
five to ten per cent is my
guess," Weinstein said.
He contended that there is
"an excess $44 million in the
budget of the University."
Weinstein agrees with other
Budget Priorities Committee
members that "a lot of the
money is tied up; however there
is some amount that could be
used. We are in dire straits now
and students just can't afford

the expense. It's easy to let the
students dig into their own sav-
ings accounts but they won't
dip into their own."
Despite the proposed foir per
cent budget cut, the University
appropriations for the 197-76
academic year include money
ear-marked exculsively for a 5.6
per cent faculty salary increase
and to off-set other inflationary
costs, Fleming said.
"THE REAL essence of what
is happening," Fleming added,
"is self-financing." He explained
that Rhodes has already asked
various University departments
"to find a way to cut their
budgets by four per cent."
All additional monies the ITni-
versity receives will cover only
the effects of inflation and will
not be used to provide expanded
services, Fleming said.
