Students who want to apply for fi
nancial aid for the spring semester
§hould start thinking about it soon.
Sept. 15 is the deadline to apply for
grants, loans or the work-study pro
gram, Taft E. Benson, director of
student financial aid, said.
Grants vary with the student’s fi
nancial status. Applicants must have
a 2.0 grade-point ratio and show fi
nancial need.
Benson says the Pell Grant is an
example of aid. It is the largest grant
available, up to $1900. It does not
restrict income from other sources,
such as grants or jobs.
Student loans provide help at a
lower interest rate than available
otherwise. They vary from long
term loans to be paid back in 10
years, to short-term loans of only six
months.
In the work-study program, stu
dents earn at least minimum wage
and may work up to 20 hours a week
depending upon class schedule and
GPR.
Students who want scholarships
for the 1985-86 school year should
apply to the financial aid office by
Feb. 15. Benson says the early dead
line allows more time for the appli
cations to be processed and
awarded. Scholarships are based
upon academic achievement as well
as need, Benson said.
More than 800 scholarships total
ing $983,400 were awarded for the
fall semester.
The amounts average $500 to
$600, which Benson says is inade
quate. He is hoping to increase the
average to $ 1000.
The financial aid office awards as
many scholarships and student loans
as possible, Benson says. They are
meant to make up the differnce be
tween what their family can afford
and the cost of attending Texas
A&M.
The University estimates a full
time resident with a 15-hour course
load per semester can expect to
spend $5,340 a year.

Parents go before jury
United Press International
HOUSTON — Parents of a teen
ager charged in the shooting death
of a female mail carrier followed a
judge’s order Monday and appeared
before a grand jury, but attorneys
refused to say whether they testified.
Bernard and Odette Port had
sought a motion to quash subpoenas
seeking their testimony in the inves
tigation of murder charges against
their 17-year-old son, David.
David Port is charged in the June
7 shooting death of mail carrier De
bora Sue Schatz, 23.
Judge William Hatten Monday or
dered the couple to apear before the
panel, saying he could find no state
law which granted a parent-child
privilege like that of husband-wife
privilege, in which spouses cannot
testify against each other.
“The court has no right to legis
late,” Hatten said. “I feel very
strongly that it (parent-child priv
ilege) should be law but I find it isn’t
the law. That privilege must come
from the legislature.”
Hatten also said he could find no
religious grounds preventing the
Ports from testifying. The Ports had
claimed Jewish law prevents one rel
ative from testifying against another.
The Ports appeared before the
grand jury for more than an hour
Monday, but defense attorney
Randy Schaffer and prosecutor Jim
Lavine refused to say whether they
testified.
Both of the elder Ports earlier had
said they would not testify, even it it
meant going to jail.
Lavine said the Hatten ordered
the Ports to return to court at 9 a.m.
Tuesday for a hearing. The prosecu
tor had said earlier that if the Ports
refused to testify, a hearing would
be held to determine if they should
be held in contempt of court.
“I have been taught that family is
one of the most important is»
I’m a father and I’ve worked so
to be a father, I just couldn’t doi
(testify against his son)," Port said.
“What are they going todo?S!iw
me? Jail me? We feel the privileged
husband and wife was great, kit
isn’t the child in turn?”
Three different times in the heat
ing. Port refused to answer Lavinti
questions, claiming parenl-di
privilege.
Police found bullet holes,
stains and a package of undeliverti
mail in a search of the Port afterlkt
couple told police their son had been
missing since June 7 — the dai
Schatz disappeared.
Authorities have publidy quts
lioned why the Ports did not repon
the blood stains in their homeorthl
their son was missing until policed!*
covered the evidence.
The teenager was arrested as ki
returned home.

Supreme Court rules states can't stop liquor commercials
United Press International
WASHINGTON — States cannot
censor cable television programming
to eliminate liquor commercials, the
Supreme Court ruled unanimously
Monday, defeating Oklahoma’s ef
fort to deter citizens from drinking
the products.
In their first ruling on the content
of cable television programming, the
justices did not address the broad
casters’ First Amendment free
speech rights, but confined the deci
sion to what federal law requires.
The 9-0 decision said that Oklaho
ma’s interest in shielding citizens
from liquor and wine ads does not
outweigh the cable operators’ duty
under federal law to transmit un
edited TV programming.
Oklahoma claimed its ban, the vi
olation of which carried criminal pe
nalties, was necessary to “prevent ar
tificial stimulation” of alcohol
consumption in the state.
There are an estimated 32 million
cable television viewers in the coun
try. Cable operators say it is impossi
ble to delete the commercials be
cause signals from out of state are
rebroadcast so quickly.
Noting that the state allowed
other forms of liquor ads, Justice
William Brennan said Oklahoma’s
interest in restricting its citizens’ ex
posure to alcohol was “modest.” He
observed that it is lawful to sell and
consume liquor in the state, although
advertising it is sanctioned only at
retail stores.
Brennan said Oklahoma had used
a “selective approach” to tackle alco
hol advertising. It is lawful to have li
quor ads in newspapers and mag
azines printed outside the state.
“The ban at issue in this case is di
rected only at wine commercials that
occasionally appear on out-of-state
signals carried by cable operators
Broadcast and newspaper grot
had warned that such banscouldrt
duce the number of programsawi
able, and drain support from call
stations.
The Federal Communicatiot
Commission supported cable group
in arguing Oklahoma’s ban is uncot
stilutional regulation of cable pi*
gram content.
Brennan wrote that in the past!
years “the FCC has unambiguous'
expressed its intent to pre-empt
state or local regulation.”
