    4. President MoVeyls Quarterly Report.

    The following report was made by President McVey,

         It has been customary at the spring meeting of the Board
    of Trustees to present the University budget, to discuss it an-
    finally, after such modification as the Board may see fit to
    make, to adopt it as a basis of conducting the University
    the coming year.   I am unable to present a budget at this
    meeting since the Legislature adjourned without providing
    funds for the conduct of the governmental institutions
    of the state and because no action was taken upon a general
    budget.

         The State Budget Commission met in January and at
    that time the University presented a budget for the three
    divisions of the University on thesupposition that   1/;   -
    the inheritance tax and 6.7do of the general property tax
    would no longer be assigned to the University of Kentucky.
    The sum of $850,000 was asked to supplement the income


7.


from miscellaneous sources for the purpose of conducting
the college division.   This sum included $85,000 as a
possible offset to the decline of warrants which might
be received.   In addition to this sum, $80,000 annual-;
ly was asked to conduct the summer school.   An item of
$20,000 annually was put in for repairs and the sum of
-30,000, which has been in the budget for many years,
was asked for agricultural instruction.   In addition
to this,-he sum of $79,000 annually for two years was
requested to pay back salaries that were not paid in the
year 1931-32.   The general statutory provisions for the
support of the Experimrit Station were asked, and also
for the continuance of agricultural extension.

     After hearing the University and other departments
and institutions the Budget Commission recommended that
in general the University should receive for the next
biennium the same amount it has received this past year,
cj679,000 for general expenditures.  The Commission
also included $10, 000 annually for the summer session,
'lO ,000 for repairs, and  25,500 for agricultural in-,
struction.   I am told that the Interim Committee has
placed $79,000 in the annual budget for the payment of
back salaries.   The Experiment Station is to receive
$50,000 and the Public Service Laboratories $22,000, al;
so the agricultural extension is to have $t?120,000. These
are the same amounts that were appropriated two years ago.
The state now awaits action of the Governor in calling
an extra session.   Unless provision is made for addi-
tional revenue the state can not go on and not only will
the educational system of the state suffer but it will
be impossible to conduct the courts and any other agen-
cies of the state.

     Since December when the last meeting of the Board
of Trustees occurred, the University has been brought
into considerable relationship with the Federal govern-
ment,   Not only have the Experiment Station and Agria
cultural Extension been carried on but a great deal of
administrative work necessary to the administration of
the Agricultural Adjustment Act regulating the produc4
tion of tobacco, corn, hogs and wheat,    The amount of
work done by this division of the University is very
great indeed and is hardly known to the public.    The
service rendered has been of a very high order.

     In addition to -that, the University has caxried on
a number of projects on the campus, due to the provisiorn
of the Civil Works Administration.    Grading was under;
taken on the campus of the College of Education, some
repairs were made to roads, buildings were painted, and
walls and walks built, all of which were worth while
and valuable.   In addition to that, the Civil Works Ad-
ministration has provided a fund of $15 a month for
255 students who are working under the direction of


8.


university departments.   The Civil Works Adn1inistration
has also provid-ed funds for some survey work in connec-
tion with the Tennessee Valley Authority which has been
under the direction of the departments of Political Sci-
ence, Economics and Education.

     The city has completed its project in front of the
campus through the use of funds from the Civil Works Ad-
ministration.   The University donated a, strip of land
running from Euclid Avenue to the Agriculture Building.
The city has widened the road, put in additional pave-
ment and built a retaining wall along the edge of the
grounds.   It has widened South Upper Street in front
of the Education Building group.

     Several circulars have been received from Washing-
ton indicating that it might be possible that Congress
would appropriate money to erect armories at land grant
colleges.   The University of Kentucky has made applica-
tion for such funds but so far no action has been taken.
Hope is that a considerable sum of money will be given
to construct an armory for the use of the R. 0. T. C. and
other student activities.

