Texas Legislature urged to stop expanding four year colleges
Dr. Ralph Green of the Texas Commission on Higher Education told a House committee that 20 state colleges suffice and urged halting new campus creation. Legislators have added four schools recently, including the University of Houston, which joins the system this fall. The move will raise the state higher education bill as UH grows to challenge the University of Texas in size. Texas reservoirs start summer 76 percent full after May rains failed to meet demand, shrinking supplies by 291000 acre feet. June opens with 76 percent capacity, down from 83 percent a year ago.
