Plans Approved
By State Board

Higher Jvducation’s building
committee.
In other action taken by the
board, it was learned that an ob
stacle was in the way of the
planned construction of the new
state dental school in Portland.
The board had planned to use
the $2,200,000 appropriated by the
legislature for construction of the
building and use the proceeds from
the sale of the present building for
equipment.
However, the board's building
committee found out that the legis

from the sale would be deducted
from the new school's operating
budget. The problem will be sub
• mitted to the state emergency