      Increased interest has been shown on the part of
students in the Student Union Building.    It is true
that such a building is ouite essential but so far no
application has been made for funds to construct the
building,   Under provisions of the Act the government
would provide about 30% of the cost of the building.
The University would have to finance the balance. One
of the student organizations is endeavoring to get agree-
ment among the students that a fee of $4.00 a year shall
be collected for the purpose of paying on the amortiza-"
tion charges of such a building     fit the present time,
the matter rests in abeyance.

      The long expected report of the Griffenhagen Asso-
 ciates employed by the state in connection with the
 Governorts Advisory Comrm1ittee has appeared.  This re-
 port states that on the whole the University is econom-
 ically operated and its finances well managed.    It
 states also that lack of funds has entailed deferring
 essential maintenance repair and improvement projects.
 Co:plimentary mention is -made of the research, library
 and other agencies of the University.    Attention is
 called ouite specifically to the high cost of instruc-
 tion in the College of Ingineering, Agriculture and Ed-
 ucation,   Thenethod used by the Griffenhagen Associates
 is to equate full-time students and to divide the cost
 of the college by the total of such equation.    The or-
 dinary procedure has been to divide the cost of the
 college by the number of students enrolled in it. The
 College of Agriculture is reported in this document to


9.


     cost 8628 per eouated student, $552 in the College of
     Education and $386 in the College of Engineering.   Fron
     such study as I have been able to make thus far in the
     matter,  the Associates have not taken into considera-
     tion the students that are in Home Economics.    However,
     I am not prepared to say that this is the case.    The
     important point about the matter, after all, is that
     such examination is largely a matter of bookkeeping.
     If the junior college work in the University were omitted
     from the study of the cost of all the colleges, the ex-
     pense of the colleges would probably show little variation.
     The least expensive part of the instruction in Education,
     Agriculture and Engineering is done in another college
     and credited to that college.    The enrollment in Agri4'
     culture could be doubled without increased cost to the
     state and the expectation is that this enrollment will be
     increased in the course of a little while.    It is a cues-
     tion also whether a study based on one semester's work
     would be accurate.   The variation might be due to the
     fact that the faculty of the College of Agriculture had
     a lighter schedule than usual and, in addition to that.,
     the question arises as to whether the study makes a proper
     assignment of salaries to instruction.

          Taking the report as a whole, however, it presents
     the specific needs of the University in a fair light.

          I can report that the University has gone on under
     very difficult circumstances; that there is a cheerful
     and hopeful attitude in the staff and that the morale
     of the University and student body may be regarded as
     certainly well above the average.


     5. Taxes UncoLlected This Fiscal Year a- Question of Distribu-
tion.

     President McVey stated that his attention has been called to
the cuestion of distribution of general revenue and inheritance
taxes due before June 30, 1934, but not collected until after that
date; that is, as to whether all of such collections shall be credo~
ited to the General Fund of the State, or whether the part allo-
cated to the schools will be set aside to them.     It seems  that
some one interested in the schools had submitted this question to
the Auditor of Public Accounts, that he did not show an unfavora-
ble attitude toward payment to the schools, but that he will re-
quire an opinion of the Attorney General, setting out the Audi-.
torts duty in such contingency     The question was left open for
further investigation.


     6. The Griffenhagen Report.

     President McVey presented the report of the survey of the
University made by Griffenhapen Associates employed under the
act of the 1932 Legislature, to make survey and audit of state
departments and institutions.   The report was discussed at
length, all the points of criticism, constructive and otherwise,
shown by the report, were pointed in the minutes of receipt of
the Report.


     7. Report of Fraternity Council Approved.

     The report of the Committee of Fraternity Finance was pre-
sented and discussed at some length.   Mr. Hillenmeyer raised the
question of the high cost of music at fraternity dances,    It was
agreed that he was right in his criticism of such expenditures,
but it was thought best to approve the mutual agreement of the
fraternities and the Dean of Men, it appearing that the agreement
will probably automatically take care of excessive expenditures,
The report was accepted and on motion and second the agreement
was approved,

     The report follows:


                                         April 5, 1934

     Dear President McVey:

          The Committee on Fraternity Finance has completed
     the plan which has been approved by all the social fra-
     ternities.   It has been suggested that the entire plan
     be printed in the Kernel when it meets with your approv-
     al,   We understand there is a meeting of the Board of
     Trustees today and thought that you might wish to pre
     sent the program to them before we went any farther with
     it.

