Arn Cuts KU Budget More Than $1 Million
The University's request for $12,593,937 from the State Legislature for operating expenses in the 1953-54 biennium was reduced by $1,178,937 in the recommended budget submitted to the lawmakers by Gov. Edward F. Arn.
The governor also trimmed the KU Medical center budget. It asked $4,611,915, and Gov. Arn recommended a $184,500 cut.
It was part of a general trimming which was given the requests of all the state schools. Kansas State college was cut $1,273,612. Fort Hays college was the only school which escaped the ax.
He added that it was hoped the legislature would see fit to restore some of the reduction.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said this morning that he was "confident that the request would not be cut further."
"If it isn't restored," he pointed out, "it will mean that some Universal services will have to be curbed." It was not prepared to say which ones.
The $12 million figure submitted was for operating expenses only, and did not include any requests for building appropriations. That, Dr. Murphy said, probably will be considered in February.
The board of regents meeting in Topeka tomorrow will consider what might be improved outlines matters. He indicated that nothing to do with budget matters.

In this area, the University of Missouri was so hard hit by the "flut" outbreak that hospital beds were moved into the ballroom of the student union to treat ailing students. About 210 students were being treated there and at the school's hospital.
One bright spot in the picture were the reports that most of the cases were not serious. Dr. George Trimble, health director at Missouri university, described the "flu" which hit that school as a mild type which lasts from three to five days.
