Regents approve $1 million increase to general budget By Susan Green Editor

An approval was given by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges to increase the CSU 1987-88 Education and General Budget by $1 million at their Sept. 11 meeting at Northwestern State University in Alva. "Everything we asked for was approved," CSU President, Dr. Bill Lillard said. "When the 87-88 budget was adopted, it was a very slim budget ($29,834,358.00). We waited to see how the enrollment count came out before approaching the Regents." Lillard said with the economy appearing to be turning around, state appropriations did not have to cut back as much. He said the increase in budget will be spread out equally and will allow for a 3.5 percent increase to areas that were down- funded when the '87-88 budget was released. At this time, Lillard said the budget picture is brighter than it has been in the last five years. In other business, Lillard informed the Regents on the leave of absence of Dr. Kay Kincade, for medical reasons. Kincade is an assistant professor from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Regents accepted the retirements and resignations of several faculty and administration. Dr. Colen B. Maxwell, chairperson and professor from the Department of Administrative Services and Business Education will retire effective Dec. 31. Mr. Lindsey C. Owsley Jr., assistant vice president for administration will retire effective Dec. 31 also. And, Dr. Barbara J. Ryan, interim vice president for Administration and professor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation retired Aug. 31. Resignations included: Ms. Kay Edde Holt, instructor of Music, N
