U.S. econon
By STEVEN TUCH
Two University economic forecasters predict growth
in the American economy in the next two years,
mostly due to improvements in the balance of trade.
In a scheduled update of the national forecast made
last November, Professors Saul Hymans and Janet
Wolfe said that growing exports, lower oil imports,
and flat non-oil imports will bring about a $32.4
billion improvement to next year's foreign trade
balance, stimulating the national economy.
The economists predict the gross national product
(GNP) will increase 3.2 percent and 3.7 percent in
1987 and 1988 respectively, compared to the 2.5
percent increase in 1986.
The GNP will remain weak as a result of the
strength of auto sales at the end of 1986 due to
automakers' loan incentives and a revised tax law that
ends the deductability of sales tax on cars. Therefore,
automobile purchases are expected to decline, holding
the GNP increase to a minimum.
The report gives no indication of how the economic
growth will affect the University in terms of federal

ic growth
student financial aid or state grants, but it does say
federal expenditures will increase by only 3.8 percent in
1987 and 3.5 percent in 1988, compared to increases in
1985 of 10.1 percent and in 1986 of 6.5 percent.
The non-defense spending projections show grants-
in-aid increases to state and local governments will
increase only 2.2 percent in 1987 and remain flat in
1988, compared to the 7.4 percent increase experienced
over the past year. These figures may indicate a
decrease in the amount of money students receive from
both federal student aid and state grants to the
University.
In order to adjust to the new tax reforms and to
compensate for the excess supply of commercial
buildings, spending by businesses will increase only a
little more than 5 percent. However, this increase in
production will be enough to cause a decline in the
civilian unemployment rate from the current 6.75
percent to 6.3 percent by the end of 1987 and between
6.1 and 6.2 percent by the end of 1988, the lowest
since 1979.

culminating in a full tuition waiver
at the end of the third year, but
includes no salary increase or cost
of living adjustment. The,
University also refuses to consider
proposals on paid training or class
size, according to the GEO.
The new tax law plus ever-
skyrocketing rent will lead to less
take-home pay for TAs,
Meisenhelter said.
According to GEO bargaining
team member Richard Dees, "As-
suming tuition increases equal to
last year's and the new tax law, the
University's proposal gives TAs
less money to live on than the
current contract."
University officials would not
comment on the negotiations.
Meisenhelter hopes that the
possibility of a strike will drive the
administration to a quick
agreement.
"They can only handle so many
crises at once," she said, referring to
recent campus unrest due to racism.
"The last thing they want to do is
have a labor dispute."

Councilmember Dick Deem (R-
Second Ward), in a heated statement
directed at the mayor, said this is
the first time that a sister city has
been seen as a political interest
instead of a ceremonial interest and
said he did not feel that council
time should be taken up with
political problems in another
country.

The FitTest software package
sells for $295. It may be available
through a fee to University students
and employees, but planners have

According to Goodman, the cen-

There may be opportunities for
students to use the test as well. The
center is negotiating programs to
