BoucJa Enrolment Decrease Boosts Budget Need Chancellor C. S. Boucher told the appropriations committee of the unicameral Wednesday that although the university has suffered a 31 per cent decrease in enrolment, it will be neces sary to increase its biennial appropriation in order to main tain minimum staffs in its essential departments. "When the university's fee income is reduced, naturally the appropriation from the general fund must be increased," the chancellor explained. "A university operates the most economically when it is filled to capacity." Has No Contracts. In 1941 the appropriation mate $300,000 increase was asked for the coming blennlum. The chancellor went on to say that the school has tio contracts for any single army or navy unit, but that it seemed likely that the university would house.leed and instruct dental, medicaland en gineering units. There is also hope for a pre-flight school but there are more definite plans for the other units. Toward the end of the hearing Senator Don Hanna of Brownlee requested a separate accounting of the city campus and the agri cultural campus budgets if the two divisions are to be segregated. Chancellor Boucher said that he was not in favor of such a plan, because it brought duplication in maintenance overhead and in struction. Senator Hanna, how ever, maintained his request for -separate budgets. Prospects for a higher enrol (See FUNDS, Page 5.)

Students Must Plan Post-War World-Kearns "You men on the university campus are making history, just as you will on the battlefields later, by what you do personally now." Speaking at the general TMCA meeting at the Union Wednesday night, Rev. Ray Kearns, Presby terian pastor, made this state ment to the assembled group of association members and univer sity men. Mr. Kearns added that the re sponsibility of students as in dividuals in the post-war world was founded on what Is accom plished by them at the present time. "We can do several things in planning for a successful commu nity," he said. "We must build good society. This will demand good individuals. Is It a Bird? Is It a Plane?
