It is further proposed that all unex pended balances of any state in stitution or department shall, at the end of the biennium, revert back into the general fund. Mr. Devoe explained the univer sity's objection to such legislation. He pointed out that the universi ty's monies arise from four types of funds: appropriations from the tax funds, money received from federal government grants, the cash fund which is composed of tuition and other fees, and the trust fund or bequests. Grants earmarked. Each government grant is ear marked and must be used for a specified purpose. L. B. 311 im plies that even these government funds would go into the general state fund to be used for whatever purpose the legislature saw fit. The regent explained that such action was impossible since the government grants were made with the provision that the uni versity put them to a designated use. Mr. Devoe went on to show that the same thing applies to the uni versity cash and trust funds. Cash funds arise from tuition, lab and matriculation fees and are strictly university funds, not the appro priated funds of the state tax pay ers and should thehefore be used as the university authorities see fit. Donor funds. "We have received about $800 000 from a donor, Mr. Love," de clared Mr. Devoe. "He requested that the funds be used for the con struction of certain buildings on the campus and the state cannot take that money and put it in their general fund."
