    New budget
presented by
health center
The proposed budget for the next fiscal
year for the University health center was
presented Monday by Dr. Reinschmidt, di
rector of the center, to the ASUO Fiscal
Committee.
The total budget of $677,641 has a pro
posed student fee support of $492,854, the
remainder to be financed by projected in
come and a carry-over of $29,787 from
this year.
Reinschmidt attributed the requested
increase of $9,000 over last fiscal year’s
budget to escalating costs. He also stated
that certain staff positions have been
eliminated in an attempt to save money
without reducing the amount or quality
of service available to students.
Questioning by Fiscal Committee mem
bers centered around the physical ther
apy service, the services during the sum
mer session, and the pharmacy.
The physical therapist is scheduled with
the health center and salaried as a 25
per cent part-time employee. The other
75 per cent of his time and his salary is
paid by the athletic department. The
availability of the therapist to the stu
dent body was questioned and Rein
schmidt assured the committee that the
therapist is available to all students and
has definite office hours.
The role of the health center during
summer session came under close scrutiny
by the committee and certain possible
areas of improvement were discussed.
According to Reinschmidt, the health
center has “a very low utilization” on
weekends during summer session; the
only possible exception being the Satur
day morning clinic.
This weekend addition to the health
service program constitutes $7,000 of the
$36,763 figure proposed for the summer
session.
The activity that provides the largest
amount of income for the student health
center other than incidental fees is the
pharmacy. Committee members suggested
a campaign to make off-campus students
aware of the pharmacy service as a way
to realize its full potential as a revenue
producing part of the center.
Reinschmidt was asked what effect a six
per cent budget cut would have on the
health center. He replied that administra
tive medical, and psychiatric services
would have to be cut "drastically.”
The committee will be holding hearings
at 1 p.m. today in 337 EMU for the budg
ets of Student Community Projects, The
Survival Center, music programs and the
Graduate Student Council. Student recom
mendations on incidental fees for the
budget year beginning July 1 will be pre
sented to University President Robert
Clark May 7 for his approval and later to
the State Board of Higher Education for
final approval.
Students pay $28 per term in incidental
fees to finance athletic department and
EMU activities, the health center, and the
gym suit and towel service.
Co-op deliveries delayed
Books held up by strike
Many teachers face starting
their classes without all the nec
essary textbooks due to the re
cently ended postal strike.
Most of the books used for
classes come through the mail
from publishing companies on the
east coast. The postal strike hit
hardest in the East and since pri
ority goes to first class mail, the
books will be delayed.
Otto Henrickson, manager ol
the Co-op’s textbook department
said Thursday, “We even wired
our orders during the strike.”
A normal book order takes ten
to 14 days, so effects of the strike
hardly reached the University un
til the strike had ended.
Most of the orders affected were

YAF leader to speak
The University Young Republi
cans will present Jay Parker,
member of the national Young
Americans for Freedom (YAF)
board at 7:30 Tuesday night in
the EMU.
Parker, an insurance broker
from Philadelphia, has been a
member of the board since 1965
and is the YAF chairman for the
state of Pennsylvania. He also
writes for the New Guard, the
YAF publication, and is a radio
commentator.
Charles Duncan, dean of fac
ulties, warned the professors at
the beginning of the strike of the
possible delay. So far teachers
and students have been inconve
nienced, but nobody has been an
noyed with the Co-op, he said.
Henrickson noted that book
shipments dropped off sharply
last week, but added optimistical
ly that they should be picking
up soon.
He was reluctant to make defi
nite predictions about further de
lays due to a huge backlog be
cause “there simply are no prece
dents to go by.”
Other divisions of the Co - op
are scarcely affected because
most of their supplies are shipped.
Books are mailed rather than
shipped because of special book
mailing rates.
C ommittee postpones
demonstration appeal
A Student Conduct Committee
appeal hearing for graduate stu
dent Peter Jensen, convicted last
term on the charge of “conduct
which intentionally obstructs or
disrupts the educational process,"
will not take place this evening
as had been previously announc
ed.
According to Richard Rapp, as
sistant dean of students in charge
of the student conduct system,
the hearing will be re-scheduled
for some time later this week.
Rapp said that the postpone
ment was necessary because one
member of the committee would
have been unable to attend a
Tuesday session as a result of a
class conflict.
Jensen is one of 18 students
facing charges in Student Court
as a result of a Feb. 3 demon
stration against the presence of
two Weyerhaeuser Co. recruiters
on campus.
In addition to the obstruction
charge, the students are also ac
cused of "misuse of University
property and disorderly conduct.”
The latter two charges were
dropped against Jensen when his
case came up before Student
Court last term. The court sen
tenced him to one year on disci
plinary probation on the ob -
struction charge, which Jensen
will serve if his appeal is turned
down.
The appeal, according to Jen
sen’s student defender, Robert
Bay, is based on the belief that
the charge was “misapplied in this
case.”
According to Rapp, hearings
for the other members of the
“Weyerhaeuser 18” will not be
scheduled until the completion of
Jensen’s appeal case.
Board to discuss addition to center
Schematic designs for the Uni
versity Computer Center addition
and alterations will be discuss -
ed by the building committee of
the State Board of Higher Edu
cation Wednesday in Portland.
Because development of the
computer center is funded through
federal funds, planning and build
ing will continue even with the
present moratorium on new build
ing construction imposed by the
State Emergency Board.
The building committee will
also discuss a revision of plans
for the utility tunnel to be built
under Franklin Boulevard.
The finance committee, meet
ing Wednesday afternoon, will dis
cuss collective bargaining and how
it may affect the state system.
The committee will also dis
cuss athletic department and me
morial union costs at the col
leges and universities in the
system.
The academic committee will
meet today in Portland. The
agenda items do not directly con
cern the University.
The committee will discuss a
proposed Black Studies Program
at Portland State University. They
will also discuss the state system’s
high school visitation programs.
