The regents of the state university
and the Trustees of the State Agricul-
tural College at Ames are facing the
problem of their lives: that of stretch
ing the appropriations made by the
legislature SO that there will be enough
to do what has to be done. The trus-
tees of the agricultural college are In
a peculiar position. The legislature
authorized and approved the plans of
$60000 annex to the agricultural hall
to be built out of the millage tax. But
the legislature failed to appropriate a
little item of $4,000 for heating and
the building, which was in
tended to go with the approval of the
plans. Now the trustees are confronted
with the proposition of putting up a
100000 building with no means to light
and heat it for two years Or else find
ing the $4,000 somewhere else, no one
knows where 1t was thought to re-
arrange the plans for the annex and
cut down enough to provide the extra
$4,000, but the legislature approved the
$4,000 plans and it may be this cam
not be changed.
At Iowa City the regents of the uni
versity are $4,000 short of enough to
provide the annual budget. The legis-
lature did not giveethem all they asked
but new students continue to come in
which means more teachers and profess
sors and they are trying hard to find
the $4,000 addition to do the work.
