1984 Legislature
Not A Happy Time
By HARRY CULVER
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) —
Oklahoma's 1984 Legislature will
not be known as a happy time for
its 101 House members and 48
senators.
They opened facing a state
financial crisis and record tax in-
crease proposals from Gov.
George Nigh.
They lumbered toward the
closing with a dispute over pro-
posed repeal of the state’s
prevailing wage law and a House
internal wrangle over the return
and seating of former House
Speaker Dan Draper and former
Democratic Leader Joe
Fitzgibbon.
The next confrontation facing
legislators will be this year's
elections when half of the Senate
and all of the House must face
the voters or retire.

turned to the House Wednesday
after U.S. District Judge Frank
Seay reversed their convictions
on grounds they had been con-
victed on the basis of perjured
testimony. A handful of
outspoken House foes insisted
they should be ousted. U.S. At-
torney Gary Richardson in-
dicated he may not retry the
pair.
The Legislature reduced spen-
ding in nearly every area except
corrections, where a booming
prison population was cited for
justifying an increase.
A budget capsule:
— Total operating general fund
budget — Approximately $1,653
billion. This compares with the
reduced spending level of $1,603
billion for the current fiscal year.
It is about $40 million below
estimated general fund revenue
for next year.
Higher Education, common
schools, Human Services, and
vocational-technical education
will all receive amounts next
year above the reduced funding

WON BIG SKY CONFERENCE
BOZEMAN, Mont. (UPI) -
Nevada-Reno’s Jeff Qualle used
victories in the pole vault and
javelin and a third-place finish in
the 1,500 meters to overtake
teammate Tim O’Neill and win
the Big Sky Conference decath-
lon title.
Qualle, the pre-meet favorite,
went 15-feet, 1 inch in the pole
vault, threw 206-11 in the javelin
and ran the 1,500-meters, the
final event of the meet, in 4:40 to
race past O’Neill, who missed the
race with cramps.
