Plitt planning to build
new six-screen theater
By PAUL HERNDON
Reporter
Plitt Southern Theatres Inc. an
nounced plans Monday to build a
six-screen theater on the corner of
University Drive and Tarrow Street.
It will be part of the new University
Park multi-use center.
The company plans to open the
new theater in December, said Plitt
Cinema III manager, John Hunt.
Hunt said the decision to build the
new theater is not purely economi
cal. It also is an attempt to bring bet
ter entertainment facilities to Bryan-
College Station.
“The whole idea behind the new'
Plitt,” he said, “is to appeal to stu
dents, and the local population, by
bringing high quality sight and
sound techniques to the movie-going
public.”
The new theater will be a 20,700-
square-foot building with an eight
sided concession stand. Maximum
capacity w ill be around 1,500 people
with a parking area for 600 cars.
When the new theater is finished,
Plitt and locally owned Schulman
Theaters will each own 12 screens in
the Bryan-College Station area.
Hunt said he believes the area can
support 24 movie screens.
"Right now you can go to a video
store and see that only about 60 per
cent of their inventory has been
shown at a theater here,” he said.
“Some of the movies may not be
high-budget films, but movies like
‘Porky’s’ were low-budget films that
caught on big at the box office."

Aid
Group: some colleges not using
funds earmarked for needy
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas A&M is among
several state colleges not spend
ing all the money the Legislature
earmarked for education of needy
black and Hispanic students, accord
ing to the Mexican American Legis
lative Caucus.
Since 1975, state senior and junior
colleges have been directed to set
aside a certain percentage of their
tuition revenue to make student
loans.
But many colleges have let this
loan money accumulate as a surplus,
Rep. A1 Luna, D-Houston, chairman
of the caucus, told a news confer
ence Thursday.
“The astronomical percentages of
surplus funds in so many institutions
dearly demonstrate that we are
continuing to perpetuate the prob
lem of denying minority students
the opportunity to take full advan
tage of a college education even here
in Texas,” Luna said.
Luna said figures from the Texas
College Coordinating Board indi
cate that 59 percent of the student
loan money was not spent last year.
Junior colleges had a surplus of 139
percent, including money left over
from previous years, Luna said.
“I think it is a failure of the insti
tutions tq get out and find students
who need the money,” said Luna.
He said the tripling of college tu
ition and President Reagan’s threats
to cut financial aid could potentially
combine to hurt many minority stu
dents unless something is done at
the state level.
“I think just about all institLitions
now are accessible by minority stu
dents. In every institution of the
state there are black kids or Hispanic
kids that are in
)hic reach of
in geograpr
the institution, but maybe not in eco
nomic reach,” Luna said. “I think it
then becomes the responsibility of
the institutions to outreach tnose
students. I think with a little bit of ef
fort every institution could reach
those students.”
Luna said the Mexican American
Legislative Caucus had complained
to the College Coordinating Board,
but the board feels it does not have
authority to force colleges to spend
the money.
However, the board is asking for a
report within 30 days on the unspent
funds.
“This may be something we can
consider in the next Legislature,” he
said.
Luna said a study by the caucus
showed that among senior state insti
tutions, the University of Houston,
Pan American University and Texas
Southern University have spent the
student aid funds.
East Texas State University at
Texarkana has an unspent total of
513 percent, apparently accumu
lated over several years, Luna said.
Midwestern State University has 367
percent, Sul Ross State University
396 percent and West Texas Univer
sity 267 percent.
Texas A&M University has a sur
plus of 15 percent and University of
Texas at Austin 6 percent, Luna
said.
Among state junior colleges.
Ranger Junior College has a surplus
of 1,157 percent while Texarkana
and Wharton County junior colleges
each have a surplus of 633 percent,
he said.
Mother, state at odds
over care of retarded child
Associated Press
GALVESTON — The state of
Texas and a Galveston County
woman are in dispute over whether
the state should care for the wom
an’s 8-year-old mentally retarded
daughter because the mother re
fuses to care for her.
“I have been accused of abandon
ing her and I know it sounds cold,”
says Kathleen Gtimez, 25, of Bayou
Vista. “But she’s in a setting now
where her needs are being met. I’ll
go to jail before I take her home.”
The daughter, Melissa Collins,
was born with a genetic defect and
has been in the Beaumont State Res
pite Center since April 9. The fa
cility is intended for short-time care
of retarded children. Gomez, how
ever, has refused to retrieve the girl.
The state was given temporary
custody of Melissa last month and
remains in the center while state of
ficials try to arrange for a foster
home.
Gomez contends she is within her
rights to demand that the state care
for the child because she cannot pro
vide the kind of care needed and she
can’t afford a private hospital.
At the same time, however, she
says she should not have to give up
legal rights to the child.
“I shouldn’t have to give up one
right to gain another right,” Gomez
said Wednesday after a state judge
delayed a hearing on the matter un
til next week.
State officials say they have no
room in facilities for Melissa so they
want the mother to take the daugh
ter back. Gomez is refusing.
“The mother says she’s not willing
to take care of Melissa, so we’re try
ing to recruit a foster family,” Bev
erly Nussbaumer, director of Chil
dren’s protective Services for the
Galveston County area, said. “We’re
between a rock and a hard place.”
Nussbaumer, however, said none
of the state hospitals has room for
Melissa, decribed by her mother as
an “8 year-old child with a 9-month-
old mind.”
“She has to be watched 24 hours a
day,” Gomez said. “She wears dia
pers and she has to be fed. When she
was home, we had to tie a sheet over
the top of the crib so she couldn’t get
out. She had this habit of getting out
of her crib and taking nocturnal
journeys.”
Gomez said a psychiatric report
supports her contentions, and the
report will be used at the court hear
ing to bolster her bid for permanent
placement in a state institution.
Hunt said although themoiitj
dustry had some difficulty ini
past competing with the hotne-n
market, theaters currentlyareei
ing a renewed popularity.
“When it comes to movie enj
tainment,” he said, “nothingc
beat a hig-screen.”
The new market is not onlyg
for Plitt and Schulman, Hunts
hut also good for college studeiml
