The recommended increase and a detailed estimate of the needs was forwarded to the Utah Building Board by President William P. Miller. The increase would hike the total from $18,945,000 to $22,450,000 The increase contemplates that WSC would receive $1 million of the total from the government through the recently signed Educational Facilities for Higher Education bill. A main change is a proposal to switch from the 1967-69 bien-nium to the current 67-67 bien-nium of a classroom building to cost $2,400,000. Another is to increase the cost of the five-story science building from $2,730,000 to $3,030,000. This would enable the college to make additions to the structure that were programed for a future time. The college also asks that plan-rang funds for a $1,100,000 classroom building be switched from the 67-69 biennium to the current two-year period. President Miller said the building program revisions are deemed necessary in view of the fact that day class enrollment stands at 4489, an increase of 27.1 per cent over a year ago. The fall quarter estimate had been 3875. or an increase of 9.7 per cent. President Miller said an incomplete study of the fall quarter enrollment shows that many more older students than contemplated have enrolled. The college bases its estimates on the number of students who live in the area, broken down into the various age groups. The college estimate is that Weber "State will have 10,000 day students on campus by 1975. A maintenance building is also switched to the current biennium, and the cost upped from $400,000 to $450,000. Campus developments for the biennium walks, landscaping, utilities are increased from $640,000 to $700,000. Overall result of the reshuffling is to speed up classroom build ing schedule, enlarge some of the planned structures, and add one additional classroom building. Comparisons for the biennium expenditures due to the revisions, follow: 1965-67 from $5,210,000 to $8,020, 000. 1967-69 from $2,780,000 to $1,425, 000, (the decrease to placing. 1969-71 from $4,545,000 to $6, 195,000. 1971-73 from $3,745,000 to $4, 295,000. 1973-75 from $2,665,000 to $2, 515,000. The decrease is clue to the advancing of the $2.4 million classroom to the current from the 67-69 biennium, with the result a smaller classroom building would be needed in 67-69.

" Senator Wallace F. Bennett (It-Utah) reported today that Utah schools will receive about $18,317, 000 over the next four years under education legislation just enacted into law. The amount is conditional upon continuing Congressional appropriations and could be higher, the Utahn said. Congress, in extending the Fed-through fiscal year 1965 and fiscal year 1966, continued a formula under which Utah elementary and secondary schools couid receive about $7,600,000. About $1,600,000 of that amount will go for school construction, and about $6 million will be used for paying operating expenses for the school districts, according to the Senator. In both cases, the aid is given only to those districts which have a sufficient number of children whose parents work for the federal government. "As yet, Utah's entitlement for the present fiscal year has not been determined. However, it probably will be more than $3 million for operating expenses and about $800,000 for school construction," he said. "Utah's schools are eligible for assistance under the newly extended National Defense Education Act (NDEA) conditionally up on Congressional appropriations in -the next four years." He reported that Utah's schools will receive about $10,757,000.

Title five Guidance counseling and testing, identification and encouragement of able students (the testing is carried out under state plans, and the tests are conducted in public, elementary, and secondary schools, or in public junior colleges), $574,432. For the present fiscal year, the NDEA funds for Utah schools will be. Title one $355,845 for community colleges and $1,468,421 for uuder graduate institutions and $30,000 for state commission.
