MSC council proposes cuts
Previous deficits high
By ANN CERVENKA
Staff Writer
Although the Memorial Student
Center Council has cut the budgets
of many of the 32 committees, qual
ity and quantity of the programming
should not decline, MSC President
Pat Wood said.
“It’s a touchy subject,” Director of
Accounts Carol Collier said. “It’s a
touchy subject. What scares me most
is that it was a no choice situation.”
The current budget had to be
trimmed by about $69,000 to help
pay the $148,000 deficit remaining
from 1983-1984, Wood said. The
deficit was caused by committees not
generating the income they pro
jected.
The budgets for 1985-1986 also
will be affected, Collier said. Most
budgets will be cut, and several com
mittees eliminated.
“We have to prioritize those
things,” Wood said. The council will
try to make the best use of student
money, energy and staff time, he
said.
However, final decisions will not
be announced until the MSC Coun
cil meeting Monday night.
Dr. John Koldus, vice president
for student services who oversees the
MSC Council, has asked the budget
either not increase from last year, or
that it decrease by two percent.
“Someone is throwing a brick wall
on our growth.” he said.”
Collier said the council spent
many hours discussing the cuts, and
also gave the committees the oppor
tunity to speak to the Budget Review
Committee.
“Basically every committee was
touched,” Wood said. “T he cuts
were generally across the board.”
However, the direction of the
MSC will not change.
“We will just have to go with the
less glamorous names but with qual
ity speakers, which is how the MSC
used to run,” Wood said. “We’ve got
ten a little lazy.
“We knew this year would be
tough because we are competing
with the community,” he said. HBO,
MTV and the 16 movie screens in
the Bryan-College Station commu
nity have taken away some of the in
come previously generated by the
committees.
Judge rules family has right
to teach children at home
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — A Fort Worth family’s
successful fight for the right to educate three children
at home instead of in public schools could spur more
home classrooms, supporters say.
A judge ruled Tuesday that Larry and Velma Neal
may continue their dining table classes for Sarah, 9, Er
nest, 12, and Larry Jr., 16, despite the school district’s
contention that they violated state-mandated school at
tendance.
Their victory could bring a lot of home educators
“out of the woodwork,” said William Randall, founder
of the private religious academy that publishes home
courses used by the Neal family.
After the court decision. Fort Worth school officials
said the law’s vague definition of a school forces dis
tricts to take home educators to court.
“The district must continue with obeying the law un
til they get a better law or better definition through the
Legislature,” said Assistant Fort Worth Superinten
dent J.D. Shipp, a witness for the school district.
“If this becomes a major issue, I would think school
districts around the state will be asking the Legislature
for a definition,” said Bill Whitworth, student affairs
director for the Fort Worth schools.
Justice of the Peace Manuel Valdez ruled that the
state has no clear definition of a private school in the
Neal case.
