Grant Funds Available For Private Research (CPS)—The Fall of 1971 has been bad financially for many colleges and univer sities. Since May at least 12 small, private institutions of higher education have closed their doors due to financial difficulties. Enrollments in all private institutions are down and many state schools are caught between budget slashing legislatures and student and faculty demands for more and better services and salaries. Many private institutions have found their enrollments down sharply from recent years. Even the big 20 have felt the pinch, Harvard’s enrollment is down 12%, Yale’s is down 18%. Three other Ivy League schools have noted similar drops as have Stanford, Northwestern, and M.I.T. Even with the slack in private institutions being taken up by the less expen sive state university systems, the total enrollment figures, according to the U. S. Office of Education, will see a rise of only 2.5%— considerably less than in past years. The only state university system in the country show ing substantial gains is the State College and University system of New York. Their applications rose 15% this year. The most popular campus was SUNY at Stoney- brook; they had 8,500 appli cations for 968 freshmen openings. In Minnesota, eleven out of fifteen private schools in the state are raising their tuition by 10% this year. Stu dents at all seven Minnesota state supported colleges face a tuition increase of 50c a quarter-hour, or 7% over-all.

The money, according to Boland, was given to the school by the N. C. Intern ship Office and while part of the money is tentatively scheduled to be used as grants for part of the ex perimentation and research in Soc. 100 course, at least part of the other half of the money can be allocated to anyone interested in doing private research in the area. “We’re really interested in stimulating private research here,” says Boland. The grant funds are part of an effort on the part of the ex perimentation and increased emphasis on student-center ed work is the joint effort of Boland, Lecturer Lee Kitt- redge and Instructor Bob Brunk. Anyone interested in applying for funds in a re search project should con tact Boland, Kittredge or Brunk in The Sociology Department. m ±n.sjLde: Students Have Complaints About Morrison’s Administrative Inefficiency Marks Financial Aid (editorial) Golfers Retain Trophey Soccer Club Having Good Season An Interview with Daniel Ellsburg see page 3 see page 2 see page 7 see page 7 see page 4 After it’s controversial closing last April, the campus radio station WUNF faces an uncertain future.
