The state board of regents, two weeks ago, had called for all state funded universities to cut their • budgets by more than a million dollars. The BOR was responding to Governor Bob Marti­ nez and the legislature's proposed reduction of 2. 7 5 9 percent of all state agencies funds. This measure was taken because state revenue funds failed to cover the finances budgeted for the year. This is the first time lottery money has been used the lessen the impact a budget cut. Previously, $150 million was taken from lottery funds to cover past miscalculations in the general revenue funding. Holsenbeck said, "It is a shame the lottery funds have to be used to pay for day to day operations instead of their original purpose [to improve state universities]." As a solution, Holsenbeck said, ''The only way to get around using the lottery funds [to replace money which should have been generated by general reve­ nue funds] is to increase the state's tax base." Paul Williams, local Florida Lottery spokesman, Jorge AlvareZICENTRAL FLOR IDA FUTURE said, "The local chapter has no statement about the TOTAL CHAOS use of this lottery money." Dr. Harry W.
