THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Smith.
DELEGATE M. SMITH: I think I
should report, Mr. Chairman, that I saw
Delegate Malkus at about 1:30 P.M. and he
said he was heading home then.
(Laughter.)
THE CHAIRMAN : May I have your at-
tention, please? I hesitate very much to lose
the momentum of moving ahead with the
consideration of this Report if we can get
out of the way a number of these amend-
ments. I do not believe that there would
likely come up within the next hour and
a half any crucial amendments on this
article. I would like to inquire whether any
of the fifteen or so delegates who still in-
tend to go home this evening would object
if they were discussed and the Committee
of the Whole continued its deliberations on
this section until 6:00 P.M.?
Delegate Churchill Murray.
DELEGATE E. C. MURRAY: I think-
that would be wonderful.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate White.
DELEGATE WHITE: Mr. Chairman,
you have no objection to those of us re-
maining who do not want to go til you
finish the work of this session?
THE CHAIRMAN: No, indeed, I do not.
DELEGATE WHITE: What time do
you hope to adjourn?
THE CHAIRMAN: I would adjourn in
any event by about 6:00 P.M. or 6:15 P.M.
The Chair did not see any indication
that the delegates who want to return to
their homes would object to a continuation.
Therefore, we will continue discussion on
these amendments at this time. Any dele-
gates who would return to their home this
evening and feel they should do so now or
at any time later may be excused.
Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: I want to an-
nounce that there is a possibility that the
attorney general amendment may come up,
but this amendment was worked out with
our Committee with the representatives
from our Committee who originally filed a
minority report. It is recommended unani-
mously by our Committee, it has the ap-
proval of the attorney general and as far
as I know, there is no controversy whatever
about it at the present time.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well.
|
Go ahead then and make as much prog-
ress as you can.
Delegate Maurer, do you desire now to
offer your Amendment No. 18?
DELEGATE MAURER: I desire to
withdraw Amendment Nos. 18, 19 and 20.
THE CHAIRMAN: Amendment Nos. 18,
19 and 20 will be cancelled, considered as
not having been offered. Just destroy them.
For what purpose does Delegate Case
rise?
DELEGATE CASE: Mr. Chairman, be-
fore we leave this subject, I have some ad-
ditional questions I want to ask of the
Chairman of the Committee.
THE CHAIRMAN: Very well, Delegate .
Morgan, do you yield to the question?
DELEGATE MORGAN: I yield.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case.
DELEGATE CASE: Delegate Morgan,
during the discussion on the last amend-
ment, which was quite long and somewhat
confusing to me, I think I heard you say,
perhaps I heard some others say, that the
University of Maryland and the system of
state colleges, might, indeed, be classified
as a principal department under section
4.20. Am I correct in that, sir?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: You are cor-
rect, Delegate Case. It is possible.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case.
DELEGATE CASE: And it would fol-
low from that, of course, that the Univer-
sity of Maryland and the system of state
colleges would be a principal department
under section 4.19 which gives the governor
very broad powers of organization and re-
organization. Is that not also true?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Morgan.
DELEGATE MORGAN: That is correct.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Case.
DELEGATE CASE: In drafting section
4.19, Delegate Morgan, did your Committee
intend to vest in the governor the power to
alter or change the policies of the Board of
Regents of the University for the Board of
Trustees of state colleges with respect to
the general supervision of these institu-
tions or their academic affairs in these
matters?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Morgan.
