Program cuts ‘inevitable’
Lieuallen calls for closure proposals
By DONALD COULTER

The University s budget situation,
although still tentative, is becoming
clearer Yet even optimistic guesses on
the budget's outcome are not favorable
for the University
' Program cuts are not hypothetical —
they are inevitable," said Chancellor Roy
Lieuallen at a Friday meeting of the State
Board of Higher Education
"We have to engage in program review
if the budget is not adequately funded,"
he said
It doesn't appear it will be Lieuallen
left no doubt that the Legislature will cut
the higher education budget by at least 3
percent, but probably by not more than
6 5 percent Earlier this month it had
been feared that the figure would be as
high as 10 percent, because of
decreased revenue projections and an
unwillingness on the part of House
republicans to levy additional taxes to
support higher education
Lieuallen told university presidents at
the meeting that they must submit school
and department closure suggestions to
the board by November 1 The board will
decide on program reductions by its
January meeting To meet a 10-percent
cut, it has been estimated that three of
the University's professional schools and
as many as eight liberal arts programs
would be dropped
Lieuallen said that the board's deci
sions will not be made with the individual
institutions, but with all of the four-year
state colleges and universities as a
whole The program cuts will not be
effective until the 1982-83 and 1983-84
school years, he said
In other business, the board officially
rejected the concept of institutional clo
sure, dispelling rumours of merging two
or more four-year schools (the University
and Oregon State University, for exam
ple) to save money
"Closing an institution would produce
traumatic consequences for the institu
tion's students, alumni and faculty and
for the community," Lieuallen said
"In addition, I doubt that it would be
politically feasible.’’
Even in the case of a 3 to 6 5 percent
cut, University professors appear to be
safe from a reduction in pay — at least for
the 1981-82 school year Item 22 of the
ways and means committee’s report
would require a reduction in full-time
equivalent positions by either a
3-percent pay reduction (leave without
pay) or an equivalent staff reduction
According to Lieuallen, the level of cuts
will not include item 22 — the last item on
the list of 22 reductions
"(No one) that I’ve talked to in the
Legislature is seriously not contemplat
ing restoring item 22," he said The state
would save about $5 million through the
staff reduction
Housing market improves

A summer glut in the local
rental market may be rearrang
ing Eugene's traditional land
lord-tenant roles
The current abundance of
available housing in Eugene is
allowing renters a wider choice
of alternatives, while at the
same time causing landlords to
worry about filling vacancies
Summer always has a higher
vacancy rate in Eugene, says
realtor Shelly Haase, member of
the Lane County Rental Man
agement Association 1 And
now we are seeing people mov
ing out of the area or in with
their in-laws because they are
out of work "
Landlords are expecting a 25
frr 50-percent vacancy rate in
rental housing this summer.
Hasse says
They aren't sure they will be
able to rent them all This will
most likely result in a drop in
rent for the summer at least.’'
Off-campus housing director
Laurel Anderson estimates the
vacancy rate for rentals has
steadily increased from a
2-percent vacancy rate in 1980
when she took office
"In that year," says Ander
son, "we sent out brochures to
advise people about the in
adequate supply of rental hous
ing Since then, I feel instinc
tively that the housing
availability has gotten better
each year We had as many
cards (posted on the housing
board) spring term as we did in
the fall of last year "
The ASUO Off-Campus
Housing office, located in Suite
3 of the EMU offers a referral
service for renters who might
benefit from the present hous
ing excess as well as for land
lords seeking occupants Both
can come into the housing of
fice and fill out a card to fit their
situation and the card will be
posted on the off-campus
housing bulletin board
The off-campus housing of
fice also monitors legislative
issues in an effort to prevent
tenant privileges from being
violated. Anderson says Her
office posts legislative alerts
