The budget submitted would pro vide for three new campus buildings: a chapel and religious center, an ad- c dition to the University Library, and a laundry for the use of the student body. University officials in making the re quest emphasized' the fact that the ap propriation asked for covered only a minimum of the University's needs. John A. Chase, Jr., Dean of Adminis tration in conmmnting dpon the pro posed budget said: "The University is now going through a period of normal steady growth, and all requests for in creases are based on minimum require ments. The administration is asking for not one dollar more than repre sents the needs of the institution." One of the principal items requested is the repairing of the central heating plant of the college.
