UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence

Office of the
Chancellor

March 13, 1945

To Heads of Departments:

The budget conference schedule for 1945-46
is enclosed. ;

The University faces another year of uncer-
tainty. Enrollment will depend somewhat on the progress
of the war, We have no assurance of any military pro-

_gram after this semester, and it seems inevitable under
present Selective Service policies that civilian student
population will continue to decline. These facts should
guide you in formulating the requests for yeur depart—
ment for the year 1945-46.

Conferences will be held in the Chancellor's
Office, The committee for any conference will consist
of the Centrai Budget Committee, the head of the depart—
ment concerned, and the dean or director interested in
the work of the department under discussion,

The maintenance and irregular payroll forms
which are enclosed should be completed and brought to
the eonference,

Sincerely yours,

DEANE W, MALOTT
