Dr. Edgar spoke directly to the
area school superintendents pre-
sent as he said educators face a
two-fold job: 1. To develop a citi-
zenship which will fit America's
rapid technological advancement,
and yet preserve the fundamental
principles of freedom and liberty
which our country has always
stood for; and, 2. To make our
schools serve as arsenals of our
American way of life.
Dr. Edgar said it is the avowed
purpose of Russia to beat Ameri-
ca not on the battleground but in
the classrooms. He said a group

on proposals that intramural ath-
letics and medical treatment be
made self-supporting.
Most of the presidents of the 18
state-supported colleges and uni-
versities asked the Texas Com-
mission on Higher Education to
further study recommendations
that the use of tax monies in these
fields be eliminated.
"We feel the health program is
a vital part of higher learning in
keeping absenteeism at a mini-
mum." Vice President Earl Rud-
der of Texas A4M said.
Other presidents echoed the de-
lay request, predicting higher stu-
dent charges if no money was ap-
propriated for the programs.
The commission indicated it will
recommend a seven-million-dollar
reduction annually from the col-
leges' requests. This would leave
the total budgets at about 87 mil-
lion dollars a year for 1960 and
1961. It is a 10 million dollar a
year increase over present expen-
ditures and a 41 per cent increase
on tax monies from the General
Revenue Fund
In other action, the commission':
1. Indicated it may ask the Leg-
islature to eliminate the Cotton
Research Committee because of
possible duplication of work
2. Heard Dr. Wildenthal com-
plain the commission was “plac-
ing a monopoly of the extension
services with Texas and A&M."
3 Heard Texas Tech ask for
reconsideration of its request for
monies to improve its science and
engineering instruction.
4 Heard Dr. Melvin Casberg,
vice president of the University
of Texas medical branch, ask no
recommendations be made on the
school's requests He said it was
difficult to apply a five per cent
increase across the board and too
complex to explain to the com-
mission.
