STATE UNIVERSITY MODEST
Only Asks for One Third Of the Total APP
preparations for All Purposes
OMISSIONS IN REPORT OF REGENTS
over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
of Resources Not Mentioned
Legislature Likely to Put
Curb on Regents.
CFrom a staft correspondent.l


LINCOLN, Dec. 1s.-(special THE State
university only asks for S1,154.OSs.21 to run
the institution during the coming two
years. or. in other words, IT asks for only
one-third OF the total appropriation asked
for by all of the state institutions. the
state normal schools and the state gov
eminent combined. The entire state, in
Guiding all its institutions except the uni
versity. asks for appropriations amounting
TO 50, 1000 for the biennium.
In making up its estimate of resources,
filed with the state auditor, the secretary
10 the State Board of Regents, apparently
unwilling to trust to the legislature to APP
propriate enough money to conduct the in
stitution, fails to account for $685. This
amount, about which the report filed with
the auditor is silent is made up Of the
cash fund, the United States Experimental
station fund of S3S,50O and the agriculture
and mechanics art fund of $4,000. The
cash fund, the last biennium, made up OF
matriculaton and other fees as reported
TO the auditor. amounted to $119533.21
making a grand total of S2OS, OSS.21, which
the Board of Regents failed to tell the leg
islature 1t would have at its disposal.
This apparent discrepancy on the part
OF the secretary of the Board Of Regents
has been called to the attention of some
of the state officers and will in all prob
ability result in law being enacted COM
pletely revolutionzing the methods Of the
Board OF Regents and the management OF
the institution.

published today shows that $4,000 will be
realized out of the 1 mill levy. lease on
school lands and permanent investments.
The university asks that this sum be APP
propriated out of the temporary university
fund and $4,000 out of the general fund
for buildings and repairs. The estimates
then, of appropriation asked for is a total
Of $685. 600, according to the report of the
secretary Of the Board of Regents How
ever, he has not called the attention OF
the legislature to the fact that the last
biennium his cash fund totaled $l1s,OSS,
which, with the experimental station fund
and the agriculture and mechanics art
fund, made s2OS.0S3, making the total
amount of money the regents want au-
thority to spend the colossal sum of H,1d-
Os3.
It will also be borne in mind by the leg
islature, according to one member, that
the accounts Of the State university are
not checked by the state auditor, and
neither does he pass upon the vouchers,
but the money is paid out by the regents
on the recommendation of the secretary,
and it is paid out in executive sessions of
the board. All the state auditor does is
to draw the warrant, as demanded by the
secretary of the Board of Regents.
Paying on state Debt,
According to the records in the office of
Auditor Searle Nebraska is not 80 poor
after all, and II the legislature keeps down
the appropriations there is a chance for
the state eventually to get out of debt
During. the last two years the state paid
on it's warrant Indebtedness interest TO the
amount of $1sO228.7 20. OF this interest
$iSS, 100 AZ went into the temporary school
fund, the money merely being transferred
from one fund to another and then eppor-
toned out TO the people in the various
school districts. This left only $2,114 SO
