After making several amendments to the finance committee’s original proposal, Texas A&M University’s student senate passed the 1978-79 student government budget Wed nesday. Of primary concern to the senators was the restoration of funds to Aggie Muster and Parents’ Day programs. Student Body President Bobby Tucker vetoed the budget last week because he felt that not enough money was allocated to the two prog rams. The senate accepted the finance committee’s amended budget re commendation which restored $400 to Muster and $154 to Parents’ Day. The Muster allocation was raised from $1,100 to $1,500, and Parents’ Day funds were raised from $670 to $824. In order to make up the $554 dif ference, three areas were decreased in the budget.

Another concern voiced by Tucker in hs veto message last week was that too much money was being spent on two student government convention trips, for the American Studetn Fed eration and the Texas Student As sociation convertions. Tucker said the money could spent on projects more beneficial to students. Senators adopted a budget amendment that cut a total of $200 from funds allocated for students trips to the national and state meet ings. The money was transferred to the student government telephone account. Joe Beall, vice president for exter nal affairs, asked the senate not to cut the funds, explaining that the finance committee had given more money than he had asked for because he had been underestimating his expenses to help with the tight budget. Senator Ed Ramos countered that the funds could be put to better use elsewhere in the budget. Senator Paul Bettencourt pointed out that the senate was appropriating more money for travel than for stu dent servics nd asked the senate to support the budget cuts. Also attached to the budget was a rider requiring external affairs members to submit evaluations of their trips to meetings and conven tions within 10 days of their return. The rider also gave senate the power to approve all con, attendees.

As former Marine recruiter Donald Robinette told a Senate committee Tuesday, the odd names were part of a gimmick used by re cruiters to insure that people wish ing to join the Marines would not be rejected because of a police record. When the police were sent names to be checked for police records, the first letter of an applicant’s surname, written in capital letters, was omit ted. For instance, Robinette^cited the case of a man named Lind, who “had a police record as long as my leg.

Once the document got back to the Marine Corps recruiting station, “Ind” became Lind, "Mith became Smith and “Ones”became Jones.

R ANIMAL OFF CAMPUS STUDENTS filing for representatives to the LOS ANGELES — Federal immigration officers have stopped! specting factories and other workplaces that employ large numbeni illegal aliens, cutting the number of aliens apprehended byaboutl percent. Immigration officers have had to abandon the searches because! pending lawsuit and the policies of Leonel Castillo, appointed missioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service by Pres Carter, said Omer Sewell, acting director of the INS Los Anget office. The elimination of factory searches — the most effective remain method to catch illegal aliens after they get beyond the U.S. bor — is nationwide, Sewell said Monday. Before the change, INS officers apprehended about 4,000 i aliens a month in factories and shops suspected of hiring large hers of illegal aliens. Last month, the total fell to 1,400 and is continuing to drop, Sew said. Some 579 aliens were returned to Mexico last month, comj to 2,156 in the same month last year. Estimates of the number of aliens crossing the border from Mev illegally run to 5,000 or more a day. More than a million wereapj prehended and returned last year. The number in the United States has been estimated at 8 million] 12 million, with an estimated 1 million to 2 million in the Los Angelj area. An estimated 90 percent of illegal aliens are Mexicans. Since Castillo became head of the agency, “our priorities arc on service to those who bring problems to the INS, Sewell said I That means, for example, that if a person living here witbapenj ing application for admission has to be investigated because ofsoi minor violation of law, that case takes precedence over our efforts: locate hundreds of workers with no legal right to be here at all. With staff cutbacks and changed priorities, “we expect to field OEJ about 20 officers for the entire Los Angeles, Orange County areil assistant regional IRS director, Philip Smith. il: it NEW fin, who luisian lays if fiance! wme, i J.S.

Under Castillo, the INS has stopped seeking court warrantsi| search plants when owners refuse to allow inspectors to enter, tb said, while a court battle is resolved. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union has acourtc pending against the IRS, seeking a ruling that immigration officerstj required to identify specific illegal aliens they are seeking befo S ran ted search warrants. Thousands of jobs here can now be filled by undocumented "Oil ers without fear of apprehension instead of by the lawful residentsij American citizens,” Sewell said. The factory searches had become a major part of the INS operation Immigration officers were barred by earlier court rulings fromco! tinuing “sweeps” through areas inhabited by large numbers ofMej cans, requiring identification from those who appeared to be aliens^ racial characteristics alone. Sewell is acting chief of the office, which handles more illegal ate] than any other. The previous head of the office, who said he angeff | J astillo by trying to continue apprehending Mexicans, was transfei) red to Hong Kong last month.
