       F. Presentation of the Internal Budget for 1967--68

       Dr. Albright said that the presentation of the internal budget is always a
happy prospect as well as a rather large undertaking. The procedures followed in
the preparation of the 1967-68 budget are very much the same as those used during
the past two or three years. The University has moved increasingly toward the
preparation of a program budget and Dr. Albright said that in his opinion the docu-
ment which was placed in the hands of the Board members approximately ten days
prior to the meeting reflects very clearly this movement. He explained that a
program budget in its simplest terms attempts to put to each unit of the University
three rather important questions: (1) what do you expect to achieve? (2) what will
you emphasize in your program to achieve those objectives? and (3) at the end of a
year, how will you assess the progress which has been made through that program
toward achieving those goals set forth? This year these three questions became
even more pronounced in the allocation of funds to the various units. First and
foremost, a budget is a financial expression of a University's program. It is based
on how many students an institution plans to take care of, how many are expected to
enroll, how many faculty members are needed, and what expenditures are neces-
sary to maintain staff and students.

       Dr. Albright introduced Dr. Don Clapp, one of the key persons involved in
the preparation of the budget. Dr. Clapp showed slides giving the current per-
centage distribution of income and the percentage distribution of expenditures as
well as the proposed percentage distributions for 1967-68. Graphs of the anticipat-
ed enrollment figures on which the proposed budget is based showed the following:
