Priority Given Science-Nursing Priority By State Board
The State Board of Education placed top priority on a 1.04 million science nursing building for Lewis Clarke State College as permanent building fund construction for next year. It also gave third phase priority to a 500,000 state library project, with Boise State University a 3.35 million science education building and a 1.5 million water supply project at the University of Idaho as later items. The board approved funds for college and university research programs based on need and contributions, noting difficulty in valuing research by dollars alone. Additionally the board approved uniform personnel benefits and a 100,000 expansion for summer school resources at BSU and Lewis Clarke, while BSU officials argued for higher funding to reflect instruction levels.
