Hiite offered an emergency call ■ursday to have the bill passed into consideration quickly. Bearings on the bill were sche duled to begin today. [After 10 years of working with it (HJR 19),” Presnal said, I'm ready to put it to rest once fevita’ icgins night The award-winning pop ipera “Evita” — based on the igs-to-power life of Eva Peron, ife of former Argentine dicta- [r Juan Peron — will be per- irmed tonight through Wednesday in Rudder Audi- irium.

Prairie View A&M University wants part of that funding, Pre snal said. HJR 19 would provide $6 mil lion a year for 10 years to Prairie View to be taken from the avail able fund of UT, Presnal said. The General Appropriations Bill will not be ready to be placed on the floor for hearings until April, Presnal said. The bill calls for $4.2 billion — $1.5 billion less than was ex pected, Presnal said. The Teacher Retirement Sys tem Fund is vastly overfunded, Presnal said. It must be trimmed on both ends — from the state and the employees — to keep the burden of the cuts from fall ing fully on one, he said. Presnal blames the recession, which only recently has hit Texas, for the reductions in spending. “There are just so many com peting interests for a tax dollar which is steadily decreasing,” he said.
