In California a Melvin D. Field survey finds 59 percent support lowering the voting age to 18 for state and local elections, with Democrats at 65 percent and Republicans at 51 percent. The survey notes the legislature cannot lower the age without voter approval and a June 1972 ballot unlikely.
Governor Reagan declared he is open to compromise on welfare reform and not necessarily making it a political issue. He stressed substantial reform is needed to balance a 6.73 billion budget without a tax increase and said his bills are in final draft and likely to be introduced next week.
UC Irvine officials led by President Charles J. Hitch charged the Reagan administration with stunting the university’s offerings and growth. Hitch testified before Assembly Ways and Means and the Senate budget subcommittees that the 1971-72 spending plan is the worst yet, urging restored funding.
In Sacramento the 18 state colleges urged lawmakers to raise the proposed next year’s budget above Gov Reagan’s 15 million increase. Vice Chancellor Dale Hanner told the Senate Finance Committee the current proposal fails to keep service and quality, recommending 369 million while noting enrollment could nearly double by 1940 and more construction funds will be needed. Reagan countered that university spending should be trimmed first to fund welfare reform.
A state official warned that rising student to faculty ratios and eroding purchasing power threaten quality. Charts show constant-dollar outlays per student declining in Reagan’s budgets, leading to hard admissions and quality decisions as legislative hearings continue Thursday.
