Passaee of X the bill would be meaningful to Oregon col leges faced with financial cutbacks if the tax referendum fails, The pri ority given to Ren. Edith rrinkiu Green's bill was news to the staff of Sen. Wayne Morse's subcommittee on education, who said they were going ahead with plans to prepare for floor debate on an other education bill. A spokes man said that when Senate ac tion was completed on that bill, only then would the committee file a report on the higher edu cation bill. Last week, the full Senate La bor and Education committee voted out several education bills among them the higher educa tion and vocational education bills. Morse at that time was quoted as saying it was a "mir acle" that the committee took tile action. His subcommittee had not act ed on Mrs. Green's bill, and the full committee took the unusual action of voting out the bill even though the subcommittee had failed to report the meas ure. Morse s committee staff de nied rumors that he had been deliberately withholding action on Kep. Green s Dill. Differences Narrowed The differences in the House and Senate bills are less dras tic than last year, when the bill foundered over Senate-approved scholarships and House-approved grants to private as well as public colleges. The House calls for across-the-board grants. Last year, Morse's position had been that such grants to private colleges were unconstitutional. He did, however, support categorical grants when the Senate-House conferees compromised their differences. Here is a break-down of the two bills. The House bill calls for spending $1.2 billion f o r three years for classroom con struction ($230 million in matcn ing grants and $120 million in loans) for undergraduate col leges anu about $50 million a year for junior colleges and technical institutes, using no more than one-third federal funds. Mrs. Green added a feature of especial benefit to Oregon calling for $25 million the first year and $60 million tne second and third for cooperative grad uate research centers, such as proposed in the Portland area. This is only in the House bill. All Colleges Eligible The Senate calls for $1.5 bil lion ($900 million in categorical grants and $600 million in loans) nlns ssn million in grants for community colleges. Both pub lic and private colleges would be eligible, however, the grants would be limited to science building, libraries and engineer ing buildings. Both versions forbid money for divinity schools, classrooms for sectarian use or gymnasi ums, ine House union uv-iiuii money could be used for all classrooms, laboratories and laboratories. State Commissions would decide priorities among the schools. Republicans Al Quie of Minn, and Charles Goodell of New York, key men on Mrs. Green s education subcommittee, main tain that the House Republi cans will not accept categorical grants. Republican votes are es sential to carry an education bill, and the House has had good bipartisan support. Cong. Quie thought that the Senate position that across-the-board grants were somehow un constitutional but that categori cal grants were constitutional was "ridiculous". He pointed out that the Senate bill provides money for libraries in which a student could study subjects other than science, and further, "to say that to study hntanv or chemistry was con stitutional, but to study in the ; humanities was not is ridicul- bill shortlv therafter. and yet! with Morse refusing to hold conferences to iron out differ- meetings because of "irrecon- ences in the two bills were post-1 cilable" differences. poned all Spring and Summer,!
