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-

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.

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.
