By JERRY SEIB
SenEx yesterday approved a resolution outlining membership on a proposed Long Range Planning Committee, but not before having some dissatisfaction with the proposal.
The resolution repeats SenEx's original stand that the entire University Council's Planning and Resources Committee should be part of any long range planning group. But, in the same resolution, SenEx said it would propose a proposal that would place six of the 10 Planning and Resources Committee members on the long range planning body.
The resolution will go to Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, who will decide upon committee membership.
Ceiling . . .
From page one
"The only reason I know that a ceiling was instituted," he said, "was to put an overall control on the total Med Center expenditures."
THE COMPROMISE proposal was presented to SenEx by the Planning and Resources Committee. Shankel had earlier proposed that the long range group consist of the Planning and Resources Committee chairman, the vice chancellors for academic and student affairs, the associate University director for business and fiscal resources, and the three representatives of the Council of Deans, one representative of the Council of Directors and University Divisions, the chairman of SenFx., Shankel and three students.
SINEN OBJECTED to that plan after son a member said the entire Planning and Resources Committee should form the core of the plan. But it did not matter to Planning and Resources, which presented its compromise proposal yesterday.
After the Med Center estimates its budgets, it decides how much it will fund the Med Center.
NITCHER SAID the ceiling removal would allow the hospital to spend revenue wi
those without a bill.
The removal of an artificially-fixed expenditure ceiling and isolation those hospital operations that must respond directly to patient load and services would allow the hospital to react more to patient needs, he said.
Pharmaceutical, clinical laboratory and nursing services are affected the most by an expenditure limit, he said, because they are patients with rising numbers of patients and rising costs.
NOT ONLY DOES the cost of pharmaceuticals, equipment and laboratory supplies increase, he said, but more support is required as more patients come to the Med Center.
Tom Greene, associate vice chancellor for business affairs at the Med Center, said that to provide services and materials, such as computers, inventory supplies had to be used.
That will catch up with you at some
point, and you may not have the drugs that
we need. " said That's what we had to
do last year."
A contract is awarded by the state each year for a certain quantity of drubs.
THE COST OF drugs, like all medical
equipment, is even more than general consumption.
A 12 per cent inflationary rate is figured
to the budget, he said, but specific grou-
ses must be avoided.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, he said, reports that from December 1975 to June 1976, consumer prices rose by 4.1 per cent while medical care costs rose 12.6 per cent.
For example, he said, the price of drugs increased by 18 per cent last year. Increases for drugs ranged from two to more than 200 per cent. Penicillin, for example, increased in cost 75 to 100 per cent and codine ingested up to 223 per cent.
THE MED CENTER should know by
the end of this month how is
spending within its existing limits in the
medical field.
"We'll have a hard time, and we probably already know it," he said.
How well the hospital stays within its ceiling limit depends upon how good the estimations of volume and rate increases were, he said.
Removal of the ceiling would affect only the hospital ceiling and not the rest of the Maternity Room.
In a letter to SenEx, the committee said it recommended that two of the students on the Long Range Planning Committee also serve on the Planning and Resources Committee. The letter also said that four faculty members of Planning and Resources, not merely the chairman, should be on the long range group.
Some SenEx members said they weren't sure what the Long Range Planning Committee would do. Frances Horowitz, professor of psychology and a SenEx member, said the committee was an expert in the field and a credited credit committee of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
THE LETTER SAID that Planning and Resources agreed with Shankel that the Long Range Committee should be "a broadly based committee representing a variety of University interests, academic and administrative."
She said a recent accreditation report cided the University for the lack of a

coordinate academic planning and planning for the use of buildings. He said one of the group's first tasks also would be to write a report on building plans describing long range goals and problems.

Forman said that Carter's hand gestures throughout the debate had a neutral effect.
"They seemed superfluous. They didn't support or contradict what he was saying," Faye said.
When energy was being discussed, Forman said that Carter had "an amazing chance."
"He's not squirring, but he's uncomfortable." Forman said.
From page one
NEAR THE END of the debate, the momentum seemed to swing in favor of Carter, he said, especially when Carter responded to Ford's "misquote" of an Associate Press story about Carson's stand on tax reform. By that time, Ford began to form his stance frequently, according to Forman.
