Page 4/The Battalion/Thursday, November 10, 1983 Education authority president presents report at city meeting by Steve Thomas Battalion Staff The president of the South east Texas Higher Education Authority will present his annual report at the College Sta- tion City Council meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. Col. Robert M. Logan, presi dent of the authority, said in an interview Wednesday the pur pose of his corporation is to buy student loans from Brazos County banks and savings and loan associations. This allows the local financial institutions to turn over their loans more quickly so they can make more MSC Print n' Copy “/Arm Hie room 221D-MSC loans. The authority was originally funded by a $25 million revenue bond issue in late 1982. The bond issue was underwritten by Rasher-Pierce of New York, and the bonds were given Standard & Poor’s highest rating — AAA. “That’s because they believe the Aggie students will pay back their loans,” Logan said. College Station and Bryan are not responsible for the bonds nor can the taxpayers incur any debt from the authority’s busi ness transactions, but the au thority is directly responsible to the cities for its operations. Since the authority began buying loans in late 1982, it has purchased more than 900 loans that total in excess of $2.9 mil lion. Logan said these totals are below their original estimates for this time period and that the program may expand to other counties in the future. The council also will consider the annexation of 166 acres lo cated near Family Tree subdivi sion, and hold a public hearing on the rezoning of two tracts of land totalling 96 acres located near the Courtland subdivision.

Jackson supporter( separi to hold conferena 1 by Bob Caster Battalion Staff Hispanics for Jackson, a loc al committee supportingjesse Jackson for the democratic presidential nomination, will hold its first press conference today. The conference will be at 2:30 in the offices of Garza and Associates at 402 Main St. in downtown Bryan. Duke Bonilla, public rela tions director for the national League of United Latin American Citizens, said the local committee is the first in a number of such committees to be formed statewide and across the nation. Other Texas cities being targeted for the committees are Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, Dallas, El Paso and McAllen, he said. Bonilla, the only Hispanic speaker to endorse Jackson when he announced his candi dacy in Washington D.C., said areas of primary concern for the committee are increasing voter registration among younger Hispanics and rais ing funds to provide more working capital. “Jackson’s candidacy is attractive to many Hispanics,” Bonilla said, “because he has adopted some of their major concerns and has promised to include Hispanic leaders in the policy-making levels of his campaign. Bonilla’s father, former LULAC president Tony Bonilla Sr., is working with Preston Love, Jackson’s cam- iur tutl paign manager, to c the Hispanics forj, movement on the: level.

BAG presents progran on impact of racism MSC Black Awareness Com mittee will present Dr. Charles H. King, Director of the Urban Crisis Center of Atlanta, Ga., at 6:30 tonight in Rudder Theatre. King will speak on the impact of racism. The format of King’s shows are unusal because they require a panel of 25 people, Deidra Tidwell, program coordinator, says. The panel will be com posed of faculty, staff members, students and leaders from the community. Tidwell said King uses the panel to present the topic of rac ism on a more personal level. With a panel, the program proves to be more enlig. . tening as it acts as a senitivity training seminar for both the audience and panel, she said.
