In order to f ainiliarke oar visitors and oar student body with the Honors Program, Dr Paul Steeres has explained some of the aspects af it lUthough hanor students must haw accumulated 128 hoars to graduate the studeats fa tbe Honors Program are net required to fulfill ail of the aiiversittescSistribotionai requirements. Hoa-ever, they de take special toternJiMplinary courses. The key word here is "inter4?sipltoary.*'The Haners Prog iramts set up in such a way as to include all the different disipbnes of a certain field. For example, an hanor student taking the Natural Science Seminar will receive input from professors in Biology, fheaistry. Physics, and the other natural science disciplines The students study act only the pragmatics of a certain dislplhie. hut also tbearies and pWlosophies surraundhi| if.

Thin represents an SCO thousand increase over this year's budget, Mr Edmundson explained thai the increase will be seen tn several areas, the largest of which ii the fcducuttenal and General Fond'" ■ EGF:. This is one of the three -sections'' af the budget. The ether two sections are the AiMiiary i food services aad residorsce hails - and Financial Aid areas. Several areas compose the EGF. Of these, all deal solely with the direct educational and atfrmnistrativestde af thehudget, Included in this are; salaries far faculty, staff, and asttmintstrative persannel maintenance on classroom and a-tninistrative bailtitngs. and other exposes involved directly with academics. Of the mm thousand increase. p» fhoasaad will go to the EGF, as well as W.J12 miihoa also allocated in the budget. A breakdown of the SIO thousand figure shews "(94 thousand going to utility costs alone.

A possibly eontrnveristai 119 thoaaand increase in the intercollegiate athletic budget was necessitated largely hecause ef the tougher men's haaketball schedule, Included in these costs are added travelling expenses and necessary increases hecause of" higher caliber" refereeing which will have to be ftewn tn. in defense of this increase, it should be noted that gate receipts arom next year's home slate are expected to mere than cswer the increase io this area af the budget. A reflection of the grawing *-business'* of intercollegiate athletics at Stetson may* be seen in plans to ne« year treat tbe fnterrellegiate athletic budget as a new. fourth sectton of the overall University* hudget These six constituent parts total SSSS thousand of the EGF's »i thousand increase. Approxtraatoly tlM thousand is allocated te increases in saiartes, above and beyond the t45 thousand in mandatory wage hikes. Few, if any. of the Onftersfty's emv ployees have a yearly wage increase agreement fn their contracts. Thus this fJW thousand sum represents aa attempt by the University to aid employees in tie 'fight against inflation.*' Among the firshtmie items on the budget are a 143 5 thousand mereaae in the library had . raising its budget from »thousand to*lfi.3 theusawli.
