Study Commission Proposed on Higher Education in Arkansas
The Arkansas House debated creating a Study Commission on Higher Education as an alternative to an overall board. Rep. Lonnie Etheridge and supporters argued the commission would guard against invalidation of existing college boards and potential constitutional issues. Rep. Van Dalsem fought to block the measure with an amendment, then filibustered until procedural rules required printing and desk availability. Etheridge planned to reintroduce the proposal Thursday without suspending rules.

Court Bill Gets Okay in House Moves to keep Pulaski divisions separate
Arkansas lawmakers approved a bill to maintain three separate Pulaski Circuit Court divisions with juries treated as interchangeable. Gov Paulius urged the measure after a federal appeals ruling on a Negro rapist’s sentence. Luther Bailey, convicted of rape in 1956, was noted as the defendant cited in the case. The issue, now before the U.S. Supreme Court, concerns jury composition across divisions.
