(AP Wirephoto) Kennedy Tightens Controls On College Aid Legislation By Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON—President Ken nedy has tightened his grip on legislation for aid to colleges and universities. After meeting with the President March 29, House Democratic lead ers announced they were dropping plans to push through a $2.7 bil lion college assistance bill. In stead, Administration hackers in dicated that the college aid pro gram would he lumped together in the Kennedy omnibus aid to edu cation package. ADMINISTRATION sources said, however, that medical and dental schools would be getting separate treatment in a $237 mil lion aid program, which House lead- mTsS* | 4 /A A* TA a 1 Id PROTECT YOUR AGGIELAND! PLASTIC COVERS ARE NOW ON SALE IN THE STUDENT PUBLICATIONS OFFICE LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT OF THE YMCA. only 25 ers plan to wrench out of the House Rules Committee next week. Dropped was a college aid hill introduced by Rep. Edith Green (D. Ore.), Chairman of the House Special Education Subcommittee. Her measure would have provided assistance for all types of colleges, including medical and dental schools. Mrs. Green, reportedly attended the White House meeting hours before her subcommittee was to have approved the program. At tending the meeting* were Speaker John W. McCormack, House Demo cratic Whip Hale Boggs, Chairman Oren Harris of the House Com merce Committee, and Chairman Adam Clayton Powell of the House Labor and Education Committee. After the meeting, Mrs Green ad journed her subcommittee and dis closed that no further work would he done on her measure at this time. THE HARRIS committee ap proved the Medical School Aid bill now in the Rules Committee. A seven-to-seven tie is expected to be broken next week when Ad ministration supporters, Rep. Ray Madden , (D.-Ind.), casts tie-break ing vote—sending the measure to the House floor. The legislation provides a three year program with $175 million in grants, for medical and dental schqol construction, and $61 mil lion in loans for medical and den tal school students. The White House meeting re portedly solved a minor battle be tween Harris and Education Com mittee officials over who would control college aid. There was some indication that Harris might allow the loans to medical students to be extracted from his bill, and handled by Education Committee officials. NEW LIFE WAS given to Ken nedy’s 24 point education package providing $5.3 billion for aid to education when Mrs. Green agreed to go along with majority opinion and support the omnibus bill. How ever, other Education Committee sources indicated that some parts of the Administration’s package would be dropped, especially those that would fire a chui’ch-state dis pute on Capitol Hill. National representatives of col leges and universities were disap pointed that Mrs. Green dropped her college aid bill. Strong, bi- pai’tisan support was expected to carry the bill through the House. These supporters feel that if the college aid program is included in the omnibus education package, it could be killed indirectly by a congressional fight over other pro visions in the 24-point program.

THE BATTALION Tuesday, April 9, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 3 ROAM ENTIRE STATE Fokelore Hounds Seek Tall Tales A group of Aggies travel widely to collect information for term papers on folklore about hurri canes, cattle drives, rural schools and other topics. The 35 Aggies are students of Dr. John Q. Anderson in English 329, Folklore and Folk Song. TVo former students in the course won top prizes for papers in 1962 competition sponsored by the Texas Folklore Society. “THE MAIN THING about the course, Anderson said, “and I think what makes it enjoyable, is the students feel they are doing it on their own.” How much research the students do in preparing- their term papers on topics of their choice at times impresses Anderson greatly. One Aggie went to an East Tex as town to gather folklore. * He was so impressed that he plans to enter law practice there after com pleting his studies. Members of the present class plan field trips during the spring recess, April 11-15. GEORGE E. REESE of Dallas, for example, will go to Vernon to gather information about Geroni- mo and Quanah Parker. Accounting major Dee Tyler will talk with residents of the upper coast about hurricanes. Tyler said his check of library materials, students do this as a preliminary step, shows “there’s a lot still to be recorded about hur ricane lore.” “It’s common lore that if a bot tle of shark liver oil turns cloudy, a tropical storm is near,” Tyler said. A BUSINESS administration major, Bob V. Gpmez, Ft. Worth, is writing a term paper on experi ences of his grandfather as a sol dier in Pancho Villa’s army. Senior Kirk Blackard, an eco nomics major from the Mount Pleasant area, also will draw heav ily upon experiences of his rela tives. His term paper concerns “The Lore of Texas Rural Schools.” A game called “town hall” is among Blackard’s discoveries. “Some of the players got so good they could throw that ball through a jug handle,” a man told Black ard in recounting experiences of 60 years ago.
