SIX-YEAR CAPITAL OUTLAY REQUEST

The Chancellor presented the six-year capital outlay request for the period 1966-1972
which had been submitted to the Governor. Discussion centered particularly on the provision
for additional dormitory construction and the Chancellor noted that the requests called for
an increase for the next six years from 1,704 resident students to 2,004 resident students.
A further discussion centered on the need for additional land and especially the possible
availability of a tract of land of approximately seven acres adjacent to the College. The
determination of the biennium in which an appropriation to buy this land was to be made was
left to the discretion of the Chancellor and the President.