          A copy of the plan with the signatures of the com_'
     mittee and representatives of the fraternities is enll
     closed.

     8. Widening Rose Street

     President 11ckey stated that during the short time since the
last m-ieeting of the Executive Committee, due to his absence from
Lex,~ington, that of Dean Cooper and M1r. Morton, nothing could be
done toward the proposed agreement to widen Rose Street.  It was
the sense of the members of the Board that the project is worth-
while and the Committee was given further time, the resolution
as appearing in the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting
of {iarch 27, 1934, to be changed to read as follows:

          It was moved and seconded that the reouest of the
     City of Lexington to widen Rose Street from Limestone
     to Washington Avenue be referred to the Committee here'
     tofore appointed, to-wit, President F. L. McVey, Dr.
     George Wilson, and Mr. Louis Hillenmeyer, provided, in
     the opinion of the Committee before named, this widen'
     ing can be done without material injury to the Univer-
     sity and that the benefits to the University be greater
     than the injuries to the property and provided further
     that the plan as finally approved by the Committee be
     accepted by President McVey.   The motion carried, the
     Committee being empowered to act.


     9. Fire Escapes.

     President CoVey submitted the following communications from
the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds relative to the need
of fire escapes and other regulations at Smith Hall;

                                         April 4, l934

     Memo to: President F. L. MoVey


                                   Re: Smith Hall

     Chief Henry has sent me copy of a letter having to do
     with a recent inspection of Smith Hall which I am en-'
     closing.

     You will recall the State Fire 'Marshall told us some
     time ago that it would be necessary to install a fire
     escape on the building for the benefit of persons re-
     siding on third floor.   If this floor could be kept
     vacant and not used for sleeping purposes it would be
     unnecessary to install fire escape.

     I saw Mrs. Harrison yesterday about the acumulation of
     trash and she promised to have it cleaned up this week.

     The windows in cuestion can be ecuipped with spring sash
     weights,

     The costs involved are:

            1. Fire Escape...........     $190,00
            2. Spring Sash Weights          12.00
                                          $202. 00

     Cordially yours,

     (Signed) l{. J. Orutcher.


     Letter from C. J. Henry, Chief, Fire Department, Lexington,
Kentucky, to Mr. M. J. Cxutcher, Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds, March 29, 1934.

                          Re: Chi Omega House, 319 Lexington Ave,
     Dear Sir:

          An inspection of the above mentioned building was
     made and this inspection revealed the following:


15.


          That, six girls were sleeping on the third floor
     of this building and that the third floor of this build-
     ing has only one exit.   This constitutes a dangerous
     life hazard and is in violation of the State law.

          An accumulation of trash and paper was found in
     the store room on the third floor and this room must
     be cleaned at once.

          The lower sash in the windows on the third floor
     should be either placed on sash weights or some other
     means provided for the windows to be windows to be
     easily opened, as, in their present condition, it
     would be very dangerous for the girls to use these
     windows in case of fire, due to the fact that no pro_-
     vision is made for holding the windows up.

          Trash, paper and other inflammable material should
     be moved from the basement.

          A fire escape must be provided for this building,
     as well as the one located on the campus known as
     Neville Hall.   Some time ago I received a letter from
     Dr. HcVey, asking that I take the matter up with the
     Govennor in regards to placing an escape on Neville
     Hall.   I received a letter fro'm the Governor and he
     said that he would cooperate with President MoVey in
     regard to this matter.   I suppose that Governor Laf-e
     foon has conmunicated with President MoVey in regard
     to this matter.

          I trust that you will give these matters your im-
     riediate attention, and that it will not be necessary
     for this office to take legal action to have these
     fire escapes installed,

                                Respectfully,

                              (Signed) 0. J. Henry
                                        Chief, Fir e Departm..ent


     It was the sense of the members of the Board that the law
should be- complied with, and, on motion and second, it was or-
dered that fire escapes be placed on Smith Hall and that fire
escapes be placed on Neville Hall.
