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.

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.
