CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. MT. PLEASANT. MICHIGAN. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1959
NUMBER SEVEN
Michigan's latest cash crisis
has created a "grave situation
for Central" according to N. C.
Bovee, vice president of business
and finance.
"Materials and supplies we
have requisitioned since the first
of July have not been released
from the state purchasing division," AH of Central's purchases
go through the State Purchasing
Division in Lansing for approval.
"Wo arc forced back into the
same  situation  wo  had  last
year." Mr. Bovos said, "of buying nothing. At that time we
used our inventory right down
to rock bottom."
Central is now faced with the
situation of using up its inventory again in light of not having
been able to completely rebuild
it following the previous money
situation.
Mr. Bovee explained that Central's situation differs from that
of the University of Michigan,
Michigan State University and
Wayne State University. "Those
schools receive their money in
the form of a check from the
State and if the check doesn't
come they must go to some
other source to meet the payroll
and buy supplies."
He went on to say that Central is credited with its budget
on the State books and thus all
its purchases must go through
M Ifisl Stiffs;
Craffclil Cliiii
Lansing. If the State can't afford to buy the equipment Central needs they're requisitions
are held up and no equipment
comes to us.
"This was the same situation
We were faced with last February," Bovee said, "when we had
to requisition supplies and materials on a month to month basis."
Central is again faced with
this situation in view of the
present cash crisis caused by
ihe State Supreme Court decision against the newly en-
voked use tax.
"Eighty-five per cent of our
budget is used in paying salaries and wages so if we are faced
with cutting back on expenses—
well, you can decide for yourself." Central is credited with a
budget of §3,485,425.
"It is certainly a grave situation for Central."
Michigan's cash crisis has
sharply curtailed spending at
Central, N. C. Bovee, vice president of business and finance,
disclosed early this week.
The University has been stifled in four areas according to
Bovee's Monday announcement.
These areas are out of state
travel, purchases of equipment,
supply and material purchases,
filling vacancies and establishing new positions.
Out-of-state travel io attend
conventions or meetings has
been completely eliminated.
There is a possibility that
travel for other institutional
business will go on if ihe president or vice president in
charge of that area approves
the expense,
io submit iheir requisitions to
ihe business and finance office
within ten days.
Each department was directed
to take an inventory of its supplies   and,   whenever   possible,
plan to operate on a bare minimum basis with the supplies it
already has. Requisitioning supplies on a minimum month to
month basis was suggested.
No new personnel may be
hired io fill vacancies unless
University services are wholly
dependent  on  ihe  person in
thai position. Additional staff
members may be hired if ihey
are io move into a new facility
or function thai was considered for operation during this
fiscal year.
All of Central's divisions and
"Polio immunization is now
well established as a safe and
valuable protection. No serious
reactions now occur." stated Dr.
Pease.
Immunisation i s usually
comploie after ihree injections are given. Tho interval
between the first end second
injections should be ai least
. four weeks and may be as
long as ono year. The interval
botween ihe second and ihird
doses must be ai least seven
months. Authorities differ regarding iho desirability of a
fourth dose.
The injections should not be
given during an acute illness or
during recovery from surgery
or accident. Exceptionally allergic individuals should discuss
the situation with a doctor.
If you are unprotected it is
important to start immunization now in order to get the
the three doses in before the
next polio season.
There  are  ihree  important
strains of polio. Thus one who
has  had   ihe   disease   is   not
necessarily    immune    io    all
three  strains  and  should  be
immunized.
Polio   vaccine   is   offered   to
students at §1 per dose. Sign up
at   the   Health   Service   before
NOVEMBER 6.

There is a possibility that
25,950 college students could be
sent home due to the state Supreme Court's ruling outlawing
Michigan's newly created use
tax, State Controller James W.
Miller said Monday.
The students would be forced
to pack up because the state
might not have the funds to support its Colleges and Universities.
Miller  also   said  ihe  Siaio
faces a net loss of 75 million
dollars as a result of the use
tax being ouilawod.
Michigan State University is
faced with the prospect of op-
crating with a one third budget
deficit, but Dr. John A. Hanna,
MSU  president,  said he might
just as well close the university
as try to operate on one third
less money.
Ho said, "Five os six thousand students could ho sent
home" if iho school's funds
wero cui.
The alternative would be "to
consider closing down the University at the end of the present
fall quarter, and instructing stu
dents not to return at the start
of the winter term January 4,"
he said.
Hanna  reminded   Governor
Williams thai this new round
of  "fiscal  crisis"  will  send
"another shock  wave  of unrest running through our faculties   With   resuliing   lasting
damago to our institutions."
During the first crisis situation, MSU, University of Micihi-
'gan and Wayne; State University  were  threatened  with  the
loss  of instructors  to  out-state
institutions.
U. of M's President, Harlan
Hatcher, said it is "unthinkable"
that the university would be
asked to curtail education because of the fiscal crisis.
Both  State  and  Michigan
