Faculty positions temporarily lost Physics enrollment soars while funds fall By ANN PORTAL Of the Emerald This is a year of contradic tions for the University. Enrollment continues to in crease while funds decrease, and the physics department faculty is keenly aware of the predicament. Physics undergraduate en rollment has grown 14 percent this year, graduate enrollment has increased 47 percent, and four faculty positions have been lost temporarily. The financial situation is no longer debatable, says depart ment chairer Bernd Crasemann. “We have been hanging on by our fingernails for several years. There is absolutely no reserve left.” Calling the governor’s budget “pathetically inadequate,” Cra semann says the University and the physics department are "better than the state deserves in view of the support we re given.” The public needs to understand the fragility of higher education, Crasemann says “The quality hinges on a small UNION ^ Light Set $13.95 \gJ installed for \ OO east IIth / 57.50 34»2-48J8 CASH For Textbooks Mon.-Fri.

My worry is we ll come to the point when we can no longer hold these people.” Crasemann is particularly concerned about the lack of funds coming at a time when student interest is returning to the “hard sciences." "It’s a trend that’s been com ing back the last few years.” he says. However, academic positions for graduates will be tight for another 10 years, he adds Industrial positions for phys isicists and engineers are plen tiful, Crasemann says. Although he expects increas ing graduate enrollment to con tinue, Crasemann says Atiyeh’s proposed 84-percent increase in out-of-state graduate tuition over the next two years could prevent foreign students from attending the University. "We continue to attract very good graduate students,” Cra semann says, noting that 50 percent come from foreign countries,, and many of these students pay for school by themselves. "One is worried that we will cut off the flow of foreign students. Not only are they very qualified, but their presence adds greatly to the educational experience of all students.” Crasemann expects graduate enrollment in the department to continue growing because of the "increased visibility” of re search being done. Virtually every member of the faculty has some type of research grant, he says. Research contracts in the department total more than $1.3 million this year. Crasemann attributes the department’s increased nation al exposure to research being done in solid state physics, par ticle theory physics, and nu clear, atomic and molecular physics. In addition, the chemical phy sics program recently received a $300,000 grant to further re search and education that should help to attract graduate students, Crasemann says. The loss of four faculty posi tions in the department forced the elimination of a number of advanced graduate courses and some undergraduate sections this year, says Cra semann. However, two of the positions already have been filled, and the department also hopes to get permission to fill the other two.
