staff members, scholarships, 1 the policy of the University in doing maintenance, repair, and construction work with its own labor versus doing it on contract, the proposed transfer (including funds therefor) of the management and operation of the Research and Educational Hospitals from the Department of Public Welfare to the University, and the proposed transfer of the State appropriation for salaries of farm and home advisers from the Department of Agriculture to the University. T h e Commission was sympathetic with the needs of the University, and no particular items of the budget were questioned. T h e Director of Finance and members of the Commission stated that the total budgets of all State departments and other agencies as submitted would exceed the estimated income of the State and that adjustments in most, if not all, of these budgets would be necessary. No action was taken, it being the judgment of the Commission that further consideration of the University's budget should be postponed until the Commission has had an opportunity to review all budgets and to study estimates of State revenues to determine what adjustments may be in order.

This report was received for record.
