SHOULD CALL
A HALT
THE UNIVERSITY ASKS TOO
MUCH
Other Institutions With Cryin0
Needs

Nothing in the way Of State finance
or appropriations seems to satisfy the |
management of the State University. |
A bill was introduced some time ago |
in the Assembly to build a metallur- |
gical building 1t was beaten once
and taken up for reconsideration In
| order to defeat argument on the vir-
tue of the measure the previous ques-
| ton was called for and the bill passed.
| This has naturally occasioned com
ment. and not very favorable to say
the least.
The State University seems to come
in for the giant share There has
never been a session of the Legisla-
ture for the past fifteen years, but
that ? call for funds has not been
made. and generally landed. There
should be a halt called, and the nro-
per time is the present. The Tniver-
sity is a State necessity and deserves
a proper appropriation. but other
State affairs should also be con s:tler-
ed.
II the first place there has been an
unusual amount Of money called for
in all directions Most Of the calls
are Just, and under the circumstances
= it was supposed that the University
would ask for its just proportions but
nc more.
