TRUSTEES APPROVE BUDGET; AWARD COMMUNICATIONS CONTRACT
A biennium operating budget request for more than twenty million dollars was approved
by Evergreen Board of Trustees at its monthly meeting August 15. The request, which
will be submitted to the Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management for the
1975-77 biennium, seeks $18,706,299 from the state general fund and college-generated
revenues, such as tuition and fees. The remaining $1,687,554 will be generated from
grants and contracts with the federal government and other program-sponsoring agencies.
The Board also awarded a $5,817,700 contract to the Jones and Roberts Construction
Company of Tacoma for construction of the Communications Laboratory Building approved
by the 1974 legislature. Construction is scheduled to begin immediately and completion
of the 82,400-square foot structure is anticipated by the fall of 1976. In other action,
