Graham told alumni assembled here last night from all sections of the state for their annual general assembly. Dr. Graham said that "in 1929 the University asked for maintenance an amount which was almost a hundred thousand dollars more than double the re quest now made. This present request is $202,505 less than the $894,429 actually received from the state in 1928-1929. "The appropriation of $721,- 000 made by the legislature for this year, which was about a 20 per cent cut of the previous ap propriation, suffered a further cut of 30 per cent in the allot ments of the State Budget Bur eau which carried the University this year to the destructive level of $504,700. The $691,924 ask ed for the coming year is thus almost $30,000 under the legis lative appropriation for this year." Graham Outlines Budget President Graham, who was the principal speaker, outlined the University's budget request for the next biennium.
