W. E. Blackwell, D-Hermann, and D. R. Osburne, D-Monroe City, calls for five senators and Five House members to investigate the economic impact on smaller farms, the community and the environmental impact.

Plans by Missouri Foods International, call for breeding and raising million hogs on 5,000 to 7,000 acres. Appropriations took up time Wednesday. The Senate approved and returned to the House a $29 million supplemental spending bill for this fiscal year. The bill was amended in the Senate Wednesday to allow Central Missouri State University at Warrensburg to maintain control over the Independence Residence Center at least until July. The vote was 15-14 for keeping the center with Central Missouri State for the time being.

The bill as passed by the House allotted $100,000 for transfer to the University of Missouri starting with summer school. The supplemental spending bill totaled a little over $27 million as passed by the House. The bill will fund emergency expenses for state agencies until July, when new money bills gill go into effect. The amendment to block the transfer of the residence center, sponsored by Sen. A.

Clifford Jones, R-Brentwood, took most ol the time. fee income because you vote against this enrollment drop. amendment you are creating another branch of the University of Jones yelled in his closing remarks. He was supported by Sen. Lem T.

Jones, R-Kansas City, who called the move a by persons wanting a new four year school in Independence. The governor has recommended that University of Missouri-Kansas City take over the residence center, which is operated as a junior college for the lower two grades, with the student fees funding the entire operation. An incomplete program, focusing on continuing education, is operated for the upper two grades. Felling in the House against keeping the center under control of the Warrensburg school is strong, and began when Central Missouri State received an over-appropriation of state funds by counting students that the Commission on Higher Education said should not have been counted. State aid is based on the total enrollment, figured on a credit hour formula.

Other provisions of the supplemental spending bill gives $2 million to the University of Missouri to plan and build an administration building at its St. Louis campus, $1 million to the state Corrections Department and $942,000 to fund the legislature until July. Other provisions of the bill: to Northwest Missouri State University to make up for a loss in student of an from page 1 Wednesday night to watch 30 to 40 streakers in individual appearances. St. Louis University claimed it had the first professional streaker Wednesday afternoon, when a sophomore operating under a $5 contract ran across the quadrangle as a crowd of about 200 students cheered.

Cadets at Kemper Military Academy claimed some kind of streaking record today after 120 of them jogged six blocks in the nude to the downtown section of Boonville and back. Kemper has an enrollment of 126, and students are claiming the record for percentage of participation. As punishment for their streak cadets were routed from bed at 5:30 a.m. today and required to run two miles at the end of their regular physical training drill A state representative, D. R.

Osbourn of Monroe City, said he and many other Missouri legislators are not taking the streaking incidents lightly. He said the lawmakers are concerned about the state taxpayers paying about $3,000 per student each year to fund state universities, and that many legislators are in favor of passing a resolution to encourage school administrators to expel streaking students. The Associated Press today reported that the practitioners of streaking which have slowed down enough to be quoted say they do it for the fun and excitement. Dr. Shelly Duvall, a member of the University of Southern California in Los' Angeles psychology department said would seem streakers are violating a fairly strong set of norms for sure, and that can always be exciting if you get away with it.

As far as I can see William Boldeson, a philosophy professor at the University of Missouri Columbia, said streaking is just a form of the rites of spring and is as old as the Greeks. just innocent Boldeson said. good blizzard and the whole thing will come to an Ixiss ol liquids evaporation us reduced by 89 per cunt Hie system cun save as much as 1 4 million of energy per hour, Henry Block has 17 reasons why you should come to us I for income tax help.
