In 1985, the Governor signed the Excellence in Education Act to . demonstrate this commitment. I If his belief that education produces citizens eager and capable ._ ----_.. - of meeting the challenges of the future, then he should make our system of public education second to none. I This state's record of supporting higher education is not one to ! brag about. I Although the political reality is that everyone who wants fund­ ing must play the give and take game, it is unfortunate that many students' futures are in jeopardy. There can be no doubt that the University of Missouri makes the largest contribution to the higher education system in this NOW APPEARING IN state. THE LEGISLATURE With four individual campuses-four unique missions and constituencies-the UM system directly contributes to the state's economic revitalization. This year, the UM system is requesting an 13 percent increase l'ar1ncr~hips !elf Progress in funding from the state. The Coordinating Board of Higher Education is recommending a 12 percent increase for UM. However, the Governor, the alleged advocate of education him­ * self, is advocating only a six percent increase. Now, it can be argued that throwing money at UM won't make it a better institution. However, this is not the case. Higher education costs big bucks, Missouri. If you want a good education, either get the legislature to fund it or be prepared to pay higher tuition. The St. Louis campus has a number of budget items up for review in Jefferson City. However, the only one the governor-the education advocate­ is recommending is the value added assessment model. .. _--==. :::..:_:=_.= __ =-=.::==..J~l) •8!J He is not thought to be as excited about the Chancellor's "Partnerships for Progress" program as"the legislature is. Campus officials are pushing the program and their strategy is that if they can sell it to the legislature at large, the governor will come around. Hopefully, there will not be a repeat of last years tug of war. . The legislature approved a $6 million capital request for an addi­ tion to the Thomas Jefferson Library. However, the governor­ the advocate of higher education-used his line item veto (wouldn't Reaganjust die?) and only allocated $2 million and said the campus should try to raise private funds for the rest. The campus has raised over $500,000 on its own for the project-not bad for a public institution-and is still seeking more what they were. It seems as if all " , that money were going to waste. private funds. LE'tCt'ERS TO THE EDITOR A large percentage of that money.
