AVERTING A BIG DEFICIT

SALARIES AND ASSISTANTS
WILL BE AFFECTED.

The committee on ways and means re-
Gently appointed by the Regents of the
State University to devise some plan to
avert a threatened deficit, met yesterday
and agreed on a system of retrenchment
that will be equal to the occasion.
Under present expenses and q much
shortened income, the Regents have fig
ured they will be behind just $4S,0O0 when
the next fiscal year shall have passed.
There was no plain way out of the diff
Guilty that the Regents could find, so it
was decided to place the matter in the
hands of the finance committee and a
special committee of three, and let those
six find a remedy. The finance commit
tee is composed of Regents Hallidie, Rod
gers and Miller: the special committee of
Regents Denicke, Slack and Rowell. Mr..
Rodgers and Mr.. Miller were away and
the other four met at Colonel Denicke's
residence yesterday afternoon.
Since the appointment of the commit
tee the heads of the various departments
of the university have been communicated
with; the condition of the institution has
been explained to them and the necessity
for retrenchment has been pointed out,
and they were all asked to submit to the
committee some idea of the amount they
could save and the way they could save
it. The reports submitted were the sub
jects of discussion at yesterdays confer
ence.
The report of the committee will not be
made public until the meeting of the Re
gents on June Is. There are good many
details that will have 10 be considered
and discussed, but the general plan is one
of such retrenchment as will keep the uni
versity running on what money 1t has
while not seriously interfering with the
efficiency of the institution. The plan of
retrenchment will necessarily reduce the
staff to some extent and also some of the
salaries, but there will be no radical
changes. 1t was reported at one time that
the deficit would be avoided by the exac-
ton of fee from each of the students,
and there was a good deal of adverse
comment on the proposed Inauguration of
such policy; and there was another re-
port to the effect that money would be
raised by subscription, and that, too, was
condemned. 1t is probable that the COM
making any departure so radical as the
scheme of fees.
The idea of allowing the presidency to
remain vacant until at least year had
passed and so save a clear ten thousand
was also brought to the attention of the
committee. 1t nlRt little favor, however.
The committee was of the opinion that
the university could not be properly con-
Quoted without an executive head. That
the plan has been abandoned is proved
by the fact that a President will very
June Is. The Regents are all ready to
vote on the candidates, and there Is a
general desire to have the place filled and
the matter settled. The identity of the
successful candidate, however, is still a
matter of speculation.

for the ceremony.
The exercises were held in the convent

rendition of Speed Our Republic. by the

school, and the national hymn rendered
by two young lady pupils on pianos. Miss
NJ. Benker delivered a thrilling recitation,
brim full of patriotic inspiration, with
dramatic effect and was warmly applaud

entertained the assemblage with med

was again called upon and gave a pretty
rendition of Hawaiian airs and the indoor
programme was concluded with the sing

when Cue last formalities in the res
