from immature demonstrations. anc
to take only constructive action with
respect to budget cuts for higher
education.

Array Godston. Godston and student
Vice President David Gibson also
spoke at the assembly.
The huge crowd included many
married students and their wives.
One couple sat in the front row with
few months old baby quietly feed
ing ON a bottle.
Godston advised students to report
the facts and implications of the pro-
posed budget cut to parents and
friends, and said that precipitate ac-
ton should not be taken except as
last resort. Godston pointed out
the effects of the budget cut on MISC
educational standards and scientific
research.
DIR. Renne told the students that
and particularly the sub
committee on university appropria-
tions. are well-informed people who
are taking a serious look at the prob
lem. He added that the Governor is
expected to call conferences with
University administrators to discuss
the problems that have been raised.

because students are gravely con-
cerned about the situation and want
to know all the facts concerning the
budget for the University system. He

From Immature Demonstrations

also do good job in research and
extension
The proposed budget for the 1861
62 biennium that soon will come be-
fore the legislature would give the
University System about 81 million
less to operate on than it has for the
current biennium, or $13 million less
than asked by the Board of Educa-
ton.
Montana State College would sur
appropriated about $12 for the cur
rent biennium and would be cut to
SO million.
President Renne pointed out that
the proposed budget would require
about 43 full-time teachers to be re-
leased by the college. He said the
distressing thing about the cutback
would be that many top-quality ia
Guilty would resign of their own ac-
cord. Also, it would be difficult to
replace them with high calibre per-
sonnet, he commented.
Un1er the proposed budget, both
the experiment station and extern
sion service face drastic cuts. The
budget cuts the experiment station
SO per cent and the extension serv-
ice 43 per cent.
Discussing the experiment station,
DR.. Renne said only the legislature
can terminate or close one of the
seven branch stations. "But it would
seem logical to preserve the main
core of research staff at the head
quarters at Bozeman.'
DIR. Renne concluded by saying
that if a cut is necessary, the college
will make adjustments. mo matter
how difficult it may be, we'll make
he said. "We'd like
TO think that we can at least remain
at the present lvel, and not go back
wards"
Godston, senior in chemistry, said
he proposed cut would mean 80 per
cent less money to buy laboratory
equipment. Also, he warned fellow
Students that their degrees won't
larry as much weight if MISC should
descend to a second or third rate edu-
,ational institution.

Fireeraeker Bill ExpIodes,
Campaign Proposals Die

The bill to outlaw firecrackers was
killed, then buried when Legislators
voted against the bill that evoked
some of the most eloquent patriotic
oratory to date on the floor of the
House.
After the bill died, Donald Lucas
-Missoula) moved to strike the
enacting clause and Tom Haines (R-
Missoula) made a substitute motion
to clay on the table,. To bring it
back to life would take two-thirds
vote of the House.
Proponents of allowing Montana
kids to fire at least an inoffensive
form of noisemaker on the 18th of
July said taking firecrackers out of
the 18th would be like taking the
Christmas tree out of Christmas.
Those in favor of outlawing every
thing in the firecracker line pointed
out this form of commemoration
wasn't really so very American after
all-the Chinese had fired crackers
at their New Years celebrations for
1000 years.

Proponents of this bill felt it would
keep nominations more strictly
party matter than at present.
The bill would have required a
complete re-registration of Montana
voters.
Tom Haines (R-Missoula) spoke
in favor of the bill and said Republi-
cans opposed it because they "do not
understand and haven't given thought
and study to it (. it would help Re-
publicans because they are minority
party.
He added, under the present pri-
mary system eve get buns who
file and get elected.
Ray Loman (R-Lake) opposed the
bill saying cit would disenfranchise
a lot of Montanans because of the
fact people resist the registration

Raymond Gustafson (D-Pondera)
the bill because sit allows
groups to control the party
