Edge of Inge BY STEVE INGE / Director of Alumni Relations esperation is a strange muse. It does not perch lightly on one's shoulder, providing sweet inspiration. It lands on the gut, ties a knot or two, and whispers about the need to get the column to Dthe editor before noon . . . “or else.” There may be an entire school of educational administration called the “Knot In the Gut” model. It would be predicated on the concept that no educational establishment can function unless it is In a constant state of turmoil. In practice, this can be seen in the seemingly endless string of budget cuts that Western has faced over the past four years. The new state budget, serving for the 1983-85 season, carries with it some features that may help to ameliorate anxieties the “gut” model inflicts upon people. It states very specifically how many faculty Western will have for these two years: 421. To the student, it promises a stable curriculum. There are areas within the new budget that cause great concern. One is the student services portion. Funded by a formula driven by enrollment figures and contorted by percentages of reality, student services has been mandated a decrease from 65 percent to 55 percent of formula. Mind you this is not a 10 percent reduction, but a reduction of one-sixth, of 16.67 percent. That is a lot of problem to manage. Student services Include financial aid, staff, career planning and placement services, the union building, health services, the counseling center, academic advisement, and a great number of other things that are an integral part of providing the best education that Western is able to provide. You don't casually remove one-sixth. Some areas are relatively more stable. Ironically for yOu^fhe that serves alumni more than any other, the credential and resume service of the career planning and placement office, may have an increased difficulty in helping you. We trust that you will be patient and understanding if your credentials are not shipped quite as quickly as they have been in the past. The staff of that excellent Western division will continue to serve you to the best of its ability.
