Although most people con-
cerned with the program
seem to be pleased with its
basic Innovations. the real
concern is how the program
can be financed. both now
and in the future.
"The college simply can-
not afford to do everything
it wol.Lld like to." said college
Business Manager Robert A.
Currie. "and what we must
determine now is whether or
