    Tuition-Aid Bill Introduced

AUSTIN (A*)—Sen. Jack High- cannot attend private colleges be- less than half of the amount OTHER measures introduced in
Ag Magazine Editor To Speak Here Monday 3-1
tower of Vernon introduced two
bills Wednesday which he said
would make it financially possible
for more Texas students to go to
college, at a tax saving to the
state.
One proposal authorized the
College Coordinating Board to
award tuition scholarships up to
$300 per semester. The other per
mits the board to contract with
private colleges for instruction
and services.
Hightower said many students
cause it costs them about nine
times as much as a state-financed
school. That results, he said, in
more and more students “flood
ing the public senior and junior
colleges at rapidly increasing cost
to the taxpayers.”
“IT COSTS between $1,200 and
$1,300 a year in appropriated
funds to educate a student at a
state-supported college or univer
sity,” Hightower said. “So, a state
tuition scholarship of $600 per
year would cost the taxpayers
needed to educate him if this
made it possible for him to attend
an independent institution.”
Sen. O. H. Harris of Dallas in
troduced a bill to change the
Texas primary election date to
the fourth Saturday in July. A
runoff, or second primary, would
be the fourth Saturday in Au
gust. Harris’ bill would go into
effect in 1970 and would be ef
fective every two years there
after.
the Senate would:
• Set up a special law en
forcement aid fund, to be admin
istered by the Department of
Public Safety, to aid local com
munities.
• Make it unlawful to deny
employment for refusal to sub
mit to a polygraph examination.
• Give local school boards the
authority to set retirement age
for professional and “supportive”
personnel.
