The room shortage was attributed to the new residency policy approved by UMass trustees in Spring 1975. It stated that all students, with the exception of seniors, commuters, and married students are required to reside on campus. For those students remaining in triples after 6 weeks, a 30 percent room fee reduction was grant- ed. Stuart Eyman w William Howell W i

K - H'4 A-yilli iw., 177' ' i' One late iafternoon, etime in the twenty-first century, the old man slowly climbed the creaking stairs to his attic. As easy smile came across his face as he anticipated the memories he would in a few moments unlock. Exploring through a cetain very old and very dusty trunk, he came upon an old book with a tarnished silver cover. He opened it, and began to carefully leaf through it. He hadn't seen the old style black and white pictures for, oh, must be twenty years. Some pages fell out, some ripped in his handg he lingered upon the ones that stayed together. The old book did indeed bring back those memories - some good, some bad. Then, a piece of paper fell out of the antique book. He unfolded it, and gazed upon the surprisingly modernistic I C. . . yPHe laughed at the seemingly insignificant numbers. He could remember back when the Amherst campus was UMass, now, alas, it was but the smallest of the four campuses. He folded the paper, reminding himself to show it to his wife. She'll get a kick out of it, he thought. He turned the page, and read on.

Due to the hiring freeze, the English department was forced to take on 25 Rhetoric sec- tions, the number of Teaching Assistants were cut back and class sizes were in- creased, services to students were de- creased, library equipment could not be readily repaired, dorm counselors were no longer given tuition waivers, and sala- ries were cut back. Also, residential collo- quiums were forced to decrease enroll- ment. fifth iz ' -.'tl:C' William Howel S.G.A. President John O'Keefe ad- dressed 600 students at a campus ral- ly against budget cuts. O'Keefe pre- sented his tax proposal for the State saying, When you can't afford the price of bread, it's time to eat the rich. He also suggested that students should boycott any tuition hike, and other increased campus fees. Other speakers at the rally stressed student unionization and collective bargaining. Controversy surrounded 'Quinni- piac', an 18' high, 15,000 lb., 540,000 sculpture erected in front of the Fine Arts Center. Robert Murphy was com- missioned by the Fine Arts Selection Committee to fabricate the sculpture to complement the Center. 'Quinni- piac' was funded by the Ulvlass Alurnni, UMass Student Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington D.C., for the express pur- pose of adding a permanent art forno to the campus. Within several weeks. 'Quinnipiac' had required repaintlngs due to the work of graffiti artists. The Fine Arts Center was the site of several other sculptures which were on loan to the University.
