March 29— De- claring the report on the University of | Mar; d submitted by the special In- vestigating Committee of the State Senate to ictive,” Dr. Ri mond A. Pearson, president of the uni- versity, today said he felt sure “its con- clusions will be helpful to us in making our plans for the future.” ‘The report was submitted to the Sen- ate last night after a probe which had kept the committee busy for five we Dr. Pearson said he did not care gmmentlon ity detail until he had ' studied it cayetu! One of tfie lmpurlant recommenda. tions ¢z the committee was that District of Columbia students at the University Maryland should be charged at least ¢ 850 more tuition than students from Maryland unless Congress passes & measure to contribute $50,000 a year to the upkeep of the institution Although the salaries of deans, pro- fessors and employes of the univer- sity should be scaled down to present- | mittee's report, there was no recom- mendation for of H. C. Byrd, vice president, who was credited by the com- mittee with building up the university and occupying a position in its life which “would be hard to replace.” The committee declared that Gov. Ritchie's 40 per cent cut in the univer- sity's budget is “a wholesome effort at real economy” which “will not, in our opinfon, react to the disadvantage of the university.” Piecemeal payment of salaries leads to extravagance and overpayments and should be abandoned, the report said. In this connection it declared that the salary of Dr. Pearson should be carried in the budget as one item of $15.000 instead of three items totaling that amount; Would Limit Stufént Body. Other recommendations contained in the report included the following: The student body, now numbering 1,933, should be limited to 2,000, and the university officlals should devote themselves to building up the institu- tion within this number, rather than seeking to increase the enrollment. The General Assembly should approve pending bond issue for $200,000 for an arts and science building at College Park, because class-room conditions are “far from desirable,” and also the pend- ing bond issue for $150,000 for a woman's dormitory, because the students should be properly housed. Consideration should be given the question of- combining the dairy manu- facturing plant at College Park with the university's dairy department. Would Increase D. C. Tuition.
