You Think KU Costs You? Taxpayer Hit Hardest
Make a guess as to how much it costs to run the University for one year. If you think it's not much, you're wrong! And student fees don't pay for all the education the University offers.
Of the total 1955-56 University expenditure of $11,558,000, only $259,000 comes from students pockets. These figures apply only to University facilities in Lawrence and not to those in Kansas City.
A breakdown of University expenses shows $8,353,000 for educational and general expenses (which includes educational and administrative salaries), $1,208,000 for auxiliary enterprises (dormitories, scholarship halls, and student health services), and $1,997,.
000 for capital improvements (buildings and grounds improvements and additions).
Where does this money come from?
Kansas State legislation allocates
$6,185,000 for regular operating
expenses; student fees amount to $259,-
000; interest on money which the
State of Kansas has invested for
the University brings $21,000, and
Student Union fees amount to $88,-
000.
Income from dormitories, etc. amounts to $1,990,000, and the building fund which is allocated by legislation amounts to $1,934,000. These funds must include Student Union building funds and athletic association funds.

JERUSALEM (UP)—Israel and Egypt have agreed to a cease fire, the United Nations announced today.
Israel, Egypt In Cease Fire
The agreement came as a result of the current peace mission to the Middle East by U.N. Secretary Dag Hammarskjold.
Its acceptance by Israel and Egypt means that the key objective of the mission assigned Hammars-kjold by the U.N. Security Council has been achieved.
A U.N. spokesman said the Israeli and Egyptian governments notified Hammarskjold that as from 6 p.m. (11 a.m. EST) Wednesday orders were in force on both sides that "no military forces would cross the demarcation line or pass over that line for any purpose whatsoever."
It will prevent further clashes between the two sides and dampen the possibility of an Arab-Israel war, which had threatened to set the whole Middle East afflame.
