62nd LEGISLATURE-3rd CALLED SESSION
celilor, Texas A&I University System can continue to serve as president of
Texas A&I University, Kingsville, without having greater responsibilities than
the president of the Texas A&M University System. Therefore, I am vetoing
this item.
Item 9f
This appropriation would allow the State to purchase approximately 35 acres
of land and existing buildings at the University of Corpus Christi. This money
would be used to retire the debts of the University of Corpus Christi.
Throughout the discussions and hearings concerning the feasibility of a State
university at Corpus Christi, an understanding existed that sufficient land for
the new university would be conveyed to the State without charge; and, if the
site of the existing University of Corpus Christi was to be used for the new State
university, it would be conveyed without charge to the State.
In official documents of the Boards of the University of Corpus Christi and
Texas A&I University, it is stated that "the responsibility for retiring the Uni-
versity of Corpus Christi's debts was a community obligation" and also some
amount less than $1,500,000 would be necessary. For these reasons I am veto-
ing this item.
NORTH TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Item 9c
This item was not recommended by me or the Legislative Budget Board; and,
it was only included in the final appropriations bill. No description of the
projects to be undertaken with this appropriation is included in this bill. Be-
cause of the lack of discernible legislative intent and the present capability
of North Texas State University to finance such a program from available sourc-
es, I am vetoing this item.
WEST TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Item Sc
This item was not requested by the University. It was neither recommended
by me, the Legislative Budget Board, nor was it included in the original Senate
Appropriations Bill. This expenditure would result in the need for future
State appropriations for programs which have not been given thorough legis-
lative or budgetary review. For these reasons I am vetoing this item.
ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY
Item 7d
This item was not recommended by me or by the Legislative Budget Board.
The continued proliferation of graduate programs at every institution of higher
education represents a serious state educational concern. Angelo State Uni-
versity is currently conducting graduate programs from available resources with-
out the aid of a special line item appropriation. In my opinion, this university
can continue these programs within available appropriations. For these reasons
I am vetoing this item.300
