Natural Resources

fights to survive

By JIM SPARKS
In the lobby of the Dana Building stands a
booth painted with the words "Endangered:
School of Natural Resources."
While the school will almost certainly con-
tinue as a species, its recent review by the
University administration has made its faculty
members and students understandably ner-
vous.
SINCE THE school learned that it was the
target of a review that would likely lead to
significant cutbacks in its budget last March,
students and professors have become in-
creasingly active in fighting to save their
school.

"A lot of energy of faculty and students has
been rechanneled,"said one natural resources
student.' "The focus is the review process, and
the issue is survival."
But natural resources professors and studen-
ts say they have no intention of sitting back and
watching administrators decide the future of
their school.
AT PUBLIC hearings on the school's future,
scheduled for today and Tuesday, defenders of
the school say they will present an impressive
show of support for the program.
Defenders of the program are looking to
public hearings, scheduled for today and
tomorrow, as a crucial opportunity to make an

impressive display of support before any
decisions are made. To make their point, they"
have lined up a long roster of students,
professors from this and other universities, and
professionals from around the state to make
the school's case before the University's
budget officials today and next week.
When natural resources Dean William John-
son found out last spring that his school -
along with the School of Art and the School of
Education - would be thoroughly reviewed
with any eye toward sizable cutbacks, he knew
he had to act quickly. A major obstacle to
saving his school before budget cutters, he
realized, was that much of the review would be.

conducted over the summer, when many of the
school's students and professors would not be
in town to defend it.
"THAT'S WHY in the spring I pressed things
fast, getting students and faculty involved,"
Johnson said recently. "It seemed like a lot of
stuff was going on - and it was - but I was
thinking about fall, and so we made the best of
the situation."
To keep the school's cause visible over the
summer, students sold natural resources T-
shirts and buttons. But the final blitz of support
for the school will come now, and a little later
this fall, when members of the University's
Budget Priorities Committee and Billy Frye,

vice -president for academic affairs, start
making up their minds about how much, if any,
to cut from the school's budget.
Leaders of the natural resources Student
Coordinating Committee, which was formed to
defend the school against possible cuts, say
they hope to pack the hearings with at least 150
people. That wouldhbe a dramatic show of sup-
port, since earlier hearings for other targeted
programs - like the Institute for the Study of
Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities
and the Geography department - have drawn
only about 30 to 50 people.

bloops way
through
conference,,
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Reagan, wh has been faulted before for
making factual mistakes in public ap-
pearances, gave his critics new grist by
committing some economic bloopers at
his news conference this week.
In defending an economic program
with the highest unemployment rate in
41 years, Reagan said Tuesday night
that unemployment has been rising for
the past decade, particularly during the
end of the Carter administration.
"ANt,, certainly," he added, "the
rate of increase in unemployment in the
last six months of 1980 was just about as
great as it has been at any time since,"
In fact, according to official figures
issued by the Labor Department, the
unemployment rate declined in the last
six months of 1980, from, 7.8 percent in
July to 7.3 percent in December.
There was a spurt in unemployment
during 1980, but it came early in the
year, when the jobless rate jumped
from 6.2 percent in February to 7.8 per-
cent in July - an increase of 1.4 percen-
