NEW ERA, ECONOMIST SAYS Zero opulation ~vf~ Growth Forecast v ~' :-lJ \ ByC RLW.RTITER Y ~' Financial Editor. The San Diego Union Univf'rsity of Colorado's profes or of economics, Kennc-th E. Boulding, a former British subjert who,e admiration for Am<'rica and Americans is such that hc- now is a naturalized U.S. citizen, is wont to waggle his head over something he feels the people of this ,·oLmlry have failed to grasp. "They have not caught on that 1t is a new kind of world," Boulding said here before delivering a lec- ture at Fniver.·ity of San Diego. 'lltP kind of world it is now-in the United Stales at least-is one in which the population is beroming stationary .o far as numbers are concerned and wh re a population dedinP 1s quite po~sible in years ahearl, arrording to Boulding. The Umted States, he sugg.,sted, may be at the end of a great growth period dating from the early !800s. "for 150 years our society has selrcted people anrl ideas that arl' growth oriented," Boulding said. "All of a sudden this 1~ coming to an end. .

And to seek money from the people of San Diego, he said, would be more difficult if there is violence, disruption and revolutionary radicalism on campus. Educational offerings that seem to be most needed and most popular will be ex- panded. "For e:tample, the devel- opment of a business educa- tion program with a kind of general education based on moral values is one the com- munity will accept, one the community has indicated it wants. "We offer a limited pro- gram now but we would like to couple an advanced degree program with other th1ngs - like combining business arid law P

After three months in off. lee, the Catholic-oriented Uni• versity of San Diego's first layman president says he wlll continue the ~chool's ban against hard-core student radicalism. However that is not to say U~D will discourage dis- senters from enrolling, says Dr ,Author E. Hughes. "We are the kiind of in• stituhon that we are, and ii the urlents find that ob- jectionable there is an al- ternahve open to them," ex- plained Hughes.

OPERATION FUNDS Contrary to popular belief, the Roman Calholic Church, the diocese itself, does not provide funds for operation of uSD. With the nearly-complete merger of the College for Women and the College for Men has come the separation of USO from the control of the church.
