Smith said the ad hoc committee would
"assume the faculty responsibility to deal
with inflation" by exploring the inflation
problems at [K and suggesting
fundamental changes in the l'niversity
system for "cutting back" on costs.

Smith said the l'niversity works on a
half million dollar paper budget per year.
and that by simply printing on both sides of
the paper. paper costs could be cut in half

He also suggested cutting back on the
number of memorandums. forum
schedules and forms sent out by the
l'niversity Senate and other

administrative offices. but added several
of these cutbacks would require changes in
the l'niversity rules and
regulations

imlude rescheduling of sortie weekend
classes to cut back on fuel consumption.
reevaluation of textbooks and other paper
materials required by professors in
classes and changing the nature of some
laboratories to conserve fuel and steam

"The faculty's vested interest in this is
not wholly altruistic.” Smith said. “We
should be thinking in terms of the ultimate
availability of classroom lilClllllCS,”

Hopefully. if the limversity could cut
paper costs and fuel consumption. more
money could be available for teacher
salanes. the hiring of higher—caliber
technicians and research assistants and
better facilities and instruments for
