Revised version of school budget proposes $14-per-unit tuition hike
By Brandon Bailey
Staff Writer
The revised version of the university budget proposal for next year calls for a 10% hike in tuition which will increase the rate from $140 per unit to $154 per unit.
The budget also calls for a 21.4% increase in medical school tuition and a 16% increase for dental school rates. These larger increases are due to a partial cutback in federal funds which the medical and dental schools have been receiving. Because the federal funding will be completely phased out bv 1980, comparable increases in medical and dental school tuition can be expected again in 1980-81.
The first budget proposed for next vear had called for a smaller (8.57%) increase in the regular
tuition rate. The change to a 10% increase is one of several revisions made since the first proposal in December.
The current version of the budget proposal is a much closer projection than the original proposal, said John Curry, director of management planning. The preliminary proposal had projected a $2,122,630 deficit, but Currv said it had been based on a five-year forecast of “general assumptions” about the university.
"We used the forecast to get us into the ballpark with numbers for the President's Advisory Council committee to discuss," Currv said. The revised proposal was based on a more detailed studv of projected costs and incomes, he said.

Rev. Moon’s followers launch campus crusade

About 40 zealous missionaries have launched a campus-wide crusade, distributing leaflets and espousing the principles of Rey. Sun Myung Moon.
Members of the Collegiate Assn. for the Research of Principles (CARP) hope to share ideas and help restore man to his ideal state, said Ashley Crosthwaite, CARP worksliop coordinator.
The week-long stint here is part of a statewide tour of university campuses. Last week the troop hit UCLA and future targets include Northndge, Long Beach and Santa Barbara, Crosthwaite said.
CARP will cosponsor "The Up Encounter," a student festival at 3 p.m. Friday at Kinsey Auditorium in the Museum of Science and Industry.
Rev. Moon first organized CARP in 19M at a Japanese university He came to the United States in 1973 and established the group at Columbia University.
CARP is now represented in 120 countries throughout the world, Crosthwaite said.
"The church has done every thing for me" said Crosthwaite, a 15-month member, who first met the group in San Francisco. "I feel my relationship with God is much closer."
Crosthwaite said he was sent here from England bv God.
The group's religion is an integration of scientific and theocratic principles developed by Rev. Moon, seeks to unify all people regardless of race or religion, Crosthwaite said.
It is based on the "Divine Principle'' of creation, man's fall and man's

viewed Tuesday by the resource management and planning committee of the President's Advisory Council. The committee w’ill make recommendations to the- administrators re~ponsible for finalizing the budget, although the committee has no formal veto power on the matter.
The Student Senate had called for an 8.5% ceiling on tuition increases when the original version of the budget was presented to the council committee in December. Suzanne Nora, chairman of the Student Senate and a member of the committee, said she thought the Student Senate's recommended ceiling would be incorporated into the committee's report.
The originally proposed 8.5% increase would have raised tuition to $152 per unit. Nora commented that while the 10% increase would raise rates only $2 more per unit the change was not justified.
"We won't accept anything over 8.57%. We don't think the universitv has come through (with satisfactory services and student facilities)," Nora said.
Currv said the change in tuition increase is one of a number of revisions made when his office began a detailed study of the university's budgetary needs for next year
"The Student Senate posed a difficult problem — they said keep tuition, but provide these services," Curry said. Students are justified in asking for "a long list of services," but these services cost money, Curry said.
Curry cited an increased allocation to Campus Security for improving equipment and increasing patrols as one example of a service that contributed to the overall increase in costs for next year.

Mideast group plans to finalize guidelines
The special committee on the Middle East Center reported its progress Wednesday to the Faculty Senate, and announced that finalized guidelines may be given to President John R Hubbard in March.
Carl Christol, chairman of the committee and a professor in political science, said the committee will interview John H Marburger, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and John A. Schutz, dean of social sciences and communications at the next committee meeting. Finalized proposals for the center should follow soon after.
Christol said since the committee's first meeting Dec. 8, they have heard the opinions of several persons concerned about the proposal of a Middle East Center at the university.
The interviews followed invi-

tations by the committee to selected individuals and to the public.
The committee heard opinions from President John Hubbard, Zohrab A. Kaprielian, executive vice-president, Paul E Hadley, vice-president, and Willard Bel-ing, director of the center and occupant of the King Faisal Chair. Representatives for the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith and the American Jewish Committee were also interviewed.
Information was also obtained from studies ot Harvard, Princeton, UCLA, the Universitv of Chicago and the University of Michigan, institutions experienced in the area of adopting foundations focusing on the Middle East.

Ballet dancer or dissident? Will the real Shcharansky please stand up
By Bob Conti

"A Russian ballet dancer?"
"Oh, I think he's a race car driver..."
"The washerwomen's union leader."
Remember back in grade school, when the teacher gave a quiz on current events, how hard it was to recognize Abbie Hoffman (didn't she write an advice column?) or Spiro Agnew?
The Daily Trojan ran a "Who's Who" quiz last year, and received a variety of responses, the most ego-defeating being that no one knew the identity of the Daily T’-ojan editor.
Here are the results of the Who's Who of 1979.
Out of nearly 100 people questioned, almost everyone knew who the major figures were.
Some people were easy. Just about everyone knew Ayatollah Khomaini, Cvrus Vance and Elvis Costello.
lawny Little, an anchorman fora local newscast was well-known and several men started drooling at her name (it reminded me of one of Pavlov's dogs).
Other major figures included Anatoly Shcharanskv, a Russian dissident who recently left the Soviet Union Otis Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, and Chuck Mangione, a flugelhorn player who recently
won a Grammy Award for Jazz Artist of the Year.
Out of the three, Mangione did very well, a few knew who Chandler was, and only one person (from Kenya) knew of Shcharansky.
Entertainers, some current, some old, did well. Just about everyone knew Arthur Godfrey, Rudy Vallee and Patti Smith.
University "celebrities" did not fare as well. It seemed Zohrab Kaprielian, dean of engineering and executive vice-president, was known mostly to engineering students. One person thought he was the leader of the Iranian Students Club.
Other locals were unknown. Suzanne Nora, chairman of the Student Senate, generated shrugs of the shoulder. Rich Bozanich, Daily Trojan editor, fared as well. A couple of people guessed that Bozanich raced cars, was "some foreigner" or played baseball for a minor league team.
The answer to who is J. Robert Fluor, chairman of the Board of Trustees, was, "I think, but I'm not sure, he's the union leader for the washerwomen.
Norman Topping, university chancellor, brought on two major responses.
I think there's a building named after him, some-
