The proposed increase, which was not in the budget submitted to he Budget and Control Board, was isclosed in the Board's annual re ort. In h i s appropriation request, 'resident Sumwalt asked for an ppropriation increase of $742,151. f this $540,161 would go for in tructional and research purposes. Calls for Increase "Our student-faculty ratio is 19 o 1, the highest in the state," aid President Sumwalt ". . . this s far above normally approved tandards." President Sumwalt called for a aculty salary increase of 15%, till only "one-half of what is now ieeded to put us in a competitive >osition with our (out-of-state) ieighbors." The Budget and Control Board tated that they recognized that unds should be made available to naintain high standards of in truction. Annual Report In their annual report, the board tated: "It is the opinion of this 'oard, concurred in by the heads f these (state supported colleges nd universities) institutions, that tudent fees should be advanced to aise a portion of this cost. In a statement to "The Game ock", Dean of Administration W. L. Patterson said: "In all proba 'ility, the University will recom nend this increase favorably to he Board of Trustees. Definite vord on the increase will have to ome from the Board of Trustees." Added revenues are expected romn an increase in laboratory ees. Receipts from these fees, in tituted this semester, are expected o mushroom from the $2,397.50 ollected in the past fiscal year--to n estimated $50,000 for the comn ng fiscal year. This is an increase *f $47,202.50 that will be applied to aboratory sciences. Extension Divisions Extension Divisions of the Uni ersity will contribute an added ~37,194.50 to t h e University. soney received from the extension ivisions totaled $202,905.50 for the inst fiscal year ending June 30, 959, and the next fiscal year is xpected to see a rise to $240,000. The total enrollment is expected o reach 5,100 by the fall semester f 1961. Cost-per-student to the state vill jump from this year's expected 650 to $761 in 1961. This cost is omputed on a year-to-year basis, and is included in the Budget and l'ontrol Board's annual report. Payment by Residents If the prospective increase in Jniversity fees is enacted, South larolina residents will pay a total >f $150-$40 Tuition, and $110 Uni rersity fees--and out-of-state stu tents will pay a total of $285 $125 for tuition, and $110 for University fees. The state Budget and Control Board recommended that the Uni versity receIve a grand total of $3, t61,000. This proposed appropria tion 15 $208,152 over last year's allotment, but falls short of the requested $742,151 incease by B584.997.
