WASHINGTON - The $1.2
billion higher education con
struction bill which passed the
House in August, is expected to
be brought to the Senate for a
vote within the next week, ac
cording to authoritative sourc
es. 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-
