(cont'd from page 4) ed at the last committee meeting that the recommendation had to have Fr. Demske's approval to forward to the Board of Trustees. As soon as he (Fr. Demske) approved it, it was to be made public, probably Monday or Tuesday (Jan. 20-21)," said Sawicz. Fr. Demske, however, said the proposal would not be made public until later. "I don't think that (the proposal) will be disclosed until the Trustees' meeting in February." The College budget process begins when the College Budget Committee meets over the fall semester, and decides sometime in January upon a final proposal to make to the Board of Trustees at the Board's February meeting. The trustees make the final determination on the budget for the next school year. Last year the trustees approved the recommended budget of the committee which included a $400 tuition increase. In an October interview with The Griffin, Franz predicted that rising utility costs, a 14.5 percent hike in Blue Shield rates and an "appropriate" raise for the faculty members would necessitate a tuition increase. At that time Franz also said that every effort would be made by the committee to keep this increase below $400.

Franz, when contacted by The Griffin, said he would not comment on the proposal, but that it would be made public at next week's USA meeting. As of this writing, the USA meeting is scheduled next Tues. at 6:30 p.m. Mike Sawicz, '86, USA president and the other student representative to the committee expressed dissatisfaction with the budget recommendation and the amount of the proposed tuition increase. by Vince Doyle A tuition increase of an undisclosed amount will highlight next year's College budget proposal, according to sources on the College Budget Committee, the body that makes the final budget proposals to the Board of Trustees. The specific amounts of budget proposals are usually kept confidential by the Budget Committee until they are reviewed by Rev. James W. Demske, S.J., College president, and are announced to the Undergraduate Student Association. However, Jim Granville, '87, one of two student representatives on the College Budget Committee, says the proposal does include a tuition increase for students next semester, but would not reveal the amount of the increase. Watergate Conspirator G. Gordon Liddy. "Part of the problem we have to face is students being here so close to the holidays. We are looking at trying to start after lobor Day with the study days, yet finish the semester without students being here so long," said Foster. "The majority of students seem to feel that the study days are needed," said Foster. The inclusion of the study days directly affects when final exams end in the first semester. Placing the study days in the middle of exam week forces the exams to continue into another week. In order to formulate an academic calendar for next year, Registrar Blair Foster recently sent out a questionnaire to students in an effort to help decide on the usefulness of this past semester's study days during exam week. According to Foster, the questionnaire, which asked for student input regarding the experimental study days, was randomly sent to four percent of the day students, or 98 people. To this point, 63 percent of those responding favored keeping the study days during exam week. by Jim Greco Registrar's Survey Finds Students Favor Study Days According to Rev. Edmund G. Ryan, S.J., executive vice president for academic affairs, the student input will have "a very large impact" on the decision he makes regarding the study days and the calendar. "It is easier to incorporate study days in a pre-Labor day start," added Fr. Ryan. The inclusion of the study days will be part of the decision regarding the two proposals for the academic calendar for next year. One of the proposals has fall classes beginning Sept. 2 and final semester exams ending Monday, Dec. 22. The spring semester would begin Monday, Jan. 12 with exams ending Saturday, May 9. The second proposal is similar to the past semester in that it would start the fall semester on Monday, Aug. 25, before Labor Day. finals would end Tuesday, Dec. 16, and the second semester would begin Monday, Jan. 12. Spring finals would end Saturday, May 9. In each proposal all breaks except Christmas are similar in every respect regarding length and placement on the calendar.

Puma recalled an incident several years ago when the former Polish ambassador to Japan, who had defected to the West, made an appearance on campus. Security was heavy due to death threats made against the speaker. However, Puma does not anticipate any such problems for Liddy's appearance. After serving as an artillery officer in the Korean War, Liddy entered the FBI and at age 29, became one of the Bureau's youngest supervisors at national headquarters."I don't expect anything like that this time."
