ADMINISTRATION;

HALIFAX. (CUP) University administrators in the three Maritime provinces should know within two weeks how much of a subsidy the Council of Maritime Premiers is willing to contribute to offset cperating costs at Maritime universities next year. ‘ '

'Ihe premiers informed the MPHEC at a meeting in Summerside, PEI, in early December they were not prepared to fully meet their request for 14 per cent increase in operating assistance for the 1978—79 academic year. ‘

’lhe MPHEC had requested an 11 per cent increase in Operating grants with two 9113 and a half per cent lleCreases for equalization Wlthin the region and with the rest of the comtry.

.Most administrators are ql§appointed with the rallure to meet the MPHEC request but are Waiting to be informed of the exaCt amount of funding the ‘

governments have allotted before speculating m the possibility of fee increases or further cut— backs for next year. ' Father Malcolm Machnnel, president (bf St. Francis ‘ Xavier University and diairperscn of the Atlantic Associatim of Universities

, (AAU) , said the AAU should

be aware of the exact figures by the end of this month when it meets in Halifax.

MadDonnel said the question of fee increases would have to wait until

' 7 the administrators have a

clear idea of what their financial situation will be next year and whether the governments are prepared to make any specific recomendation on the question of tuition fees.

The Nova Scotia

governmait last year agreed

to boost the original grants to the institutions provided tuitim fees were maintained at a six per ~

PLAY WIT

cent increase. Nbst administrators agree that in the face of government failure to meet budget requirements, higher tuition fees is the only source of alternative financing. ' The MPHEC said in its Financial Plan for 1978—79 tuition fees may in future be expected to increase with inflationary increases in institutional operating costs.

Although fee increases

'areseenbytheadmini-

strations as the only » alternative to increase revenues, they are hesitant to hike fees any further. Owen Carrigan, president of St. Mary's

, University, said it would

almost be unjust to raise fees again. He said students are paying the highest fees in the _ country no» and it would not be fair» to increase the gap even more.

Meanwhile, the Atlantic Federation of Stu<hnts is prepared for the worst and

H MPHEC

willing to take serious action to oppose new increases. Secretary- Co—ordinator Tony Kelley, said the AFS executive is waiting to determine the extent of fee increases ant cutbacks, and depending

on the outcome will begin organizing students at campuses throughout the region.
