NU Budget
Conference
Called Today
An attempt at agreement on the
University's budget will be made
today at a conference of the gov
ernor, members of the board of
regents and the state legislature's
budget committee.
Governor Peterson has been
asked to support a move to restore
GOO thousand dollars to the Uni
versity's 1949-51 operating budget.
The move is supported by several
state senators and by University
officials who hope to win the
governor's backing.
One senator has slated there is
a core of legislators ready to fight
on the floor for boosting the bud
get committee's cut back to the
$7,800,000 recommended by the
governor.
THE UNIVERSITY originally
requested a 10-million dollar bud
get from the State General Fund.
Governor Peterson cut this re
quest to $7,800,000. Another cut
was administered by the budget
committee which recommended
an additional slash of 400 thou
sand dollars.
Any move to reverse the bud
get committee's slash will involve
cuts in the appropriations recom
mended for the State Board of
Control and the state normal
schools.
The Budget committee reduced
the Board of Control General
Fund allotment 695 thousand dol
lars below the Governor's recom
mendation and the normal school's
appropriation by 100 thousand
dollars.
The University, in its budget,
estimated fees and tuition for the
next biennium at $3,400,000, but
the governor raised this amount
to $4,000,000, based upon 1947
revenues.
