Let Our University Grow

Most Minnesotans happy that the 1853 state egSla'
ture economy minded but doubt that the majority Of them
want budget requests Of the University OF Minnesota
to that its varied services to education and the state
will be impaired.
No person who been exposed TO the fine work In
fields which university has been doing through these
many years any Of the essential projects and
grams curtad Our University Of states proudest
possessions and there indication that II wastes the tax
payers money
70 bs hoped that the current controversy over the
election Of Regents win not defect the public mind from
the need keep the University budget at level with
which continue 70 improve both its facilities faculty
and all Of those 0omponens necessary 10 keep Of the
leading state universities Of the nation.
In addition TO granting the reasonable budget requests
such requests should be the tool by which politicians
allowed encroRch upon the administration of the school
Many good state university has had Its ruined and
demoraEed by political manipulation.
There have been signs that certain Legislators would like TO
force their political beliefs and dkes upon the school This
would be tragic aud In contrayenOn Of the traditions which
have made university the institution of higher
learning that II s today.
We believe the people Of the state who have such vital in
tero the growth and development Of the University that
II the educational needs Of youth and the de-
mand for research from which all will profit want gisla
tive restrictions which will hamper the school II h important
therefore, that citizens who believe In tho University that
