The administration is doing everything possible to make the new library the center of at tention on the campus.

This figure represents an appropriation of $137,500 for a new chapel and an equal amount for a classroom and laboratory building for the science department, each sum representing 55 per cent of the amount necessary to construct the building. These improvements are onmiditioned upo;n vt-uring grants from the federal government for 45 per cent of the total building costs. Under ordinary permanent im proveilents the University asked for $25,000 for extension of Petigru col lege, $55,000 for two new boilers, $10,000 for a central heating plant for the ieldhtuse, Steward's hall, and the gymnasium, and $7,500 for an automatic sprinkling system for LeConte college. Salaries Increased The proposed budget calls for an average increase of 5.6 per cent in all salaries of the faculty and ad ministrative staff. The increase also would apply to all other workers in order to restore them to the 1930 compensation scale and enable them to meet the rising cost of living in Columbia. The University estimated that it would need $943,524.28 for total op crating expenses for 1941-42. The estimated revenue other than from direct legislative appropriation is $375,100. Deducting the latter figure from the former, the University's request for direct legislative appro priation is $568,428.2S.
