I liecause of this, the university is being I

cule on its own campus and in the j
columns of the nation's press. This
situation is commanding no little at

After a -io-minutc consideration l*
one of llic h'jisi controversial budget'
proposals in yours, the Student Affairs
; hoard, in special session Wednesday
1 afternoon, approved :i recommended
allotment of S.V/Jti to tlio lt> member
| organizations requesting funds for
11*4011. A total of was asked
jby those organizations t finance their
planned activities in the coming year.

tabulated comparison between the

11140-41 budget will he found on
page i.
The approved budget was submit -
lod by Teddy .Mills, acting president
of the Student. A (Tail's hoard, to Pres
ident Clyde A. Milner, who endorsed
iho proposed expenditures that same

sented to the entire student bady in u
special chapel period soon after Feb
ruary IK At this time the students

the measure publicly and to vote for
j acceptance or rejection by secret bal
: lot.
The total recommended for
j UMO-41 exceeds the amount granted
! last year by .Still, and the increase in
i funds is shared by nine of the 1(> or
I sanitations requesting money. The

I they had in the past.

of the budget was given by the budget
committee of the hoard in terms of in
creased enrollment for the current
year. The committee estimated that
$.",025 could be raised through the col
lection of sls activity fees from .'"tfi

culated to raise the total amount avail
