In spite of the fact that their

should realize that higher educa-

clareS
Even with the increased help

only 80 per cent of its general in

is in contrast to about so per cent
for the average state university.
and considerably below the tax
support given such public higher
educational institutions as urban
universities, liberal arts colleges,
teachers colleges, and junior col
leges, which ranges from 65 to rs
per cent.
I'm recent years, higher educa
portionateIy less rather than more
of the states budget. In 1854
higher education received over IL
per cent of Delaware's operating
funds, while last year just over z
per cent was SO allocated. The av-
erage state directed 10 per cent of
it's money to higher education, and
the average of the ten low. DOpu-
lation states, to which Delaware
might more appropriately be COM
pared, averaged about IL per cent
for this vital purpose. In fact, in

university have not kept pace with
the increases in enrollments," he
observes.

those currently confronting the

duplicating and unwarranted in
stitutions and programs such as
junior and teachers colleges, vet

any such doubling of state appro-
