Its program is to: 1) cling to the tattered wage-price guidelines*; 2) hold the fiscal 1980 budget deficit to $29 billion, down from $32 billion in 1979; and 3) encourage the Federal Reserve Board to continue to keep a firm rein on the money supply.

Asked a faculty critic: "Are we following an industrial model or an academic model?" Such doubts were aggravated by the fact that Hubbard presented the planned center to the faculty senate as a fait accompli, leaving no room for debate. Then, too, there was Fluor's ambiguous role. Said he: "People can say I have selfish interests, and obviously I have some. But I believe any time information is available, better...
