Tompkins The portion of Ohio's pro posed two-year budget bill known as the Tuition Freeze Amendment will offer no immediate financial relief to, YSU students. In its original text, the amend ment would have disallowed the $20 per quarter increase : in instructional fees recently ap proved by the YSU Board of Trustees. Initially, the Ohio House approved a plan, that would have frozen instructional fees for all of Ohio's state universities at their April 1, 1979 levels. To compen sate for inflation, the proposed amendment would have set aside $32 million to be shared by all of the state universities when rising costs cut too far into a school's operating expenses. However, according to Don.. Pesich, assistant to;State Senator Harry.Mesxj.el.I^mjngstown, the Senate Finance Committee (which Meshel chairs) found it necessary to modify the Houses's version of the. amendment so that uni- eviation veisities which have been trying to delay tuition increases would not have to make sacrifices detrimental to the t student's education. "Under the House amendment, schools like YSU that have been trying to follow wage and price guidelines would suffer," said Pesich, Pesich went on to explain that if certain schools had been forced to keep instructional fees at April 1 levels, the quality of. instruction might have decreased as the inflationary spiral too*' its toll. < The committee viewed the House's $32 million inflationary cushion as inadequate.' Conse quently, a Finance Committee modification sets a $795 instruc tional fee, ceiling, and permits increases above the figure in ? proportion to annual increases -in. the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Since instructional ifees con stitute about one-third of a university's operating expenses, (Cont. on pg. 2) Festivities now planned for 79 Homecoming by Rosanna CelHtti For some YSU students, summertime means sheer fun and relaxation, for others, it involves a lot of hard work. For those students selected on the 1979 Homecoming Committee, summer is a combination of both fun and work. They are working to "Let The Good Times Roll." "Let The Good Times Roll," is the theme for the 1979 Home- class makes debut in Phy-Ed. dept by RobinJBair YSU remains right on top of things by acquiring the latest addition to its long list of recreat ional classes available in the phy sical education department of Beeghly. Jogging is now offered to students as a possible option for activity The jogging class under the instruction of John Neville, meets the full ten weeks of a regular quarter and is held for one hour/ one credit. Jogging takes place in Wick Park a few days a week and no previous running'exper ience is necessary. The purpose of offering a formal jogging class on the univer sity level is to encourage students to run on their own and to get those that want to start jogging "off on the right foot". Neville ' emphasized the supportive atmosphere generated by running in groups and the importance of instructing students how to run with good form since many amateur joggers have problems such as blisters and other various body signals which indicate wrong form in jogging Evaulation is experimental at this stage as is the class itself, but there is tentatively a two mile minimum distance required at the close of the class. Skill is NOT accounted for in 'terms of time and distance and the evaluation includes a personal journal kept by the individual joggers record ing their thoughts and feelings concerning the class, the running, and various aspects of the subject. The journal enables the instruct ors to acknowledge many of the problems different runners may encounter. The class includes instruction on form, up and down hill running, pacing yourself, when to run harder and when to run easier and various other aspects of jogging. There will be varying kinds of jogging making up the classes, Neville noted, such as sporadic running which entails each jogger predicting a time he/ she will complete a specified distance. According to the length of time predicted each person will begin their run sporadically and depending on the accuracy of their predictions, should all return at the same time. Neville stated that this type of experimental running would enable the students to view first-hand their accom- (Cont. on pg. 2) coming festivities set . October 23-27. ..

President Carter took fifteen minutes of a thirty-minute speech Sunday night to e the American public for their "crisis of confidence." It was appropriate t this chastisement followed several s from individuals offering criticism of Carter's lack of leadership. If e is one overwhelming factor leading to s "crisis of confidence," it is the t that the White House has not provided the leadership necessary to combat the problems of energy and inflation. Carter's presidency hangs in the balance. If he s not summon the confidence of the American voting public through aggressive legislative proposals, he could very well be the first president in American history to be denied re-nomination by his own party, e they will consider him an unnecessary risk, r the 1980 . Carter's energy proposals can hardly be termed sive." To begin with, he put a 1977 ceiling on imported oil. The 1977 oil import was d at 8.5 million barrels a day. Since the beginning of 1979, we e been importing slightly less than this figure and could' ably increase our' imports and still y within the president's guidelines.

For example, if the CPI rose to 8.5 per cent, a university would be permitted to exceed the $795 ceiling by 3 .per cent, or $23.85: -If the CPIrose to 9.5 per cent, a 6 per cent, or $47.70 increase would be permitted over the $795 "yearly instructional fee.

Before YSU would feel the affects of the proposed amendment, they would have to raise instructional fees an additional $35 per quarter.

Neville himself began jogging 15 years ago to curb a weight excess and has since kept it up for the psychological effect it had on him. He resented the competitiveness involved in all of the sports when he was younger and vigorously wrapped himself, up in jogging for the solitary sense of x accomplishment and satisfaction it, brought. When asked- whether or hot he felt jogging was merely a passing fad he responded mat it. was certain ly a phenomenbm here to stay. Neville runs right along with his classes and emphatically stated that besides the physical and psychological benefits of jogging, it was the sheer satisfaction and joy of running itself that addioted ,^-n!
