Becks, 49, is running for a seat on the school board for District 15. The Daily Sun received his biographical questionnaire Oct. 31, which was too late for publication the same day in the Voter's Election Guide. Becks is the board engineering assistant of the Beatrice Board of Public Works. He was on the staff of the Lincoln State Hospital (Regional Center) for six years.

He is a member of the Centenary United Methodist Church, Kiwanis, Foot Printers, American Legion, and Homestead Gem and Mineral Club. Becks is a native Beatrician. He is single and lives at 614 S. Ninth St. Becks answered the Daily Sun's questions as follows: 1.

Spending the present time I have mixed emotions about a spending lid. Certainly it would be an ideal thing if some type of overall lid could be placed upon all items essential to governmental function so that inflation would not outstrip operational cost. Unfortunately this would require some type of wage price freeze and wage price freezes are extremely unpopular. "Yes, I am certain that school programs would be forced to cut back if a lid bill is voted in. The type of cut back and how much, would have to be weighed carefully." 2.

Basic seriously doubt that any school program could be reduced hurting the overall outcome. I am constantly aware of this in my present job when we receive revised catalogs with regular price increases on essential items." 3.
