Belt of $30,000.00 toe 1970-71.
The newly- adopted budget calls
for Increases of $147,000.00 in

sity has little or no control.
The major part of the budget
Increase consists of an unemploy¬
ment insurance tax oo most of
the Institution’s 300 employees
($40,000), rate changes in utility
charges ($15,000), and the Uni¬
versity's share of Federal student
aid programs ($15,000). The
$40,000.00 increase was Imposed
by act of Congress in 1970. The
projected figures for 1971-7* also
are adjusted tor an anticipated dw
productivity In
ticnal programs, but it Is also true
teat some services, peritcularly In
the bod- instructional divisions,
will be curtailed. The Trustees
expressed the belief that theorem
all result will be sound, assuring
a reasonably priced edocational
experience for a broad range of
academically- qualified students.
Runaway Inflation affects more
than Just the educational program
of the University. Spiraling costs
of operation, maintenance, and su¬
pervision require a $10 per semes¬
ter increase In room charges to
residence hall residents, and the
various meal plans are projected
to Increase slightly.
