Legislative failure
May Kill Expansion
The University may be forced to operate on the old bien
nium budget if the State legislature fails to pass a new ap
propriation bill before July 1.
President Eric A. Walker said last night that failure on
the part of the legislature to pass a bill by July 1 would mean
the University would have to be
gin the new biennium under the,
old appropriation of $29.7 million.)
He said that whether the State
approves' a greater appropriation)
than was requested by Gov. Da
vid L. Lawrence ($34 million)
might affect the number of stu
dent& admitted this fall.
So far, 3679 students have
been accepted for the fall semes
ter ,according to Robert G.
Bernreuter, dean of admissions.
Bernreuter said .that with the
usual number of refusals this
would bring the total down to
3200.
The Uniiiersity accepted 3200
new students last year.
Walker said if the -appropria
tioi is $34 niillipo t 3204 students,

if the legislature appropriated
more than this the University
would consider admitting more
students.
Walker said that if no appro
priation is voted on before July 1,
something else would have to be
dropped from the University's
plans. He said he didn't have any
idea what this would'be.
Previously Walker had said
that without the requested $44
million, the University would
have to halt expansion plans
and reduce the proposed $1 mil

Elections
Stanley Foster replaced Vincent Karino as chairman of
the Student Government Association Assembly Elections
Committee last night.
Cabinet had appointed Mai
failed to pass this recommenda
on the issue.
Lynn Ward. former chairman
of the committee, defended Foster
as her choice by citing his two
Oars experience on the commit
tee. She also told Assembly that
he had the respect of the group.
Alton Kendall, former presi
dent of the Engineering-Archi
tecture Student Council, de
, fended . Marino. He cited his
friendship with both Foster and
Marino but said that Foster
lacks the qualities for the post.
A motion to end debate was,
proposed by Howard Byers, As
sembly minority leader, but wasi
defeated. Assembly also defeated
a proposal by Jack Crosby (C.-Jr.),
which called for Assembly to
move into an executive sessionl
so that the two men's qualifica
tions could be discussed freely.
This was ruled out by Assembly',
President Larry Byers since the
SGA Constitution states that all
Assembly meetings are open to
the public.
Theodore Haller (C.-Sr.) urged
that Cabinet give its reasons for
favoring Marino over Foster. SGA
President Leonard Julius made no
reply.
Miss Ward then said that it
was Assembly's duty to choose
an elections committee chair
man this meeting so he could
be present at the Student En
campment next September.
She attacked the choosing of
Marino, pointing out that he sat
on All-University Cabinet for a
year, without having the needed
qualifications.
Miss Ward concluded her state
ments by asking: "Are we the peo
ple who are going to judge? May
be Lion's Paw is." Both Marino
and SGA President Julius are
members of the senior men's hon
orary.
Byers once again moved that
debate on the issue be ended.
This time it was carried.
Assembly President Byers call
ed for a vote on Marino's appoint
ment. A 20 to 1 decision rejected
Marino as elections committee
chairman. Jay Hawley (C.-Sr.)
voted in fay ar of the appointment.
Byers then called on Julius to
name another person to fill the
post. He named Foster, who was
approved by the Assembly.
