FANN Hig-her education in Texas stands at a threshold. Much of the future of educa tion beyond the high school in this state will be decided by the legislature during its present session. Gov. John Connally, in ad dressing this legislative body Wednesday, proposed a change in the organization of Texas col leges and universities which may have much impact on the future course of this state’s educational advancement. Briefly, Connally suggested that three super systems be or ganized under the governing of one strong central coordinating board. This would replace 11 such governing groups. The three systems would in clude the Texas State Univer sity System consisting basically of A&M and Texas Tech and in cluding other smaller schools; the Texas University System with the University of Texas and the University of Houston as the chief members; and the State Senior College System comprised mostly of the state teachers colleges. This plan would allow strong er coordination of the state edu cational system than presently exists, but either of two other plans might be even stronger. The first of these was sug gested two weeks ago by the state Legislative Budget Board. It proposed four regional sys tems headed by Texas A&M, Texas Tech, the University of Texas and the University of Houston. This plan would strengthen coordination on a more local level and would con tain one major state university in each group. The other plan has not been formally proposed, but it might allow better statewide coordina tion than any of the programs heretofore aired. This arrange ment would call for three boards under the strong central body: one for state universities, one for state colleges and one for state junior colleges. Gov. Connally's reorganization plan still is quite vague and much will be written and said about it before the 59th legisla ture closes its books. At first glance, however, there appears to be a super Texas University System, a sub-super Texas State University system and a sub-par State Senior College System. AUSTIN (A*)—A pay raise for public school teachers “is of paramount importance,” Gov. John Connally said Wednesday. But he differed with the power ful Texas State Teachers Associ ation on how to go about it. The governor recommended to a joint session of the Legislature a salary increase program, spread over 10 years and giving the biggest benefits to experi enced school teachers. Already before the House and Senate, with a sizeable corps of co-sponsors, are bills to imple ment the teachers association’s demand for a $45-a-month boost in minimum state-supported sal ary levels. Connally built the case for his alternative on principles stated by the TSTA itself. “A stronger salary base for teachers is both justifiable and desirable,” the governor said. The TSTA plan, sponsored by Rep. George Hinson of Mineola and Sen. A. M. Aikin of Paris, would kick the minimum salary for a beginning teacher with a bachelor’s degree up to $4,407, starting in September. Connally’s plan would raise the level to $4,500 by the 1973-74 school year. The maximum level would rise from $5,094, which a teacher with a bachelor’s degree reaches after 10 years, to $6,390 after 15 years experience. Minimum pay for master’s de gree holder would rise from the present $4,239 to $4,806. The maximum would be increased from $6,075 after 17 years serv ice to $7,326 after 20 years. Joe B. McNiel, Wichita Falls school superintendent and TSTA legislative chairman, said Con nally’s proposals “are inadequatf for the immediate and long-ranjt needs of teachers.” In a statement, McNeil sail I Connally’s attention to teacher; salary is “commendable" ani | “some of his proposals are pealing.” But, the spokesman said, the minimum salary schedule went up $2,000 in each of the past Id- year periods, considerably less than Connally’s plan would raise salaries over the next 10 years The governor also advocated tuition-free graduate study for school teachers seeking advanced degrees during the summer at state-supported colleges and uni- versities.

SPONSORED BY FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY NOW, WHO THOUGHT THAT : :; For aeons, man has looked up to the stars . . . wondering . . . questioning. Now, at last, those age-old questions of what lies beyond his farthest gaze are being answered by creative, down-to- earth thinking. At Lockheed Missiles & Space Com pany in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, Cali fornia, a select and dedicated team of Polaris missiles and Agena satellite specialists continue to evolve new con cepts—further extending man’s outward reach. These scientists and engineers, schooled in logic, skilled in shirt-sleeve know-how, explore a thousand thoughts every day. What might you think up in such dis tinguished company? Lockheed strongly encourages con tinuing education and advanced degree work as a basis for creative thinking.Two programs are maintained in support of this principle: • LMSC’s Tuition Reimbursement Pro gram remits seventy-five percent of the tuition for approved courses taken by professional and technical people who are working full time. • The Graduate Study Program permits selected engineers and scientists of outstanding scholarship and potential to obtain advanced degrees at com pany expense while on research assignments. Advanced degree candidates in Physics or Mathematics; Electrical/Electronics, Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering should investigate career opportunities at Lockheed.
