     I recommend. an increase in the appropxriations from
the unappropriated surplus for budget changes for the
Colleges 1 Arts and Sciences, Law, Education, Agriculturee,
tUniversity xtenslon and Libraries, in the net amount of

     The construotion of the Fine Arts Building is pro-
gressing about according to sohedule and the equipment
for this building should be puxrchased within the current
year,   I recommend that an appropriation of two hundred
thousand dollars be made for the purpose of equipping the
Fine Arts Building.

     The Board, at the time of approval of the budget, made
an appropriation for extraordinary repairs and restoration
of University property.   Items of repair have bee author-
ized to the extent that this budgot is ne.arly exhausted.
There are other repairs and restoration projects that
should be given attention, and I recommend that the budget
be inorease4 by the amount of l5OOOO.QO, which will be
spent for extraordinary repair work approved byr the Pre81-
dent,

     The Board of Trustees entered into a contract wilth
the State Board of 'Mucation for instruction to college
studeents enrolled foil courses not offered by the Kentuicky
State College.   The university is required to provide In-
struction and expenses) which will be refunded by appropri-
ation made available to the Kentucky State College,    During
the course of the work, we have no funds with whloh to pay
instructors for teaching, and the expenses Involved.,  I
recommetd that appropriation4 of Q10,000OO be made and set
aside as a revolving fund for paying salaries and expenses
incident to this agreement,

     It was decided to purchase additional equipment for
Bowman ial to make It possible to increase the number or
occupants during the current year,    New furniture was pur-
chased at a cost of 06,500O.O0   1 recommend that this amount
be appropriated out of the unappropriated surplus and used
for the additional equipment for Bowman Hall,

     Certain budget changes have been made in the Haggin
restricted fund, and we desire to report these contemplated
changes and. request approval of the Board of Trustees as

In spite of these traffic aids, the public and students continued to

ous to the life and safety of students and faculty on the campus.

ed for all campus roadways.

tomobiles and trucks at a maximum of twenty miles per hour, and au-
