Administration plans to notify 200 of potential layoffs
□ Notices prompted
by uncertain financial
future, but only small
percentage likely to
lose jobs
By Daralyn Trappe
Emerald Associate Editor
Tho University plans to no
tify about- 150 administrative
employees this month of the
possibility that their contracts
may not be renewed for the
1993-95 biennium. Plans call
for sending those notices some
time this wnek.
In addition, about 50 instruc
tors will receive tho same infor
mation In mid-August.
Dan Williams, vice president
for administration, said the
University is waiting for more
completo Information on the
state budget outlook for
1993-95 before notifying man
agement service and classified
employees of possible work
force reductions in those areas
also.
The University's notification
plans are prompted by a long
standing policy to provide at
least one-year's notice of poten
tial layoffs to administrative
employees and nine-month's
notice to instructors
Williams said the exact num
ber of layoffs will likely be rela
tively small compared to the
number of notices sent out. The
exact numbers are still nebu
lous because the budget for
1903-95 has vet to approved by
the Slate Board of Higher lidu
cotion.

unadulterated adrenalin rush.' says Larry Mazlack. who hasn't missed a
running since 1982.
In the daily running of the bulls, or encterro. up to 3.000 people put on a
show of bravery by running with six bulls and a guiding steer along a
825-yard route to the bullring lasting two and one-half minutes
