President James A. McCain of Montana State University at Mis and dollars were sliced off recom mendations proposed by the Board of Education and Chancellor Geo. A. 'Selke, blasted the board's action as a violation of the "principles of non-partisan administration and control so indispensable to freedom and integrity of higher education." In Bozeman, Montana State Col lege president, R. R. Renne, whose institution also saw an appreciable: cut in allocation in order to pigeon hole more than twice the money recommended for the Havre school, says; "This is a very serious blow to Montana's standing in higher education."
