Printing Expenses From College Bond Sum Ruled Invalid
The Texas Attorney General ruled the Teacher Colleges Board of Regents cannot use college building bond revenues to buy printing equipment for Dealey Hall at East Texas State Teachers College Commerce.

The board may use revenues to site preparation for future construction, and conversion of an old building could count as construction if extensive enough, at the board’s discretion.
