S palding Recommend s Tuition Increase By SUSAN GOLDBERG President of the College Keitt Spalding recommended last Fridaj a $125 increase in tuition , and a $2C room rental increase, along with ather recommendations set forth by the Budget Priorities Commit- tee. The hjkes would become effec- tive next semester. These decisions resulted from de- liberations held weekly since Sep- tember by the Budget Priorities Committee headed by Professor John Moss. The Committee was comprised of two students , Rick Wyman 73 and Nancy Mest '74 , three faculty members, Professors Moss , Leon Galis and Gordon Wick- strom; and two administrators, Dean of the College John Vander- zell , and Paul Linfield , Vice Presi¬ dent for Finance. After reviewing reports from all segments of the College community, the Committee made comprehensive recommenda- tions to Spalding concerning pri- orities in the allocation of funds. Moss explained that , unlike last year, the Committee did not face the task of working with a deficit in the College ' s budget. This year , however, the charge of the Budget Priorities Committee was not to cut expenditu res to balance the budget , but , Moss said , "to expand the budget prudently to improve the morale of the entire campus community." Salary Increases The Committee set the total com- pensation of the College ' s fa culty and employees as their highest pri¬ ority m considering the budget foi next year. "Many of them have had little or no raises for the pas1 two years , " said Moss. Other priorities cited by Moss include funds for the improvement of academic programs , student life, and faculty development . There- fore, the Committee recommended an increase in tuition. Compre- hensive tuition fees for next year would be $2675, while room rates would total $520. The board fee of $620 was not increased. "We felt that a big step had to be taken this year because so little had been done for the last two years," said Moss. "However, " he continued , " it should be clearly understood that in the salary area , comparable increases probably won't be possible in succeeding years. " Effects of Inflation With regard to tuition and room rental increases, Moss pointed ou1 that because of overall inflation, the cost of living has gone up, while, m the last two years there has been almost no increase in Col- lege salaries. Consequently, pur- chasing power in all areas has been going down. Since there was no tu- ition increase last year, the $125 tuition hike is actually split over two years. "We felt that we had to get more funds into operation of the College, " said Moss, " or the quality of the institution would suffer. " President Spalding, general Col- lege officers , and the Budget Pri¬ orities Committee reviewed the recommendations at a meeting or January 29. Spalding followed the suggestions of the Committee on most of the items upon which they h ad deliberated. He would like to see app roximately $162,500 ear- marked for compensation to Col- lege employees. Moss feels that what the Committee and Spalding agreed upon could greatly im- prove conditions at the College next year for both students and College employees To begin completion of the budget , the President will shortly ask department chairmen and di- vision heads to submit budget pro- posals for the coming year by March 1.

President of the College KeittSpalding recommended last Fridaja $125 increase in tuition, and a $2Croom rental increase, along withather recommendations set forthby the Budget Priorities Commit-tee. The hjkes would become effec-tive next semester.

These decisions resulted from de-liberations held weekly since Sep-tember by the Budget PrioritiesCommittee headed by ProfessorJohn Moss. The Committee wascomprised of two students, RickWyman 73 and Nancy Mest '74,three faculty members, ProfessorsMoss, Leon Galis and Gordon Wick-strom; and two administrators,Dean of the College John Vander-zell, and Paul Linfield, Vice Presi¬

Moss explained that, unlike lastyear, the Committee did not facethe task of working with a deficit inthe College's budget. This year,however, the charge of the BudgetPriorities Committee was not tocut expenditu res to balance thebudget, but, Moss said, "to expandthe budget prudently to improvethe morale of the entire campuscommunity."

Salary IncreasesThe Committee set the total com-

pensation of the College's facultyand employees as their highest pri¬

ority m considering the budget foinext year. "Many of them havehad little or no raises for the pas1two years," said Moss.

Other priorities cited by Mossinclude funds for the improvementof academic programs, student life,and faculty development . There-fore, the Committee recommendedan increase in tuition. Compre-hensive tuition fees for next yearwould be $2675, while room rateswould total $520. The board fee of$620 was not increased.

"We felt that a big step had tobe taken this year because so littlehad been done for the last twoyears," said Moss. "However," hecontinued , "it should be clearlyunderstood that in the salary area,comparable increases probably

Pa nel Rep ort Terms Elections Valid;Senate Considers Pr op osal on Friday

By LANCE KIMMEL The ad hoc committee on Student

Elections has recommended in itsreport that Doug Farmer andEric Stone should not be givenseats on the Senate.

The Senate will vote on the pro-posal at its February 9 meeting.

