By TEMPLE POUNCEY
News Editor
Gov. John Connelly's House Hill 1 heads up a
list of six proposals before the Texas Legislature
this month that could radically change the face
of the state's higher education program
The governor's measure would place North Texas
in the University of Texas system and abolish
NTSU's present board of regents.
The series of rapid-fire ideas iiegan early in
January when Texas A&M University proposed
further integration into its system of Arlington
State College, including a name change of the
latter school.
Now in session in Austin, the legislature has
these six proposals to consider:
e The governor's House Bill 1, which would
align the state's 22 colleges and universities under
three boards of regents, abolishing the rest of the
11 boards which Bre now governing the schools
This bill would also establish a new "super" co-
ordinating board which would take some responsi
bility away from the present Texas Commission
on Higher Education (TCHEl.
• A counter plan by Sen. Walter Richter of (lon-
zales which would strengthen the TCHE rather
than create the new "super" board.
• A plan similar to the governor's, introduced
Wednesday by Sen. Dorsey K. Hardeman of San
Angelo and Sen. H J Blanchard of Lubbock,
which would set up four major college systems
instead of three.

The prevailing trait of North
Texas during its 76-year history
has been "not getting the claims
in advance of the facts, but let
ting the facta constitute the
claims," President J ('. Mat-
thews told 511 students who re-
ceived degrees in Sunday's winter
commencement.
President Matthews listed some
of the school's accomplishments,

tion of role and scope to offer
doctoral programs in the fine

and mathematics, as the need
arises,
2. Classification as a univer"
sity by the Texas Commission
on Higher Education and by the
Governor's Committee on Kdu
cation Beyond the High School.
3. Twice the percentage in-
crease in graduate students as
undergraduate students the past
three enrollment periods.
4. Certification of 1,000 teach-
ers in the last year the state's
largest single source of teach-
ers
6. More than 2,000 students
graduated in 1964 the second
largest source of degrees in the
state (Only the University of
Texas graduated more.)
The 611 students is a record
for an NTSU winter commence
ment and includes 432 bachelor's,
76 master's and 3 doctor's de-
grees.
DOCTOR'S DEGREE8
The three doctor of education
degrees were received by Mrs.
Hazel Stewart Weaver, high
school counselor at Haskell; Jer-
ry Heard Patrick, chief clinical
psychologist at Rusk State Hos-
pital; and George Cribb, music
professor at Campliellsville (Ky.l
College.
In his speech President Mat
thews also cited some examples
of quality in programs at North
Texas, such as:
1. It was one of two institu-
tions in the nation to conduct a
summer institute in economics
last summer.
2. It was one of four institu
tions in the nation to participate
in a project in teacher education
sponsored by the American As-
sociation of Colleges for Teacher

e Another bill, authored by Richardaon
along with fellow Fort Worth Rep. Tommy Shan-

sity at Arlington.
Gov Connelly's bill, first recommended Jan. 27,
is sponsored in the Texas Senate by Sen. William
1' Moore of Bryan, who awarded it the high pri-
ority "House Bill 1" designation, assuring It of
first discussion
The University of Texas would head ita first
system, which would include Texaa Western, ASC,
NTSU, Texas Woman's University, the University
of Houston, Texas Southern end medical and
dental units.
Its second system, the Texas Stale University
group, would include AAM. Texas Tech, Prairie
View AAM, Tarleton State, Lamar State, Texaa
AAI and a new college to lie constructed in San
Antonio.
The State Senior College system, ita third group-
ing, would include Midwestern, Pan American,
F.ast Texas, Sam Houston, Southwest Texas, West
Texas State, Stephen F Austin, Sul Ross and
Angelo State
The staff of the Texas Legisla-
tive Budget Board submitted a plan
in which the schools would be
aligned in four systems, with the
University of Texas, Texas AAM.
Houston and Texas Tech heading
the groups. This is the plan out-
lined in the bill introduced Wednes-
day by Sens. Hardeman and Blan-
chard.
In response to this plan, but
liefore Gov, Connally had outlined
hiB, three members of the NTSU
Board of Regents were quoted in
the Denton Rerord-Chronicle as
I being opposed to the budget board
staff's recommendations,
Ben H. Wooten of Dallas, the
board's chairman, said, "I am one
hundred per cent opposed to the
plan. The record growth and pro-
gress made by North Texas in en-
rollment, plant facilities and teach-
er excellence came after the school
was taken out from under the
teachers' college board (in 19481."
Regent S. A Kerr of Huntsvilie
said, "I am unalterably opposed to
i it. North Texas, as it is, is one of
the fastest growing universities in
i the country."
Carroll Sullivant of Gainesville
added, "The schools (NTSU and
TWU) are entirely different. One
board would not be capable of
handling them."
University of Houston President
Philip G. Hoffman objected to his
school's inclusion in any system
He said UH's recent development
i is intimately connected to its own
board of regents
"We believe excessive centraliza
j tion can result from the develop-
ment of (such) systems," Hoff-
man continued
In addition to the realignment of
the schools, (iov, Connally proposed
raising teachers' salaries to a level
10 per cent above the national
average, giving himseif the power
to appoint an out-of-state resident
to each college governing board
and the establishment of a $50
million student |.>ar fund
Debate on the various bills is
expected to lie extensive, and more
measures may be proposed liefore
the legislature's adjournment
State Rep Alonzo Jamison of
Denton said. "Some reorganization
of the higher education system is
likely to result.
This is going to lie a critical
session for higher education," he
added. "We're going to make a lot
of decisions this time "
