A "single-mission college" is the University's newest campus. Classes began and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Sept. 27 at the University of Minnesota Technical College, Waseca. Still to come is a week of dedication events that will begin Nov. 29 and end with an open house Dec. 5. The single mission of the school is to prepare graduates for semiprofessional or mid-management positions in the broad field of agriculture and related areas, Provost Edward Frederick explained in a telephone interview.

Some of the budget cuts at the Uni­ versity hurt. And the pain has been expressed in the Minnesota Daily, on the floor of the Uni­ versity Senate, at a meeting of the Legis­ lature's University Study Commission, at an open hearing of two Regents' com­ mittees, and through just about every other forum available to students and faculty. Students say they are being left out of the new budgeting process. Some teach­ ing assistants say their jobs are being sacrificed to make room for new assistant professors. Some junior faculty members say their jobs are being threatened to pro­ tect tenured faculty or high-paid adminis­ trators.

4 Summer Tuition Down In approving the 1972 Summer Session budget, the University Regents had some good news for summer stu­ dents. Tuition cost per credit-hour will be lowered to $12.50, down from the $14 per credit charged students during the 1971 summer session. The total budget submitted was $2,484,131. Included in that was a spec i a I Iegis Iat ive appropriation of $393,600, which the University requested of the 1971-72 Legislature at the urging of the Regents. The Regents sought the special funds to equalize summer session tuition with that for the regular school year. "The Regents felt that students should not be penalized for summer study," said Willard L. Thompson, director of Summer Session, "particularly since 60 Sgt.

THE STUDENTS SPEAK­ Throughout the week, students were complaining that their side of the story was never presented by the local news media. A few of them were interviewed early Saturday by Bill Huntzicker of the University News Service. "Taking the street is the deepest way of showing our concern about the war without being violent," said AI Badiner, student government vice president, about the construction of the barricades. "We have to do more than writing letters and parading around on a sidewalk." Both Badiner and Nancy Fride, a soph­ f~; ! omore in journalism, stressed that stu­ 1 dents at "strike headquarters" were working to keep violence at a minimum. "Right now we're sending out feelers checking out or judging the mood of the crowd. Then we send people to calm down incidents so that no violence will take place," Miss Fride said. Wednesday on the mall, Miss Fride said, "I was maced, tear gassed, and hit. I have a cracked rib. And I was nonviolent, carrying bandages to those who were hurt." But she said many students were as much to blame as police. "When tempers erupt on both sides there's not much we can do about it. That's why we're trying to keep students away from police."
