The Louisiana State University board of supervisors yesterday, in effect, told the Louisiana Legislature "we'll take anything
we can get" in the way of capital improvement funds, but "we don't want anything we didn't ask for" in other appropriations. In a stormy day-long session,
which lasted from 9 a. m. to al-| most 7 p. m. and included a three-hour closed session, the board:
Agreed to concur in the cap- j ital improvement program recommended In the executive budget presented to the Legislature Sunday night, calling for a new library and designating other improvements to be built with the $6,153,500 recommended.
Authorized President Troy Middleton to speak for the board regarding other bills affecting the university.
Condemned a $1.8-million cut in the proposed operating budget.
Expressed a decision that it did not want any funds appropriated for special projects not included in the requested operating budget.
Agreed, after a bitter fight and long parliamentary wrangle, to ask for legislation authorizing it to enter into a lease with the state museum in New Orleans for use of the Huey P. Long home there as a home for the dean of the medical school, provided a long-term lease can be arranged with the late governor and U. S. senator's son, Sen. Russell Long.
