Regents approve roof, fee increase 110% fee increase clarified, Hedges addition approved By SHEILA BEARDSLEY

T he Board of Regents. which is the governing body of the Montana University System. passed all proposals submitted from the institutions within the system during a meeting in Helena last Friday. T he acceptance of these proposals clears the way

1 for construction projects and budget planning at MSU. The seven-member board sets policy for the six universities in the

Montana University System. Representatives from each university were present at the meeting.

A resolution was passed that authored the Commissioner of Higher Education to sell up to $9. 1 million in bonds o n behalf of the universi-

lties in the Montana system. for the future acquisition of computer 1hardware, software, and other equipment for their campuses. The stated S9. I million figure is a rough estimate based on the amount of

1money needed to purchase the equipment and on the ability of the universities to repay the borrowed money.

If the proposal of fina ncing is compatible with the project plans, MSU, U of M and Eastern Montana College will move together to

'purchase a mainframe computer system whk h will serve all campuses in the Montana University System. MSU President Bill Tietz said the proposed system of campus computer interrelationships would facili-tate the computer needs of the smaller campuses and provide a supply of equipment. some of which is difficult to attain, for each campus.

The propo:sal of reconstructing the roof of the Health and Physical Education pool was announced as an emergency is~ue and it was stated that the roof would not make it through another winter. Bud K.umlien. assistant director of the Physical Plant, said he was not surprised that the item was passed.

··\Ve really don't have a choice." he said. "we can'tjust let the roof cave in."

The upper part of the double roof is not insulated and the cold air create_

The $1,000 threshold Will M SU go Ivy League?

In ac•. \iSL has crossed the $1,000 threshold. an event similar to a person's fm.""t1eth b1rthda} When would be students ask about the cost of attending MSU

I Overall It costs the average student 10 percent more to attend a Montana

co llege in 1985-86 than it did in 1984-85. And you thought double-digit inflation had d ied with the Carter Administration.

O ut-of-S ta te students will be hit by the fee increase storif too. Las t year out-of-s tate students paid a hefty $2,576 in fees and tuition to attend MSU . This

yea r they will have to spend $300 more for their tuition and fees.

T he sad pa n is that enrollment is declining without the increase in fees. Last year. fo r the first time in several years, MSU's fall enrollment did not show an

increase over the previous year's fall enrollment . Fewer students are graduating

from high school (the Baby Boom generation is already in college) and if it weren't

for the increasing number of older students. the decline would be even more

Irving's 'Rules' is life with guts by JOHN AKRE

CIDERHOUSE RULES by John Irving New York. William Morrow 1985, 560 pages

It is rumored that some writers write from a for-mula, using the same plot structures and just changing the characters

and details from work to work. John Irving seems to do about the opposite. The "what" of his books changes from one to another while the types of charac-ters and details stay pretty much the same.

That's not really a criticism. that's more an observation. Ciderhouse Rules, Irving's latest , is another of his intelli-gent and illuminating fictional life sto-ries, with guts.

Guts in more ways than one. This book doesn't have the explicit violence that Garp did but it does approach the queasy from time to time. The other type of guts it has is a son of narrative strength and integrity, the kind of thing

JOHN Il~G ~IDER· HOUS

the cathedral-like novels of Dickens have.

Homer Wells grows up in an orphan-age in the middle of nowhere in Maine. Because his foster homes never work out he does all his growing up in the orphanage and becomes the faithful student of Dr. Wilbur Larch, ihe orphanage's eccentric ether·addict chief

and an abortionist. The orphanage will hold a strong

power over Homer for the rest of his life, even after he leaves it to live at an apple

orchard. There he becomes the third point in a triangle that also involves Wally Worthington. heir to the orchard. and Candy Kennebec, who was fated to marry Wally for as long as anyone can remember.

Ciderhouse Rules is Homer Wells's life story and, even though there's many elements in it similar to elements in Irv-ing's other works. there are also a few departures. Nothing happens in Vienna in this book and neither are there any bears. real ones or ones with people inside.

Irving writes long books that are writ-ten like shon ones. They are full of ideas and characters and developing situa-tions, but everything is sketched out very quickly and tersely. He's a minimal-ist, giving the reader the raw material to build his / her own novels in his / her own mind.

Ciderhouse Rules is a dream about a whole life, a book so easy to read it almost reads itself. a book that's funny, full of information about gynecology and orchards, and possible very thought provoking. h's simply another impor-tant book by the guy who gave us Th• World According to Gorp and The Hotel New Hampshire.
