Delyte Morris of Southern Illinois University said Tuesday that State Sen. R. G. Crisenberry R-Murphysboro will introduce before the state legislature ft bill to embody the school's request for an as yet undetermined deficiency appropriation to complete its current bien-nium. The announcement, made before a gathering of state legislators, faculty members, and student organization representatives, had been expected for several months.

Rep. August C. Grebe, (R-Pe-oria), member of the Legislative Commission to Visit and Examine Educational Institutions, making its biennial visit to SIU, said after the speech that introduction of the bill would follow the school's determination of the amount to be requested. Morris said Dec. 15 that the amount needed to supplement the 'present budget for the biennium ending June 3 would probably not be known until late January when costs could be more accurately forecasted.

Morris' speech reported earlier remarks in which he had described the University's financial condition as the "worst in its history" and how SIU's rapid enrollment increase had resulted in crowded classrooms, increased teacher load, loss of research time, find curtailment of other services. The University has requested for the biennium beginning July 1955, $16,500,000 for educational operations and $35,704,300 for buildings and capital improvements. The amount for educational operations is $8,117,500 above the amount appropriated for the current biennium. This was given 'after a request for $13,116,700, excluding $850,000 for auxiliary operations no longer included in the school's operations request. Grebe said that his committee six members of a larger 18-per-son committee surveying state penal, charitable, and educational institutions would report directly to the legislature wit that the i information gathered would be used by the legislature's budgetary committee.

The budgetary committee, now in sessions, studies the requests and then presents them to the full legislature Grebe said that he, personally, was favorably disposed to the Un He was bom in Union Coun Council Does Little Business birthdate of Melvin Jones, founder Of those taking petitions today, ty May 3, 1900, the son of the of the organization.
