College Board Cuts Tuition And Tax Levy
Amarillo College lowers tuition from 37 to 30 per semester and reduces the local tax levy by about 11 000. The move, aided by a state junior college appropriation signed by Gov. O Daniel, raises faculty salaries about 10 percent and frees state funds to retire the bond issue over two years. Local taxpayers gain less burden as state money supports the college bond payoff.
