ERT RIZZO President is blamed for hunger United Press International AUSTIN — A legislative study outlined Tuesday in conjunction with World Food Day indicates the number of hungry Texans has tripled since 1980 and blames the problem on Reagan administration policies. “Hunger is a growing problem in Texas and evidence of its incidence has increased dramatically since the first policies and cutbacks imposed by the Reagan administration in 1981,” Sen. Hugh Parmer, D-Fort Worth, chairman of the Senate In terim Committee on Hunger and Nutrition, said in the Austin leg of a national teleconference to discuss world hunger. “... Many Texans with a legitimate need are being kept off or kicked off federally-funded food assistance programs because of bureaucratic barriers and policy and procedural changes implemented under the Reagan Administration,” Parmer said. He said the demand for emer gency food assistance has grown 300 percent in Texas since 1980 and more than two million Texans now face hunger. Parmer’s committee found three major groups experiencing hunger in Texas: the elderly, the “new poor” and the “traditionally poor.” Parmer said 18 percent of the state’s elderly live below the poverty level while 34 percent indicated they would go hungry without the con gregate or home-delivered meals provided daily by hunger assistance groups. The committee defined “new poor” as those hit by the recession of the early 1980s who have exhausted unemployment benefits and still have no jobs. The “traditional poor,” according to Parmer, are usually women, chil dren and the elderly who often have to skip meals due to a lack of money. He said the three groups would con tinue to strain existing food assis tance resources in Texas. ling TeaEj 109 of ill UF 4870. (continued from page 1) latch, head of the LSG; Univer- iy President Frank E. Vandiver; lancellor Arthur G. Hansen; :puty Chancellor Perry Adkin- n; and Bill Presnal, executive cretary for the Board of Re nts, talked about the proposi- bnand what it means to the Uni- pity. If the proposition does not k the University will lose jout $50 million in revenue mi the Available University md. The AUF is A&M’s pri mary source of building income. A&M would lose the money be cause if the amendment doesn’t pass, the non-PUF schools will probably file a lawsuit. The legal action would stop any use of the PUForthe AUF. Vandiver told the small audi ence that proposition 2 is of “ab solutely supreme importance” to higher education in the state. The administration, along with the LSG and officials from other colleges, has started a promotion campaign on the importance of passing the proposition. Hatch said a TV commercial on the proposition started run ning locally this weekend and ads have been placed in the Bryan- College Station Eagle explaining what proposition 2 is. The deputy chancellor said there is no real opposition to the proposition, only a general apa thy about the issue. “Some people feel it’s going to pass without any opposition,” he said, but the University isn’t will ing to take that chance. ,JB o «* «f cur «»l lc 693-4045 C.S.
