A-4 Anaheim Gazette (Anaheim, Thurs., April 14, 1960) YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK SENATOR JOHN A. MURDY, JR. State Senator Despite the Sputnik-created concern over the quality of our public school system of higher education, it has been difficult for us in the legislature to work out acceptable changes in the machinery. Committee hearings during our recent special session on proposed constitutional amendments, plus the legislative measures on the subject, have amply proved that the job has not been an easy one. This suggested master plan for higher education was worked out after many months of study by a liaison group from the University of California, the state colleges, and the public junior colleges. As a result, the senate approved a constitutional amendment which merely sets up the board of trustees for state colleges with terms limited to eight years. The bill, SB 33, defines higher education and the functions of its main segments — the University, state colleges and junior colleges. It calls for a state coordinating council of 15 members on higher education. In other words, instead of being frozen into the constitution, as originally intended, we merely added the plan to the education code. This would give the legislature a free hand to review the program.

In other words, instead of being frozen into the constitution, as originally intended, we merely added the plan to the education code. This would give the legislature a free hand to review the program from session to session. Many other senators joined me in opposition to putting things into the constitution when it can be accomplished by an act of the legislature. Once the people adopt a constitutional amendment, it takes another vote of the people to make any changes whatsoever. The senate committee on education, of which I am a member, approved the senate bill and stripped the constitutional amendment of all provisions except to authorize the establishment of the board which will have jurisdiction over state colleges. The constitutional amendment was necessary in order to implement SB 33. Under the terms of the bill, all academic and non-academic state college employees, as of June 30, 1961, would be placed under the control of the new board instead of being under the state department of education. The 15 trustees would be given autonomy in appointing academic and administrative personnel, and also in fixing salaries. The new higher education coordination council would have three members each from the University of California, state colleges, private colleges, junior colleges and the public. This compromise plan, in denying constitutional protection to the state colleges and junior colleges, does not give them equal status with the University of California, which traditionally has had much of its autonomy specified in the constitution. Under the plan, also, the University is given the only right to confer a doctorate degree, although it could concur with state colleges which elect a student for the degree.

Under the plan, also, the University is given the only right to confer a doctorate degree, although it could concur with state colleges which elect a student for the degree. As this column gets into print there will undoubtedly be many other measures affecting education passed and sent to the Governor for his signature. Among the major items on our special agenda, education is the topic of the greatest number of measures—more than a third of all bills introduced in both houses. Generally, these measures fell into three main categories: first, those relating to the organization of our state-supported higher education; second, those proposing increases in the number and value of scholarships for gifted students; and third, those relating to an additional state bond issue for school building loans to local districts. There seems no doubt, as of now, that a bond issue in the neighborhood of $350 million will be before you for a vote at the primaries in June. And as of this writing, proposals for additional state aid for junior college districts seem unable to get over some roadblocks. Another senate bill which we have approved would advance $20 million from the general fund for school projects until the bond money becomes available. President Harding signed the joint resolution of Congress declaring peace with Germany and Austria in 1923.
