Battalion Staff
College Station school board
trustees voted Monday night to
raise the 1982-83 tax rate to 90
cents per $100, instead of the
proposed 92 cents per $100.
The board’s budget committee
met Monday afternoon to re
examine the 1982-83 budget to see
if it could be cut to make a lower
tax rate possible.
Committee member John C.
Reagor said: “After a lot of looking
and a considerable amount of
time, we found that there’s not a
lot of fat in the budget.”
The committee decided
$150,000 could be cut from the
restricted reserve building fund,
which would lower the tax rate by

Support for Dr. John O’Mara
f lockris, who headed the hyd-
ogen research team, Center Di-
erector Spencer R. Baen said.
" Bockris is one of many research
^scientists receiving financial sup-
-port from the center, which is in-
Bvolved in 104 energy-related pro-
rh'ects.
■ The center’s staff is small in
border to keep costs low, Baen said,
Hand thus leave more money for
■research. The center has only one
Ifull-time employee ’ and seven
■part-time workers.
■ The center has three purposes:
■ —To help start researchers in
energy-related projects. Bockris
received $27,000 for the hydrogen
project this year from the center.
Baen said average projects receive
$12,000.
—To help sponsor energy-
related courses at the University.
...Out of 300 proposals
that were submitted this
year, only about a third of
them could be funded,
said Spencer R. Baen,
center director.
There are nine such courses.
—To help provide a public ser
vice to low-income families on
energy-related matters. The cen
ter has released 10 fact sheets to
tell families how to conserve ener
gy. The center also publishes and
distributes a circular called “Texas
Energy and Mineral Resources.”
The center’s $1.3 million
budget for research is provided by
the Texas Legislature. Another
$100,000 is provided from the
governor’s office for publication
and distribution of the fact sheets
and circulars.
Projects funded by the center
range from the study of energy
conservation in meat processing to
the economic implications of alter
native energy sources.
To receive funding, a resear
cher must send a proposal to the
center stating the purpose of the
research and its projected cost.
The proposal is then sent to ex
perts in that particular field of re
search for review. Once the prop
osal is approved, the committee
recommends a budget for the pro
ject.
Out of 300 proposals that were
submitted this year, Baen said,
only about a third of them could be
funded.
two cents. Without the $150,000,
the fund will have $600,000 avail
able for unbudgeted expenses for
building repairs or remodeling.
“The school district will spend
to need, not to budget, this year,”
Reagor said. “That way, there
should be enough savings at the
end of the year to put some money
in the fund.”
The 1982-83 tax rate is lower
than last year’s $1.17 cents per
$100, but the reevaluation of
property that was done this year
will mean a tax increase for most
taxpayers. The tax rate originally
proposed was 77 cents per $100.
Monday night the board also
approved an A&M Consolidated
High School band trip to Orlando,
Fla. Band members must raise the
estimated $36,000 for the trip,
which would include a trip to Walt
Disney World and Sea World.
In other action, the board voted
to accept a bid for a new plate
making machine for printing
trades classes. The equipment in
use now is outdated.
The board approved the purch
ase of a Southwood Valley lot for
building trades classes to con
struct a house.
