"State of the University" message Tue.-day to a umuned iauriivun
ot Noin.an's civic organizations.
Speaking to a group of 180 Ctoss outlined the fiscal and phjsi-
cal situation of the university.
Advancement and progress there has been. This was made clear
as President Cross solemnly and in business-like manner enumer-
ated the great strides made by the University ot Oklahoma during
the past year.
On enrolment: the Norman campus lias 12.017 students up 7
percent over last year. Reporied was tiie tccord-brtakir.g total of
13 396 students.
"With respect to fiscal matters." Cross repoied. "the univer-
sity expended during the school jear of 1961-62 on the Norman and
Oklahoma City campuses a total of $17101432 ot which $10 mill'on
came lrom state appropriations. This was the operational budget."
The increase in state-appropriated moneys was onlv 5 percent.
Faculty salaries were raised 2.3 percent for the past year and
due to increased fee income this fall the average faculty salary was
hiked almost $400. I
"Tiie largest single construction and mode i r.iz.Pion program
in tiie university's 70-year history is now shaping up. The total pro-
gram will represent an outlay of approximately SI 5 milhim. Funds
ior the program will come from. . .the state bond issue student
faculty bonds. FHI1A loans as well as grants from the Department
of Health Education and Well. ire and the National Science Fou.nda- '
tion. i
"The bonded indebtedness. Cross said "is being reduced on j
schedule. The total. . .now amounts to $9.9 million. Our indebted- i
ness will he increased during the coming year because of construct- i
ion of new (student) housing.
The new housing is designed so that it may house cither men or
women as current needs will demand It was added that in the new
housing one will not be able to look out one window iibo another or ;
see from the outside to tiie inside of a room.
Gilts and grants during the past fiscal year amouned to almost
S6 million. "Total federal funds received for research grants and i
contract research amounted to $5 345 million " 1

Bureau of Standards and the Gerommo project research projects I
of Fort Sill: the establishment of an Oil Information Center and !
the construction of a new research lab by the Oil Recovery Corpor- j

A U.S. spotter plane carrying
an Army special forces captain
an Air Force captain and an Air
Force sergeant was downed Mon-
day in the jungle 10 miles North
