The maintenance appropriation

Poi the 1939-41 biennium, James
ha', recommended $4,425,000—an
Increase of only $150,000
As was shown in the pidvious

hardly enough to cover light, heat,

The Rest of the Story
The College made this cleat in

it asked $514,580 foi "additional

Moreover, physical plant opei
