AMERICAN U. PLANS 10 SEEK §1.500000 School to Ask Sum to Meet Debts and Increase En- dowment. To balance the operating budget of American_University, a public appeal will be launched by the Board of Trustees next Fall for a sum of $1- 500,000, it was announced by Edward F. Colladay, who is chairman of the Advance Program Committee of the board. Present indebtedness would be cleared off, Mr. Colladay explained, and a small increase of endov\mmt would bs provided in order to “place the uni- versity on an even financial keel.” The committee, Mr. Colladay said, during the past six months made a careful survey of the financial require- ments of the university. Has Small Endowment. “We undertook this,” he explained, “with the twofold purpose of holding our finances steady during the present general depression and also of building toward a future growth and develop- ment that will be worthy of this uni- versity and the city. “This survey indicates an immediate need for $1,500,000 with which to bal- ance our operating budget. No college in America makes an operating profit from tuitions. Every college must have an endowment, the income from which supplements tuition receipts. Ameri. can University has accumulated thus far in our brief history an endowment of $741,000. This represents very sub- stantial progress for an institution as jons st is, but on the other and it is far too small to bridge the university across a period of stress. We now have 600 students, and in ac- cordance with general = educational standards this enrollment would re- quire an endowment of $3,000,000. “However, we have no intention of asking for this sum now. All we rec- ommend at this time is to wipe out our indebtedness in order to eliminate | o - the drain of interest charges and add enough to our endowment in order to balance our operating budget. Hope for Even Keel. “After we get our budget balanced our committee recommends a modest building and enlargement program, but at the present time expansion should be kept in the background. The present imperative need is to put the university on an even financial keel. During the present storm we must hold this frcnt institution steady, so that it may fulfill its purpose of representing the Amer- ican ideal of education here at the tion's Capital. I am sure that friends of education will give us their co-op- eration at this crucial time.” Other members of the Advance Pro- gram Committee are William S. Corby, Wade H. Coofler Daniel C. Roper, John C. Letts, Bishop Willlam F. McDowell and Chancellor Luciu C. Clark. FIFTH VENIRE DRAWN IN PANTAGES TRIAL 3 Prosecution in “Girl Market” Case| Enters Eighth Day in Court.
