A Texas Senate House joint conference committee weighs riders to the state budget, aiming to restore 400000 dollars to Tech's medical school while blocking funds for a planned veterinary college. Supporters cite veterinary licensing lobby concerns and competition with Texas A&M, which backs a nine million dollar expansion of its own program. The outcome hinges on late week deliberations.
