The special report focuses on major trends and changes in higher education since fiscal year 1970 as the state's first income tax,was being ushered into existence. Highlights of the report follow: - Students contributed about 7 percent of the universities operating costs in FY 1970, but the figure has risen to almost 13 percent in the current fiscal year. --Operating appropriations for the state universities have fallen behind the Cost of Living index and purchasing power per student has dropped almost $478 per student since 1970^ -- Enrollment projections look for a peak in 1981 with declines through 1990, when student headcounts will be about 44,000 less than in 1977. r~ The ratio of higher education faculty to ad-, ministrators is now almost one administrator to every two faculty members. On another topic, the state's general revenue outlook con­ tinues to show steady gains. Some of those fiscal report highlights: -- The available balance in the genial funds was $211 million Oct. 31, $108 million more than the same date one year ago. - The state's special funds (agricultural premium, fair and expositon, fire prevention, metropolitan exposition auditorium and office building, and vehicle recycling) show a surplu&Apf about $30 million, which could be transferred to the general funds by action of the Governor. ~ General state tax gaining. revenues from sources are still / Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Defender of Human Rights Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. perhaps more than any other human being of our age. has been a symbol of the human rights struggle. In his Harvard commencement speech of 1978, he made some sweeping statements which did not win him many friends. He said that America was spiritually sick, suffering from a profound loss of will. A lot of people reacted defensively. The president's wife, Rosalynn Carter, objected on the basis that We have many good people, citing those who do volunteer work in hospitals. She is right, of course, but her answer did not deal adequately with Solzhenitsyn's frightening conclusions. He was saying that we in the West will not be able to survive this threatening century if our system continues to stress the individual's rights over his or her duties to God, country and neighbor. . He claimed that we are a society where there is no higher restraint than the code of criminal law and that con­ sequently some people operate "at the extreme limit of the legal frames." \ We know, however, that legality is not our highest goal. This country ^jyas built on a fundamental belief in a higher spiritual power. The concepts of duty to God and country have been with us since our nation was founded. But we must work to keep these ideas alive in America. Solzhenitsyn survived Stalin's tortuous death camps not merely to remind the world of the atrocities of an evil system, but to warn us of the importance of remaining rooted to our spiritual values. On Human Rights Day we may boast all we want about battles we've won and progress we've made. But. if Solzhenitsyn is -right, and I for one suspect he is, the most vital challenge is still before us. The survival of human rights itself. -- State spending, on the other hand, is higher than one year ago. Figures for the first four months show that General fund spending is 5.6 percent (or $109 million) more than the same period last year.
