NUMBER 20
Varrt
Austin. — While the Legislature
in special session on voter regis-
tration grabbed the headlines, far-
reaching developments were afoot
in the field of higher education
last week.
Coordinating Hoard for Texas
Colleges and Universities recom-
mended a whopping increase of
nearly $1(50,000,000 in appropria-
tions for its state institutions dur-
ing the coming biennium.
That would bring the total 1907-
68 spending level to $420,100,000
for the tax-supported college-uni-
versity system, including $52,800;-
000 for public junior colleges.
Board also concluded that “pri-
mary responsibility” for doet u al
degree programs should be re-
stricted to four schools: The Uni-
versity of Texas, Texas A & M Uni-
versity, Texas Technological Col-
lege and the University of Hous-
ton. Doctoral programs at other
in 48 districts.
Fourteen incumbent senators
face no Democratic opposition.
Five sets of senators are paired
off against each other, insuring a
total of ID oldtimers in the 31-
member body next year.
OIL ALLOWABLE UP AGAIN
—Texas oil production for March
may be at the highest level since
May, 11*59, due to an increase in
the allowable for the sixth straight
month.
Railroad Commission set the fig-
ure at 33.2 per cent of capacity.
Market demand factor was highest
granted since the percentage for-
mula was adopted on Jan. 1, 11*6:1.
Production ceiling for next
month is .'{,100.000 barrels daily.
Commission set .'52.7 per cent as
production pattern for February.

Consideration will be given to Ar-!
lingte n State College's offering I
joint doctoral degrees in the Fort
Woith-Dallas area with tin two!

Board, should in the future be lim-
ited to the University of Texas,

Tech, and existing medical schools
she tiId continue under I'T juri-dic-l
iln. '
A pivliminai y repot t on the role
and scope of junior colleges recom-
mended that these institution-
should provide a full two-year col-
lege transfer program at the
fteshman and sophomore level,
plus technical, vocational, adult
and c< ntinuing education programs.
Seven state schools were placed
on a priority list to share $7,<*:i7,-

leased through the U. S. Office of
Education to be used for under-
graduate building projects.

Snow Turns Area
Into A Winter
Wonderland
A winter storm brought approxi-
mately 4 inches of snow Tuesday
night and turned this area into a
picture wonderland Wednesday
morning. The snow began falling
early Tuesday morning, but melt
ed as fast as it fell until late in
the afternoon, when it began to
stick to trees, shrubs, wire and
cover the ground. It continued un-
til cnrly Wednesday morning.
The snow made driving hazard-
ous, especially on bridges which
were covered by ice, as the mer-
cury stood near the freezing mark
Low temperature readings were
from the upper 20’s to just above
the freezing mark on Tuesday.
East Lamar School at Patton-
ville was closed Wednesday be-
cause of the weather and hazard-
ous road conditions. Cunningham

usual.
The comeback of winter follow-
ed a week end of springlike weath-
er when the temperature climbed
to near the 70 mark.
