Oklahoma CITY, April "A com
mIttce OF three to determine tho
present Status OF the senate as a TO.
suit OF the actloa OF tho house OF
representatives in adIourning early
Sunday mornlng without dIsposlng
Of the appropriation bills. was nomod
by the senate today.
The committee Is composed OF SEN
ators Davidson, Nichols and w. 7.
Clark. II is reported that the COM
mittec would also endeavor TO find
a way by which the house could re-
convene without being called to-
gether for special session.
So far the governor has not indi.
Gated what course he will pursue to
get the appropriation bills passed.
The effect on the o. G. w. of
the action OF the house OF represen-
tatives In adjourning early Sunday
morning without passing necessary
appropriation bills, will be the same
as on the various other schools In
the state as well as the state de-
partments of government, according
to G w. Austin, president of tho
college hero.
II was in Oklahoma City Satur.
day." said President Austin. Il
wired to Chickasha that the appro-
priation bills Of the o. c. w. had
passed both houses OF the legisla-
ture. This was a fact. The provis-
ions for approprating money for tho
o. c. W., however were made In
bill carrying appropriations for
number of institutions. The
items favoring the o. G. w. found
no opposition in either house, but
this school suffered when the gen.
eral institutional appropriation bill
failed when the house hastily ad-
iourned, instead Of voting re-
cess.
"The institutional bill which car
ried items for the o. G. W was
passed by the house and sent to
the senate for approval. In the
senate 1t was amended making 1t
necessary for committee from
both houses to concur on the
amended bill. My information Is
that these committees met but
failed to reach an agreement. Ihey
returned to their respective houses
TO report with the idea OF making
further efforts to reach an agree
ment.
"The senate then voted a recess
thinking that the house would 40
the same. The house, however,
moved adjournment, packed up their
handling the departmental appTo'
nriation bills and leaving the state
institutions and departments in
condition absolutely unprecedented
"The failure affects the 0 ". w.
| appropriations for maintenance anu
solar;ae The bill carrying appro'
priation for the fine arts puiidlns
nassed Saturday morning. don I
! know whether the speaker OIL lhe
house signed this bill in open ses'
sion. IL he did, that appropriation
is safe. II he did not, the appro'
nriation for the O. G. w. hne arts
building is lost. -
"The whole state is affected inc
university, the A. and M. coiiege'
as we'll as many other schools are
affected the same way and IN aooi'
tion the state departments are ieit
without provisions being MADE lor
expenses.
"There was absolutely no critl-
cism as concerns the 0. G. W. dpr'
ing the entire session. Our schooi
is simply unfortunate along win
the others in that, after passing
both houses, the appropriation bilis
were killed by the hasty and un
warranted action of the house,
