"I talked to D House Univers $34.2M By NICKI WOLFORD The University's $34.2 mil lion appropriation passed the State Legislature .) last night after the House approved the amended General Appropria tions Bill. The bill passed the Senate Tues day night and now needs only the governor's signature to be come final. The University appropriation is $9.7 million less than the $43.9 million dollar request made last spring. The request was cut to $4O million by Walker in August. President Eric A. Walker went before the House Appro priations Committee last spring to make a plea for the original request after Gov. David L. Lawenrce's budget listed the low $34.2 million figure. At the time, he told the com mittee the University needed the extra appropriation for additional expansion and increased faculty salaries. The appropriation was passed by the House as a part of a series of appropriations for universities, hospitals, and other institutions totaling $123 million. The General Appropriations Bill was originally passed by the House but rejected by the Senate. The bill was then sent to a House-Senate conference committee to resolve the pro tested issues. The compromise bill was passed by the conference committee last week and was sent back to the legislature for approval. The University's appropriation was not affected by the commit tee's compromises. 2 Candidates Omitted From Collegian Story The names of two candidates for sophomore class assemblymen were inadvertently omitted in The Daily Collegian yesterday.
