The Carolinian April 16, 1975 Iniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro Volumn LIV Number 39 Frasier believes not binding a5j Students veto pay; Referendum held Staff Photo by Paul Braxton Stiff Photo by Paul Braxton The picture to the left is the scene from the ground floor of the new administration building. The spacious new building is expected to be completed in September of this year. The picture above was taken from the second floor of the new building looking over the first floor. It is still unclear whether or not money will be available for the completion of the first floor. The second and third floors will be completed by September and in the event the first floor is unable to be completed, the university has made plans to continue using parts of the old administration building. Fees are determining factors University budget process explored BY BOB HAMILTON Staff Writer It takes the intuitive cunning of a Sherlock Holmes to trace down the elements of UNC-G's financial framework. In an effort to perceive the intriguing web which surrounds the budget making process. The Carolinian talked to Vice Chancellor of Affairs Jim Allen. The two factors determinging the amount of money taken in by the university are tuition and activity fees. Allen stated that fees are determined by the individual university's needs. Rape reported Reprinted from tha Graansboro Daily News An unidentified coed at UNC-G was abducted at gunpoint at 12:55 a.m. Monday on the UNC-G campus, knocked down and forced into a car before being raped, according to the Greensboro Police Department reports. Police said the girl was taken in an older model two-door white car with rust spots on it and driven to Dan's Road near the sewage treatment plant where the assailant tied her hands and sexually assaulted her. The police report also said that the assailant, wearing a nylon stocking over his face, was a black man in his 20s described as six feet, one inch tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He reportedly released the UNC-G coed after raping her and she went to a nearby home and used the telephone to notify police. Allen revealed that starting next year, fees would be determined during open public meetings. Until now, fees have been determined during closed meetings of students and faculty. The amount paid for turition at each public university depends on the school's academic status. "If the school is a doctorial granting university such as UNC-G, tuition will be about $40 more than a school with just a masters program," said Allen. The tuition of a school granting only four year degrees would drop about another $40. If a school has a large athletic program the students of that institution will pay a higher athletic fee than a school with a small program and subsequent fee, such as UNC-G. As Allen commented, "The fees of public universities are not the same because they have different needs and circumstances." Each of the 16-member schools in the university system is funded on a projected enrollment figure. The university is granted $2200 for each in-state student minus the amount of tuition he pays as set by the state. Because of this budgeting process, a slight error in projected attendence figures can mean a major loss to the university in funds. Allen said, 'This year the UNC-G Board of Governor's projected a 4-5 per cent increase in enrollment while actually it was about 11 per cent." He added, "We're suffering already." "It's tough to decide a cut off in enrollment," said Allen. He explained the university must accept more students than it can financially WF offers Murrow show Winston-Salem - An Edward R. Murrow Retrospective will be shown at Wake Forest University tonight. H number of Murrow's better known television interviews and documentaries will be shown at 7:30 p.m. in Room A of Winston Hall. They are open to the public without charge. Murrow was a native of Guilford County and the 10th anniversary of his death is April 28. Wallace Carroll, former editor and publisher of the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel, arranged the retrospective in connection with the course in constitutional rights he is teaching ?t Wake Forest. "It seems to me to be an excellent way to show the students something about the civil liberties issues of the 50's," Carroll said, "and to honor a conscientious and talented journalist." Carroll, who knew Murrow and worked with him during the German blitz of London during World War II, will make brief remarks before each night's showing. There will be different films shown each night. The films will include the famous documentary on Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin and McCarthy's reply; the case of Lieutenant Radulovich who was forced to resign from the Air Force because his father and sister read allegedly subversive publications; a documentary on Annie Lee Moss, a black woman who worked in the Defense Department and was accused of being a communist; and interviews of musician Louis Armstrong, artist Grandma Moses, and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist. Carroll said a number i of documentaries, including one by the British Broadcasting Company, are being prepared in commemoration of Murrow's death. accommodate because a number of them don't register after being accepted or because they drop out. "It just turned out this year where they (accepters) decided to come and stay." The university budget is decided by a number of priority decisions at different levels. Here the confusion begins if not studied closely. Initially the head of a department (history, math, etc.) submits a budget request to the respective deans of their schools. The deans then propose their budget to the vice-chancellors. Each vice chancellor submits his own budget based on past recommendations to Chancellot Ferguson. Ferguson then sits down with the vice chancellors and in a cabinet type operation draws up a budget to be submitted to the Board of Governors of the Consolidated UNC system. The Board of Governors trim