THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1955
The Dark Ages
Things don’t look too good for A&M as
things now stand.
With everyone and his brother out to
stop us from building up a decent athletic
program, the legislature is considering a bill
which will prevent us from building the kind
of scholastic program we need.
No matter how many good points the bill
has, the fact is that A&M needs more money
for expansion of programs and better salar
ies than the new bill will allow.
A&M is a technical school, and the unit
cost per student is higher than for a liberal
arts school. With the legislature basing sal
aries on an “out of date” formula of stu
dent enrollment, the college has no chance
of getting the apropriations it needs. Stu
dent enrollment is fine, but when a student
attending school here raises the costs above
that of other schools, something has to give.
And, let’s not give away our good faculty
members to other schools who can offer bet
ter salaries.
The best hope for changing this standard
formula is apparently going to be in the
hands of the Texas Commission of Higher
Education. This group has plans underway
to make a restudy of the formula, and pos
sibly to formulate a plan so that the differ
ence in financial costs between a school like
A&M and a liberal arts school can be ad
justed.
If a student can get more out of A&M,
the legislature should be willing to put more
into the school.

Appropriations
(Continued from Page 1)
This created a problem, particular
ly in the graduate field. The con
ference report on H. B. 140 re
duced this requirement by requir
ing governing board approval only
for undergraduate classes less than
10 and graduate classes less than
five students.
The bill also changes the travel
regulations by converting from a
detail itemization of meals, hotels,
and other expenses, to a $7 per
diem basis. The prior limit was
if out overnight, or a limit of $4
for meals if not out overnight.
Dewey is sponsor of a bill that
would put provisions regarding
travel that are, written in this ap
propriation bill into a basic sta
tion.
