DR. PULLEN: No, no. I beg your pardon.

2

That is this amendment — that is this provision in the

3

Constitution that does not permit him to do that. That

4

is what we don't want you to change.

5

MRS. FREEDLANDER: But the provision in the

6

Constitution states very succinctly that the General

7

Assembly, and even Article 3 is a legislative article;

0

so that under the existing Constitution, the legislature

9

really has a great deal to say. Article 8 says the

10

General Assembly shall by law — it doesn't say the

11

Governor shall by law.

12

DR. PULLEN: That is, neither the legislature

13

nor the Governor can change the estimate for public

14

education unless they do one thing; unless the legis-

l5

lature changes the law. You see, it is saying that

16

there is no manipulation of the money for the children.

17

Here is where schools suffer, now, unless you have the

18

political power to put it over. They suffer when it

19

conies to physical facilities and colleges and univer-

20

sities and the like. It all depends upon the opinion and

21

attitude of two or three people.
