5 . -year revenue projection 'More with less' report theme By HARRY GLENN ;Daily Collegian Staff Writer A In the next five years the Uni v ersity is going to have o do more with less. That was the central theme of a report on the !University's five-year projection of revenue and ex senses presented by University Provost Edward D. Eddy at the Board of Trustees,meeting in November. ."'We , Are going to have to live with less and do it superbly," Eddy said. "With careful planning, we can iniproVe what we are doing now with less," James B. Bartoo, dean of the graduate school, said. _ Bartoo and Eddy both were members of a small task force assigned by University President John W. Oswald to analyze the implications of the five-year study on the academic units. and various campuses of the University. Six assumptions were used in making the five-year projections for 1977-78 through 1981:82. One assumption pertained to inflationary trends. It was projected that the average rate of inflation over the five-year period would be 6 per cent. The report estimated that general costs, which include salaries, will increase at the inflationary rate. However, four areas of the budget were predicted to increase more *idly than the inflationary rate. ..i..The four areas are: energy, Social Security, hospital and medical insurance and library acquisitions. pi , • uarter wants taxes cut in 78 WASHINGTON (AP) President CArter promised on Wednesday to push for "substantial tax reductions" as soon as possible next year and said he might - dilay sending complicated tax reforms tolCongress for fear that they might tie 4.1 the tax cuts. ,Rep. Al Ullman, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, welcomed the president's pledge. Sen. Russell Long, chairman of the Finance Committee, said he had "no comment." P rtarter's go-slow attitude toward crfmprehensive tax reform means he might delay redeeming his campaign pfornise to completely overhaul the na tibn's tax system. As a- candidate, he called the system a "disgrace to the human race." plAlthough Carter' gave no specifics, Treasury Secretary W. Michael BlUmenthal has said the administration i§:'Considering tax reductions of between $l5 billion and $2O billion for business and individuals. !tbne White House source said the tax cat total could go higher than $2O billion but said he would be surprised if it went over $3O billion. This official said no decision on the size or timing of the tax reductions has been made. vHe said those decisions were likely to Cane in the next two weeks. , 111'he official said Carter's 1978 tax tkitoposal probably would not include prvious plans to eliminate tax preferences on investment profits, ailed capital gains, and to reduce Ituble taxation on corporate dividends. I ,tßut the administration still hasn't cleyided whether to include a proposed cut in deductions for business lunches, tile official said. egl tzez Volunteer, Lv t ; „„,u, The . second assumption used in the projection took into account the annual state appropriation and other revenue sources. Although the report indicated that the rate of growth in the revenue sources is not likely to exceed the general inflation rate, four different growth rates were used to calculate alternative projections. The report also assumed that federal and state support for other programs would remain at current levels with upward adjustments for inflation. A fourth assumption was that the University's enrollment would decline about 2 per cent by 1981-82. In making the projections the report also assumed that the University's tuition would increase at the inflationary rate of 6 per cent. A fifth assumption was made that employment figures for the University will be stabilized for the next five years The final assumptions came from a Physical Plant Planning and Review Committee. The report indicated .that emphasis will be placed on renovation, im provement and selective replacement rather than expansion. Eddy said the five-year projections are important to the University. "It is not just a wise move, but an essential one," Eddy said: "We cannot drift from year to year without making. changes. "We will experience a bit of trauma. The planning will involve the hopes, the dreams and the livelihoods Carter voiced the possibility of postponing comprehensive tax reform at a nationally televised news conference.

Asked which branch of the press most often covers events in their agencies, the press officers rated newspapers, 67 percent; radio 13 percent; trade press 11 percent; television 5 percent; and national magazines 3 percent. None of those responding said that in most cases they withhold information or use subterfuge because of news sen sitivity, but 11 percent said they do that sometimes and 60 percent rarely. Asked what happens when someome inaccurately reports events dealing with their agencies, 17 percent said they did nothing; 80 percent contacted the reporter or his supervisor; and 3 percent said they held grudges eliminated the reporter from their "special favors" list. finally selected there were problems with the process of selecting the nominees to send to Kline.

Stanley 0. • Ilienberry, senior vice president for University development and relations, outlined the Physical Plant commission's findings. "We are going into a new era," Ikenberry said. "An era of renovation an era of reallocation." " Ikenberry said there may be a change in the intended uses of some buildings in the future. "Space is one of the most precious commodities at the University," Ikenberry said. "We searched for alternatives to construction where possible. Alter natives such as rennovation or reallocation of space." Ikenberry said new buildings should not be added until other avenues to meet space needs have been exhausted.

Only 2 Republicans said yes Corman voted to okay tax hike By PETE BARNES Daily Collegian Staff Writer Centre County's State Senator J. Doyle Corman voted Nov. 17 for the $2OO million tax hike package to fund Penn State and the other state-related in stitutions. Only one other Republican senator voted with Corman on the package, while the remaining 18 Republicans held the no-tax party line. Corman said yesterday that although 'he felt a tax hike is not necessary, the University needs the state money now to avoid , a serious financial crisis. To withhold the money, he said, also would hurt the county's economy. Penn State has been appropriated $lOB GSA better Dennis Phifer (graduate-public administration) recently was elected president of the Graduate Student Association by the delegates of the GSA Council at their,Nov. 14 meeting. Phifer is replacing Trish Morrison and will serve the rest of her term, which expires April, 1978. Morrison resigned for academic reasons. When asked why he wanted to be GSA president, Phifer said, "Being a student is just not enough. I need to feel productive, useful. It would allow me to problem solve, and I like to help people solve their own problems." In the coming year, Phifer hopes to "get delegates to participate more fully. I don't want the GSA to just consist of the executive board. Our aim is a more fully integrated student body." Phifer said the key to his approach Progress situation While the students at Penn State were home enjoying their term break, the state Legislature was wrestling with the state buget impasse. - The first breakthrough in the funding stalemate came on Nov. 17 in the state Senate when anti-tax senators in cluding Centre County's Senator, J. Doyle Corman changed sides to vote for a tax increase. The tax increase will help provide funds for the $3OO million allocated to Penn State and other state related institutions. , The bill increased the personal state income tax from 2 percent to 2.1 percent and the corporate income tax from 9.5 percent to 11 percent. The 11 percent corporate income tax gives Penn- million, but the appropriation is meaningless without the funds to back it up. Centre County residents support the tax package, Corman said. However, he said, he conducted an informal poll to find out how other people in the 34th District (Clearfield, Cameron, and parts of Mifflin and Cambria Counties) felt about it. The results of the poll, he said, showed that the majority of those asked did not want a tax hike, but felt Penn State funding was more important. "You should vote your constituency," Corman said. "The majority of con=, stituents were for it." Corman said that on the day of the tax cli I The Daily Collegian Thursday, December 1, 1977 head wants opinion flow would be "to improve the information system and open up the channels of communication."
