Former Texas Gov. Dolph

Hance, D-Texas, also are con

Observers believe Texas
Democrats are more unified
than in previous years.
For Republicans, a Tower vic
tory or failure could determine
whether Reagan again carries
Texas, whether Republicans will
maintain their five-seat Senate
majority and whether the Re
publican influence in Texas will
grow or diminish during the
1980s.
For Democrats, defeating
Tower would increase the
momentum established in 1982
when the party’s candidates
swept state-wide races. It could
also catapult Sen. Lloyd Bentsen
into the chairmanship of the
Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee. And it would
mean that Democrats would
control every major state office
for the first time since 1960.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION
April 21, 1983
An Open Letter From U.T. Students to A & M Students:
DO YOU KNOW REPRESENTATIVES OF YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT TESTIFIED IN AUSTIN FOR
A TUITION INCREASE?
They Did!
About the only time Aggies and Longhorns get together is on opposite sides of a
football field. We don't mind opposing you on^ the field; but we never thought
we'd be opposing you at the State Legislature on such a fundamental issue as
tuition.
Like nearly every other organized student lobbying group in the state, the
University of Texas' Student Lobby has been working hard to keep our tuition low,
which is especially crucial as the cost of books, living expenses, and student
fees continue to accelerate.
We elicited a public pledge from Gov. Mark White during his campaign to veto any
tuition increase, as part of his commitment to keeping higher education affordable
for all Texans. Moreover, we have talked to literally dozens of state senators
and representatives who feel as we do that a tuition increase will only push higher
education out of the reach of many Texans who can barely afford the cost of their
tuition and fees today.
But despite all this, your Aggie
increase is inevitable, and they
550% in 7 years!!
Legislative Study Group says that a tuition
support a plan which would increase your tuition
If you believe that your tuition does need to be raised, then your representatives
are serving you well. But if like us, believe that an increase in tuition would
only damage Texas' higher education, then your representatives are not representing
your interests. Your Legislative Study Group is telling legislators that Aggies
want to increase their own tuition.
It is not our desire to meddle in A & M's campus politics; nor is it our wish to
fight the Aggies anywhere except on the athletic field. We just thought many of
you would want to join us in this effort to keep education affordable for you and
us and future students in all of our state supported colleges and universities.
Sincerely,
Paul E. Begala
