TM Battalion -> Catlaga Station (Braxm Coantv), Tamm g>A f\K?T Cl PAGB 2 TmUaj. 30. 1958 AU STIN. Tex.- Through the summer rampeigns “eronomy in government" were words that rustled about as harmlcosiy ax an evening breeze But with the approach of win ter and down to the lick do* bud get making time, the same words have the cutting edge of a blue norther. Gov. Price Daniel stuck a pin in any last rosy hopes that "things might not be too bad " He sent back the money requests made by heads of state depart ments for saying they were "wholly unrealistic.” Governor Daniel had been the last major hold-out against pre dictions of a major money crisis. Other state officials had been crying doom and foreseeing a shortage of up to ) 140,0U),0tX) for months. Governor Daniel took note of these predictions in asking de part ment heads to re-examine their budgets, eliminating any non essential items. A deadline of Get. 8 was set f<>r the new requests As originally submitted, the requests would raquire a $272,- 000,000 increase in spending. "I think and hope this decline in state revenuesjis a temporary condition," said the governor, “but a realistic approach. . .re quires that ltbMt-61 requests should not exceed the lOM* F*9 level unless absolutely essential.” Deficit Soon A further glum note was the state comptroller's forecast that the general revenue fund would run dry in oAober. And it probably won’t be a temporary thing, according to Comptroller Robert S. Calvert. Almost every’ spring the state has a seasonal shortage just be 5>re the April deadline for fran chise tax paying. Calvert said this deficit may Continue until September, 1959, and bring a return of some of the squeeze* of the 1930’s. Dur ing those years state employees had to pay a discount of from one to five per cent to cash their pay checks since the banks that cashed them had to hold them for some time waiting for the •tale to get the money to make them good. Calvert said the general rev enue fund began the new state fiscal year in September with a $1.1,000,000. This is not a very big kitty for the government's billion-dollar-a year operation. Hard, Decision Kdumtion Commissioner J W Kdgar is the mgn in the middle an the controversy over accept ing federal aid (W Texas schools. Dr. Kdgar h;js until the end of this week to decide whether to recommend to the State Hoard of Kducation that Texas partici pate in a new federal aid plan. This program, prompted by na tional defense concerns, is de. signed to help step up training of mathematicians, scientists and teachers. Edgar’s decision must be made in the light of the recent recom mendation by the Hale Aibe'i Committea, a grhup of mfluennal citizens and laWmakers, that the stale slip taking some federal funds it is already getting—for school lunches and vocational training. by fhm Earle Who's Here at Agpielancl 'Fish ’ Martin An Aggie Since His Diaper Days John Martin, 18-year-old Sgn Antonio freshman in Squadren 2, is one "fish’' who didn’t have much choice as to w hat college to attend—he is a descendant of a long liee of Aggies, his dad, "28, three uncles, one great uncle, and a grandfather "found" this “gar den spot” on the Brazos before him. He says that he remembers that even his diapers had "My Dad Was a Texas Aggie” on them. Oh well. . . . A graduate of Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio, John ran the 8841 on the track team, and was vice president of the school’s skin diving club. And he is a real honest - to-goodness skin diver. John has been chasing fish around ’neath the deep blue sea for about four years. H* usee direction of Gregor Millar, con- belt, and. natch, a spear gun. “It takes lots of guts at first," John remembers. “You have tho feelirifc of being completely alone, and of being in a completely dif ferent environment from any you have ever known.” Catching an 18 pound Jewfiah with a rod and reel ia excite ment enough, but John “caught” one with hie spear gun and fought with Lhie monster for about 40 'Minute*—underwater. He has hunted in Lake Austin, at San I Marcos and at Port Aranaas in { the Gulf. He has been down to depths of 80 feet in his shin div ing exploits—which is just about 60 feet too deep for me. John ie a bueiaos tion major and plans to go iata business with his father eventu ally. Hie dad ia e general con tractor in Sao Antonio. Ho aaye he wants to fly with the Air Forpe for about 5" first, though. T T~——— AiM MENS SHOP 103 MAIN — NORTH GATI AGGIE OWNED "Now 'bout that uniform. Finh Squirt. Kwh Squirt, are you in there?
