She said the problems with the- city budget and the labor negotiations were "the two biggest things recently," concerning Sprenkel's departure, but she said there was also some difficulty with council members ad- justing to Sprenkel's manner. Hood termed the labor negotiations, which were headed by Sprenkel, "a disaster," which gave the city's unions more concessions than were necessary.

But the vice president of Local 1733 of the Inter- national Association of Firefighters said the city did not give up that much in the negotiations. "I don't think he (Sprenkel) made too many concessions. No way," said fire fighter John Stewart. "We had to give up in order to get. Actually, I don't think we got that good a deal.. .All we got was an eight percent raise. I think it was a disaster for our side, not for theirs."

Researchers study college closings (Continued from Page 3) are being closed all over the country," he said. HOWEVER,-HE added that there is an offsetting factor: more people are going to college who are between 25 and 45 years old. But that is not enough to offset the difference, he said. "Experts agree that the enrollment decline in the next 20years will be about 15 percent." Miller said the reason no other studies have been conducted on this subject is because it isn't discussed "in polite circles. People don't talk about (college closings) when people who might be affected are around. As a result, we know little about the process, and if you don't know about the process, you have problems intervening." The study stresses the need for colleges to be realistic about financial problems and plan for the future. "A number of small colleges have closed on a moment's notice and its hurt everyone involved," Miller said. "Both the causes and effects need further study," the researchers said.
