Chancellor Working on Budget to Put Before Board Plans for the financial needs of the institutions of of the state system of higher education for the next biennium are being formulated this week in the office of the chancellor, preparatory for submission June 14 at the meeting of the state board, according to information received yesterday from Charles D. Byrne, secretary to the board, and assistant to the chancellor. The biennial budgets for higher education must be submitted to the governor by October 1 for compilation into the general budget for the legislature’s meeting, which is early in January, Preliminary figures were submitted by Chancellor Hunter to the legislature interim commission on state and local revenues some time ago. At that time, the chancellor indicated that supplementary funds, totaling $595,000 would be required to operate the state institu tions with reasonable efficiency, Byrne said. Chancellor Lists Three Special Uses Three special uses for the funds were cited by the chancellor in submitting his request to the interim com mittee. 1. Appropriations for the present biennium provided funds to restore salaries for only 18 months of the cur rent biennium, and, as a result, restoration for staff members of higher educational institutions was deferred to July 1, 1937, while salaries for other state divisions were restored on March 1, 1937. To provide restoration for the full 24 months of the next biennium will require an additional sum of $195,000. 2. For the replacement of obsolete instruction equip ment and for repairs to buildings which have been de ferred for a period of seven years, since 1930, a sum of $200,000 for the binennium is required. 3. To care for increased enrollment, which has mount ed almost 60 per cent since the year 1933, a supplemental appropriation of $200,000 is necessary. Greater Enrollment Is Problem Enrollment in the state institutions is now higher than at any time in their history, according to the chancellor, with a ten per cent gain over the year 1929-30, which -was the previous peak. State appropria tions, however, have decreased 15 per cent since that time. The teaching force at the present time is aboul equal to the staff employed when there were 8,000 stu dents on the several campuses, in contrast to the present approximation of 10,000. The major proportion of the funds go into instruc tional costs (primarily salaries) with a maximum of direct benefits to the students. A distribution of expen ditures for the University alone shows expenditures for instruction, including libraries, to be approximately 70 per cent of the total budget for the institution. Unified Adniinistratoin Economical Comparisons with years prior to unified administra tion indicate that the administrative cost, including tho expenses of the presidents’ offices and the chancellor’ll and board’s office and service divisions, have been re duced approximately $70,000 per year, or 25 per cent. In meeting the financial situation for operating ti>a institutions during the next biennium the chancellor hani repeatedly indicated that it would be unwise to attempt to raise part of the needed funds by increasing student fees. Studies show that 70 per cent of the students in the state system are wholly or partially self-supporting* and about 15 per cent of the entire student body received, loans from institutional loan funds. Distribution of Funds Shown Figures compiled by Budget Officer R. L. Collins shew the following distribution of state funds by func tions: instruction, including libraries, 58.9 per cent; ser-* vice division, 4; administration, 2.7; physical plant, 13.2 dormitory bonds (University), .6; general research, 2;| agricultural research, 8.6; federal cooperative extension, 6.G; and general extension, 3.4.
