The College included piovision for this movabli equipment when it submitted its expenditure esti mates to the new adminiattattdri At first the Col lege asked foi $1,,490,791 14, an amount that would mini& for an inciease in faculty, provide ade quate movable equipment foi the new buildings, provide foi incieased heat, light, and Janitorial services needed for the new buildings, and in gen ei al enable this institution to receive a greatly increased enrollment dining the next two years, Then, when a 'slash was predicted, the College I eviscd and trimmed its estimated expenditme% and asl.ed fun $11,693,445 _ Still, to the authorities in flamisburg, buts was too much So they recommended that we receive $4,375,000. Yes, that.„ls an increase over the last ,two years, and will somewhat aid this institution in Its expansion. Yea, It's a help, BUT— It Isn't enough'. .
