Professional schools on
budget chopping block
By Debbie Hewlett
OtthmEmmnM
As the story goes, the shepherd cries “wolf"
once too often — and the sheep get eaten.
Students already have had a $49-per-term
bite taken out. Faculty and staff may feel the teeth
via a mandatory work furlough The cry of "wolf"
still echoes.
If the Legislature decides on more cuts to
state agencies, the bulk could come from higher
education. Whether higher education is cut more
than the 10 percent proposed by Gov Vic Atiyeh,
or is dealt the 5 percent blow discussed by the
Ways and Means Committee, the overriding
question is: What gets axed?
Anything more than a 3.8 percent cut will
force the University to declare financial exigency,
University Pres Paul Olum says, adding that the
school may also be forced to cut departments and
schools.

Although he has mentally fingered what
departments and schools would go with a severe
budget cut, to reveal any plans would make those
cuts a "self-fulfilled prophecy," Olum says
The University can't cut anymore without
cutting whole programs. Olum says And. as a
lesson in the futility of cutting programs. Olum
has given this example
One way to save $3.3 million would be to
dismantle the University's schools of law, music,
architecture and education These closures
would cost the Eugene area about $50 million,
Olum says And University enrollment would
decrease, in turn lowering tuition revenue and
possibly tipping off more budget cuts
Using common sense, a background of how
the University works, and other sources, here are
the odds in the Budget Cut Derby:
The business school: 100 to 1. This program
is alive, thriving and 40 percent of incoming
freshman want a business major, says Dean Jim
Reinmuth
Although the school continues to struggle
with large class sizes, small budget cuts and a
waiting list of students, it is pretty safe from
oblivion A starving University doesn't cut out the
bread and butter
The journalism school: 15 to 1. This program
makes more money than it spends and is the only
journalism school in the state Although there
have been rumours that the telecommunications
department may be forced to merge with jour
nalism, Dean Everett Dennis says that is unlikely
The law school: 15 to 1. This is the only
state-funded law program in Oregon Tuition at
the private law programs at Willamette University
and Lewis and Clark College cost more than two
times what the University 's law school does
The music school: 10 to 1. This strong pro
gram trains most of the state's music educaton
teachers and boasts an extensive program of
public performances and concerts
Architecture and allied arts school: 5 to 1.
According to the newly appointed dean of archi
tecture and allied arts. Bill Gilland, there is a need
for what he calls visual inquiry, saying that
students need to think "visually.”
With the Legislature's support tor expansion
and the demand for the courses, cutting the
school doesn't seem as likely — even though the
Legislature won't mandate where cuts should be
made, Gilland says Still, there has been talk of
transferring some of the school's programs to
other departments
The community service and public affairs
school: 1 to 1. To this program, the talk of budget
cuts may seem like a recurring nightmare In 1977
the school was halved
The education school: S to 1. Everyone is
screaming to end duplication in the state system
and with the Western Oregon State College's
emphasis on education, the University program is
being eyed
The health, physical education and recrea
tion school: 10 to 1. This program has already
been hit with no funding for activities classes and
it has developed a program — SHAPE — that
seems to have grabbed a foothold before the
school slid over the budget edge
But brains may have a bigger budget priority
than bodies, although this school is nationally
ranked
Arts and sciences school: some cuts, 1:1;
total abolishment; 500 to 1. Cuts in this program
are probably coming, but the magnitude and
depth is still in question Most of the department
heads agree that the three Rs will stay, but some
of the others will go Portuguese language was
cut a number of years back; other languages may
be an easy target
Exchange programs and International
studies: 1 to 1. These programs may be shoved
out the door, if just to save office and staff costs
Most of the University's departments and
schools are ranked nationally, and deciding
which one will be cut is a tough decision for Olum
But, as he has said before, "We are not crying
wolf "
Maybe the legislators up in Salem will hear
the cry and save higher education some messy
work. Maybe they'll do what is politically un
popular but most beneficial for higher ed — raise
revenues instead of the roof
