Show Vicious Circle Certain California legislative analysts seem to have taken full advantage of federal aid to education. The minute President Johnson promised $20 million to California colleges and universities during 1965, and proposed to help college students find employment for needed college funds, Sacramento was ready to leap. That is, Sacramento was ready to use the capital "fat-trimmers." "fat-trimmers." Legislative Analyst Alan Post has taken his carving carv-ing knife to Governor Edmund G. Brown's $4 million "bare bones" budget and has indicated enough fat could be cut to avoid a tax increase. That's fine, but what he calls trimming fat is a ?1.2 million slash at the state college level and $803,837 in the University of California system. Post said that the colleges and universities can make much more than the figure by charging $100 tuition per student. These institutions are tuition-free right now. He estimates that this tuition charge would net the university $6.4 million and the colleges $13.1 million. So the vicious circle ends the student with financial finan-cial worries may be aided in finding a job in the next few years under the Johnson proposal, but in the meantime he would be hit with an additional yearly investment in-vestment in his education of $200.