the , budget requests of the 16 member UNC system and submits its recommendations to the N.C. Legislature. The legislature acts on the budget request and sends it back to the UNC Board of Governors. Finally the Board appropriates funds not exceeding the amount set forth by the General Assembly. These funds are allocated in close compliance with the guidelines set forth by the legislatures, although the Board is not committed to do so by law. Elementary Watson! BY KEVIN KILMARTIN Managing Editor The Salary and Wage Referendum held last Tuesday and Wednesday resulted in an overwhelming defeat of paid positions. Only four positions are to be paid according to the referendum. Of the 44 positions on the referendum, the four which passed were SGA president, Carolinian editor. Pine Needles editor, and WUAG Station Manager. Also approved in the referendum were wages for the SGA secretaries. There is now some confusion as to what the effect of the referendum will be. According to the Constitution of Student Government, the referendum should become law. The last referendum, which was held first semester, was determined invalid by the Senate. Though the Constitution has no provisions for the Senate to act on a referendum which has been submitted to the voters some Senators believe the referendum is not binding on the Senate. Barry Frasier, president-elect of the Senate, said he believes the Senate ' could choose to do what ever it wanted" in considering the referendum. Frasier believes the referendum is not binding on the Senate because of the precedent set earlier this semester by tne Senate in not considering the first salary/wage referendum. Included in the many positions which would not receive monies according to the referendum was that of the internal auditor. The auditor is responsible for keeping the books for student government in proper order for the state auditor and is usually not a student, but a person with accounting training. Also included among the salaries defeated were SGA vice president, attorney general and the editor of Coraddi. Wage deletions included Carolinian managing editor, news editor, and advertising manager. The business managers of all the organizations, including SGA, will be denied wage according to the results of the referendum. Run-off today; Cole vs. Webster BY CHUCK HOUSKA Staff Wr,tar A run-off election is scheduled for today in Cone Ballroom from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to elect next year's Eillott Hall president. Dave Cole and Debbie Webster are in the run-off after they received the two largest number of votes cast for the office of Elliott Hall president. Mary Maxwell and a write-in candidate, Catherine J. Hughes, were on the first bailor, but neither received enough votes to be put on the run-off ballot. Election Board rules call for a candidate to receive at least "50 per cent plus one" of all votes cast for the office. Candidates elected to serve next year will be officially sworn in on Tuesday night, April 22. The ceremony will take place at the Student Activities Banquet sponsored by Elliott Hall. S.G.A. President Jim McAbee will swear in president-elect Sean O'Kane, who will then swear in the other elected offiers. At the April 23 Senate meeting, Vice-President-elect Barry Frasier will be sworn in as president of the senate by this year's Vice President Cathy Krinick. Fall tuition increase expected Vice Chancellor Jim Allen BY BOB HAMILTON Staff Writar In response to an expected $232 million deficit in the state's budget, the North Carolina Legislature's Higher Education appropriations sub-committee has recommended an increase in state university tuition rates. Under their proposal, tuition will be raised $200 for in-state students and $300 for out-of-state students. The same committee proposed that subsidies to private universities be increased from $200 to $400 per in-state student. Before these measures can be approved, they must pass a vote from the full bodies of the appropriations committee, the state Senate, and House. Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at UNC-G Jim Allen told The Carolinian that historically, the appropriations committee has made few changes upon legislation proposed by the higher education sub panel. "Saturday night and everything's all right..." Two UNC-G students pass the evening serenading the stars and night flora in the quad. He added, "It's very likely something akin to the present recommendation will pass the N.C. General Assembly." State Senator McNeil Smith, who represents Greensboro, is a member of the appropriations sub committee. In a telephone interview, he said that the full committee's approval would be based on the amount of tax revenues the state receives after April 15, the tax filing deadline. Senator Smith voted for the increase in tuitions. He justified his vote on the state's projected $232 million deficit. To help balance the budget, the sub-committee recommended a raise in tuition and a halt in enrollment increases. These two proposals would save the state $36 million and $26 million respectively. At the same time. Sen. Smith said over all spending on higher education would increase from approximately $444 million to $471 million in the next two years. He also mentioned that the restoration of the North Carolina Central University Law School is a higher budgeting priority than either the East Carolina University Medical School or the North Carolina State University veterinary school. Currently public universities are subsidized $2200 minus the tuition costs of the individual students as set forth by the legislature. Sen. Smith voted not to increase subsidies to private colleges for in-state students. His proposal was to raise funds for private universities up to $350 per student instead of the $400 passed by the sub-committee. Dr. Cameron West, director of the N.C. Association of Independent colleges has been quoted as saying the raising of the subsidy fund "would make the difference between the opening and closing of a number of universities."
