chian State Teachers College
called for a state bond issue
for college facilities as they
asked the legislature’s Joint
Appropriations Committee to
restore $3.8 million to the
school's 1865-67 budget.
Dr.. W. HL Plemrr >rs, presi
dent of Appalachian, told the
comnutto that the college trus
tees recently passed a resolu
tion urging a bond issue for
state-supported colleges if con
struction money cannot be ap
propriated.
The trustee resolution was
passed before Gov, Dan K.
Moore rejected the idea of a
bond issue in his budget mes
sage. |
Chance* Slight
Chances for legislative ap
proval of a bond issue are con
sidered dim without the ear
dorsemcnt of the governor.
The school requested this
year $9.3 million for construc

Measure Passed
On Education
Raleigh —The N. C. House
Education Committee overrode
the objections of the Watauga
County representative and ign
ored a resolution from the bi
partisan Watauga County Board
of Education Wednesday.
The committee junked Rep.
James Holshouser’s choice for
board membership, reduced the
board’s membership from five
to three and gave the Demo
crats a monopoly on it.
The reason: Hotshouser is a
Republican, and Democrats run
the Education Committee.
Holshouser appeared before
the committee as it considered
the omnibus bill under Which j
the vast majority of county
boards of education are ap
pointed in the state.
The omnibus bill, as written,
contained the names of three
Watauga Democrats: Dr. Char
les Davant, H, W. Mast Jr., and
A. E. South.
Holshouser explained that'
since 1963 Watauga had operat
ed with a bipartisan board com
posed of three Democrats and
two Republicans.
. He said he didn't object to a
Democratic majority on the
board. But, he said, the existing
bipartisan hoard had worked in
harmony, and he presented a
resolution by the biwrd urging
its continuation.
srv «: ;• - ..s' ' ... . - i
* Holshouser proposed to am
end the omnibus bill to add
two Republicans, F. D. Bum
gardner and John H. Hollar, to
the board, leaving the Demo
crate In control and retaining
membership at five.

Hep. Mark Bennett o# Yancey
recalled that there was “confu
sion" from the time Watauga
got its bipartisan board two
years ago. ' ■ -■ .,**1;
"lie (Holshouser) knows that
i know, end I know that he
knows that I know," said Ben
net as he made a motion to
kill Holshouser’s amendment
“There’s harmony on the
; board now,'* Holshouser said.
| He added that a new consoli
dated school was being built,
and “we need to keep the status
quo to assure the support of the
new school."
“What's the politico of the
county commissioners in Wata
uge?” asked Bennett.
“All three are Republicans,”
•add Holshouser.
“The Republicans offered to
give Democrats any represen
tation there?" asked Bennett
“That’s an elective situation,"
parried Holshouser,
Rep. Hugh Johnson of Duplin

amendment were defeated, Wa
