Finally, and I assume this will be up for
|
|
2
|
discussion today; I only this morning had a chance to
|
|
3
|
look at Article 3, Section 52, which I gather has been
|
|

|
pretty much a bulwark of public education. This is the
|
|
5
|
section of the State Constitution which has to do with
|
|

|
the whole business of the funding or support, financial
|
|
7
|
support for public schools.

is only an impression, is that this section of the State

|

DR. PULLEN: Yes, ma'am. I am used to this.

|
THE CHAIRLADY: Dr. Bard is very anxious to
|
|
16
|
ask you a question or make a comment.
|
|
17
|
DR. BARD: I would like to ask a question.
|
|
18
|
Dr. Pullen, since you are now in higher education, I
|
|
19
|
would like to ask you whether you believe that there
|
|
20
|
ought to be a statement dealing with higher education
|
|
21
|
within the Constitution itself? There are a goodly
