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.
