By JERRY OSLIN
Staff Writer
Texas A&M’s student lobby, the
Legislative Study Group, has been
criticized by other school’s student
lobbies for being too pragmatic.
But it is this same pragmatism that
has enabled LSG to bLtild a working
relationship with 1 exas legislators.
“People take stock in what we
(LSG) say because we are not a radi
cal group,” said Chris Gavras, LSG
tuition coordinator. “We don’t go to
extremes on an issue. We work with
the legislature to get the best things
for students.”
Michael O’Quinn, LSG adminis
trative director, agrees that realism
is the key to ef fective lobbying.
“We Tire pretty well respected by
the Legislature because we are rea
listic and that makes us different
from other student lobbies,” he said.
“If you walk in and tell the Legis
lature that you want this or you want
that, they won’t listen to you. You
have to be flexible on the issues. If
your not, you’re not going to be al
lowed any kind of input.”
Chip Strickland, an aide to state
Senator Kent Caperton, D-Bryan,
said he is impressed with LSG’s
knowledge of the Legislature.
“They know what’s going on,”
Strickland said. “They have a good
sense of the Legislature’s workings.
You have to advocate a reasonable
position before anybody will listen to
you. And they do that without com
promising their beliefs.”
He also said LSG does a good job
of informing legislators on issues
concerning higher education.
“They are very effective in giving
information and they do a good job
on researching the issues,” Strick
land said. “They are well informed.
They have a professional attitude
and are effective at being a spokes
man for students.”
George T orres, aide to Rep. Wil-
helmina Delco D-Austin, said LSG’s
strength is in their ability to provide
information.
“They have done a good job of
providing information to people in
Austin,” he said. “That has been
their strength so far. Whenever we
have needed information on higher
education issues, they have been
right there with hard, accurate in
formation.”
Meg Brooks, director of the Uni
versity of Texas’ student lobby, said
she is impressed with LSG’s profes
sionalism.
“When you deal with the Legis
lature, you have to look and act pro
fessional and LSG does these
things,” she said. “They have their
stuff together.”
“Whenever we have
needed information on
issues,
with hard, accurate infor
mation.” — George
Torres, aide to Rep. Wii-
helmina Delco Austin
By being from A&M, LSG has
some built-in advantages and disad
vantages, Brooks said.
“There are a lot of Aggie legis
lators, and they would much rather
talk to someone from A&M then
from Texas,” she said. “But there is
a built-in disadvantage being from
A&M though. I hey can’t go to the
capitol everyday and talk to legis
lators.”
Although LSG is only in its third
year of existence, it has had signifi
cant impact on recent tuition-raising
legislation, O’Quinn said.
“Two years ago there was a bill be
fore the House that would have
raised tuition,” he said. “We knew
that tution would be raised even
tually, so we offered an amendment
to the bill that would have tied the
Legislature’s hands as to how tuition
would be raised. Tt got through the
House but the Senate killed it.”
LSG was criticized by U.T.’s lobby
for going along with a tuition in
crease, O’Quinn said, but it enabled
LSG to “get a foot in the door of the
Legislature” and made it possible for
them to have input on future legis
lation.
Brooks said she disagreed with
LSG’s position on the tuition in
crease two years ago.
“They made a mistake two years
ago. I don’t think they were rep
resenting the real attitudes of the
students,” she said.
Brooks said the* mistake was be
cause of LSG’s inexperience at the
time.
“They were a young group and
didn’t have a lot of experience,” she
said. “They talked to the wrong peo
ple and followed the wrong advice.”
During the Legislature’s special
session last summer, LSG was instru
mental in postponing a tuition in
crease, Gavras said.
“During the special session last
summer, some people tried to sneak
by a tuition increase, and we learned
about it the morning that it was sup
posed to go to committee,” he said.
“Johnny Hatch (director of LSG)
drove to Austin that mornipg and
testified before the committee. He
persuaded them to wait on a tuition
increase so there could be more re
search done on it. Without Johnny’s
lobbying, tuition would have been
raised last summer.”
If LSG can’t stop legislation that
hurts students, it will work for the
bill that hurts students least, Gavras
said.
“There is going to be a tuition in
crease,” he said. “If we argued for a
no-tuition increase, people wouldn’t
pay any attention to us and we
wouldn't have any input. We are ar
guing for the Delco plan because it
hurts students the least.”
The Delco plan, proposed by
Delco, the House Higher Education
Committee chairman, has two op
tions for raising tuition.
The first option calls for increas
ing resident tuition in 1986 to $8 per
semestei hour and increasing nonre
sident tuition to $120 per hour. In
1987, resident tuition would be
raised to $12 per hour. Nyu-resident
tuition would remain at $120 per
hou r.
The second option calls for an in
crease of resident tuition to $10 per
semester hour in 1986 and an in
crease of non-resident tuition to
$100 per hour that same year. Resi
lient tuition would be raised to $12
per hour in 1987 while non-resident
tuition would stay the same.
Gavras said the option that pro
duces the most money will be ac
cepted.
Delco’s plan also calls for a grand
father clause that will exempt stu
dents currently in college from the
increase, but Gavras said the Legis
lature probably will not accept the
grandfather clause.
“The bottom line is that $121 mil
lion must be collected from tuition
revenues over the next two years,"
he said. “There is no way that they
can raise that kind of money with a
full grandfather clause.”
Delco’s plan also calls for the
money raised by college tuition to be
put in a special fund so that it goes
back to higher education. Currently,
the money raised from tuition goes
into the state’s general fund which is
used to pay for other state programs
besides higher education.

“We
make sine that the money paid bv
college students stays in higher edu
