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.

: :;
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. BS candidates in AE, EE
and Mathematics are also encouraged
to apply.
