 committee was instructed to confer with Governor Kilby, and the associa- ton pledged it's unqualified support to his efforts to secure reasonable appro- priations for Alabama's educational in- stitutions. The failure of the plan to loan worthy students sufficient funds to complete college courses was noted and after general discussion the entire matter was referred to a special com nittee, consisting of Gaston Grie of Montgomery W, B.
