THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, FEB. 24, 1976
Both University and state offi
cials have discussed limiting en
rollment at state universities for
some time. Yet the legality of
■such limits has never been estab
lished.
A special committee ap
pointed by A&M President Jack
K. Williams made a number of
recommendations last No
vember on enrollment limits.
The Board of Regents sub
sequently rejected those rec
ommendations anticipating that
the Texas Legislature will take
some action on enrollment limits
during its next session. During
its last session the legislature au
thorized the State Coordinating
Board to study and make rec
ommendations on maximum en
rollment for all state universities.
The legislature will act on what-
: ever recommendations it re
ceives from the Coordinating
Board.
Coordinating Board officials
say they will not be able to sub
mit any recommendations to the
legislature before late this fall.
The legislature will not convene
again until January 1977 and
could not take any action affect-i
ing enrollment before fall 1977. f
Basically this amounts to a
game of hot potato. Setting an
enrollment limit for universities
supported by taxpayers is a hot
issue and the Board of Regents,
the Coordinating Board and the
State Legislature do not want to
get burned. In tossing the prob
lem around these three have
avoided establishing whether
enrollment limits would be legal
under the Texas Constitution.
State Attorney General John
Hill has not delivered an opinion
on enrollment limits at state uni
versities. Officials in Hill’s office
said last week such an opinion
could be delivered by mid
summer, well before the Coor
dinating Board completes its
recommendations.
The Board of Regents should
ask for an opinion on enrollment
limits now. An opinion from Hill
this summer could save
thousands of dollars and hun
dreds of hours if limits are illegal.
It would also help university offi
cials make definite decisions on
A&M’s future. L. R.L.

Today is Tuesday, February 24,
; 1976, the 37th day of the spring
_• semester. There are 74 days until
Final Review, 80 days until the last
• final exam.
On this date in 1965, a skirmish
; occurred “between insurgent
athletes and loyalist members of the
Corps of Cadets’ squadrons 10 and
11. The unwarranted, unprovoked
aggressions (according to the Corps)
by the civilian terrorists came as the
outfits were marching to their eve
ning meal, ’ reported The Battalion.
“Armaments consisted of snow
balls, handbills (sic) of ice, and
’ cadets. Second Wing officers
pledged that any further attacks
would be met with the same swift
retaliation. ”
“On this date in 1956, Aggie shot
putters Bobby Jack Gross, Herman
Johnson, Tom Bonorden and Harry
Cox set a world record for combined
distance by four men on a single
team. Gross, Johnson and Bonorden
all recorded heaves of over 54 feet.
On this date in 1942, members of
the College staff were informed that
they would be required to sign
pledges stating they were not Com
munists in order to remain in the
employ of the school.

The selection of your bank when you
came to College Station was based on
a set of circumstances that will change
dramatically after graduation.
You've changed. And your banking re
quirements have changed, too. You
need a bank with world-wide connections and a staff of specialists to handle your
affairs through the time of transition from student to professional.
The Bank of A&M understands your situation. Our World-Wide Department was
created to give A&M graduates a permanent banking home that is responsive
to the special requirements of people on the go.
After graduation, you’re going a long way. Drop in our bank and ask how our
World-wide program can help you get there.
