...Kaufmann '62, associate dean of the Faculty for finance and administration, who oversees budget-making every year. There's more guesswork in the preparation of the Faculty budget than you might expect if you judged from the neat tables and rows of figures that emerge at year's end...
...want to hear, but the rough figures bear it out. If the Faculty leaves the campaign with $150 million earned, and makes five per cent interest on that money, it will earn about $7.5 million annually from the new money. But five years from now, by the campaign's end, the Faculty budget will most likely have reached a whopping $100 million. If inflation remains 13 per cent, the extra $7.5 million will have cushioned the Faculty surprisingly little. In fact, the years of administrative planning and fund-raising work will have equalled only about seven months worth of inflation...
Kaufmann says the savings that have balanced the budget occurred in "marginal" areas, and potential savings were always weighed against the inconveniences to students and professors. A plan to end hot breakfasts in all but a few Houses last year, for example, created such an uproar it was withdrawn. "I don't think students are as interested in the marginal $20 or $50 savings on an $8000 bill as they are in the quality of life," Kaufmann says. So officials have so far avoided introducing money-saving measures like requiring pre-registration for courses or abolishing second servings at meals...
STRAIGHTFORWARD enactments of Wagner's text complement the implicit parody of the hand-puppets and dummies. For the entry into Valhalla over the rainbow bridge in Rheingold, the bridge is projected through a transparency onto the rear wall of the stage; Brunnhilde's enchantment at the end of Walkure occurs atop a ladder, wrapped in a crimson cape and defended by a cordon of flashing lights; for the funeral march in Gotterdammerung, Siegfried's body is set in a huge wooden cart that Brunnhilde, haloed by a spotlight, pulls along. Sellars manages these scenes better than many directors with...
...end of the evening, you are--as Sellars quotes Anna Russell (crediting her here, though he fails to elsewhere)--"right back where you started," only it's taken four hours instead of 15 for the gods to pass on, the world to burn up, and the ring to return to its rightful owners. You aren't any wiser than when you started, and you certainly haven't experienced the catharsis Wagner assumed he would induce...
