Officer Filings Close Wednesday at 5 p.m. To Increase Funds More Spending Must for A&M AUSTIN UP)—A top education official told House inves tigators Saturday state colleges, including A&M, must in crease their spending at least $31 million in the next two years. Dr. Ralph Green, director of the-i — Texas Commission on Higher Ed ucation, said the commission feels general agricultural training- should be given at A&M, Texas Tech and Texas A&I and teachers colleges should restrict themselves to training programs for voca tional agriculture teachers. Avoid Duplication Wesley Roberts of Lamesa, chairman of the House Committee on Saving Taxes, said the com mittee is interested in avoiding the duplication among colleges, commenting “You can’t let every one have his own little alligator farm.” Green told the Committee col lege enrollments are expected to double nationally in 10 years. “But I’m a little bit skeptical : '"t Texas ( enrollments will double.” The number of students will climb at least 7.3 per cent in the next biennium according to a Tex as Research League study, Green said, and will continue to rise steadily as' “war babies” reach college age. Schools Must Carry State schools must carry most of the increased load, he said, “Be- oause the church supported schools have come up against the proposi tion that they can’t take all the students they want. They’ve reached the point where if they raise tuition again they’re pricing the students out.” Green described the commission as a coordinating body which can approve or disapprove addition of programs hut has little control over operation of established pro grams. Controls Need Strengthening Pie said controls over spending, particularly on buildings, needs po be strengthened, but admitted he doesn’t know what sort of agency yhoiild have the job. “1 am not one 'who would advo cate setting un an all-powerful authority here in Austin,” Green said.
