Budget Cuts

Mr. Shannon further stated that the report
of the Future of the University Committee
dealing with enrollment projections through
1980 will not have any effect on the current
budget requests which have been already
submitted to the state legislature.

He did however comment that because of
the split between the republican governor and
the democratic legislature the resulting budget
may be considerably less than anticipated.

"If the legislature cuts back the budget
requests so severely that we cannot accommodate
students and faculty there is a chance that
enrollment figures may have to be revised
accordingly," Mr. Shannon warned.
