Lebanese army troops and rebel militiamen, using flares to light up the night sky, exchanged heavy mor-tar and rocket- propelle- d grenade fire along the " green line" that sepa-rates Beirut into its Moslem and Christian halves. About a dozen mortar shells crashed late Saturday into Am Mreise, a seaside neighborhood in Moslem west Beirut close to the U. S. Embassy, which was guarded by Marines, police sources said.

Saddled by budget reductions they do not want, they nevertheless must translate state government funding decisions into program and person-nel cuts at the University. And like Shakespeare's messenger, they en-dure criticisms for a situation that is beyond their control Pour administrators m particular have wielded the financial ax in re-sponse to a 25 percent reduction in the University's buying power in the last three years. About ISO full- tim- e University employees have lost then- job- s, most because of cuts in state funding, others because of cuts in grants. University Chancellor Barbara Uehling and Provost Ronald Bonn sit atop the University's administra-tive structure and findthemselves criticized for any program changes. Norman Moore, vice chancellor of Student Personnel and Auxiliary Services, and Duane Stucky, vice chancellor of Administrative Serv-ices, have been on the front lines wnen reductions are implemented. They also have taken personal blame for orders theybad to issue. . Each of them deals with the pres-sure in different ways, and each agrees mat family tea are impor-tant during times of stress. Uehling has met tie situation bead- o- n and largely set her personal life aade for the duration.

She says she deals with the pres-sure by reconciling herself to it. The chancellor's job, she knew from the onset, would be a pressure cooker. " The pressure is something you know is going to be there when you take a job as an administrator. You cant afford to think a lot about the negabves of the job." Uehling, a mother of two who is married to economics professor Stanley Johnson, says her private life barely exists. " Instead of having a public life and a private life, I have nothing but a public Me," Uehhng says. " Every-thing you do, your associates and the choices you are making in social gatherings are dictated far more by my Job at this University than they are a private choice." Still, she man-ages to find a httle tune to relax with music or by walking. No matter how great the pressure, she observes, the ability to handle it has to come from within, although, she says, " My friendship with my husband is an important support" " It takes strongly independent people, I think, to guide an institu-tion at times like these," she says.

Bunn became provost, the princi-pal academic officer at the Universi-ty, in 1930 after serving as vice presi-dent for academic affairs at the State University of New York at Buf-falo for four years.
