Battaglia stated that if alcohol was served he also could foresee "no problem". He said that the Rat's serving of alcohol in the afternoon "would not change anyone's drinking habits one way or another." His personal opinion however, is that "alcohol shouldn't be served, as the night time serving of alcohol in the Rat should be enough."

Anthony Battaglia, Wiza's supervisor, said that the Rat's biggest afternoon was a thirty dollar intake. He stated he will "stay with it", but the controversial alcohol decision is giving the Rat a negative image and "the student support is not there." by Jim Bachwitz The decision not to serve alcohol during the weekdays in the Rathskellar is not a dead issue according to Bob Wiza and Anthony Battaglia, supervisors of the Rat, and Dan Ryan, president of the Undergraduate Student Assembly. Ryan would like to see the policy reversed for-a trial basis. He does not foresee "swinging from the chandelier-type trouble", Both Battaglia and Wiza see no change in the policy. Battaglia said, "The school is not promoting drinking. They are determined to keep the afternoon program running, even though it's off to a slow start." Dan Ryan, who is in favor of the afternoon serving of alcohol, stated, "The serving of alcohol in the afternoon, would boost food sales more than alcohol sales for the reason that the administration would not seem to be babying us, therefore more people would populate the Rat more for socializing than drinking."

Senator Mike Phelan, proposed the boycott in mid-September. Phelan said that the Nestle's Co. is using dangerous and misleading marketing techniques in the sale of its infant formula in the Third World. He claimed that Nestle's employs sales-people to masquerade as nurses to promote the product. These sales-people make false claims for the formula, saying that a child will die without it or that a child cannot subsist on mother's milk, he stated. Phelan continued, saying that the formula sold without proper instruction for its use. He stated that written instructions are usually inadequate because they are not in the language of the purchaser or because the purchasers cannot read. Rev. Edmund G.

He outlined a three-part plan developed by the Trustees. Twenty-five percent of the extra income will be returned to the student body in the form of endowments, to provide financial aid in the years to come. Twenty-five percent of the funds will be put towards rehabilitation and renovation of campus buildings. The remaining funds will go towards a salary adjustment for members of the faculty and staff. This adjustment is referred to as "deferred compensation." by Paula Horvath The Board of Trustees of Canisius College has approved a plan for the utilization of additional income, reported Rev. Edmund G. Ryan, Executive Vice- President for Academic Affairs. The plan was approved at the Board's meeting of September 30th. This additional income is a result of increased freshman and transfer student enrollment, and an increased number of credit hours taken in the Continuing Studies Program.

A dramatic rise in the number of credit hours taken under the Continuing Studies Program also made the deferred compensation possible. The faculty and staff are expected to receive their compensation in November of 1981. Also, a part of the additional income came from the 8.2% increase in tuition. However, Fr. Ryan noted that this year's tuition charges are actually less than those of last year, in terms of actual spending power. The budget for the '80-'81 school year was developed in November sf ilc)y based on swrs™ enrollment over the past five years. The extra income for these three programs came from increased enrollment.

This is an attempt to keep salaries on a par with inflation. Referring to the twenty-five percent of the additional income allocated to student development, Fr. Ryan reported that he insisted on part of the income going towards financial aid, especially since the students provide 80% of the college's earnings. In his speech at the General Faculty Meeting of September 25, Fr. Ryan outlined plans for the renovations part of the program. The renovations include, "... a plan for sandblasting Old Main, putting in new windows and redoing the corridors and classrooms . . . scheduled for completion in the summer of 1981."
