Contra cepti ves Hold Women’s Activities Under Pressure The Contraceptives, one of the more colorful teams in this fall’s intramural soccer league, opened up this reason with a bone, holding the Hoes to a 1-1 tic. Leading the opening game attack for the Contraceptives were Bill Ronning ir.d defensive standout Dave Cowan, team captain. The Hogs initial UJIy was scored by game MVP Bud Foss (who, inci- dently. it a member of the Con- traceptives) on a mix-up in front of the goal mouth. When inter- viewed after the game'Foss shrug- ged it off, saying, Tt was the least I could do. The tying score came on a pen- ally kick by Dick Coffey in the se- cond half. De-spite constant pres- sure by both teams, the game end- ed in a tic. fn their next encounter, the Con- traceptives gave an indication of ungj to come, defeating the Boo rs. 2-1.

Although he disclosed that action had been taken on all three of these issues, no final resolution ha beer, reached on any of them. The Longly Report issued sixty- four recommendations to the Univer- sity of Main Board of Trustees which recommended sweeping charges in the university system Right of these recommendations dealt with the Portland-Gorham branch. Of these eight recommenda- tions. one was rejected outright, another hud already been adopted, a third had been partially put into practice and the jury was still de- clared out on the rest. A report from the Board of Trustees about the study and the recommendations for the Portland-Gorham campus appear in this issue. The Maine Management and Cost Survey Commission rccom mend that the voter approved 1.4 million dollar science facility be moved to Gorham. Thus suggestion was turned down. Action on the building has already begun. said Fridinger, We're just beginning work with the architects and hope to start construction on it next spring. Recommendation No. 36 concern- ing Utilization of the present com- ulcrized student accounting system buy less expensively in Gorham than m Portland. But the land bough tin Gorham would probably be undrrvelop- ed land so we would have to drain it. build sewage systems and build oaas t .......................... for the has been already done before the survey came out Recommendation No. 31 dealt with the completion of the Joint Action Cotnmuason’s study on University Goals and Directions and the adoption of overall objectives for Portland-Gorham. ‘The Joint Action Commission completed their and pave ---------------- „ Portland these things are already there. We use their sow agesyitemiand the town maintains the roads. “All in all this is a complex pro- cedure and we do not have the an- swers. The problem hae been here (or years. Wc hope to have a master plan in the foreseeable futute.” The major problem in replying to the the recommendation» was the general lack of data in the Longley Report, Fridinger pointed out. We were given just enough information to Sily to the Report, Wc need more ormatton about what data they used. We hive to know what they St talked about . As It stands now 50% of the sixty-eight recommendations were approved, twenty-six needed further study and only -tight were disapproved The Acting President said he will not suffer from any lack of informa- tion if he had to make a decision on SCOGIS as his “modus operand: a to get enough information and then make a decision. If the University Council meet in the near future and iurecommendaiion reaches the President’s desk before November 1. Fridinger will likely act upon it. Mi'ler said to me not to .slow up anytning, to keep UMPG moving and don’t wait for decision to be made by him. Dr. Mac Leod is trying to speed up the recommenda- tions to be presented before the Continuing Education Divisior Council. He (Mac Leod) wants a tt implemented. This was destcion on this matter one way or the other before wc get very for along in thi planning for next semes- ter. sa:d Fridinger. When asked what he would do if the University Council reversed the stand of Mac I .cod and the Deans and recommended that SCOGIS be continued past this semester he study and some of their recommends- stated, A recommendation from lions have already been adopted. Fridinger added that tho new Presi- dent will develop more fully the goals and missions of this University. The rest of the recommendations fell into the category of further study Nos. 62 and 37 drew quit» a bit of comment form the Acting President. The latter suggestion proposes that the post of university archivist be abolished while the formerurges that Gorham be developed as the center of general academic programs and administration. The position of university archivist created at the time of the merger, marks by Fndtngcr. Beforethe», merger the records of the university just piled up in basements, closets or file cabinet . We had a lot of exce» paper and sometimes things were thrown away that shouldn’t have been Now the plan u that at certain stated intervals, all papers axe sent to Marge Dura! (the archivist! the University Council does not mean it is. mandatory for me to act. But I'll say this, I would take the recom- mendation from the Council saying it should continue and go back and •hrash this out with the Deans and Vice-President, to see if some com- promise couldn't be affected. 1 would also seek further information on the problem. Fridinger said. he couldn't say when asked what his decision would be tf the Council also agreed that SCOGIS should be discontinued after this semester. Tho issues arc more dearcut con- cerning the shuttle buses. It was apparent to everyone who rode, the buses that a third was desperately ncc-dcd. A third bus has now been added, the only problem is how to pay for it. I don't know where the money k coming from but this was some- we had to have. We had to thing we had to have, we nan to think of tin- safety of students, as for inspection when they are no longe “1 r.cedwfm the day to day operation b htoT’ The money could come from the of the school. She goes throuxh the records and keeps about 10% wh:ch she tay is important. This ts just good business practice These records should be kept if people want to study the University. Designating Gorham a the chief campus is a subject for much discus sion and debate. Fridinger pointed out some of the practical aspect of tho problem. We’ve talked to our resident engineers and the university system’s engineers and they felt wc could add several more buildings in Gorham. But It would be a definite number unless wo bought more land. Tne sewage and heating plants :n Gorham arc operating close to capacity We could add more buildings in Port- land without more lapd but parking would be a problem. Yet we have the space to devise more parking In unit costs, we could probably President’s contingency fund, however Fndingerdtsckywd that this year only $12,500 was allotted to this furid com- pared to the $50,000 allocated last year. The amount needed for the third bus is in the range of $7-8,000. An attempt to pay for this conveyance entirely out of the fund would for all intents and purposes bankrupt it, Fridinger felt. He aid suggest u possible solution though When you’re dealing with a multi million dollar budget, there' a little flexibility. Some project wc would have started this year, will just have to be put off this year. In a moment cf reflection on being President. Fridinger uidl I've made a lot of decisions and I only hope a percentage of them are good ones. by Hike Ksralunot

J’ll lose money, but the public de- serves a break. Glick said as be began soiling the meat at what he said were IMS prices. ‘Click's taking a loess and. it's my gain,” said customer Thomas Lawrence. “He’s a nice guy and he’s giving Pitts- burgh a break. ' Click says he cut h»s prices because “peoplo haven’t had a chance to cat meat at today's prices.” A bargain basement sale atmosphere surrounded Click’s meat counter as cus- tomers jostled, shouted and occasionally lost their tempers in taking advantage of the price bargains. Wo got here at 2 a n»., said Bob Skulman, ore of a group of fraternity men from Cornegic-Mcllon University.

But we decided to wait until this morning,said Margaret Lewis. She and her friend, Jan Copeland, joined the line about 6 a.m. to buy T-bonc steaks. Steak tastes better at 99 cents a pound, Mrs. Lewis said. Glick claims there arc no gimmicks. This i; a carload of USDA top choice grade beef, be said.
