Deeper cuts probable as State Board meets
By Debbie Hewlett
OMhaEmaraM
Lunch may be the only palatable item
on the agenda for the Oregon State
Board of Higher Education’s June meet
ing Friday at Portland State University.
The board is slated to talk about the
recently mandated $2 4 million cut in the
budget for state universities and col
leges The state Legislature hit the state
system with budget reductions for the
second time in its special sessions earlier
this month Several institution presidents
will be at the monthly meeting to give
suggestions how to resolve the cuts.
University Pres Paul Olum has public
ly discussed declaring financial exigency
— the University's equvialent to bank
ruptcy. Because of the University's
predicted $650,000 share of the cut,
Olum says he sees very little else that can
be done to avoid exigency.
“We have already cut everything to an
extreme limit, and we have reached a
point where I do not see how we can
continue to function if we try to go
beyond that,'' Olum said in a recent letter
to Sen Ed Fadeley, D-Eugene, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
The board's docket of business
doesn't list the Legislature's request to
trim the budget as an item for discussion,
but from most estimations, there will be
plenty of time spent discussing options.
Olum has already singled out four
"units” at the University to bear the brunt
of the budget crunch — the Bureau of
Government Research, the University
radio station, KWAX, The Bureau of
Labor and Education Management and
the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology.
In addition to the mandated cuts, pub
lic hearings about tuition and fee in
creases, room and board rate increases
and a number of other items will fill the
board members day.
Resident students at the University are
scheduled for a $49 increase over last
winter and spring term tuition rates. The
increase was allocated at the beginning
of the biennium as a part of two
19-percent-per-year increases. Under
the proposal, resident undergraduates
will pay $373 per term, a 15.1 percent
increase; nonresident undergraduates
will pay $1,248 per term, a 6.9 percent
increase; resident graduates will pay
$511, a 16.2 percent increase; and
nonresident graduates will pay $1,010,
an 18 percent increase.
The board will also look at a staff report
on policy statements and codes of ethics
for intercollegiate athletics at the eight
institutions participating in intercol
legiate activities as well as proposed
increases for room and board rates at
each of the institutions.

Computer sections open
Business classes fill fast
um-e etyam, siuuems swampea Dusiness
school courses at Monday’s registration. But,
computer science students had much better luck
getting the classes they needed than in past
registrations.
By the end of registration Monday, many
marketing, management and decision science
courses were full.
“As I recall, Management 453 closed by 11
a m.,” said Don Lytle, director of undergraduate
business programs.
Marketing 361 filled up by "early afternoon, at
the latest,” Lytle said.
James Reinmuth, dean of the business
school, said some classes had waiting lists of ”80
or 90.”
Since summer session is self-supporting,
additional sections may be opened to take care of
those on waiting lists, Lytle said. New sections for
accounting, management and decision science
courses have been opened, he said.
out Lytle warned, tne new sections are just
to take care of the waiting list."
The new Management 453 section is re
served for seniors on the waiting list who will be
graduating this summer, he added.
In contrast, most computer science students
got the classes they wanted.
"Hardly anything closed,” said Dave Morri
son, co-chairman of the summer computer
science program.
CIS 131 and CIS 203, usually booked solid
during regular terms, had adequate space.
“Every student who wanted to get in 131 got
in it,” Morrison said.
“The only course that ended up filling is an
artificial intelligence course,” Morrison said. He
added that about six students were turned away
from that course.
Morrison added that the computer science
department could offer enough sections to meet
the demand because the summer budget is based
on previous enrollments.
