The recommendation must be passed a second time by a two thirds vote to be submitted to the board of Trustees. Emerson Jones, All-College secretary-treasurer, recommended the reduction as a part of his pro posed budget for next year. Dance Income Unused Jones said that in the past in come from class dances, amount ing to approximately $2600 an nually, had not been used in making up the budget. He said that at present the interclass fund contained an accumulated balance of nearly $17,000 from dance receipts over a period of years. Jones also pointed out that up to last year 25 cents of the per semester class assessment was designated for the Blue band, but that last year an additional 25-cent assessment was levied upon all students for the Blue band. He said the class assess ment was never reduced to bring it in line. The motion, if approved by cabinet at its next me e tin g, would only be a recommenda tion to the board of Trustees. $2OOO Reduction The budget submitted by Jones and adopted by cabinet reduces by $2OOO the appropriation to cabinet for next year. Jones said the reduction appeared plausible because the pr ese n t cabinet would use only about $2500 of the $5OOO appropriation. The budget also calls for a cut in scholarships to freshman, sophomore, and junior class presidents. The presidents of the freshman and sophomore classes will each receive $5O and the junior class president $75. In the past all class presidents received scholarships of $lOO. Scholarships Dropped The $5O scholarship for class secretary-treasurers ha s been dropped in the new budget. Tribunal chairman will be giv en a scholarship raise, from $5O to $75. The budget for next year: Estimated revenue from student fees $ 8500 (continued on page eight) Keller, '5O Graduate, Wounded In Korea Second lieutenant Robert S.
