BUDGET WOES — Washington State's current economic troubles and a resulting gubernatorial executive order requiring Western to trim its operating budget by 10.1 percent could result in enrollment declines ranging from 650 to 1,300 students next year. The exact number of students who might be turned away hinges, primarily, on the final number of faculty positions Western must eliminate to deal with the budget g~- reduction. See inside for details.

estern alumni tend to share some common characteristics. One Is that they were the first (or, now, the second) Wgeneration in their families to attend college. One of the really great “fringe benefits" to living in the Evergreen State has been that any young person with reasonable learning ability, a desire to know more and enough money to pay tuition and eat could ge the education to reach his or her goals. At Western, that's our job. This ready access policy has paid off in a number of ways— mostiy as intangible parts of our lifestyle. For example, Seattle has the second highest per capita attendance of live theater in the country. The energy of the arts, the success of Seattle's 5th Avenue and Paramount theaters and the efforts behind Tacoma's Pantages project reflect the fact that Washingtonians are among the best educated people in the country. The high level technologies of our industry require a similar base of intelligent people. Washingtonians can do anything and do it well. As alumni we have directly benefited from this investment in people. However, it is becoming less likely that our children and grandchildren will find the same circumstances. This fall. Western did not enroll about 300 students who, under other circumstances, would have been accepted. Our enrollment contract did not provide for them. Given the most recent budget cuts, we may need to substantially reduce our enrollment, perhaps by another 1,300 for 1982-83. These same restraints apply to all of public higher education. The fact is that it is becoming more difficult in Washington to go to college. Future applicants will need higher grades, more money A FIFTIES' REUNION — When the folks from the '50s came to campus in August, they were and a certain amount of plain luck. The restrictions appear under greeted by warm sunshine and old friends. Above, people soaked in the sun at Lakewood as such rubrics as “fiscal policy"and “belt tightening."

In all, approximately 150 took part in the two-day event. The general reaction was that it should be done again in about five years No one can question the severity of Washington's financial when everyone has had adequate time to recover. The question has been raised about dilemma. One can be concerned that an obviously successful doing a similar multi-year gathering during the summer of '82.
