THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas March 23,‘1961 Education Aid Clears Senate By The Associated Press AUSTIN—Texas’ largest gen eral appropriation bill with siz able increases for higher edu cation and state hospitals, cleared the Senate almost unanimously Wednesday. The big $2.5 billion budget will require $154 million in new taxes for the two year period begin ning Sept. 1. It now goes to the House where a drive is un der way to get the House version of state spending released to representatives before the long Easter weekend. Senate passage increases the tension in the House to spring loose deficit retiring measures and tax bills to cover the costs. The Senate has no authority to consider talx bills until the House Sends one across. Senators, however, now may approve other Spending bills, such as the Hale- Aikin program. House members passed their first controversial bill of the ses sion but amended the Senate- adopted measure to undoubtedly require a' joint conference. This is bill SB217 to require milk brought into Texas to meet the same production standards as Texas milk. Sen. Grady Hazelwood of Ama- Discussions To Highlight UN Meeting ; Discussions and folk songs will be the main activities when the A&M United Nations Club meets tomorrow night in the YMCA Building. Chandra Parekh, club presi dent, said the session will start at 7:30 p.m. and will include the taking of a picture for the “Ag- gieland.” Program personalities and their presentations are Tanonghit Wongsiri, “The Thailand;” Mrs. Rena Banerjee, “An Indian Folk Song;” Mrs. Ahmed, “A Pakis tani Folk Song and Dance;” Jung Uck _Seo, “National Anthem and Folk Songs of Korea;” Chen Chi- Sin, “A Farmer’s Song from For mosa;” Coligado Elipidio, “Folk Songs and Culture of Philip pines,” and Sakou Toshitsugu, “A View of Japan.” rillo put the pressure on the state’s dairy inspectors to have personal knowledge that milk they approved met these stand ards. House amendments would require that other states* have in force the same milk standards in Texas before an inspector could certify the milk. The amend ment was tacked on by a 73-70 vote and the bill finally ap proved on voice vote. Sen. Ray Roberts of McKinney, finance committee chairman, powered the appropriations bill through the Senate with the sole objection coming from Sen. Culp Krueger of El Campo. The bill fixes spending from the general revenue fund at $364,288,408, an increase of $44,382,438 over the current level and about $12 million below the recommendation of Gov. Price Price Daniel. Although the bulk of the $44 million boost by the Senate went to higher education and state hos pitals, Daniel’s budget would add about $9 million more tho these two items. The appropriation generally continues state services as they are now with a few fringe addi tions. It does not include pay raises for teachers, medical aid .for the needy aged or other spending proposals being con sidered as separate bills. During the 20 minute discus sion on the bill, Sen. Jarrard Se- crest of Temple and Sen. Abra ham Kazen of Laredo urged that salaries for junior college teach ers be improved when the bill finally gets to a joint conference. Secrest v said junior colleges had recommended an average salary of $5,700, half way between the salary, for public school teachers; and senior college professors. He noted the budget recommendation “is considerably less than that.” Job Interviews The following firm will inter view graduating seniors: Mar. 24 The La Marque Independent School District will interview seniors majoring in agricultui-al education, education and psychol ogy, industrial education, phys ical education, biology, .chemistry, mathematics or physics.
