Chancellor Presents Budget For Next Year
The University's $2,019,008 budget for the school year 1941-42 was announced today by Chancellor Malott as finally approved by the Board of Regents. The budget represents a $28,000 decrease over the expenditures by the University in 1940-41.
Less money will be spent on salaries and maintenance next year despite the $71,000 increase in the University budget appropriated by the state legislature this spring. The decrease was made by figuring on a 20 percent enrollment drop for next year.
Chancellor Malott explained the decrease by saying that the budget was made up on the philosophy that in this time of national emergency it was impossible to predict what next year's enrollment would be.
The budget for local University expenditures was $1,613,122 including costs anticipated for the new secretarial training course.
Next year's curriculum will be streamlined, according to the Chancellor, with many courses that have been deadwood being dropped from the schedule. The heads of all departments were asked by the Chancellor this year to reappraise their courses in light of the national emergency.
Next year more courses to aid the national defense effort will be in operation and about 75 courses that were offered this year will be dropped from the schedule.
Combine Services Sunday
One of the most impressive and inspiring aspects of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary will be the Sunday Morning Union Church Service, in Hoch auditorium at 11 a.m., Sunday, June 8.
Invitations, signed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and Russell Carter, chairman of the Ministerial Alliance of Lawrence, have been sent to ministers and leaders of church groups in Douglas county.
Bundles Group Collects $155.54 At Bridge Party

NYA Application Deadline Set for August 1
All applications for N.Y.A. positions for next fall must be in at the N.Y.A. office before Aug. 1, Velma Wilson, executive secretary, said today. The number of students employed through this office was about 75 smaller than last year, Miss Wilson said.

SEVENTY-FIFTH—
(continued from page 104)
In 1903 Dyche Museum of natural history was erected, and soon housed the finest collection of specimens of its kind in the mid-West. It was closed for extensive repairs and remodeling in 1932 and will be reopened at 4 p.m. tomorrow, with the dedication speech by Dr. Alexander Wetmore, director of national museums.
Also in 1903 Professor E. M. Hopkins of the department of English conducted the first class in News Writing. In 1906 Prof. Leon Nelson Flint was drafted from his position as alumni secretary to become the first lecturer in journalism. In 1916 he was made chairman of the department. He has announced his retirement as chairman of the department, and the Flint Dinner, to be held in the ball room of the Memorial Union building tonight at 6:15 will honor this teacher, who for
35 years has followed closely the history and development of the University. More than 300 of his former students and friends will be present.
Other High Spots
Other high-spots of the Anniversary will be class reunions, with luncheons, dinners, and breakfasts. The general alumni meeting at 9:45 a.m. Monday will give old grads a chance to get together and reminisce. A barbecue in the stadium tomorrow night will provide food and
entertainment, and students, faculty, and alumni will assemble for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner Saturday, June 7.
The Baccalaureate exercises Sunday night will be conducted by Rev. Frederic Lawrence, grandson of the man for whom the town was named. Commencement Monday night will lend a fitting touch of dignity to the festivities, as the Seventy-fifth Anniversary comes to an end.
