The total budget proposed by the Kansas Board of Regents for state institutions was cut by $3,600.00.
In defending their budget, Chairman Clement, Hall, Coffeyville said;
"We concluded that our recomendations were not only reasonable, but absolutely neces.ary."
The regents proposed a total salaries and wages figure of $9,984,059 for KU. The amount was cut to a recommended $9,357,134.
The base program for salaries which provides for faculty members already hired by the university, was cut by $446,852.
Money for expansion of the present faculty was cut by $164,073, leaving a total of $7,462 to provide for new faculty members.
This reduced the total budget ap
propriation for salaries by $625,982.
Other operating services which include contractual services, commodities, and capital outlays were reduced by $118,410. The reams had recommended a figure of $3,827,613
A building program requested by the regents was cut by $105,000. The regents had asked that $170,000 be provided out of the general revenue. The Governor's committee recommended $65,000.
The regents asked that $1,100,000 be provided from the EBF which is funded by a 54 mill state wide property tax.
Recommendations for funds from the Educational Building Fund and "all other sources" were approved by the committee.
"Other sources" were not specified in the committee's report, but they approved the regents $122,000 request.
The hearing was in the nature of a budget review. The hearing committee, headed by James Bibb, state budget director, met with the regents and University officials.
The regents were given on opportunity to defend their proposals. The recommended budget will
now be forwarded to Gov. Docking for his review. He will make further recommendations and prepare a formal budget which will be forwarded to the legislature for its consideration.
During the legislative budget hearing session sometime in January, the budget will be reviewed by the Senate and House of Representatives. Actual reviewing is done by each house's Ways and Means Committee. Any recommendations made must be passed by both legislative branches.
When the budget has been passed by the legislature it is forwarded to the governor for his signature. The governor may then veto various budget bills if he so desires.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and Executive Secretary Raymond Nichols met with the regents during their regular weekly meeting this morning to discuss the budget.
The Chancellor's office said that Dr. Murphy wished to study the budget in more detail before issuing any statement. A statement is expected on Monday.

Heart Attack Kills B and G Foreman
Byron Walters, county coroner,
said Jenkins died of a heart attack
at 6:55 p.m. when he was driving in
he 1300 block on New Jersey Street.
"Death was instantaneous or else
Jenkins became unconscious right
away." Mr. Walters said.
John Hazelet, Lawrence police chief, said his men found Jenkins slumped over in his car next to a fence in the front yard of a house at 1345 New Jersey St.
He said his hand or arm had apparently fallen against the car horn because the resident at that address heard the horn and called in a report to police when he found Jenkins.
Leo Ousdahl, assistant superintendent of the buildings and grounds dept., said:
"Jenkins was an excellent worker and had always been very popular with his men. He had worked until 5 last night."
Rumsey's Funeral Home said funeral arrangements have not been completed.
Poison Halts Sunnyside Rats
A 14-inch rodent was killed in the living room of apartment 7-B lost Sunday afternoon. Angry Sunnyside residents complained to the Daily Kansan and the housing office.
The residents of Sunnyside Housing Project/ report the rats which invaded their homes last week are gone.
Phillip W. Prawl, Lawrence senior, who killed the rat with the help of another resident, said:
"We have not heard one noise or seen a rodent recently."
"Maintenance men have done a fine job—more than adequate, I'd say. They came down at about 1:30 Tuesday afternoon and scattered liberal amounts of poison under each of the nine units. They crawled under the buildings and spread the poison in every place that a rat could possibly pass.
"Mr. Chestnut (William Chestnut, housing manager of dormitories) personally came down to supervise the job. Everybody's happy."
