1. Tap what is referred to as soft money This is unspent money that has been carried over from the previous year and ear-marked for special projects. It also covers money that has been building up in speical university accounts for projects or programs that are self-substaining and in .some instances made a profit. These accounts are calJed rotary accounts. 2. Reduce or eliminate items such as office supplies, travel, departmental reserves, or terminate hiring of non-academic employees. The committee incorporated both alternatives. Its first action was to estimate the amount of money to be cut which was judged to be almost $2 million. The total amount was reduced by taking money from several areas considered university-wide. The UBC took its mission with great seriousness but could not reach an accord suitable to all of its members. Division existed between the academic members, the support services such as student life, the physical plant, and the branch campuses. The three students stood in the middle with no immediate vested interests except a high quality of academic and student life services programs. Prior to the re- adjustment period in late October, none of the students had any experience with budgets or even university administration. They voted on many facets of the university including the retention of part or all of WOUB-AM FM and TV, elimination of the subsidy to the dormitories (possibly forcing a fee hike, a reduction in food services and the partial or complete reduction of the resident life assistant ' s program), scaling down of the intercollegiate athletics (possibly resulting in the elimination of a major sport such as football or a series of minor sports such as soccer and hockey), elimination of administrative support units, and reduction of salary increases for contract personnel. A ten day series of meetings only resulted in a fairly divided committee. The president felt the UBC had not fully performed its tasks and called a special meeting in which each member was to explain to him his feelings on the dividing of the university ' s financial resources. It was to be an informative meeting for him and also accountability session of the UBC ' s deliberation. It was broadcasted live over WOUB-AM. The six hour show succeeded in alerting the university community to its severe budget crisis. Within a short period of time Dr. Sowle released a major reorganization of the entire university. The president eliminated a number of high administrative positions and reduced money to the student life areas. BUDGET 23

Welcome aboard THE MAGICAL TOUR! What ' s ! mystery is why this is billed as a MYSTERY ur! We all know where we ' re going. We ' re ■oing to the Health Center, to see the hysicians, the nurses, the bottles, the eedles, the pills, the x-rays and all arts of neat STUFF! o come along on the tour, reminisce in ASHION. See now how it ' s not so bad, what ou may once have avoided with PASSION! IRST STOP, of course, is the WAITING ROOM ad the check-in desk where you sign in, lease. Have you an ID CARD, and a PAID EE RECEIPT? No? Well, no matter-you on ' t NEED one for THIS tour No WONDER ley call it MAGICAL! ii those files there behind the check-in esk, complete records and maintained on pproximately 25,000 (count ' em) students n the main and branch campuses. These ealth record ' s are the property of Ohio fniversity and their PRIVACY is GUARANTEED! lo one other than physicians, staff members nd clerical help are allowed to view these 3cords. In almost every case, if a physican allows confidential records to be revealed without the patient ' s WRITTEN permission, the physician may be liable for a damage suit and could lose his license to practice. (You wonder why they ' re STILL practicing. You ' d THINK they ' d KNOW how by now!) ANYWAYS, the physician has ETHICAL, MORAL and LEGAL obilgations to the patient to keep the records strictly confidential. Medical service is the HEART of the university ' s health service program. Intermediate and general inpatient care is provided by the Hudson Health Center EVERY day of the year. The next stop-The Outpatient Medical Clinic-is staffed (or is that staphed?) by SEVEN physicians, each with his own office, waiting room, examining room and staff nurse. The physicians who BATTLED the BUGS and BREAKS this year were J. Montgomery Beck, Arthur Dalton, Bruce Heintz, Elizabeth Hoover, Raymond Jennings, Richard Jones and Leland Randies. HEALTH CENTER 25
