If the budget is cut, the im-
aediate impact will be on the re-
yl wch, education and advisory
ispects of the program at Texas
McM,” said Lauriston King, de-
i puty director of the Texas A&M
Grant Program. “The re
search will be the area hardest hit.
And without the research base,
the entire program will probably'
end.”
TheU.S. Congress established
the Sea Grant Program in 1966 to
provide the research, education
advisory service needed to
use and develop the nation’s
marine resources. Texas A&M be
gan its Sea Grant Program in 1971,

Funding is primarily federal
and state, with a small amount
from local and private donations.
In 1980-81 Texas A&M received a
total of $3.1 million. Of this, $1.8
million came from federal funds
and $1.3 million from the state.
The 1981-82 proposed budget
calls for $2.4 million in federal
funds and $1.7 million from the
state, a total of $4.1 million. This is
a 35.1 percent increase over the
current budget.
The 1982-83 proposed budget
calls for $2.6 million in federal
funds and $1.9 from the state, a
6.9 percent increase over the
1981-82 budget.
The budgets were proposed
with the understanding that feder
al support would continue.
“We were counting on the fed
eral funds, but if they’re not there
then we’H have to find the money
somewhere else,” King said.

Sign-up ends today
for CS arts festival
By TERRI ZAWACKI
Battalion Reporter
Today is the last day applica-
ms will be accepted to partici-
ite in the third annual Spring
$rts Festival to be held April 25.
A variety of arts and crafts, in-
Wing painting, pottery, wood-
raft and jewelry, will be exhi-
lited and for sale at the festival
sponsored by the College Station
Parks and Recreation Depart
ment.
Food, entertainment and some
bionstrations are also planned
or the day.
The festival will be held in Oaks
rk at Highway 30 and Stallings
Drive and will be free to the
public.
“All exhibits are professionally
judged prior to the festival to in
sure a high-quality show,” said
Marcy Rodgers, recreation super
intendent. Andy Bally and Jeane
kauke from Texas A&M Univer-
s MSC Craft Shop will judge
•he exhibits.
Applications for exhibiting work
"'ere due on March 25, but Rod-
a few late forms will be
accepted through today.
Those applicants chosen to par
ticipate in the festival will be noti
fied next week. Participants are
required to pay a $20 booth fee.
„ rs said the average num
ber of participants in the previous
two festivals was 20, but she said
expects more exhibits this
year because of a more extensive
advertising campaign for the fes-
foods expected to be sold. Soft
drinks will also be available.
Musical entertainment will be
provided by the King’s English
String Band and Carter’s Creek
Bluegrass. Various dances will
also be performed by a local dance
studio.

making any plans for immediate
changes, King said.
“Since we don’t know exactly
what the outcome will be, there
isn’t any way for us to plan alterna
tive strategies,” he said. “We
won’t make any changes until a
decision is reached.”
The Sea Grant Association con
sists of 16 Sea Grant universities
and has lobbyists in Washington
who are working to save the prog
ram. Feenan Jennings, director of
the Texas A&M program and pres
ident-elect of the SGA, was re
cently lobbying in Washington.
The Sea Grant Program is just
getting off the ground. King said,
and it’s disappointing to think it
may be cut out.
“It usually takes at least 15 to 20
years for a program to begin show
ing results,” King said. “Our re
search is starting to have sound
results and the initial investments
are paying off.
“Just think where everyone
here would be if Texas A&M had
been shut down 10 years after it
was founded.”

Schedule your next French class
in France.
It’s a lot easier than you think. As you’ll discover in the next issue of Insider — the free
supplement to your college newspaper from Ford. And it makes a lot of sense. If you’re
going to learn French, why not learn it from the experts.
Insider will include everything you need to know to do just that. We’ll tell you how
to get there, what it costs, how to plan, differences between American-affiliated
universities and foreign learning institutions, an outline of language requirements
and, most importantly, how to find a job.
So if you’ve been thinking about taking a semester or two
abroad, stop thinking. And next time registration comes
around, schedule your French class where you’ll learn the
most... in France.
