Jin Republl can chairman from 12 Midwestern states today urged election of a Republican President if symbolic of the ideals and heirtage of toe Middle West" The Republican state chairmen said birth and the rebirth of the Republican Party came from toe great Midwest" The group in statement of policy urged reduction of governmental expanses and income taxes and passage Of labor legislation on the fundamental prln cipal that it will protect the rights of labor appropriations during the past six years has been offset by the 31-cent decrease in the value of the dollar and during this same period enrollment jumped from 5102 to 9000!" the report explains The report goes on to say that appropriates less than any of the eight bordering states" while only two of the state universities have a larger enrollment than U-T and only two neighboring states have greater per capita wealth annual appropriations for higher education amounted to 98 cents per capita in 1944-45 as compared with an average of $143 for all 48 states Tennessee ranked 36th with many states appropriating more than $2 per capita and the leading state giving $744 verdict will be decided by the 75th General Assembly"

extension Foresees Enrollment Insufficient money has created a faculty problem as the 1948 enrollment doubled the pre-war average The upswing in enrollment Is expected to increase during the next six years to give U-T an eventual enrollment of 13000 in 1949-50 Carefully worked out estimates show enrollment leveling off at approximately 15-000 students with only gradual growth thereafter facilities must be prepared now" the reports states faculty problem stems from lark of funds the report points nut and says that law of supply and demand is working against U-T because of its comparatively low salary scale" and Its inability to meet competition from industry and other colleges A total of 352 new faculty members will be needed to train the 11000 students expected by the fall of 1947 Already 37 of the high-ranking members of the U-T faculty who have become familiar enough with the state to make invaluable contributions have left salaries as much as two or three times the salary received
