VOLUME L FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27,1972 NUMBER 6 State Cuts $437,000 From DU Allocation by David Shlifer On October 19, 1972, Governor Milton Shapp approved $2,763,000 in State funds for Drexel. This appropriation was $237,000 less than Drexel had expected, and to make matters worse, the Gov­ ernor’s figure involved a cutback of $437,000 from the original appropriation proposed by the Pennsylvania Legislature. According to Harold M. Myers, Treasurer of Drexel, the Uni­ versity had initially requested $3.7 million in state funds for the academic year. However, Drexel’s officials were aware that this figure was ^'unrealistic,** and they had expected $3 million from the state. Myers noted that even with $3 million in state aid, Drexel's budget this year would carry a $600,000 deficit. Until October 19, it appeared that good news was in store for Drexel. Although Governor Shapp’s recommendation was for $2.7 million, the Pennsylvania State Senate approved $3.2 million for Drexel on September 28, a little more than a week after the House had passed this same appropriation. Planning on $3.2 million, the Treasurer's Office at Drexel revised the budget to include a re­ duced deficit of $400,000. The Pennsylvania State Constitution allows the Governor to cut back funding to his own original recommendation if the Legislature has proposed a his^er funding figure. That situation being the case. Governor Shapp approved the $2.7 million figure. Myers believed that the Governor's action was not politically motivated. He accept­ Warning to students: Saveral cars' tires have been slashed in the lot behind the Asbury Ministry.
