Day students get their news from the Batt.
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. The senate awards

$3.00 per print, $7.00 for any 3
program was reduced by 48 percent,
senate meeting packet allocation was
reduced by 19 percent, and 19 per
cent was taken from the Students’
Legal Rights conference trip 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.

Marine recruiting studied by Senate
Illegal tactics called ‘common
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Cleveland
police might have been forgiven for
wondering where the Marine Corps
was finding so many recruits with
unusual names like “Mith" and
“Ones.”
In any event, they apparently
never asked.
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.

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

This means when we get a report of a company using 300 or t
workers, who have no legal right to he working here, we can!
longer put the 10 or 15 officers we need around the outside oH'^
plant while another 10 or 15 go in to check papers," Smith said.
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^

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)