The report, which was sent tocollege senators and has now beenmade public to the general collegecommunity, answers the questions,"Was there a valid election held?"and "Did the juniors have a 50Per cent turnout?" Professor Wal-ter Leser, committee chairman, ad-mitted that "procedures were lessthan optimal" in the conduct of theelection, but added "we reachedconsensus" that the juniors did notrightfully elect two senators onNovember 8,1972.

A committee composed of Leser,Professor Carl Meier, and student

Dan Ruzow 73 was appointed bslast year's Senate president, Professor Charles Stewart, to investi-gate the Senate election after dis-putes over its procedures andwhether or not the juniors didin fact fail to attain a majorityvote. The board of three tooklengthy testimony, Leser reported,from the Student Rules Committee,Dean of Students Ronald Stead,student senator Brian Andreoli ,Registrar Nancy Rutter, and agroup of concerned students in-cluding Fanner and Stone, at anopen hearing. "It was not too wellattended," Leser noted.

TRUST MEC

2 THE COLLEGE REPOR TER February 6, 1973

EDITORIAL COMMEN|J |January Semester

Even though the smoke hasn 't yet cleared and the grades aren 'lyet in, -we'd like to risk our academic careers by saying a few wordsabout the College's first January semester. We realize that the so-called official reports haven 't been issued yet, but that hasn 't deterredus in the past.

The comments we are going to make on the January programare the result of rather vague vibrations we've received from studentswho participated in the mini-semester. So on one hand, we aren 't yelexperts on the subject. On the other hand , one of us has had first-hand experience with one aspect of the January semester, so in an-other sense, we know something about what we're talking about.

We feel that the January semester was a success, despite thecontroversies over costs and housing. It allows a student a little moreflexi bility in planning his college career, and there is nothing badabout that. Secondly, it's a time for experimentation , in the grand oldtradition of libera l arts colleges. And after all, we are a libera l artsinstitution , aren 't we?

We would have been surprised if there had been no flaws withthe program, mainly because it's the first time its been tried. There arebound to be a few mistakes made the fi rst time around. But on thewhole, the January Semester provided an opportunity for some ratherexciting courses to be taught, and judg ing from the student opinionwe've already sampled , they were well worth it.

We feel that the important thing now is for students who haveparticipated in the program to provide the administration with someaccurate feedback, so that the College can become aware both of theJanuary Semester's shortcomings and its advantages. Students shouldfeel free to comment on any aspect of the program , from academiccontent to tuition and housing costs.

Finally, let no one forget that the January Semester was moslimportantly a money-making scheme for the College, and its con-tinuation is contingent on the success of the progra m in thisrespect. However, seeing that we've already made a fuss about thehig h tuition , we see no reason to add that the College in all probabilityraked in a considerable amount.

One administrative source was quoted as saying that 80 per centof the student body should participate in a January program for it tobe successful. Ten per cent of the F and M student body participatedin the College's first January program , and we don 't feel that it was afailure. More and more students will sign up for successive Januarycourses, once the program becomes established. Meanwhile , even ifas few as fen students have a worthwhile experience, we see amplereason for the continuation of the January Semester .

Record Review

For the Roses

By MARK MILLERThe extraordinary songstress

who gave us "Both Sides Now,""Chelsea Morning," "Woodstock,"and several fine albums, justifiesher reputation again on her latestwork, For the Roses. It representsa more mature progression fromher last album, Blue in both itsmedium and its message. For whileJoni's music is itself becomingmore complex and interesting, hersongs are beginning to treat otherthemes besides ber favorite one—love. The last few lines of Bluefound Joni "Only a dark cocoonbefore I get my gorgeous wings/and fly away/ Only a phase, thesedark cafe days." Well the darkcafe days seem to be over, and thecocoon is very slowly becoming abutterfly. Although she has yet tofind real fulfillment, she has suc-ceeded in finding out and revealingmore about herself on each album.

"Banquet" is typical Mitchell, be-ginning very much like "My OldMan," with Joni soloing on thepiano, her voice simple and sweet,with an occasional tremolo. Thisis her view of an unfair worldoverseen by a god who seems not tocare, and certainly not to deliver:"Some get the gravy/ And someget the gristle/ Some get the mar-row bone/ and some get nothing/Though there's plenty to spare."We move next to a song of con-trasts—from the title's imagery,"Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire,"to the harsh but natural pickingand sliding sounds of 'her guitar,to, the incredible purity of hervoice describing a harrowing vis-ion of heroin addiction, in whichLady Release beckons: "You can'tdeny me/ Now you know what youneed." This is one of several songson the album for which JamesTaylor, Joni's former flame, seemsto he the inspiration. "BarangriU"finds Joni longing for the decept-ively simple and carefree lives of

