The university's bud- get has also felt the growth as it multiplied from 54,434,495 to 59,293,588 During his time in office, an endowment association program was embarked upon and fund rais- ing reached a high of 58,000.

Crestview Acquisition Expansion-Theme of WSU Final steps in acquiring 140 acres ofthe Crestview County Club property, were com- pleted Juy3, 1967. Dr. D. Cramer Reed, chairman of the WSU Board of Trustees, announced that the total principal and interest costs ofthe purchase, will be paid to the Public Building Commis- sion by the WSU Board of Trustees, over a period of 20 years. WSU will take over the occupancy of the buildings now situated at the club site in 1969. The acquisition ofthe new property will re- lieve the presently over-crowded conditions at the university. These conditions were created by the 74 per cent increase in the Wichita State enrollment since it became a member ofthe Kansas State System of high- er education, three years ago. With the purchase of the new property the acreage owned by the University will be dou- bled. Governor Robert Docking, president of the Board of Regents Pictured above are the Kansas Board ot Regents.
