The decreased funds are going to make people unhappy, among both students and faculty, the administrator said. "The (resultant) belt-lightening will be University-wide." In an attempt to acquire some additional money, the tuition will have to be raised, Dr. Tucker said, lie explained thai "the administration admini-stration is opposed to tuition increases. It lias urged higher appropriations appropri-ations as an offset against higher tuition." The administration doesn't want the increase to be "higher than is absolutely necessary." The University will also try to get more money from private donations. But even with the tuition increases and donations. Dr. Tucker doesn't think the University will be able to make up for the lack of government funds. Thus, the budget will have lo be trimmed. Some areas will lose more money than others. To decide which areas those will be, the administration will have to choose the highest funding priorities Dr. Tucker said. Some necessities have been planned for already. For instance, hiring new professors to fill faculty vacancies and contracting speakers must be done now, he said. Also concerned about choosing priorities is Dr. Franklin G. Fbaugh, Ir dean of the College of Medicine. He said, "We're disappointed over the cut. Even though the funds might be increased a Mule, .1 isn t really enough to help out much." Thcbudget cut will probably force the College of Medicine to cut back on educational programs, Dr. Ebaugh said.
