There is a feeling we ought to raise tuition. But even though the state has economic problems, so do Texas families.” Dr. Sammy Ray, interim president of Texas A&M University at Galves ton, said that since A&M-Galveston is a special-purpose institution and has a high cost per student, there might be a tendency to raise its tu ition. The institution is in a unique situ ation because approximately 40 per cent of the students are not Texas residents. “It would lead to a decrease in our out-of-state enrollment,” he said. (Continued from page 1) frustration involved, Alders said, and they’re the ones who will l>e- come disillusioned. He, however, was ready for the position. “I wasn’t operating under any delusions of grandeur. I already knew that my powers were insig nificant at best — so I wasn’t sur prised,” Alders said. Royall said he too had enough experience in Student Govern ment to be prepared for the of fice and avoid disillusionment. Sims said he thought he was pre pared until he got the job, but then he wks caught somewhat off guard by the politics involved.

Reynolds said the Coordinating Board needs more power, but not in the area of enrollments. “They don’t need that power,” he said. “How do you tell parents their child cannot go to A&M because of enrollment limits?” But he said A&M has had a good relationship with the board in the past. “The impact on A&M will proba bly be minimal, but it could nave a major impact on other institutions,” he said. Royce E. Wisenbaker, a member of the A&M Board of Regents, said universities have facilities and man power in place to set enrollments. He said the Coordinating Board would have to develop these. “I doubt very much that it is a wise thing to do,” Wisenbaker said. “We need our own regents to call the shots, instead of employees of the Coordinating Board.” L. Lowry Mays, another member of the A&M Board of Regents, also opposes the measure. “I’m not sure the Coordinating Board should have the power over the major universities to limit enroll ment,” Mays said. “I definitely think the universities should determine enrollment.” However, Dr. Sammy Ray, in terim president of Texas A&M Uni versity at Galveston, said enrollment the poor health of the Texas omy. fan is Monger, director of information and legislative i for the Coordinating Board,sail goal of the legislation is to Coordinating Board the po» look at the state higher system as a whole. “T he thought behind itisthat university may grow quickly By Oli Se Harris C led with th< leted out aotball pla !th for a ki licted him targes.
