Newspaper Page TextUniversity funding increased T his year murk* the end of <i long dry spell — a watershed year for ihe University, it U the first time in this decade that the University has seen real growth in its budget According to Dave Quenzer, chief budget of ficer for the Oregon State System of Higher Education, It is the l*est overall financial picture he has seen In his 14 years with the state system. After years of budget cutting and treading water, It appears the University is finally on the rebound — thanks to the 1085 Oregon Legislature. Were It not for the dry years. 1985 might he termed a windfall for the Oregon's higher educa tional system and the University in particular. However. Dick Hill. University vice president and provost. Imlieves it will take more than a year's infusion of monies to repair the general atrophy that has occurred over the past few years. Still. Hill said he was pleased with Ihe way the University was treated by the 1985 Legislature. To'begin with. Ihe Legislature granted the University a 10 percent increase in general fund allocations over Iasi year. These dollars will be used for laid I y needed salary, increases, instruc tional equipment aitd maintenance In addition, the University will receive: : •$750,000 in general fund-allocations for high tech equipment and purchases, •. .$».« million in lottery funds for high -tech equip ment and purchases. •$ 12 million in lottery fund* for a new Science Center and for facilities for the sciences devoted to economic development, and •$.13 million in federal fund* for capital construc tion for science buildings. This inflow of money to the University is a residt of the realization by state leaders that higher education is critically important to the state's future economic development. Years of recession and slow growth have impressed upon Oregonians the need for economic diversifica tion. The University and the rest of the state's universities have become the beneficiaries of this changed attitude in the state capital. The state budget for higher education increased from $440 million in 1083 to $541 million in 1085. Hill at tributes the increase in funding for the University to the combined efforts of William "Bud'' Davis, chancellor of higher education; Gov. Vic Atiyeh; University President Paul Olum and the entire state legislature. I he challenge now before the University and the slate system is to maintain the continued sup port of the legislature and the taxpayers of the slate. It is an encouraging start to the new year. • And as (Juenzer says. ''We am going to prove that spending on higher education is an economically .sound, investment.