the likes of waitresses, truckdrivers, and gas station attendants.It is only, however, a superficiallonging for an easy release, similarto that provided by heroin. Herpeace of mind must come by othermeans. "Lesson in Survival" is yetanother treatment of Joni's per-ennial theme: the inability toachieve a satisfying love relation-ship: "Maybe it's paranoia/ Maybeit's sensitivity/ Your friends pro-tect you/ Scrutinize me/ I get sodamn timid/ Not at all the spirit/That's inside of me." Her relation-ship with her mother and fatheris the subject of "Let the WindCarry Me," which features wood-winds, lush piano interludes, andstrange vocal choruses — herselfoverdubbed several times. Theguitar-accompanied title song is

one of the five songs on the albumwhich lament the failure to hold onto a lover, who very much fitSweet Baby James' description Itis a bittersweet portrayal of a loneminstrel who forgets Joni m hisrise to commercial superstaidom

Platonic FriendshipStarting off side two is another

simple song about being hin t bjlove—"See You Sometime," u?usual for our time m its puttingforth the desire for even Platonicfriendship. '^Electricity," exceptfor its beautifu l melody, is a ver-bal mess, in which the use ofmetaphor is overdone to the extentof making the song a puzzle TheA.M. and F.M. hit, "You Turn MeOn I'm a Radio" is an absolutejewel of a song, the onl> totalb

Notes from the SenateVox Popuh

By STEVE SCHWABTZStudent Senator

Class of 15let me take the liberty of being

ammg the many who are welcom-ing you bad: to Franklin and Mar-shall. We student senators havemany hopes for the spring semes-ter and we do not intend to havethese hopes rendered empty, nor dowe wish to exert all of our effortsonly to witness the same level ofapathy and/or general discontentwhen we're through. It may seemtrite by now to ask for your help;a mere cliche to remark that it isyou readers, you students, whomake the Senate and its commit-tees or F and M for that matter—iyou who Tn»ir<» it work and not thefew senators you elect In truth,however, we require your opinions?nH interest not only to nra'Trt-aina proper perspective on the variedissues that arise in the Senate, butto legitimize our very existence asSenators.

Lack of SupportAll too often in the past the

motions appearing on the Senatefloor lacked a broad and deep sup-port and clear understandingamong all of us. The past seemedto lack a continuity of concerns onany specific area of collegial af-fairs. Franklin and Marshall hasmany problems which cannot becured by a single motion referringto any particular sector of theCollege. We would hope in the nearfuture to approach a commongrievance with several proposalsdesigned to rectify the situation asbest as possible. We want to at-tack problems with a greater de¬gree of sophistication, presentinga clear picture to all concerned. Itis for this reason that we arespending a great deal of time nowdiscussing all aspects of F and M.We are trying to compile a repre-sentative list of the many questionswe "fummers" have concerningboth academic and nonaeademiclife, both on-campus concerns andoff-campus problems. The trust ofour motions before the Senateshould come from all of us, earlyin the term.

Once we recognise exactly whatthe problems are and where we be-lieve the causes to lie, our taskwill be much easier and our work

much more profitable. As senators,we see our job as one of findingout some of the answers and ex-plaining to others how we studentsview an issue. We believe it to bea responsibility of all of the stu-dents of the College to raise thequestions. All too often the sena-tors alone have questioned certainpolicies at an admittedly inade-quate depth. These broad ques-tions must originate from informedand intelligible debate among usalL

Senate NewsletterSenators-elect and unsuccessful

bids alike have spoken in the pastabout a Senate Newsletter to betterinform all of us about what's hap-pening. In keeping with that prom-ise you have all received the firstof what we hope to be a continuingseries of Newsletters. In the futurewe would like to use this mediumas advance notice for upcoming

The student senators have re-quested space in the Reporter toair their views and to informstudents of important Collegepolicies. Their column, VoxPopuli, debuts with this issue inan attempt to keep the lines ofcommunications open betweenthe senators and their constitu-ency.

Senate and committee business anda possible editorial platform fromwhich Senators can address them-selves to specific motions theyplan to introduce. We now have apost office box address. We en-courage all of you to take an ac-tive part in what*s going on, or,to stimulate action on what is notgoing on around here. Write to us,The Student Senators, CampusMail, Box 137.

Our first order of business onthe agenda is selecting people for1973 committee seats. In the firstNewsletter, we outlined the selec-tion process we will employ thissemester. A letter of intent priorto an interview in the presence ofsenators, past committee chairmenand perhaps faculty, is used thistime to insure the most informativechoices possible.
