Olum protests proposed fund allocation By Joan Herman Of fh« Emerald A new method for allocating higher education funds receiv ed mixed responses when it was unveiled at a special State Board of Higher Education meeting Tuesday in Portland. The special meeting was called to determine how to allocate $1.26 billion during the 1983-85 biennium to Oregon's eight public higher ed institutions. The Legislature cut the board’s budget request and Gov. Vic Atiyeh's recommend ed budget by nearly $6 4 million because of an ex pected enrollment decline of about 10 percent. Another $4 4 million was pared from the recommended budget because of insufficent state funds. Under the new allocation method, which Chancellor Bud Davis dubbed the Base Allocation System (BAS), fac tors weighed in distributing funds would hinge on more than just enrollment figures, as they have in past allocations.

At the request of Davis, the state system's Office of Ad ministration developed the BAS to provide a “systematic allocation of funds.” Davis Quenzer, assistant budget director for the state systems, called the model “a compass for pointing us in the direction we should go.” Although the model is "far from perfect," Quenzer says it is “sufficently complete to guide the alloca tion process." Davis was correct in assum ing the BAS would “cause dissatisfaction with some institutions.” Each institution president was given 10 minutes to vent their feelings about BAS to board members One of the most verbal opponents of the proposed allocation system was University Pres. Paul Olum, who said implementing BAS would be a “very bad mistake” because BAS does not properly recognize each in stitution’s needs. If BAS were approved, the University’s budget would be handed a 1.8 percent cut ($1.04 million) in 1983-84 and a 2.7 percent cut in 1984 85 ($1 46 million). Olum cited the proposed allocation of library funds among the institutions as one example of the model's short comings. Under BAS, the University library would receive $91,375 out of a total $530,000 to be spread among the eight institutions for book acquistion. Yet smaller schools that don’t have exten sive research or doctoral pro grams as the University does, such as Western Oregon State College and Southern Oregon State College, would be fund ed at slightly more than half of the University’s share for book acquisition. “The comparisons made with WOSC and SOSC are hard to understand. They don't have graduate programs and they don’t have to buy major research journals" for the University’s 4,000 graduate students, Olum said. Olum also criticized BAS because it used enrollment figures from Jan 1 to predict fall terms enrollment for each institution. Although enroll ment is not the only factor, it plays a “heavy role" in deter mining how much funding each institution will get, Olum said "If one wants a reasonable understanding (of enrollment), one wants to look at current figures " The University has made "considerable enroll ment progress" since January, he said Other institution presidents warned that the "compass” might cause more serious economic problems than they already have. Both PSU and WOSC presidents said BAS might force them to declare financial emergencies at their institu tions because the reallocation process would cut their already thin budgets too much. But other presidents were not as dissatisfied with the unrefined system. "This system (BAS), inade quate as it is, is better than the old strictly student (enrollment)-driven system that ignored crucial segments of the budget,” said Robert MacVicar, Oregon State University president. The board postponed a deci sion on the formula until July 21, when they will hold another special meeting at PSU Oregon Jam Continued from Page 7 nothing else like it.” Triumph is against minimalism both in its music and performing "Bare-bones production masquerading as some sort of music-stressing artistic choice seems like a cheap, lazy, rip-off of the concert-goer to me,” said Moore. The crowd will come to their feet — if they aren’t already — when Triumph plays the heavy metal anthem “Fight the Good Fight " The crowd may “Never Surrender” the stage to any band after Triumph Headlining the “Jam" after three years playing as a sup port act must be sweet joy for Canada's Loverboy Apparent ly, threes are lucky for Lover boy This third appearance coincides with the band's third album "Keep It Up," Their second album “Get Lucky" has been certified a tri ple platinum seller Couple this with worldwide sales of more than 7 million albums and singles since their debut in 1980 It's been a successful three years. Loverboy was really the unspoken headliner at the "Jam” last year In fact, after their set many of the 40,000 there left without waiting to hear Foreigner. "Hot Girls in Love" is the single from "Keep It Up” get ting a lot of radio airplay. Loverboy is also in the MTV rotation with a number of videos of their hits like "Turn Me Loose" and “The Kid is Hot Tonite." No doubt the Autzen crowd will be treated to these chart-toppers. Multitalented Paul Dean is the group's guitarist, songwriter and producer. Mike Reno takes care of lead vocals, Doug Johnson plays keyboards, Scott Smith thumps bass and Matt Frenette pounds percussion. The gates will be open early Saturday.
