State Sen. Harry "Babe" Woodyard, R Chrisman is making a third attempt to eliminate General Assembly scholarships even though he will face tremendous criticism for it.

Mike Weaver, R-Ashmore, dis agrees with Woodyard's bill, saying it would eliminate waivers which are some students' only way of attending a university. "We bend over backwards to reach students who fall through the cracks," Weaver said. "We try to help people with financial difficulties and tough family situations. I have my doubts if the bill passes." What Weaver must realize is hundreds of tuition waivers go to children whose parents have political connections.
