Western Washington Collegian - 1952 September 26

              New Budget
Approved
I At Meeting
\ Budget for Western Washington
1 College was adopted by the Board
\ of Trustees of the college August
t .28, to amount to $1,682,070 for sal­aries
and wages, $327,889 for opera­tions,
$79,708 for minor capital out­lay,
and $3,105,552 for major capi­tal
outlay for the 1953-55 biennium.
Dr. Haggard points out that the
request is not greatly above that
of two years ago.
The budget will be given to the
Governor, and then to the legisla-
, ture in time for the next meeting
{ of that body. The funds, if received,
will be used, in part, for an addi­tion
to the physical education build­ing
to provide sufficient room for a
men's gymnasium; for a baseball
diamond excavation at the south
end of the athletic field; and for
construction of a science building.
It is hoped that the college will also
be granted enough funds to con­struct
a health center, convert the
old auditorium, and add to Edens
hall and Mens Residence hall.
At the same meeting, the board
awarded a contract to Jim Hoag to
replace and widen the steps and re­taining
wall at the south end of
the main building. Since the meet­ing,
the work has been completed,
and the walk no longer affords a
danger to student and faculty during
icy or snowy conditions.
Tryoufr for New
Choir Announced
"Membership in the choir this
year need not be limited," states
Bernard Regier, choir director. "We
have additional new robes this year."
Membership is open to new stu­dents
as well as to returning stu­dents.
Anyone interested in singing
in the choir is asked to report to
room 15 in the Auditorium-Music
building, on Wednesday, October 1,
at 1 p. m. The choir will meet at
1 o'clock 6*n Monday, Wednesday
and Friday this year.
A busy schedule is planned, one
of the first appearances being on
Parents' Day, Sunday, November 2.
