Budget figures 'misleading'
Administrators say University will still feel pinch
By Sandy Johnstone
Of the Emerald
University Pres. Paul Olum becomes agitated
when he talks about the University's budget.
The University is the most underfunded universi
ty of its quality in the nation, he tells the group, just
as he's told a dozen other groups during the past few
years. The next University budget is not going to
make Olum change his speech either.
In June, the Legislature approved a $1.26 billion
budget for the State System of Higher Education for
the 1983-85 biennium, an overall increase of 17 per
cent, but still 3 percent less than the figure in Gov.
Vic Atiyeh's recommendation. The University's por
tion for 1983434 comes to $68.4 million, a 9.8 percent
increase over 1982-83.
But the percentage increase is misleading, says
Ralph Sunderland, the University's budget director.
While the University did receive more money,
the funding is tied up in prior commitments that
were not funded in the past biennium.
"The University has not increased its operating
level. It has decreased," he says.
So Olum doesn't smile when discussing budget
adjustments made during summer.
One system-wide cut the Legislature made in
higher education slices $479,800 from the University
budget while projected enrollment adjustments will
clip $760,442. In addition, about $735,900 in cuts must
be made to cover cuts in the 1982-83 budget.
No firm decisions have yet been made about
where the money will come from.
"We are approaching it by waiting," says
Sunderland. "We feel there is sufficient reason to
wait for enrollment figures.
"It's a mistake to make budget reductions if we
feel the enrollment is shifting and changing," he
says. "We don't want to reduce a program where
there will be an enrollment bulge."
A lot of time has been spent recruiting students,
says Sunderland. It is important they be able to get
the classes they want.
Tentatively, the cuts are expected to be made in
three areas.
About $500,000 will be saved through personnel
reductions, coming mostly from not hiring
replacements for faculty on sabbatical, those who
quit or those who retire.
About $750,000 will be realized trom doing
without planned remodeling and equipment buying.
About $500,000 will be absorbed through no in
creases to University departments to cover inflation
costs.
Sunderland says these figures are estimates —
"no one but me will recognize them."
Savings will also be made in other areas around
the University by keeping alert for chances to milk a
dollar here, scrape a dollar there.
"We will save money every place we can," says
Sunderland. "Anytime I see the chance to save

money, I discuss it with the president to see it he
wants to do it."
Provost Dick Hill is optimistic that the cuts will
not affect student instruction.
"The cuts will not have a devastating impact on
academic programs," says Hill.
Both Hill and Olum are quick to point to the
good things in the budget.
The good news for students is a tuition freeze at
last year's levels. However, fees will increase $27.50,
bringing the total for in-state tuition to $477.50.
Money was also alloted for specific programs
within the realm of economic development which
will be disbursed to the computer science depart
ment and the cell biology lab. (See related stories on
pages 10 and 11.)
More money was also allotted for the libraries in
the State System.
"There was some good news," admits Hill.
But not enough of it to bring a smile to Olum's
face.
