University Rests
Budget Case
The University has rested its case for more money from
the state legislature.
President Eric A. Walker's testimony before the Senate
Budget Committee Wednesday seems to have been well re
ceived although none of the committee members would com-
mit themselves on the Univer
sity's request for additional
money.
Sen. Jo Hays (D -Centre) said
the general reaction, though, was
very good. He also said that he
hadn't recalled any senator sug
gesting that the way to solve the
University's problems would be
to raise fees. He is not a mem
ber of the committee.
Sen. George B. Stevenson
(fl.-Clinton), chairman of the
budget committee, questioned
the University's proposed ex
pansion plans and said the
plans pose a problen. in ap
praising the University's needs.
He did not think there was any
"fat" in the University's pro
posed budget.
"It's just a matter of how far
we can go," Stevenson told a
newsman Wednesday night. Yes
terday he refused to expand on
these remarks.
Hays said the "time may come
soon" for him to do something
about the University's appropri
ation request. The University re
quested $43 9 million from the
Stale Assembly but Gov. David
L. Lawrence cut" the request to
$34 2 million in his budget mes
sage.
Walker in his testimony said
the University needs $8.3 mil
lion to make adjustments in
faculty and staff salaries and
in auxiliary benefits. He pre
sented charts comparing the
University's salaries with those
being paid by Cornell, Purdue.
Michigan State, Ohio State, ri
linois, Maryland and Wiscon

He also said that it would take
$4.3 million alone for new faculty
and staff members, maintenance
of new buildings and new re
search programs during the next
two years. Walker told the com
mittee that the University plans
to enroll an additional 5600
students during the next bien
nium, noting that during the pres
ent biennium resident enroll
ment increased 3834 .students.
Walker pointed to rising costs
of materials and supplies adding
$1.3 million to the 'University's
maintenance expenses
