This is explained as the American policy of yenâ€" ess‘ toward the Israelis and the Arabs. It hardly inâ€" sures Israel‘s _ ultimate bers of the WLU board of governors have questioned the province‘s decision aâ€" bout not issuing grants for WLU. Dr. John Redekop told the board that all the other small universities _ received _ a grant from the province to make up for the lack of economies â€" of largeâ€"scale operations. He said WLU should have received a supplementary grant because it is still the latest university to be proâ€" vincially supported. Referring to the univerâ€" sity‘s budget surplus, he questioned whether it was being penalized for frugaâ€" lity. The university has reâ€" lied on portable facilities and worked with poor proâ€" fessional quarters. Other universities to reâ€" ceive extra funds were Brock, Trent and Northern universities like Lakehead. Brock and Trent got grants because they fall into the status of emerging univerâ€" sities. " WLU does not qualify for such money because under the agreement neâ€" gotiated between the proâ€" vince and WLU, it was stated that WLU would not apply for emerging grants. The point was raised,. howâ€" ever. that with the drastic change in the education spending picture, it is posâ€" sible that WLU could qualify for these grants. Trent and Brock also quaâ€" lified for grants because of the large shortfall of enrollâ€" ments at these two schools last year. ~ WLU became a taxâ€"supâ€" ported university in 1973 after the sale of Waterloo Lutheran University to the province by the Lutheran synod. In the report cited by Board member Dr. John Redekop, the reason WLU was not given any suppleâ€" mentary grants was that it did not present a ‘"perâ€" suasive"" case to the miniâ€" stry. Redekop felt that WLU was being "penalized for frugality." because of its budget which showed a surâ€" plus. He made example of the portables the many ofâ€" fices on Bricker St. and the quality of â€" administration offices as some of the poorâ€" est facilities he has ever The board approved the university‘s tentative 1975 76 budget of $14.303.721 Tuesday. The budget inâ€" cluded a $200.000 contingenâ€" cy reserve and a surplus of about $53.000. Board member Jack Harâ€" per said the finance comâ€" mittee should be commendâ€" ed for its work. ~‘The Editor ; Dear Sir: T I want to say a word on behalf of the Waterioo cab drivers.
