Senate committee frrdecide MU budget this week This week, eleven senators who make up the unicameral appropri ations committee, will hold in their hands the fate of the university for the next two years. Faced with three alternate budget suggestions presented by the board of regents and Chancellor C. S. Boucher, it is their problem to decide and rec ommend to the legislature, the uni versity budget allotment for the 1939-41 blennium. Atk $4,085,603. The university had originally petitioned the governor for $4,085, 603, but impressions gained from the committee hearing on the budget, Tuesday, indicate that the school will be fortunate It their al lotment is as high as the 1937-39 appropriation of $3,740,940. According to Acting Chairman John Callan of the appropriations committee, the state just doesn't have enough money to go around. Chancellor Boucher, on behalf of the board of regents, submit ted three plans to the committee which could be adopted by the university in accordance with the budget appropriation that they re ceive. 3 plana presented. . Slashing the budget below the 1937-39 allotrr?' would probably mean the & " on of a plan em bodying the rawing changes: "With e ' nent limited to the number of v Jents for which re sources arew liable to maintain creditable a . defensible stand ards, a nuuairV'm limit (for exam ple, 5,000 students) could be main tained administratively. 1. By retaining the present ad mission policy but raising stand ards for retention of good stand ing by students and thus increase dismissals materally in the first and second years. The probable result of such a measure would be a larger num ber of students than at present could rightly object that they were programs not appropriate for their abilities and needs. 2. By increasing fees. Such a setup would increase the revenue per student, but would re duce the total enrollment some what on the economic status; not a few excellent students who are barely able to remain in college because of lack of funds would be unable to do so if fees were raised. Such a policy of economic selec tivity is not defensible education See BUDGET page 4. I permitted to attempt to pursue - i The Official Newspaper of More Than 6,000 Students VOL. XXXVIII, NO. 110.
