Rep Curtis of Tarrant says the state saved 400000 on the University budget. He notes the Finance Committee proposed 2700000 for the University for two years while the House budget is 2300000. The A and M College saw a 12820 increase over the committee’s plan despite a 105000 salary cut. An amended方案 by Rountree, withdrawn, would remove about 75000 from salaries. Some supporters of the Beasley salary cuts have offered raises in salaries.
