$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.

Social Pro Asked
For 2 Fraternities
Phi Kappa Sigma and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternities have been recommended for social
probation by the Interfraternity Council Board of Control.
Robert Parsky, board chairman, said both fraternities were found guilty of IFC rules
infractions. The recommendations will be heard by the Senate Committee on Group
Discipline sometime this week.
Phi Kappa Sigma was charged
with violating an import housing
rule which requires all women
guests in fraternities to be in
their quarters by 1 a.m. on week
ends. An import was found by
the IFC checkers to be on the
first floor at 1:30 a.m. on the
weekend of Nov. 7.
The Board recommended that
the fraternity be placed on social
probation until Feb. 1, 1960.
Sigma Tau Gan. m a was

duty on the weekend of Nov.

Explaining the term 'social

tion means that a fraternity is
under increased surveillance and
the imposition of stricter penal
