I Mistrial in Hbes c NICKERSON NAMED TARGET OF PURGE Additional Sum Asked As Annual Continuing Mill age Found Inadequate o Operating Six Schools PORTLAND, Sept. 13. ) Final approval of biennial budget for the state systems of higher education for submission to the governor and eg Islature was given by the state board today. In approving the recommendations of Its flnanco committee, the board decided the annual continuing mill age Income of $2,294,977 for the next two years will fall short by 1332,177 a year of operating the six lnstltti tlona on essentially the present level. The board Is therefore making request for $064,354 In addition to the mtllogc Income for the next bl ennium, a sum which will still leave the state Appropriations for the sys tem 4 per cent lower than the ap propriations for the blenntum 1929 1930 when the single board assumed control, although enrollment has In creaacd 6.73 per cent since that time. Pupil Increase Cited In pointing out the necessity for the supplementary request the board called attention to "unprecedented Increase in enrollment during the past five years amounting to 40.12 per cent for the several Institutions," and then itemized the proposed usn of the supplementary funds as follows: I. To care for Increased enrollment 200,000 for the blennlum. 2. To make possible continuation of salary restoration for staff mem bora ordered by the legislature, $199, 000 for the blennlum. 3. To replace obsolete Instructional tqulpment and for building repairs deferred for a period of seven years because of limited funds, $200,000 fnr the blenntum. 4. To replace funda discontinued by the federal government for cooper ative extension work In agricultural and home economics and to permit continuation of present work, $69. 830 for the blennlum. Faculty Lnad Heavy Tho board declared that the only expansion represented in this supple mentary request la the $100,000 per year required to care for Increased enrollment. At the two major Insti tutions the enrollment has almost doubled since 1933-34, the Increase at the state college being 108 per cent and at the university 47 per cent. Faculty teaching loads already far beyond recognized national standards was another factor cited as making essential the supplementary funds Total teaching staff far the current year was reported as almost 100 be low that of 1929-30 when enrollment wa 810 less.
