"The present budget request for the University of North Carolina for an appropriation of $691,924 for maintenance Is $771,143 less than the appropria tion of $1,463,067 for maintenance asked for in 1929," President Frank P. Graham of the University of North Carolina told alumni assem bled here from all sections of the State for their annual General As sembly. Dr. Graham said that "in 1929 the University asked for mainten ance an amount which was almost a hundred thousand dollars more than double the request now made. The present request Is $202,505 less than the $89,4,429 actually received from the' State in 1928-1929." "The appropriation of $721,000 made by the Legislature tor this year, which waa about a 20 per cent cut Of the previous appropriation, suffered a further cut o# 80 per cent In the allotments of the State Bud get Bureau which carried the Uni versity this year to the destructive level of $564,700. The $<91,984 asked for the coming year is thus almost $30,000 under the legisla tive appropriation tor this year," he said. President Graham, who was the principal speaker, outlined the Uni versity's budget request for the next biennlum. One hundred and fifty representatives of more than 60 local alumni associations and SO class organisation* attended.
