Kunstler refuses compromise Schools find money tight
District court judge offers mistrial
ST. PAUL Minn. (A*) — There ap
peared Tuesday to be a difference
of opinion over whether defense
attorneys in the Wounded Knee
trial in St. Paul were privately
offered a mistrial by the presiding
judge.
William Kunstler, defense at
torney in the trial of American
Indian Movement leaders Dennis
Banks and Russell Means, says
he and his colleagues refused an
offer of a mistrial from U. S.
District Court Judge Fred Nichol.
However, Judge Nichol said
he did not make an outright of
fer of a mistrial.
“We refused the offer,” said
Kunstler. “We said we would not
settle for anything short of a dis
missal.”
However, Judge Nichol said he
met with defense atorneys and
U. S. attorneys separately on
Sunday and discussed the probab
ility “that a mistrial might be
clearly justified.” He said dismis
sal might be in order because of
the difficulty the defense has had
in getting evidence from the gov
ernment and because the jury has
been in recess for more than three
weeks.
Nichol said he acknowledged to
both the defense and the govern
ment he would have to have the
defense’s consent for a mistrial
because it had not been requested
by the defense.
Nichol said he has made no de
cision on how he will rule on the
defense motion for dismissal.
NEW YORK (TP) — Caught in
a financial crush, universities to
day are being forced to borrow
budget and administrative pro
cesses from corporate manage
ment, a procedure often thought
to be fraught with danger.
The fear, actively expressed
by deans and students alike, is
that the use of business techni
ques eventually if not immediately
means the ascendancy of money
over education.
Inefficiency, it is said, must
be tolerated for the sake of truth.
Academic standards, the ar
gument continues, must not be in
fringed upon by financial stand
ards.
But when financial inefficiency
constitutes the threat rather than
the alleged safeguard, as is the
case with scores of universities
today, administrations are forced
to act. And so, business tech
niques come to campus.

At the University of Pennsyl
vania, which handles more than
$200 million in funds a year, Mar
tin Meyerson president, has bor
rowed a technique from the world
of conglomerates and instituted
what he calls responsibility cen
ters.
In a business conglomerate
these units would be called profit
centers, but profit isn’t the goal
of a university. Neither is loss,
however, so the 22 centers are
assigned the main responsibility
for supporting themselves.
Each school within the univer
sity must make its own decisions
on how its earned income, mainly
tuition, is to be used. Instead of
simply applying to the university
for financing, it must learn to
live within its income.
Decision making is thus diver
sified in each school. If a school
wants to increase the ratio of
faculty to students it must jus
tify the move financially. If it
wants to offer more student aid
it must check its bank account
first.
Each center is also assessed for
costs of the university as a cen
tral enterprise, depending upon
the use it makes of libraries and
other common facilities. And each
school shares in the university’s
general income.
If a responsibility center wants
to embark on a new project that
might result in sharp startup
cost, it can borrow from what
is called the inter-center bank at
the prime rate. It can save there
too.
Prof. John Hobstetter, a met
allurgist and chairman of the
university budget committee,
speaks directly about the conse
quences of a center not main
taining good financial relations
with the bank.
Special Senate
meeting called
for insurance
A student health insurance policy
must be voted on by the Senate
tonight.
The last meeting of the 1973-74
Senate will be in Room 701 of the
Rudder Tower at 7:30 p.m. The
meeting will consider only the student
health insurance renewal The bill is on
emergency reading.
The new policy under consideration
is much the same as the old one, said
Barry Brooks, vice president of student
services elect. He said that it is a
two-year contract renewable after the
first year at the same rates. The policy
will be with Mutual of Omaha through
D. M. Jackson of Bryan.
“The advantage of taking a two-
year contract is that we get guaranteed
prices of the second year even though
the policy is only renewable after the
first,” said Brooks.
