this week by Elwood Hurst, a

years of unexpected low blows.
Yet Gov. Dick Riley and state
budget officials seemed, like Vaughn,
almost philosophical as they received
the grim news from their economic
advisors Friday.
They even wasted considerable
time coolly debating whether, after
cutting the budget, they had the legal
right to restore funds later in the year
if tax revenues turn out better than
expected.
Thev should be so luckv to have that
problem. It appears they're getting
used to coping with fiscal calamities.
Back in September of 1980, word
that tax receipts would fall short of
expectations by a mere $49.5 million
triggered a painful round of employee
layoffs as agencies cut personnel
spending by 7 percent.
Then in November of 1981, a similar
$40 million warning drew a 2.19
percent across-the-board cutback
order to agency chiefs, many of whom
grumbled that they were already cut
back as far as they could go.
The $40 million shortfall projection
swelled to $60 million by April and
$100 million by the end of the fiscal

Hurst says he found two more books

subsequent check.
Several councilmen said this week
that while they don't like to be censors,
they realize their beliefs may be
different from those of their constituents.
"There have to be different criteria
with children's books than with
adult's books,"Councilman Gene
Cunningham says. "We really have to
be careful with kids because they're
so impresssionable.

year in June.
Despite the cutbacks, and the hiring
freezes and other economic moves
which followed them, the state had to
dip into savings for more than $50
million to avoid a deficit in fiscal 198182.
In the meantime, the legislature
had made plans to spend $2.1 billion
frnm .Tnlv 1 1QR2. to June 30. 19R3 hut
the word in late June was that this
was $52 million more than the state
would take in.
Gov. Dick Riley vetoed state employee
cost-of-living pay raises immediately.
He tried to veto merit
increases as well, but the legislature
overrode that veto and the Budget and
Control Board had to order agencies
to cut spending plans by a third of a
percent to make up the difference.
Now more cuts, up to 4.8 percent for
some agencies, are certain to be
ordered Tuesday, when the board
meets again to decide what to do
about the cuts. It has to do something,

But, he says, "While I have my
beliefs, I don't necessarily want to
impose my beliefs on someone else."
Fair says children should be encouraged
to read books about sexual
relationships, whether they involve
homosexual or heterosexual liaisons.
However, he savs such material
should only be read in a structured
atmosphere where adults can give
advice.
Sexuality, he says, is not "a subject
a 12-year old can comprehend and
deal with by himself. Having access
freely is asking for trouble."
